Good day, Asgard.

[The violet sea troll offers a surprisingly friendly wave, sitting at the oak desk in his room in the Baldr welcome hall. He twirls a feather quill in his other hand as he speaks.]

I came across a grubdisc I had nearly forgotten, an' it reminded me of a question I'd been dyin' to ask you.

[He pauses for emphasis, leaning in to smirk conspiratorially.]

Has anyone here evver felt personally vvictimized by Sollux Captor?

If the answwer is yes, an' I suspect it wwill be, I havve a proposition that you wwill find mutually beneficial.

An' Sol, if you're fuckin' eavvesdroppin' like the slitherbeast in the grass that you are, you should knoww that I intentionally didn't hide this little message from your repulsivve mutant eyes because I wwanted you to knoww just howw many people wwish you wwere fuckin' dead. Maybe you could do them a favvor an' take care a' that little predicament a' your still bein' alivve all on your owwn.

[Didn't hide it, couldn't hide it. Same difference. Either way, he disconnects the video shortly after with a laugh.]

Different colors, different mutations? Interesting...

What's yours? Do you have any super special powers?

[He motions to the gills on his neck.]

I can breathe underwwater.

Oh, that makes sense. At first I thought those were like for decoration, like those frilled lizards they have back home.

Though I'm guessing you don't live all the time underwater, if you can breath air too?

Both. I just choose to livve on land. It wwas closer to wwork on my plannin' doomsday devvices if I could physically inspect them.

An' besides, many conquerors livve among their conquered--to scope out the local populous.

...Why were you planning to end the world in your spare time, if you don't mind me asking? I mean, doomsday devices don't exactly scream "safe".

Let me guess, the conquered lived on land while you hung out in your underwater palace.

Got it in one. WWe wwould'vve been much better off wwithout land lovvin' trash like Sol.

I don't live underwater or anything, but I appreciate the sentiment. I mean, what would it mean for any good ruler to live among commoners like one himself?

It meant nothin'. I wwas just learnin' more about their wways.

Fef says it echoed some sort a' attachment to those land lubbin' freaks, but that wwas wway off the mark.

Learning the lay of the land, so to speak...I see.

No, a true ruler wouldn't be so intimately attached to his or her subjects. Yes, he must share their overall concerns, but caring? Ha. That isn't a requirement and never has been.

[Which is a lie, because he totally cared about his race and still does, even after some of them went all Brutus up on his Caesar.]
