[ 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! ]

That is because we are people. [corrects her, then freezes as she asks about flavors. Oh no! Is this an emergency? It sounds like an emergency!]

Vanilla? [That's the white flavor, right?]

[ Little face, that's a boring choice. But orders it anyway and a strawberry one for herself. ]

So you died? That sounds sucky. You don't even have the cool pjs to show for it.

Yes, the highblood executed me. [hand raises to his throat unconsciously, claws resting there briefly] But I no longer had my dream form to retreat to. So now I am just dead. It really hasn't been too bad, just a little lonely.

[He misses Nepeta a lot. And Aradia, who doesn't seem to want to have much to do with him. And even Gamzee - for all the dude murdered him, he was one of Equius's only friends before the game.]

Which highblood? There's kinda a couple.

[ Waitress comes back with their milkshakes, unceremoniously take a lip sip of her own. ]

Was it Meenah? The girl fishtroll one. She choked me out once, she's kinda murder happy.

[ Pushes the vanilla milkshake closer to Equius. ]

Here dude, you just drink outta the straw. Go nuts.

No, Gamzee Makara. [pauses, then takes the milkshake gingerly, peering at it - it surely does look like thick milk all right. Exciting!]

He did choke me to death, though, with my own bowstring. [Okay, just in case, is not going to hold onto the glass at all, just drink from the straw and-

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, god.

You'll just excuse him while he blisses out, won't you, and makes the most obscene happy groan and then accident cracks the whole counter where he's holding on to it.]

[ Okay, no time to react to how fucked up it is that you got choked out by a dude who's kinda been a joke to Roxy the whole time she's been here because- OH MY GOD.

Oh my god, he moaned and broke the table, that little shit. Well, not little exactly.

Scoots back away from Equius and the now crumbling counter, holding her milkshake protectively close to her chest. ]

Uh, so it's good, right?

[You are witnessing a troll who has never allowed himself refined sugar, as he's exposed to his favorite beverage in a sweetened form - it's milk, so it must be healthy, right? SO GOOD.]

Yes. This is- oh my gosh, it's the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. [He opens his eyes then and fixes her with a look of fervent gratitude over the tops of his shades - though doubtless it just looks creepy because of the luminous white ghost eyes.]

Thank you so much.
