[Day 195] AUDIO

[There's a very quiet shuffling in the background, punctuated by a distant 'baa' right before Naminé begins to speak.]

Happy Holidays, everyone.

[She sounds to be in a fairly good mood.]

If anyone could suggest a place that I might be able to house my sheep while it's cold, I'd really appreciate it. It just seems wrong to leave her outside, and she's been in my room, but-- [Whoops, looks like she had to turn away from the bracelet for a moment.] Bo Peep, please don't do that...! [More clearly again,] ... but I've been thinking that it might not be the best place for her. Thank you-- Bo Peep, no! That's not food--

[Aaaaaaand there goes the feed.]

(( Naminé will also be going out today to hand out presents to those she's spoken to more than once. The post for that is here, and she may wish to discuss it in this post as well for the purposes of arranging meetings. ))

His blood isn't low so much as very rare and uncommon. Technically, his blood is a mutation. Usually, most would not even care for him usually. But time was kind to him.

--....

[Now that's interesting. Sad, rather, but-- she can relate. She makes a mental note to see about speaking to him again, if he's in the city. She can guess what Aradia means about time and its kindness.]

Because the situation changed?

To be honest, our race became much more kind as things progressed. In the past, no one would ever take his kind in, but Karkat's lusus ended up taking him in.

[And she thinks that it shows that they're kind at least progressed in some way.]

[Huh. Well...]

That's... comforting. [Even if it's not the best, it's a 'better'. She pauses, then,]

Lusii are... like animals, right? Even they wouldn't have taken him in? [She can't being curious, of course.] What-- or who was his lusus? [Which would be applicable, there? She means species, but-- ugh.]

They are. It's hard to really explain since I never had a reason to explain them to those who weren't familiar. But yes, before, his mutation would have usually left him stranded had our race not have grown to be more compassionate. It is usually rare for him to exist passed the stages of being a grub.

I think his was a crab beast of some kind!

[So he would have been killed, then. That seems to be the implication. So much death in their world, even for the young.]

I think I understand. Well... I'm glad that he made it, then.

[Huh.] That... must have been interesting. You know - it sounds like a fascinating system. It's a little hard for me to imagine what it must be like, I think. I'm curious.

[He'd probably just die rather than be killed. No one to raise him and all.]

Oh yes! He is part of my session after all.

It seems it's a similar system to humans and parents. But even then, it's not quite the same.

[Murder by neglect? (She does have a tendency to expect violence, unfortunately, and not just because it's trolls.)]

Of course. [That's... one way to look at it.] Did you two get along?

Mm. I agree. Lusii... don't speak, do they?

To some extent. He can be a little difficult to deal with at times, though.

Not really. No.

I think I might have an idea of what you mean. He... seemed kind of noisy, from what I saw.

That's one of the big differences, I think - it's something else when you can explain things with words as well.

I guess nosy is one way to put it. He wanted to be the leader in charge, but I don't really think he's trying to do that anymore, since everything has happened.

It was a mutual relationship. We knew what we were supposed to do in return. Condependent relationship and all.

That... does sound like it would be a hard job. [She pauses, then,] Do you think he would have been a good one?

Mm. Sometimes you don't need words. [Even if they do make for a different sort of situation.]

I think he wasn't a terrible leader, but I don't really think it was his thing either.

Huh. Well, I guess it could be worse, if someone had to do it.

Things worked out in the end. [Kind of.]

It sounds like they did. [Sort of.] At least some of you made it through.

Yes! And it's not like just because they died doesn't mean things truly ended for them.

-- Mm. That too, of course. [Even if it's a different sort of 'working out'.]
