[Ther camera turns on, showing Cheriour looking rather serious. You see, he had a talk with one Vriska Serket a while ago, and found out something which troubled him greatly.]

So, um, I had the pleasure of talking to a few people, and a young lady wanted me to tell you something that has been concerning her about the way people see her species.

You see, she is a troll. But this is where I will stop you before you start to get a mental image of what a troll is in your mind. We tend to imagine trolls as the ones found in fairy tales, which are big, mean, and ugly creatures who are found under bridges and other such dark places.

But the trolls from her world are entirely different! Here. I have drawn some pictures to help you all understand.

 [And he holds up the below picture to the camera. Oh...well. Cheriour certainly is a, erm, wonderful artist, isn't he? :I]





You see, they are more like human beings in nature. They have a few differences like their skin and their eyes and the fact they have horns, but they are not big and mean and ugly and they shouldn't be thought of that way! Please, I implore you all not to make such a rude mistake when talking to them. It is like thinking a witch should have pointy hats and a broom when that may not be the case! So, remember, don't think trolls are supposed to be ugly when they aren't!

 [He grins and puts away his drawing, glad to help with this horribly rude travesty!]

Now that I've got that over with,  I have a question. Anyone else in the Heimdall House have the ability to lend their power to others? I know Castiel mentioned a woman named Morgana...anyone else have it, though? I'd love to practice with you all, so we can get better at using our ability to benefit others.

And last but not least, I seem to be rooming with one Klaud Nine...? What an odd name. Anyways, I'd love to get to know you, whoever you are!

[ooc: Sorry for the quality of the picture, my scanner is broken and I had to take a picture. DARN MY TECHNOLOGY. But still, hope it's readable!]

Termites.

[ YEP, THAT'S HOW HE'S CLASSIFYING THESE GUYS. ]

Excuse me?

Those freaks are termites.

It's very nice of you to try to help them like that. I'm glad you said something. [And she could mention that he's right about witches not always having pointy hats and brooms, but she doesn't just yet.]

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

Not a problem at all, miss! I don't want people wrongly judging them for something they are not.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Voice -> Video]

Mm. I agree. I don't think anyone likes it very much. That boy on the network a while ago seemed frustrated about it. [And otherwise fairly cranky.]

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

VIDEO.

What funny little illustrations! Are you an artist?[He seems to lean forward to attempt to get a better look at them.]

I think I've seen the ones on the right lookin' around. Always wondered 'bout those things growing out of their head.

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, not really an artist. Not really what I do...

Yes, I believe they are horns? Wonder what they use them for.

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

Oh? What do you do then because I like you're drawin's! Not quite what I'm used t' seeing as far as art's concerned.

Maybe they have somethin' to do with status?

People really couldn't work that out by looking at and talking to the trolls?

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but they often say things like "Why aren't you under a brdige?" or "My, you're surprisingly not ugly!" or stuff like that. It's demeaning!

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

I think that's going to happen regardless, Oniichan. It's only natural when so many worlds meet.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Well, like, people here are dragged from all over the universe, right? Next thing ya know, we'll get the billygoat-eating, bridge-dwelling type here anyway.

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

True, true! But for the time being, I'm just putting it out there that a different sort of troll exists.

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

From what I can tell, you can make, like, a whole book on the different kinda people here. Species? I dunno, whatever ya wanna call it.

Reminds me of how people didn't get that I'm a hedgehog.

[Sonic shakes his head. No, he's not really phased by the clock eyes. He's a talking, blue rodent, and he's seen weirder.]

If people here are showin' up from different worlds, then people need to chill. What's normal to them sure ain't gonna be normal to some of us.

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

You're a hedgehog?

[WHAT EVEN]

Yes, yes, they really need to, um, chill! There needs to be more acceptance in this world.

[ This is very educational. ]

Nice drawing.

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

Oh, um, thank you! Didn't know my drawings would be liked so much...

There's no need to so cheerfully defend those creatures -- or treat them as human, for that matter.

That said, thank you for the warning.

[A frown.]

How come? What did they ever do to you?

[video]

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

[Have a blond kid looking just... so very baffled. He knows about trolls and witches from the stories and it's really very hard to reconcile everything.

Not that he isn't trying, mind you.]

You... have remarkable artistic skills. [He does mean that, even though it's kind of hilarious in this context. He recognizes both of the trolls in question, and well... pffffft.] I'm sure the grey-skinned people appreciate your help.

[But to be honest, he's much more interested in something else--]

May I ask for further details about this 'ability to lend power to others' that you mentioned?

[video]

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! I didn't realize my artistic skills would be so recognized. [A large grin.] Yes, I'm sure they do!

Ah! Yes. I'm in Heimdall House, and I can give my power to others to aid them with their own abilities! Quite fascinating, really.
