[Equius was not the sort of troll who liked doing this type of thing. Admittedly, he'd gotten more conversational recently, but that was a bit of a misnomer in some ways. However, he was reasonably certain that Eridan was not going to be making this announcement, not given their conversations recently, and he knew for a fact that Sollux wouldn't bother, nor did he think any of the others had a reason to do so.

However, this qualified as a public service announcement the whole city should be made aware of, and so it fell upon one of high station to at least put in the effort. It didn't seem right to do it over audio, however, so text it would be.]

D --> It is a ta%ing duty I take upon myself today
D --> Those familiar with Her Imperious Condescension should be made aware that her presence has been upr00ted from among our midst
D --> The light and guidance of the Empress returns to e%pedite the rulership of the glorious Alternian Empire

[Such as it was. Glob only knew what had happened to their universe considering the whole fiasco before he'd died. Aradia would have known that better.]

D --> I e%hort those who retained grievances with her august majesty to demonstrate g00d and solid restraint in e%pressing it
D --> I am in no m00d for f00lish arguments on the topic
D --> In other news
D --> Does anyone require a crate full of scented shamp00s
D --> The use of this much would be frivolity

[A bit shy and intimidated, Nevy also turns on her video function. She stares at him unabashedly, not sure what to say for a few minutes.

All things considered, their two species aren't actually that hugely different.]

Oh. I've met one of you before, [is her kind and eloquent response.]

[Hmmm, no they weren't that different, were they? She was blue-haired and purple skinned. Vaguely, he remembered someone he'd met before, but the colors were completely wrong. That creature wasn't here though, so it didn't matter for the moment.]

Excellent. That does simplify matters. And clearly you are not of our species.

No... I'm not a troll. I don't know what I am. [She says for the millionth time.]

[Sometimes he was dense.... always he was dense.]

You are like no species I have encountered before. You only distantly resemble another, and the color schemes are drastically different and some features veyr different, so I don't know that it applies.

Oh. Well... thank you for thinking about it, at least. [Distressed, she sighs.]

You are welcome, I suppose. It is at the very least something of an intriguing experiment or study to determine the nature. Perhaps I should model and create a duplicate ...

To ask others for verification purposes, of course.

[There is no way in which this does not sound horribly wrong, Equius.]

You would do what?

[He took out a pad and a pencil and demonstrated, drawing a small screw and causing it to pop out of the paper.]

I would draw a duplicate, probably a robotic one, for study and research purposes, and comparison to old information on the network. It isn't exactly that complicated at my level.

Oh! Wow! [Nevy's eyes grow wide as she stares at the creation.] Could you really do that?

I can, and I will. I have created such things before, though their quality is not what it should be. Still, I will be happy to do so.

Admittedly, I think it best if we meet. I should be certain to get a good look at you before trying to draw you as a robot.

Oh...

I don't know if I should meet anyone alone. I don't know.

Hmmm, very well. Should you change your mind, contact me. I will keep my schedule available for the possibility.
