[09:17] OO: You wished to speak with me about training with the Vantas boy, I assume?

[09:17] CT: D --> A pleasure, as always Scratch

[09:17] CT: D --> And yes, I would like you to take us to an Alternate world

[09:17] CT: D --> For some combat training

[09:19] OO: My, you seem pleasingly eager for such a send off. Perhaps after you have dealt with your current situation I will consider it.

[09:20] CT: D --> My situation shall be dealt with in appro%imately 20 minutes

[09:20] CT: D --> Though, you already know that

[09:22] OO: My boy, you tread dangerously close to spoiler territory.

[09:22] OO: Where would be the fun in giving you all the answers?

[09:23] OO: Haa haa.

[09:23] OO: Hee hee.

[09:23] OO: Hoo hoo.

[09:18] CT: D --> Vantas, I have heard from Pyrope that you have been contacted by someone

[09:18] CT: D --> Someone with the same initials as one of our group, and the same hemotyping as them as well

[09:19] CT: D --> Well, in all cases but one, that is

[09:20] CG: WHY IS IT THAT SOME PRIVATE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH TEREZI MANAGES TO GET TO LITERALLY ANYBODY WHO WASN'T INVOLVED?

[09:20] CT: D --> Because I asked her, and she told me

[09:22] CG: WHY WOULD WHETHER OR NOT I HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME IDIOT WHO CLEARLY FEASTED ON THEIR OWN THINK PANS A LONG TIME AGO TONIGHT MATTER TO YOU?

[09:23] CT: D --> Because I have been talking to many of them, and am trying to find information on their group

[09:25] CG: ALL I CAN TELL,YOU IS THAT THEY CLAIM TO KNOW ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT US AND MAKE,UP RANDOM FACTS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY NOTHNG RESEMBLING THE TRUTH IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROVE THEIR OBVIOUSLY FAKE OMNISCIENCE.

[09:26] CT: D --> And who might they be

[09:26] CT: D --> Did you get any names, by any chance

[09:26] CT: D --> Or even their trolltags

[09:27] CG: WHAT DO YOU THINK? THEY WERE HAVING TOO MUHC FUN TRYING TO FUCK WITH ME TO ACTUALLY GIVE A NAME AND I HONESTLY DON'T GIVE A SINGLE HOOFBEAST FUCK ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHO GAVE MY TROLLHANDLE TO THEM.

[09:28] CG: AS FOR THE TROLLTAGS, THEY WERE CONDESCENDINGCORONATION AND CORRECTIVEGRIEFER.

[09:29] CT: D --> Meenah Pei%es

[09:29] CT: D --> And Kankri Vantas, I assume

[09:29] CT: D --> Well, the Vantas I assume at least

[09:30] CT: D --> That is the only name that fits

[09:31] CG: OH YES, YOU HAVE DISCOVERED THE TRUTH, EQUIUS. THE ONLY VANTAS IN EXISTENCE IS SOME HALF WITTED DUNDERFUCK WHO THINKS THAT APOLOGIZING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S HARASSMENT IS SOME KIND OF GAME. MY LAST NAME IS JUST AN ALIAS, OBVIOUSLY.

[09:32] CT: D --> Actually, they all have the same name, same trolltag initials, and same hemotyping as one of our friends

[09:32] CG: AND THE SAME LOGIC ALSO APPLIES TO FEFERI, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS THE EMPRESS OF ALTERNIA AND OPENLY PUBLICIZES THAT FACT, WHICH CLEARLY PROVES THWT SHE WOULDN'T HIDE HER IDENTITY.

[09:32] CT: D --> E%cept Kankri, whose only difference is he types in red, instead of grey

[09:34] CG: YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO REMIND ME ABOUT THAT PART. THE COLOR WAS UNNATURAL AND HIDEOUS TO READ. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD CHOOSE TO TYPE IN A COLOR LIKE THAT, UNLESS HE WANTED TO BURN THE GANDERBULBS OUT OF ANYBODY HE WANTED TO APOLOGIZE TO.

[09:35] CT: D --> Well, considering everyone else in the group hemotypes, I assume he does too

[09:36] CT: D --> Maybe he has red b100d like that

[09:39] CG: I HIGHLY DOUBT IT, EQUIUS. IF ANYBODY HAD THAT COLOR OF BLOOD, IT WOULD BE A MUTATION AND AN ABOMINATION AND ON TOP OF THAT, THEY'D HAVE GOTTEN CULLED WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF SWEEPS OF THEIR EXISTENCE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY WERE IDIOTIC ENOUGH TO HEMOTYPE.

