AC: yeah.
AC: so ill live about 130 orr so
AT: oKAY,
AC: but my question is what differrence does that make
AT: wHAT DO YOU MEAN,
AC: in how imporrtant you arre
AC: actually in how expendable you arre
AT: oH,
AC: is it just because therres hundrreds morre seadwellerrs than grr33ns that i should be sent to the frront lines while they command?
AT: i DON'T KNOW,
AC: i could underrstand it if they had the wisdom of thousands of sw33ps behind them,
AC: but no, they instantly get boosted to the top rranks even though they didnt do anything
AT: i GUESS, wHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT, iT DOES SOUND KIND OF UNFAIR,
AC: h33 h33 yeah
AC: but thats because it is
AC: orr look AT it this way
AC: have you everr b33n bossed arround by a higherrblooded?
AT: uM,
AT: yEAH,

AC: how would that worrk out forr you?
AT: i DON'T THINK i'D WANT TO ORDER HER AROUND, tHOUGH,
AT: i MEAN,
AT: tHEM,
AC: :// yeah thats something else
AC: but my question is if you bossed them arround like they do to you wouldnt you be culled?
AT: pROBABLY, yEAH,
AC: but i bet they werre congrratulated forr living up to highblood standerrds
AC: therre werre a couple teals that burrned down my hive when i was youngerr than you
AT: yEAH,
AT: oH NO, }:(
AC: because i took out a beast they wanted but werre two incompetent to get it
AC: and they got mad and orrphaned me
AT: tHAT'S HORRIBLE,
AC: tell me about it
AC: i wanderred arround forr sw33ps alone in the woods
AT: i GUESS, i'M PRETTY GLAD i STILL HAVE A HIVE, tHEN,
AC: h33 h33 yeah
AT: hOW DID YOU SURVIVE, wITHOUT A HIVE,
AC: barrely
AC: mostly by rraiding nests and killing squeakbeasts
AT: oH, wOW,
AC: yeah, it was wow
AC: verry adventurrous
AC: rreally lonely though
AT: i CAN IMAGINE,
AC: i lost my hearring and a few fingerrs in a rrockslide accident
AC: which only made things harrderr furr me
AT: oH NO, D:{
AC: yeah, ive had a hell of a life
AC: anyways, i went full-out ferral, as you might deduce
AT: iT SOUNDS PRETTY AWFUL,
AT: AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T GET CULLED, i GUESS,
AC: i had a few close encounterrs, though! :pp
AC: but like i said id gone ferral, so i dont rrememberr that much about it
AT: oH, yEAH,
AC: i dont know how many people i killed :((
AC: but im glad i surrvived though
AC: because i found two awesome people
AT: rEALLY,
AT: wHAT WERE THEY LIKE,
AC: well one was a rrunaway custodian forr the motherr grrub
AT: oKAY,
AC: and the othfurr...
AC: was herr charrge
AC: which was rreally weirrd, even to me!
AC: she was his lusus and eventually became mine also
AT: cAN A TROLL BE A LUSUS, }:O
AC: i dont know if youll believe me, but she did a purrrrty good job of it
AT: iT SOUNDS PRETTY AMAZING,
AC: h33 h33 it was!
AC: and naturrally they werre cullbait so they werre on the rrun frrom everryone
AC: just like i was
AT: yEAH,
AC: i dont know why, but i hung arround theirr camps forr a while and eventually starrted interracting with otherr trrolls in a way that wasnt plunging sharrp metal into theirr necks
AC: i surre am glad i did though!
