D --> I am a bit confused as to the purpose of this world
D --> Or even where e%actly it is located
D --> I presume this is another dream bubble, but it seems to be overrun by humans
D --> None of whom appear to be the humans I am semi-familiar with
D --> And I must admit, it angers me to be called fictional
D --> Being dead does not alter the state of one’s realness
D --> Also, what is this sch001feeding the humans are speaking of
D --> I am no wiggler, I do not need to be sch001fed
D --> I am, in fact considerably older than I 100k
D --> Possibly
D --> I would appreciate an e%planation, as I have been forbidden to smash any more things

D --> Lalonde is a familiar name

D --> She appeared to be very smug and her color confused me for some time

D --> I am not helpless
D --> I simply have never been in this locale
D --> I will find you, gosh, hold your horses

[And Equius will set out! Darn it, he can find one human female! Who ... oh, wait, he has no idea what she looks like. Well, he'll figure it out! Somehow.]

[ Yeah, Roxy is halfway to the ice creamery before she realizes she isn't sure what Equius looks like either. Well, he's a troll, and thanks to Rosie's popularity, it's pretty unlikely there are any unknown trolls out there. So she'll just keep an eye out. It's sorta like a blind date!

When Roxy slaps eyes on Equius, she changes her mind entirely about the whole dte thing. Why does he look.. wet. What the heck, this dude. Nearing the troll, slows considerably, debating if she really wants to have a milkshake with a troll as big as a drone.

Low whistle as she approaches him. ]

uh, are you supposed to be Mister Z? Why are you so ginormous and scary?

[ She has her strife deck just in case he changed his mind about the whole fighting thing. Apprehensive, not gonna come closer than a few feet. ]

[Indeed, Equius is sort of hulking for a 6 and some sweep troll - it's a little scary to think how big he might have gotten, allowed to reach his full adult size. The broken horn, teeth, and dark glasses probably don't help make him any less intimidating, nor the very serious expression on his face when he turns at her whistle. He's been systematically looking up and down the street, and approaching random humans, which has been frustrating, to say the least.]

You are Lalonde? Yes, I can see the resemblance. [He cocks his head to one side thoughtfully, then pulls a white cloth from his sylladex and mops his brow, before putting it away again, a little self-conscious about his size.]

I told you, I believe. I am very STRONG. [He doesn't raise his voice on the last word, but it is emphasized, the capital letters clearly audible in the way he says it.]

Roxy. [ Helpful correction- been here with her ecto relations long enough to know the dual last names can get confusing. Hand on her hip whe she adds another pointer for this behemouth's collection of knowlege- ]

So? I'm strong too and you don't see me hulking out.

[ Waves that aside and presses on aside, motioning for Equius to follow her. ]

Milkshake place is around here. You go out with human girls you never me before a lot? That's kinda shady, dude.

[ Roxy, what does that say about you?? ]

I have never met any human girls before! [protests, looking around as though he expects someone to jump out any any moment and berate him for meeting with her, though he does follow her obediently enough] Or human boys! Not really. How am I supposed to acquaint myself with any humans if I don't meet them properly? I fail to see how this is in any way subversive.

[ Impressive look over her shoulder that this guys can equate shady with subversive. Might be some teaching him yet. ]

Why are you into "acquainting" with us? You just said trolls were the superior race, I'm not agreein or anythin, but it seems weird to say we suck as a race and then agree to meet one of them for smoothies.

I am uncertain of your status. [admits, then adds] But being inferior to trolls does not make a species inferior in general. I have been very impressed with certain feats I saw our humans engage in.

[adds, a little dejectedly (not that it's easy to tell he's dejected, since his expression doesn't change greatly, and with his glasses it's hard to tell he's looking at the ground)] Besides, I am not well liked by other trolls.

What kinda feats? We are pretty baller.

[ Well, that's kinda a bummer, not being well-liked. Not really something Roxy can identify with, being the only human girl before, and now a popular member of the homecoming court in high school. Oh yes Equius, you missed Homecoming. Karkat was Homecoming Queen. No, I'm not kidding.

Offhandedly, she'd pat you on the shoulder but he's way too tall. ]

Screw those guys, other trolls are assholes. [ Skeptical look. ] You're not an asshole too, right?

[Equius would not be at all surprised to hear that about Karkat.]

I have been told I can be very unpleasant, and am overly obsessed with the hemocaste system. [solemnly] Though I have questioned some of my beliefs since my death.

Not really a point getting pumped about the blood junk here, right? I mean, there's like a handful of you dudes left, seems like a shitty thing to be basing stuff on when you're not exactly inundated with buds.

[ Shrug. Reaching the door to Robbin Baskins, pushes it open with a shoulder and bounds inside. ]

Anyway, I think the trolls here are pretty decent. They've only made me mad and cry liiiiike once, and they were pretty quick to apologize. So maybe they're not all lunatic despots.

[ Hops up to a seat at the counter, pats the seat next to her. ]

[Looking around, and then will take a seat next to her. He moves in an oddly careful manner - he hasn't had so much of a problem with constantly breaking things now he's been dead for awhile, but old habits are hard to break.] Well, no, only the Empress would be the despot, would couldn't all hold absolute power.

... but didn't you just say that trolls were all, ah, jerks?

[ Watching with a grin, as if waiting for him to bust something with those massive hands. Kinda fun to speculate what's gonna snap first- she's betting a spoon, easy. ]

I said "other" not "all"! Like, the trolls where I'm from were bad news. But the ones here aren't. They're just like people, there are good ones and shittier ones.

[ Beckons a server over- sadly this isn't a day her sweet lovely Rose petal is working. ]

Quick, you like vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?

[ This question is a matter of life and death, Equius! Answer fast! ]
