shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

wut.

m8 i'm more of an expert than any1 else here. what r u. a tree????

 

Yeah, that's... basically what I just said? With additional murderous background info, but uh. Looks like we might just be dealing with a semantic issue here.

 

"I had the impression grubs would eat just about anything that wouldn't eat them," Ford says, "but if she won't eat cooked food there are other things we can try. Irradiation at low levels will sterilise raw foods fairly harmlessly. I just don't have it already set up and it's kind of a pain in the ass."

 

[don't flutter don't flutter there are still organics hiding behind you. Whisper badly hides his smile with one hand.]

 

How are you and the rest of your trine? [Hey he likes them, they're nice, Eclipse is so enthusiastic about plants!]

A cybertronian, or giant robot. And I have a number of organic modifications since I spent three million years being stuck on an organic planet. You could say that I am a xenobiologist.

 

Valiska nods. "We were able to give the animals and sapient mammals in the household treatments to build up their immune systems, but we don't know how to do that safely even with adult trolls and we have been very relieved so far that neither you three nor Sunshine have ever got sick."

 

wow who cares u haven't been educated ur entire life on the subject of grubs so! fuck off!!!!

 

Ford sighs. "It's frustrating, both to Merrick and to Sev, that so much of the Alternian medical information we have access to is written from the perspective of a society that only puts resources into saving lives when those lives are sure to be, or rather have already been, productive enough to offset the costs."

 

[He puts up both hands, wings coming down to make him appear smaller which is probably only marginally helpful considering size differences in the chat] I meant no offense?

 

the fuck u didn't!

 

We're fine! Eclipse is patching Venture up, I wanted a nap after we all washed off. We're all going for our post-aways together and we know decontam fairly well anyway, so it's not like we can't wait a little. [He shrugs.] Are you settling in okay?

 

YEAH LIKE I THINK SO? I'M NOT A SCIENTIST SO I DUNNO LIKE WHY BUT THERE'S LIKE... SOMETHINGA BOUT GERMS ALSO BEING LIVING THINGIES SO THEY'RE BASICALLY ALSO ALIENS? OR SOMETHING?

I MEAN THAT'S LIKE FAIR! SORRY I'M BEING ALL HISSY AND SHIT, THE WHOLE WORRYING IS SUUUUUPER BAD FOR MY TEMPER.

I MEAN MAYBE BUT LIKE GENERALLY THE FIRST THINGS YOU'LL EAT ARE LIKE WHATEVER THE JADES GIVE GRUBS AND OTHER GRUBS AND THEN WHEN YOU GET A LUSUS IT'S BASICALLY GONNA BE FRESH RAW KILLS UNTIL YOU'VE GOT YOUR HIVE SET UP AND LIKE START ORDERING GROCERIES OR HUNTING OR SHIT LIKE THAT. SO I DUNNO IF GRUBS ARE FUSSY ABOUT COOKED STUFF? AND MAYBE IT'S NOT A GRUBS THING SHRIMP MIGHT JUST BE FUSSY ABOUT FOOD I DUNNO. I DUNNO!!!

 

[Oh no. Ohhhh no oh no. Whisper's wings cant downwards, but he intentionally brightens his text to a more attention-grabbing shade of teal.] He really didn't, I assure you! Updraft isn't-- he's got a whole bunch of research but he hasn't had anyone to share it with in so long, that's all! Of course you're the expert in your own field, none of us have studied trolls! You don't even exist in our universe, I don't think!!! Please don't be mad, he's only trying to help!

 

WELL, GOOD! EXCUSE THE HELL OUT OF ME FOR BEING A *LITTLE* WARY WHEN YOU'RE JOKING ABOUT DOUBLE MURDER LIKE IT'S A GODDAMN TEA PARTY

CLEARLY SHE DID, JUST NOT WITH ONE OF EARTH'S DISEASES. I CAUGHT THE FLU ONCE, BUT NONE OF THE OTHER TROLLS HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF EXPERIENCING THE MAGIC OF HUMAN ILLNESS. WHICH I GUESS IS ABOUT FUCKALL HELPFUL, SINCE OTHER ANIMALS *DO* EXIST AND THEY MIGHT REALLY ENJOY RUBBING THEIR GERMS ALL OVER SOME TASTY-LOOKING ALIENS

 

i'm handling it just fine!

 

... considering I don't know you, why would I intentionally try to offend you? [Ok admittedly just jumping in might have been rude but his verbal filter is not so great these days and even less so when it's on topics even adjacent to sparklings. His coding is such a mess]

Yeah it us going well so far. Having so many people around is somewhat exhausting but very enjoyable, I am looking forward to getting used to it again.

 

wut the fuck. thats wild.

i never learned nothing about other planets. it wasn't 'necessary' since i'd never leave the caverns, hahaha.

 

What he said, really. Plus some additional coding damage. [Hopefully not processor damage. Hopefully. At least the medical scans had come away clean?]

 

That's terrible. I mean you not being allowed to leave and learn other stuff, not necessarily not learning about other planets [hey not everyone's into it. You can chase him across several solar systems by waving astrophysics dataslabs at him]

 

whatever
