[ After having a lovely conversation with Jade on the phone (http://frogst.livejournal.com/4795.html?thread=246203#t246203), John shuffled out the room to see what exactly the hell was going on here. The atmosphere reminded him of his and Dad's old house before it had been demolished, but it seemed... older. Antique. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, and--

Oh hey, a person. Who's house he might be unintentionally invading. Oops. ]

Uh, hi!

[He stops and stares at John. Okay, he was apparently in someone else's house. He was probably wearing that kid's clothes, too. Whoops.]

Thorry for invading your houthe, I wath jutht leaving.

Um... I'm pretty sure you just said it was my house, it's really not!

I thought it was yours.

What? No, I've never been here before.

Oh.

Then who's house is it?

Well it'th obviouthly not yourth or mine.

[Although, those pictures on the walls make it seem otherwise.]

We thould probably find out who liveth here.

Sure! I hope we won't be intruding, though.

[ A pause; then he holds out his hand. Dad always said a good firm handshake made for a nice manly greeting. ]

I'm John.

I'm thure if we eckthplain everything, it'll be fine.

[He hesitantly takes John's hand and shakes it quick.]

Tholluckth.

[ Aw yeah, manly handshakes. ]

So...llux, right?

[ A deafening pause. ]

Cool name. So where should we start?

Yeah, and thankth. It'th not really common for humanth, or trollth for that matter. But all trollth have pretty unique nameth, I don't think I've ever met two with the thame name.

[He rubs the back of his head.]

You probably don't know what a troll ith, huh? I'll thtop talking about it, you'll probably think I'm inthane if I tried to eckthplain anyway.

[He looks around the house.]

I guess we thould probably jutht thtart from here, look through doorth and other roomth until we find thomeone.

Wait! Did you just say troll? I thought you said "trough" at first, but you definitely said the word troll.

[ All of the staring. ALL OF IT. ]

How do you know about the trolls? Are we even talking about the same trolls here? Because I don't mean the big, ugly club wielding ones in the dungeon.

[He raises an eyebrow]

How do you know about trollth?

[ A toothy grin. ]

It's a sekret.

You first!

I am a troll. I wath turned into a human upon coming to thith plathe. My name ith Tholluckth Captor and I am a mad hacker. My betht friend ith Karkat Vantath and he'th our "leader" and kind of an athhole. There are 12 of uth total but I don't want to name them all off.

[ I am a TROLL...

My name is... I am a MAD HACKER........... ]

[ My best friend is KARKAT VANTAS......


leader.............








]

OH MY GOD, you're the best hacker Terezi told me about!!

And you know Karkat!!!!

And I know about you!!!!!!!! Kind of.

Oh gosh, this is kind of sudden, I am almost speechless.

You mutht be one of the humanth my group like to talk to then, huh?

Edited 2011-09-14 08:40 am (UTC)

Yes, I am one of those humans. And this meeting would be even more awesome if you were in your normal form, because now that I know who you are, having pink flesh seems a bit off.

Do you know what trollth look like?

Nope. But I am sure you all look very trollish and alien-like.

I would also imagine big horns like monster Howie Mandel, because he is the closest thing to a troll I know.

Our hornth uthually aren't that big until we get older. Ath a troll, I look how I do now but with grey thkin, yellow blood, 4 hornth, and one red eye and one blue eye. I altho have pretty big and annoying fangth that give me an even worthe lithp then I already have.

Oh man, that sounds pretty cool. I am sorry about the lisp though, but I can still pretty much understand all of your words!

Also, you said you're Karkat's best friend? I thought that was Gamzee.

Edited 2011-09-14 09:03 am (UTC)

KK ith Gamthee'th betht friend, thure. But I'm KK'th betht friend and he'th mine. You get that, right?

Hehe, yeah, I understand.

And I can't say I am qualified to be KK's best friend yet, but I am his buddy! This must mean we are fellow buddies from another buddy.
