Trollslum Cafe XCIX: Like a Trashy Romance Novel

[JellyWish]

The urge to take note of this troll is overwhelming. ...But there is a good chance he might not be the kindest of people. She curls up tighter in her booth and instead wonders how quickly she can get to the exit if worst comes to worst.

[illogicalInsomniac]

No, !t shouldn't be com!ng back anymore... She pauses for a second, looking a bit scared. Before long, though, she looks pretty determined again. She sips her tea and nods. !t won't be com!ng back, and !f, by some chance, !t does, ! w!ll take care of !t, for all of our sakes. And don't worry about !t, !t was the least ! could do.

[Rai-CH]

"**...Well??**"
She waits for an answer, not sure what to expect.

[Yossarian]

Why? Is all he says.


--------------------------------

Well now, this is interesting, though normal. Just a few low-bloods scampering away at the sight of his one and only.
Hmmm now what to d- His thought is interrupted by some green-blood running past.




Stop, yoHOOo there, what dooHOO think yHOO are dHOOing? He says, crossing his arms as he towers over her, looking down.

[Silvy]

Wooah shit look at that dudes horns. And hat. And scarf. Woah shit. Too bad she doesn't seem to notice anything other than that, and just sort of scribbles on the table now.

[Suds McFuddle]

well...while you were gonne i Might have...kinnda sorta beenn...onnennightstanndinngwithotherladies.

Following his rapid confession, he reduces to grovelling at Aranka's feet, muttering "i'M sorry" a countless number of times.

Zandig, you tool.

[InsanicAsu]

♅ U-um... I w-w-was g-g-going to! I just... d-d-didn't? ♒



┅┅ Just... do not bring it up again. ┅┅✖
She takes a few deep breaths.

[DeoDrew]

This news causes you to crack a smile. Less fear of coming back here, yay!

You soon return back to normal, though.
That <-->s so very n<-->ce to hear. And thank you for be<-->ng..devoted to stopp<-->ng <-->t <-->f <-->t does.
My name <-->s Nenuth, by the way.

[ailsagraystone]

Phew, he took notice of someone else. That freed up her time to go back to reading. She looked over her book and listened to the sounds of the cafe.

[Overlard]

Minora gulps, looking up at him. Living highbloods are already scary enough! Though she's already...kinda...stopped. From sitting on a stool. So she just spun to face him.

"Uhhhhhh wh&t d0 y0u me&n? Is sitting 0n the st00| n0t &||0wed? Th&t seems kind& si||y! Mister, h0w did y0u get s0 t&||?"

it begins anew

"I me&n im&gine h0w |0ng y0ur chitin0us end0ske|et&| b&ckb0ne must be! Did y0u drink |0ts 0f |usus mi|k? W&s it surgery? D0 y0ur |egs get tired fr0m c&rrying &|| th&t weight? Inquiring think p&ns wish t0 kn0w sir!"

[JellyWish]

Muride glances over at Azazel. She is still steamed from what their last conversation, but he seems to be one of the few who she gets along with well, so she supposes she should make amends. That is why she has the parcel, anyway. And the huge guy is distracted. Also a plus.
She swiftly walks over to Azazel's table, staying out of the gargantuan troll's eyesight. Sighing, she places the package on the the table.
this is for you.~

[illogicalInsomniac]

You're very welcome, heh. !'m Vesper. Pleased to meet you! She tips her hat yet again.

[Agmund]

"WhyXareXyouXsoXshyXNepi-dear?"

Nikole has no sense of personal space, physically or socially.

[Rai-CH]

Aranka pauses as that confession sinks in. She moves away from Zandig, climbing out of the booth.
"...W-what...?"
Oh there goes the quirk.
This won't be good.

[Suds McFuddle]

Zandig's still on the floor, grovelling like a little wriggler. Thankfully he hasn't been reduced to tears.

i'M so sorry it's just that you've beenn gonne for so lonng annd i Missed you annd teMptationns annd will you ever forgive Me???

[Yossarian]

Quit, asking qHOOestions. He reaches down and delivers an extremely painfull welt-inducing wip of his index and middle finger across the girl's forehead.


--------------------------------------





Ffftωhωω...and I thought I had quadrant problωms.

[DeoDrew]

N<-->ce to meet you, Vesper. So, uhm.
You look like you're having trouble thinking of what to say.
...N<-->ce hat. You say, pointing at it for a moment before sliding that back to your cider and sipping it.

[Rai-CH]

"Forgive you?"
She twitches.

"...Forgive you??"
Oh shit.
"You're going to have to do So much to make me forgive you!! How could you, Zandig?? How could you??"
She stomps her foot at the second 'how could you'.

[Overlard]

Nope, she's simply too quick to be auto-hit! Or that easily! She instead hops behind the counter and cowers, as the servebot prods her in the back to leave the bar area.

"Y0u me&nie! Why w0u|d y0u d0 th&t? I w&s just curi0us is &||!"

Like a squirrel augmented with caffeine, she's ready to bolt at a second's notice.

[mr_19]

Ublich comes in and everyone just looks so busy. Ah, theres one. He walks over to Silver.
[|:| Hello, there. wHAT are you staring HAT?

[ailsagraystone]

Fellus sighed and put down her book. She needed to eat something, so she ordered a simple bowl of soup, even though she was watching her money. Everyone needed to eat.

[Silvy]

Woah lookie there that dude has a tophat too.

howdy there! i was just lookin at that dudes hat o'er there, but man, yer hat is so much better. is very nice, yes.

[illogicalInsomniac]

Thank you! Hehe. She glances around. So many top hats in here tonight, wow. ! or!g!nally got !t from some of my mag!c acts. That's what ! do, you see. Perform! She shuffles her cards for emphasis. Nothing to talk about? Talk about yourself. Yep.

[Suds McFuddle]

Zandig come on now, you look ridiculous. Get off the floor before you start tearing up!

[InsanicAsu]

┅┅ You know nothing of what you are speaking about. I do not appreciate such commentary. ┅┅✖
She hisses her response, then sighs.
┅┅ Let it be known that none of my quadrants have ended well. ┅┅✖




♅ I... j-j-just am? I've a-a-always been this way. ♒
She's honestly never thought about it before.
