I have no idea what's going on. This all seems like rubbish, and I need to go home... but I can't seem to get back on my own. There's something preventing me from.. ah. Leaving.

[There is a pause as he glances about at the people coming and going along the street outside the hospital. None of them seem to be paying him any mind. Since he normally can't go out without being recognised, he assumes he is in a Muggle city.]

The people I spoke to told me I've been enrolled in public school, and that I'll be assigned a roommate in a flat somewhere. [He makes an exasperated sort of sound.] I'm sorry, I don't have time for any of this.

No that was a statement of fact.

[badnewsboy]

Then, my dear lady, tell me why one is not referred to as "Human Harry Potter"?

[maiditoutalive]

Who says one isn't? We agreed to start leaving off "human" modifiers out of benevolent generosity, and also because it sounded really stupid. But if we don't clarify our versions of things then you think we're talking about yours.

[badnewsboy]

And level of comparison? We will need to wait until this Troll Harry Potter is upon us before proper judgement can be made.

[maiditoutalive]

Ok that's not going to happen so I take it back, Troll Harry Potter is actually a huge drag.

[badnewsboy]

I may not allow you to take it back!

[maiditoutalive]

I can take back whatever I say for the sake of a joke and the cultural imperative to assert that we're always better even when we're not that's pretty much a running gag at this point, and you can't stop me.

[badnewsboy]

Are you saying that I should challenge your statements, confident they may be, of superiority when it comes to our fictional achievements? I would counter that many things are a running gag, despite which planet they claim their origin.

[maiditoutalive]

You probably wouldn't ask that if you'd actually read any troll fiction.

[badnewsboy]

Where is this troll fiction and where may I read of it?

[maiditoutalive]

Karkat might have some! I can get it for you if you want. If not I'll see what I can dig up, but I haven't found anything from our home here yet. Probably because it's supposed to be fictional.

[badnewsboy]

I will not deny good a good piece of fiction. What you collect I will read.

Yet we are also supposed to be fictional. But if there were the appearance of a miraculous and wild Troll Harry Potter, we must find a way to differentiate between the two. Troll and Human Potter.

[maiditoutalive]

...Uh, Loki. Do you find it difficult to differentiate between trolls and humans?

[badnewsboy]

There are horns, correct?

[maiditoutalive]

Yes. Among other things.
