Trollslum Cafe LXXXVIII: Just six more eights until the curse is complete.

[Steev]

Welcome to the Trollslum Café!

First off, just a friendly reminder that people on the moderators list below are here to take care of making new threads. We are On The Case if a thread is reaching 100 pages, you can count on us. And now back to your regularly scheduled trolgramming:

Our Guiding Principle: We are fans of Homestuck, and of the trolls in particular. We like to make fantrolls, and we love to roleplay them. And so, once upon a time, this thread was created as a place to host new, undeveloped trolls so that players could flesh them out while interacting with other characters. This is the primary purpose of the Café.

Moderators

There are moderators to keep quality control of the Café. They will enforce rules, post new threads, and are generally around to help you if you have a problem or a question that needs answering. The current list of mods are..

Suds McFuddle
Steev
Overlard
Araiss
Cliff_Racer
Blank
Ocfos

Notice to newer players: We highly encourage you to post a profile in the trollslum thread or in the critique thread before starting your roleplaying experience in the Café. Getting some feedback on your character before you start playing can help you make a better character and avoid some common pitfalls.

Below are some rules that we would like you to follow when you post in the Café. Please read them carefully, whether you are new or old to the Café!

1. Characters and Settings

The Café is located somewhere on Alternia (the troll homeworld populated by the young). Any troll on Alternia can access it. Mutants, aliens, and freaks overall are not accepted. This means no aliens (humans included), abominations, undead, ghosts, robots*, freaks*, and mutants*. General fandom for adult trolls starts at 10 sweeps and older, which means they would be off planet in the fleet or culled for failing to provide genetic material at that age, so trolls over 10 sweeps are strongly discouraged*.

* <- The above asterisks note exceptions for good cause: if you're sending a troll of this nature in the Café, they must have a good reason to be alive (or still on the planet, in the case of adults). If your character falls into one of these categories, the moderators will ask you to justify the reason for them to be considered an exception to the rules. These exceptions must all be of Trollish origin as this is the Trollslum Cafe. Also a good rule of thumb is that it shouldn't force every single head to turn if they enter the cafe.

The Café is also set outside of a SGRUB or S***B continuity. No troll knows about any game information or about humans. Aspects and characters from what would be from a SGRUB or S***B session (god tier/S***B powers) are also banned, save them for a session roleplay.

2. Participating in the Café; Guidelines for Posting

There are no pre-requisites for joining the Café. Simply jump in and start a conversation with someone who is unoccupied.

a. Indicate which character you are speaking to if you are starting a conversation. If there is no name, be as specific as possible.
b. You can quote the previous post to enhance the clarity of responses, but use spoiler tags and do not post quote pyramids. You can be infracted for this.
c. Before beginning a conversation, make sure the character isn't already talking to someone. Interrupting a one-on-one conversation is rude, though planned interruptions are fine. If they tell you to go away please respect that decision.
d. When speaking OOC (out-of-character, as yourself) use (( parentheses )) or [[ brackets ]] to indicate OOC speech.
e. Post containing only OOC chat are prohibited. Go to the Trollslum General Chat Thread or a private medium for that.
f. Images posted here may consist of only standard sprites or AB (Alterniabound) sprites of your character. Meme/OOC images are forbidden; use common sense.
g. If you want to roleplay something that isn't allowed (see below), there are other mediums for roleplaying: instant messengers, including the Pesterchum client; typewith.me or sync.in collaborative documents; and private messages.

3. Fights

Fights are a different kind of roleplay, so they need special rules. Please read this next important section carefully.

a. Avoid fights if possible! There are usually other options besides instantly pulling out a weapon, so try the peaceful options first. Your troll may be violent or you may want to show off your character's skills, but this is a place for character development. This doesn't mean that you are prohibited from playing a mean of provocative character, just know your limits!
b. If you must engage in a fight, please contact the other players privately (PM/chat client) to plan things out. It is good to have an end result and a plan to avoid annoying one-upmanship contests.
c.Follow fighting etiquette: describe your character's actions thoroughly. Avoid godmodding. A good example of roleplaying an action is: “I aim at your character’s face and fire.” It explains the action and gives the other character a chance to respond.
An example of godmodding is: "I stab your character in the jugular vein." You don't have control over the other character's actions.
d. Do not get involved in someone else's fight! There are exceptions, such as if your troll is in a quadrant, or if they are friends with a participant. Trolls generally don't care about other trolls' problems if they don't know them.

4. Romance

Quadrants ARE needed for a troll to avoid culling, but the Café is a public setting. Trolls are shy about their quadrants (seen in canon), so they won't go to a public place just to make out. Relationship progress is important for character development, but sloppy makeouts are not.

*Anything above PG-13 such as fondling, grouping, lewd, sexual, or questionable behavior is forbidden. Take it to a private chat.
*If you bring a character in solely to have make-outs, a moderator may ask you to leave.

