Video - UN: CentaurTesticle

[The image that came on the screen was ... not Equius. Dusky blue skinned, with snarled and snaggled teeth, it came with a pair of massive tusks on the side of the lips, one of which was broken just like his right horn was broken. He was still as muscled as ever and wearing the pair of broken shades on his person, but it might take a moment to figure out who this was.

At least until the instant he opened his mouth and spoke.]

This is explicitly irritating and it would behoove whoever is responsible for this alteration to my biological and morphological form to renew the appropriate, hemospectral glory that is my body forthwith. Any length of time taken to return me to my natural appearance will only complicate the mastication process, which is itself an irritation.

And before any of you inform me? I have already read documentation at the library to verify what I have been transformed into. I am aware that someone out there considers it deeply ironic to re-render my domesticated form as yet another of the thousands of multi-planar variations of "Troll" in existence. I do not require further explication of string theorem to understand that there are many different forms of troll. This obscenity will not assist in the process.

[...yeah... only Equius.]

That said, given the current circumstances, it appears that transformations at present are not associated with corruption. It would behoove residents not to engage in needless strife. Unless that is your thing. In which case, enjoy the novelty of strife with altered forms. I am told it can be quite the experience to be forced to utilize new tactics when engaging in strife. Quite the development of a think-pan's strategic acumen.

.... hmmm... I am getting myself excited again. Excuse me. I will fetch a towel.

[Equius... why are you like this?]

D --> Always happy to promote the use of fistkind on f00ls
D --> And of course to support you under the circumstances
D --> No reason that you should not be happy in your self

[Of course, that? That was Nepeta talking more than anything else. He tried to remember most days. Thankfully it was easier since Luca was a nice fellow.]

[schoolingfish]

thanks.

i think even with my normal monster form, it's hard to not feel nervous about how humans will react because it was dangerous back home, and with this i just expect the reaction to be so much worse

[alternia_strength]

D --> Humans can be this way
D --> And if I was being e%traordinarily gracious and honest
D --> Trolls are not really that much better about assumptions
D --> But I think people here have seen enough to know such things happen
D --> A place like this trench can assist
D --> Occasionally

[schoolingfish]

yeah

i guess i just have to remember that with everything people here have seen, they're more likely to be okay with another weird thing

[alternia_strength]

D --> We are both creatures of this e%istence and our home worlds
D --> It can be t00 difficult at times to fully escape our assumptions of the past
D --> I know this as well as most

D --> Still you are safe in this place I e%pect

[schoolingfish]

you're right. it is safe here. I've met so many people and they've all been so nice, so i don't know why I worry about that stuff.

[alternia_strength]

D --> Well I still find myself concerned about the hemospectrum at odd times
D --> And I have been e%plicitly separated from that system of cultural governance for sweeps now
D --> It really is hard to kick old habits
D --> Even if it beh00ves us to do that

D --> So I would not berate myself over sometimes falling into old habits t00 much

[schoolingfish]

right. thanks! i guess i just have to remember that this is normal 'coming from another world' stuff and a lot of us are probably dealing with something similar.

[alternia_strength]

D --> E%actly
D --> Give it time and it will become normal
D --> Or as normal as is actually possible in this place