[09:40] CT: D --> I would assume so, but from what I have heard, they lived on a completely different planet

[09:41] CT: D --> Apparently, it was called beforus, and was destroyed somehow

[09:41] CT: D --> There is quite a large chance they are lying, I understand that

[09:41] CT: D --> But, if they are not, this is e%tremely interesting

[09:43] CG: OH YES, HOW INTERESTING. A MASSIVE HOARDE OF IDIOTS MANAGED TO GET A HOLD OF OUR TROLL HANDLES AND ARE TRYING TO FUCK WITH US IN SOME ATTEMPT TO EITHER DESTROY OUR NERVES OR JUST GET SOME FORM OF SICK AMUSEMENT FROM THEIR BOREDOM. IT'S PROBABLY BOTH.

[09:45] CT: D --> Possibly, yes

[09:45] CT: D --> But a few of them are interesting to talk to

[09:47] CG: YOU'RE OVERESTIMATING THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OF TALKING TO COMPLETE MORONS WHO CAN'T EVEN THINK UP A STORY THAT IS ACTUALLY CONVINCING.

[09:48] CT: D --> Hence why I only talk to Kankri to agravate him

[09:50] CG: I THINK THE MOST ENTERTAINING ASPECT OF ALL OF THIS IS THE FACT THAT YOU ARE BUYING ALL OF THESE OBVIOUS LIES SO EASILY AND BARELY CONSIDERING THE MORE LOGICAL EXPLANATION THAT ONCE AGAIN, THEY WERE A GROUP OF IDIOTS WHO STUMBLED ONTO OUR TROLLHANDLES AND ARE PROCEEDING TO FUCK WITH US.

[09:53] CG: WHY DON'T WE EVEN USE THIS "KANKRI" AS AN EXAMPLE? EVEN IF HE DID HAVE BRIGHT RED BLOOD AND EVEN IF HE MANAGED TO ESCAPE BEING CULLED FOR IT, WHY WOULD HE CHOOSE TO MAKE SUCH A MASSIVE RISK AND FLAUNT THE COLOR WHEN DOING SO WOULD GET HIM DISCOVERED AND CULLED AS SOON AS THEY COULD FIND HIM?

[09:53] CT: D --> Oh, you are wrong to think I believe them 100%

[09:53] CT: D --> But they do know things that a normal troll would not know

[09:53] CT: D --> Anyway, I have all the information I required

[09:54] CT: D --> Thank you, and be ready in three days

[09:54] CT: D --> Goodbye

[01:51] -- courserTechnician [CT] began trolling constitutionsGrief [CG] at 13:51 --

[01:52] CT: D --> Vantas

[01:52] CT: D --> I have a proposition for you

[01:52] CT: D --> One that I am sure neither of us will enjoy

[01:52] CT: D --> But one that I feel is neccesary anyway

[01:53] CG: WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT FROM ME? COULD YOU POSSIBLY NEED ANY MORE EVIDENCE THAT I'M PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DOING MY JOB EVEN THOUGH THINGS ARE SUPPOSEDLY PEACEFUL NOW?

[01:54] CT: D --> E%cept you are not capable of doing your job

[01:54] CT: D --> You are skilled

[01:54] CT: D --> I will give you that

[01:58] CG: WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO DO MY JOB? THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, I DID KILL QUITE A FEW TROLLS WHO WERE PROBABLY TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR LUSII, JUST LIKE YOU AND GAMZEE TOLD ME TO.

[01:59] CG: IS THIS ABOUT THE ONE TROLL WHO I HAPPENED TO SHOW MERCY TO? BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO CULL HIM IF HE COULDN'T EVEN FIGHT BACK.

[01:59] CT: D --> No, it is not about that

[01:59] CT: D --> That was an... efficient way of dealing with him

[01:59] CT: D --> But, what will you do if someone STRONGER comes after the Highb100d

[02:00] CT: D --> I was there to fight Veridi this time

[02:00] CT: D --> I doubt there will be any more on his scale

[02:00] CT: D --> But there are still trolls with mutations

[02:00] CT: D --> What say a troll with a powerful mutation comes to take down the Highb100d

[02:01] CT: D --> I can not always be there to defend him

[02:01] CT: D --> And when I cannot be there, I need to know my Moirail is being guarded by someone I can trust

[02:01] CG: REALLY EQUIUS? I WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED THAT. IT ISN'T AS IF MOST OF OUR FRIENDS HAVE MUTATIONS AND HAVE A GOOD IDEA ABOUT HOW THEY WORK AND HOW TO USE THEM.