AT: tHAT'S,
AT: gOOD,
AC: h33 h33
AC: yeah, i was rrrreally ferral
AT: hAVING FRIENDS IS ALWAYS NICE, }:)
AC: it surre is
AC: but they arrnt rreally frriends
AC: i dont know
AT: wHAT DO YOU MEAN,
AC: i mean one is my lusus and the otherr is... i dont rreally know
AC: but we eventually picked up a psiioniic slave
AC: oops, i mean psionic
AC: and she became his lusus also
AT: oH, cOOL,
AC: i am a frriend with him in everry sense of the worrd
AC: but herr firrst charrge was always sorrta weirrd
AC: not that we werrent all so
AT: wHAT DO YOU MEAN,
AC: basically hed neverr grrown up with anyone but his trrolllusus, and he didnt even rreally know orr underrstand society
AT: oH,
AT: i GUESS HE WOULDN'T,
AC: yeah, he had no rreal conceptions of the hemospectrrum and still doesnt rreally get quadrrants
AC: so when he found out how otherrs werre trreated he crried a lot
AC: and then decided to change that
AT: i CAN IMAGINE, }:(
AC: i mean he just accepted blood colorrs as just a parrt of who you werre, but not any morre than that
AT: i GUESS YOU WOULD, iF YOU WEREN'T BROUGHT UP KNOWING ABOUT THE HEMOSPECTRUM,
AC: yep
AC: i alrready knew about it, because id had fourr sw33ps in the worrld beforre i went ferral
AC: it didnt rreally matterr to me but i accepted it
AC: not that i liked it, it just didnt rreally have a parrt in my crrazy adventurres in the woods
AC: but i found them he was marrching arround talking
AC: A LOT
AC: about why blood colorrs didnt matterr
AT: wOW,
AC: i know!
AC: he was only like 12 sw33ps orr something
AT: iT WOULD BE COOL, iF THEY DIDN'T MATTER,
AC: h33 h33 it surre would!
AT: i MEAN, iT WOULD BE COOL IF NOBODY GOT CULLED, wITHOUT DESERVING IT,
AT: bUT YOU KNOW,
AC: i know therre arre biologically built-in parrts of the way that blood colorrs worrk they way they do
AC: like how much genetic materrial you will prroduce
AT: yEAH,
AC: among otherrs
AC: and you know how highblood landwellerrs get so
AC: HUGE?
AT: yEAH,
AC: but i think that we rreally make it worrse
AT: mAYBE,
AC: like its a fact that higherrbloodeds arre morre naturrally violent
AT: tRUE,
AC: but they arre encourraged to be so!
AC: i mean think about what morrails do forr each otherr
AT: yOU'RE RIGHT,
AC: you know how seadwellerrs arre cautioned to not have lowblooded morrails
AC: if they go in the arrmy?
AC: because they wouldnt be vicious enough with them
AC: and any naturrally gentle trrolls will be culled furr not having a kismet
AT: tHAT'S TRUE, tOO,
AC: i mean black rromance is a grreat outlet forr people with all that emotion in them, but why does
AC: everryone
AC: have to have one?
AC: so we arre genetically ensurring that the futurre generrations will be angrry and mean
AC: sorrrry if im talking yourr arrticularr sponges off
AT: nO, iT'S FINE,
AC: i tend to do that when i chat :pp
AT: i THINK i'D HAVE TROUBLE GETTING A KISMESIS,
AC: yeah, you arre rreally sw33t, if you dont mind me saying so
AC: i dont mean to be crr33py orr anything
AC: but anyways thats what this rrevolution is all about
AT: iT'S A GOOD IDEA,
AC: thanks!
AC: a lot of people dont think so
AC: i just hope it doesnt get violent
AC: we all do, but i doubt it wont
AC: so yeah
AC: i hope you can join!
AT: i HOPE SO, tOO,
AT: bUT, wHAT IF i'M IN A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, oR WHATEVER YOU SAID,
AC: and maybe it will succ33d and therre wont be all sorrts of useless culling and hate also
AC: oh yeah
AC: maybe you arre in the past if youve neverr hearrd of this beforre
AT: mAYBE,
AC: because even if it fails im surre that people will talk about it
AC: its gotten rreally big!
AT: yEAH, pROBABLY,
AC: although alot of people just want to flip the hemospectrrum upside down
AC: BUT THATS SO STUPID
AC: XOO
AT: i DON'T THINK i'D WANT TO BE SECOND TO THE TOP,
AT: i SUCK AT ORDERING PEOPLE AROUND,
AC: you would be, wouldnt you
AT: yEAH,
AC: youd be like a violetblood
AC: youd be as imporrtant as a seadwellerr!
AT: wELL, yEAH, hAHA,
AT: bUT i DON'T THINK i'D BE GREAT AT DOING THAT,
AC: but all the seabloods would be swimming in scum
AT: yEAH,
AT: aND THAT WOULDN'T BE GOOD, }:(
AC: think about it, therres so few of them
AC: they might even all go extinct if they arre all culled
AT: i HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S A SEADWELLER, aND i WOULDN'T WANT HER TO BE CULLED,
AC: and therre be warrs betw33n psychics
AC: yeah
AC: seadwellerrs can be nice even if they smell like fish
AT: yEAH,
AC: think about the new goverrnment, if the leaderrs die afterr a few sw33ps
AC: therred be constant turrmoil!
