          ♋ ｢ Oh! Oh! Hello! Sir! Yes, sir! ｣

          a light voice called; arm waving           despite the hoard nearby having           turned their heads towards the           shouting child. he had no idea           he was attracting them - he only           had a question for the man.

          ♋ ｢ I have a few queries for you, sir! Do you mind if I entreat you to them? Or is now a not so opportune time? ｣

            ♋ ｢ Hmph. This venue is delightfully exotic. I wonder what planet this is... It assuredly is far more... Impassioned than Beforus. ｣

            in a good way - it may just be a             chance to reveal that his ‘ poor             mutation ‘ was nothing more than             a coloration - that’s that! a coloration!!             maybe then the beforan-coddling             could end - mutated trolls were             the same as any other troll,             blood color aside!! hmph.

            survive - if meenah, or cronus,             or any highblood saw him...             they’d laugh. ( hell, even the low-             bloods would!! ) kankri was just             barely surviving. his tactic to             deal with the hoards? bash them             over the head until they collapse             and run, hide, and shake for twenty             minutes. so much for independent.

             ♋ ｢ It would seem to be occurring that I have somehow transported myself upon a surrogate planet... How idiosyncratic. But I must divagate. If I am to subsist here, I must find far more apparatuses than what this backpack has provided me as a starter. ｣

            of course... easier said than done!!             sitting on the floor, he recounted his             items - if only he could remember             his fetch modus, or if he had it. well,             the backpack was a good enough             fetch modus for now. even if it was             technically manual!! back to his count:

                        1x tablet ( no wi-fi or charger )                         1x journal ( apparently of the BARBIE brand )                         1x tooth floss

            dental hygiene was important, and             despite the garishness of the journal,             it could work as a good notation             device. but the tablet... could he even             operate it without power or internet?             if so; he might be able to contact             mituna or latula. anyone. even meenah             would be a good contact right now.

            ♋ ｢ It is quite... Lonely, here... ｣

            holding up the blunt sickle, he brandished             it high at the sound of soft footsteps.

            ♋ ｢ Who is there!? I have a weapon! I know how to defend myself! ｣