5. Problems

Problems will happen, whether they be excessive fights, godmodding, or another player causing drama. If you have a problem with someone, contact them privately and politely, not in the thread.

The mod team will only contact you for legitimate reasons; we aim to create a good RP atmosphere, not to harass individuals.

The mods will try to keep the peace, and if one of them sees a problem involving your character they will send you a polite PM asking for an explanation. Characters will be asked to leave if they cause constant problems, violate the rules, or need revision.

6. Rule Changes

The rules may be changed at any time without notification, so it's wise to check the rules occasionally. Remember the goal is to have fun, so be polite and enjoy yourselves!

[tryptomanicPorpoise]

Nahvul shuffles in fiddling with his fork-top
He makes his way to an empty table

((Re-Repost))


DJ LED enters the cafe, in an up-beat mood.
Larvin sits in the front corner of the cafe and just relaxes with a Cappuccino that he just ordered.

[Weeaboo]

Tonight feels like a night.

For jiggling.

So here we are, Sauria who jiggles in and sits down. She orders a nice water and sips it patiently. Waiting for the place to fill up is a bother sometimes.

[Araiss]

Honk, so you're blaming him for not hearing your apology because you muttered it, Honk. Honk, that really doesn't make sense if he didn't hear it, Honk. Honk, you're acting a little silly about whole thing, Honk.

[Silvy]

no, i was blaming all che noisy chrolls chach seem cho inhabich chis eschablishmench.

[CraftyJongleur]

Sharma watches the new anonblood walk in. He wonders if he should consider making friends with anonbloods now. He continues to wonder...

[Weeaboo]

Sauria actually prefers to make friends with anonbloods. At least then, she doesn't really have to worry about any of them trusting her as far as her blood color goes.

[Araiss]

Honk, you seem to have a lot of excuses, Honk. Honk, try not to mess with any of us again, Honk. Honk, that's just my advice, Honk. Honk, this guy is only a wiggler, but a normal subjugglator might beat you or cull you, Honk.

[Silvy]

He nods.

advice noched.

He then walks away, towards another table in the cafe. Away from the subjugs.

[CraftyJongleur]

Sharma walks up to Sauria's table and just sort of stands there, eyes glazed over.

[Strider]

Horrin grabs a faygo and walks over to Najjag with it. He stops over where Najjag and Claste are and offers the Faygo. )))Faygo Bro?(((

((I was told I could have Horrin come over once the planned thing was done. Hopefully I am not butting in prematurely, :|))

[Weeaboo]

Sauria looks up at him.

O I think yOu n33d tO cl3an yOur fac3. YOu'r3 bl33ding. DO yOu nOt knOw hOw tO b3 anOnymOus? 3

[Syvar]

Oh, hey, lowblood.
~Oh, honk. Sshure.~
He takes it.
~Are you going to call me a clown too, honk?~

[Silvy]

And then he leaves because WOW the authors tired

[Araiss]

Honk, oh no I'm good, I'm not really in the mood for a drink after dealing with that, Honk.

[inexplicableSigns]

A remarkably tall and scary looking orangeblood walks into the cafe, grinning widely. His clothing is a bit tattered, as if he'd been fighting recently and hadn't had a chance to clean up.

Of course, he also has a massive black eye, so that's a good hint. So is the nosebleed. Really, he looks like he got the shit kicked out of him. That being said, his grin and stance seem to shout 'You should see the other guy'.

He strides over to the counter and orders a beer, sitting down and taking a drink with a content sigh.

[Tekkenfreak4]

Larvin is still here, idling...
He is still in a good mood too.
He lightly taps a beat on the table...

[tryptomanicPorpoise]

Nahvul notices a slight beat.
He is oddly drawn towards it.
He finds this cool guy
~~What ya doing?~>
His head bobbing to the beat

[inexplicableSigns]

Xosdil perks up a bit upon hearing something that was suspiciously similar to a drum beat.
In fact, it seemed to be just that. Not anything he recognized, but that was hardly a problem.
Xosdil puts his drink down and starts drumming along, augmenting the original beat with his own tune.

[Weeaboo]

Well, that guy disappeared so Sauria is free again, I guess.

[Tekkenfreak4]

Oh, a seadweller. Better give him the utmost respect.

[(o)!_!(o)] just tapping a bÉat,
sir. is that a
problÉm? i couLD stop
if you wish, sir.

Larvin stops after that...

[tryptomanicPorpoise]

Nahvul frowns
~~No no. Dont stop~>
He sits down at the table
~~My names Nahvul Rychlo~>

[Tekkenfreak4]

[(o)!_!(o)] i am Larvin ÉLÉtro.
it is nicÉ to
mÉÉt you, sir. how
arÉ you?

Larvin goes back to drumming a beat on the table.
This one might be familiar to any gamers in the cafe...

[InsanicAsu]

Finian comes skipping in, giggling as per usual. He doesn't notice Sharma, should he still be around.