AT: nOBODY WOULD THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE,
AC: nope
AC: yourr rright
AC: at least the currrrent rroyalty lives forr thousands of sw33ps
AT: yEAH, i GUESS SO,
AC: but that means that they s33 you and me as expendable
AT: yEAH,
AC: so neitherr situation is furrrry good
AT: iF i'M IN THE PAST, i GUESS THAT MEANS FEFERI NEVER OVERTHREW THE CONDESCE, }:(
AC: whos feferri?
AC: h33 h33, fefurrrry
AT: sHE'S THE HEIRESS,
AC: oh!
AC: i know in ourr time the condense has krrilled a lot of rrivals
AC: i surre hope she wasnt one of them
AC: i just made a fish pun
AT: i HOPE NOT,
AC: oh my gosh
AT: wOW,
AC: this is awful
AC: they say that the condesce can induce fish puns in otherr people
AT: tHAT'S KIND OF SCARY,
AC: yeah it is
AC: and i did it by just talking ABOUT herr
AC: mog mog mog
AT: mOG?
AC: sorrrry that one was a rreal strretch
AC: i meant omg :pp
AT: oH, oKAY, hAHA,
AC: i guess im just concerrned about whetherr orr not the rrevolution will stay togetherr if the leaderrs die
AC: because therre arre factions, like i alrready told you about,
AC: but therres also factions in the factions!
AC: like some say everryone should be hemoanonymous and otherr say not so
AT: oH,
AC: and then some say that mutants that will be killed by theirr mutation should be culled
AC: and some say not so
AC: and some say that mutants should be at the top of a new type of spectrrum!!!
AT: mAYBE, tHEY SHOULD GET TO CHOOSE?
AT: tHE MUTANTS THEMSELVES,
AC: some people say that too
AC: and otherrs say that they should neverr be allowed to be culled even if they want it
AC: its all so stupid but imporrtant!
AT: bUT, wHAT IF THEY'RE IN PAIN,
AT: aND WILL NEVER LIVE A HAPPY LIFE,
AC: well i dont rreally have an opinion on way orr anotherr
AT: oH, oKAY,
AC: i mean i know some limebloods that arre perrfectly fine with the fact that they will go crrazy in a few sw33ps and otherrs that arre frreaked out by that and want to die in battle befurr then
AT: oH,
AC: but the empirre says that they should all be culled furr being too smarrt which is a level morre stupid than anyone else
AC: im just so glad that im not the one in charrge because id prrobably get fed up and want to pop everryones head off but im not supposed to do that
AT: tHAT ISN'T REALLY A NICE IDEA,
AC: no it isnt!
AC: i k33p having those urrges though
AC: i doubt ill everr be completely non-ferral
AT: i GUESS, iT'S KIND OF UNDERSTANDABLE, aFTER ALL YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH,
AC: yeah but that doesnt mean its rright!
AC: so i trry not to hurrt anyone but some bastarrds just tick me off so harrd you wouldnt even know
AT: oH, }:(
AC: h33 h33 dont worrrry about me
AC: im surrrrounded by nice people who have morre shooshpap than they know what to do with
AC: sorrrry that was a kinda dirrty joke :((
AC: i serriously k33p furrgetting that you arre 6
AC: you s33m so much smarrterr than a lot of folk
AC: youve got yourr horrns scrrewed on rright!
AT: iT'S OKAY,
AT: aND, tHANKS, i GUESS,
AC: yourr welcome!
AC: maybe everryone in yourr dimension is smarrterr than the ones in ourrs
AC: so if you s33 alterrnate-me tell them hi!
AT: i WILL, }:)
AC: and if you arre in the past, then be happy that we will do something soon!
AT: yEAH,
AC: in case you think you s33 anyone thats parrt of the rrebellion then weve got a worrking symbol furr now
AT: wHAT,
AC: like a chess grrid thats twelv33 by twelve
AT: oKAY,
AC: i guess ive got to go now because werre speaking at anotherr village
AT: oH, oKAY,
AC: prray that it wont get burrned down like the otherr two
AT: hOPEFULLY, i'LL SEE YOU ROUND,
AC: same herre!
AT: aND HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BE,
