[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

[tipsygnostalgia]

[alternia_strength]

D --> I do not believe so
D --> Though I am no linguistics e%pert
D --> I would need to consider that a moment

[Who knows with trolls sometimes?]

[tipsygnostalgia]

oh ok
french is a cool language anyway it sounds all romantic and sophisticated

[alternia_strength]

D --> The sort one would use on a matesprite
D --> Or more of a kismesis style of communication

[tipsygnostalgia]

oh def a matesprit kind of thing
if u want a language of romance 4 the hatelovins you probably want 2 try something angry sounding like german lol

[alternia_strength]

D --> German you say
D --> I should remember this
D --> Perhaps e%periment with it

[tipsygnostalgia]

yeah you should give it a go
do you have a hate gf then or something

[alternia_strength]

D --> Neither at present
D --> I have an e%periment in other directions but believe it is failing miserably
D --> And for once I am disinclined to repeatedly force the matter
D --> It proceeded p00rly with Aradia
D --> No need to beat the horse to death

D --> Still useful knowledge to possess
D --> Might try a few lines of this french on my moirail to see what she thinks of its use

[tipsygnostalgia]

if your practicing on nepeta you can say j'adore le chat
thats french 4 i like cats i think
tho youve got to say it with a sh like le shat
not to be confused with shat like shit btw thats nasty

[alternia_strength]

D --> I am adjusting to being rejected by one yes
D --> J'adore le chat
D --> But more like shat than chat
D --> I believe I understand the distinction in this regard

D --> What other words should I test

[Roxy... you realize what horrible things you're setting up, don't you?]

[tipsygnostalgia]

eeeeexcellent see youre a natural
ok now try this one
voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir

this is a v important one u should test it out

Audio

[alternia_strength]

[Yeah, she knows exactly what she's doing...

Nepeta might almost be proud, if she wasn't horrified that Equius would be basically propositioning her.]

I will use the audio feeds. It seems prudent. Voolez-vous coocher avec muaw ce swah. ...no, I am unsure of these pronunciations. I am also concerned. How will she know what it is that I am attempting to express?

In fact, I am not sure what I am expressing myself. One would think it important to make sure she is at least aware of the desired sentiment, to avoid confusion, yes?

Audio

[tipsygnostalgia]

[switching her own on]

No no, it's like this.

"Vou-ley vou coushey avec mwah, se swah"

This one's something you only wanna use on someone you like, though. Or hate too, I guess.

Re: Audio

[alternia_strength]

Voo-lai... no, Vou-ley vou coushey avec mwah seh swah... I will need to practice. And yes, I believe that I appreciate her company quite a bit. I take it that it conveys pity in a way?

Audio

[tipsygnostalgia]

You'll get the hang of it!

[Pity is the red love thing, right?]

Yeah. Def lots of pitying going on there.

Re: Audio

[alternia_strength]

Very well. Hmmm... I will have to attempt it. Now just a matter of making sure my meaning is clear...

Audio

[tipsygnostalgia]

[You know she's totally forgotten he was planning on practicing on Nepeta..]

It's basically saying 'I like you. You like me. Let's do things.]

Audio

[alternia_strength]

[Roxy...]

Straightforward. I will attempt to find a convenient translation guide for them as well. It wouldn't hurt.

Audio

[tipsygnostalgia]

All the ladies will swoon if you learn it I'm telling ya. It's the language of lurve~ for a reason.

Re: Audio

[alternia_strength]

In the end, would I not only wish one person to swoon? Perhaps I should test it on... no, no, that wouldn't work well.

Audio

[tipsygnostalgia]

That depends I guess on if you're trying to be a playa or not.

Re: Audio

[alternia_strength]

That sounds like something Dave would mention... which reminds me that he and I haven't spoken in a considerable length of time.

Audio

[tipsygnostalgia]

Oh, you know Dave? Were you one of his patron trolls or something.
