[The Ψiioniic had figured out how to work his bracelet long ago, but had yet to actually make a post to the network himself. He'll admit, he's more of an observer than someone who would take action, but his curiosity isn't going to take the backseat any longer.

…Sheesh, this is going to be awkward. He's not used to speaking to a crowd of people.]

Found out recently that it doeth continue.

[whatagoodgirl]

[Alright, think this through. Think about the rules of this place.]

So other people - other trolls are... from your future?

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Murdered? [A long pause, and she looks away from the screen.] I'm sorry...

[video]

[auxiliary]

Ordered by the Empreth herthelf.

[He sighs. It's hard to even talk about, but it's the truth.]

I-- I should have made thith private. I don't want him to thee thith. Fuck-

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

I-I'm sorry, I don't think you can go back and make things you've already said filtered. But people don't follow the network all the time, and lots of posts can go unnoticed...

[auxiliary]

Fuck, I'm tho thtupid, I shouldn't be talking about thith anyway--

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

You're not stupid! It's your story to tell. You can explain and apologise if your friend hears it.

jake is so dorky. im so sorry XD

[hopefulpageturner]

Oh no! I don't think I could even digest wood!

[briochetime]

I'm afraid I wouldn't know. I only heard his voice -- I knew that he was a troll because he mentioned it himself.

[occulthymns]

Oh! You're not much older than me, then.

[yingyangmoo]

Horns and the same eyes. [Of course he'd notice the eyes after what became a stare-off with the other person he refers to, but he never directly got a name.] Relatives?

[auxiliary]

Do you mean Thollux Captor? If tho, then yeth. We are related. He ith my dethendent.

no way, jake is super cool!!!

[auxiliary]

Hopefully you'll never have to try.

[auxiliary]

Ah. Ith thith an okay age to be, in your culture?

[auxiliary]

When wath the latht time you heard from him...?

[occulthymns]

Nope. Too old to be doted on, nowhere near old enough to be taken seriously.

[video]

[auxiliary]

... I jutht... don't want him to know. It would crush him.

[auxiliary]

Tho wouldn't you like to do thomething with your life outthide of inthulting people?