[02:03] CG: AND I'M SURE IF FOR SOME REASON I FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO DEFEND GAMZEEL, HE WOULD BE PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF FINISHING OFF WHATEVER I MANAGED TO DO TO THE TROLL ATTACKING HIM.

[02:05] CG: *GAMZEE

[02:05] CT: D --> You are his High Thresecutioner, that is a terrible mindset

[02:07] CG: WHAT KIND OF MINDSET AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE? I FIGURED A COMPLETE LACK OF FAITH IN GAMZEE'S ABILITY TO HOLD HIS GROUND EVEN AFTER I CAN'T FIGHT FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER WOULD BE SEEN AS TREASON.

[02:08] CT: D --> You are supposed to have the mindset that no one will get past you to get to him

[02:12] CG: THAT IS AN EXTREMELY REASONABLE EXPECTATION TO HAVE FOR MYSELF. THANK YOU EQUIUS FOR LETTING ME SEE THE LIGHT. OBVIOUSLY, I'M UNABLE TO EVER MAKE A SINGLE MISTAKE IN COMBAT AND AVOID ANY INJURIES THAT MIGHT PREVENT ME FROM FIGHTING FOR MUCH LONGER NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT BECOMES AND ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A RESULT OF NEGATIVITY AND SELF-LOATHING.

[02:13] CG: THANK YOU FOR THIS NEWFOUND OPTIMISM, SINCE IT'S CLEARLY HELPFUL AND THE RECKLESSNESS THAT COMES WITH IT WON'T GET ME KILLED AT ALL.

[02:14] CT: D --> You wanted the benifits, the title, but none of the responsibilities that come with your job

[02:14] CT: D --> You claim you wanted to earn it properly

[02:14] CT: D --> But when push comes to shove, you hide behind that fucking sarcasm you e%ude like to%ic waste from every pore on your body

[02:15] CT: D --> It seems I was wrong about you Vantas

[02:15] CT: D --> If you ever feel like you want to stop being such a coward, you are welcome to contact me again

[02:15] CT: D --> Now, if you will e%cuse me, I have things to do

[02:16] -- constitutionsGrief [CG] began trolling courserTechnician [CT] at 14:16 --

[02:16] CG: MY POINT IS THAT I CAN'T EXPECT MYSELF TO BE INVINCIBLE, EQUIUS. MOST OF WHAT I LEARNED ON MY OWN SAID THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO NE CAUTIOUS UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY *WANT* TO GET RUN THROUGH WITH SOMETHING.

[02:16] CG: BECAUSE YES, THAT WOULD DO YOUR MOIRAIL A LOT OF GOOD IF I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DEFENDING HIM.

[02:17] CT: D --> 100k, do you want training or not'

[02:17] CT: D --> I can take you into real life battle situations, and I shall promise to keep you alive

[02:18] CG: I THOUGHT PRACTICING IN MY RSPITE BLOCK AND MAKING A COMPLETE IDIOT OUT OF MYSELF COUNTED AS TRAINING, BECAUSE WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING?

[02:18] CT: D --> Not training in your respite block and making an idiot of yourself

[02:19] CT: D --> You could, perhaps, get real combat e%perience

[02:19] CG: AND HOW WOULD YOU BE DOING THAT ANYWAY? THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, ALTERNIA DIDN'T NORMALLY HAVE WARS.

[02:19] CT: D --> Not this Alternia

[02:21] CG: OH, SO THERE IS SOME OTHER PLANET OUT THERE NAMED ALTERNIA THAT WE WOULD NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO VISIT, BUT RETURN FROM IN TIME TO DO THE DUTIES YOU ARE SO CONVINCED I CAN'T DO?

[02:22] CT: D --> I will e%plain if you agree to come to train with me

[02:22] CT: D --> Otherwise, it is not something you need to know

[02:24] CG: IF I AGREE TO TRAIN WITH YOU, WILL YOU AT LEAST HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE ARMOR THAT'S MORE EFFICIENT THAN WHAT I USED WHILE WE WERE FIGHTING THE REBELS?

[02:25] CT: D --> I can provide you with the highest quality armor possible

[02:26] CT: D --> Same with weaponry

[02:28] CG: IT JUST HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT I DON'T NEED TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST OR WORRY ABOUT, SINCE I HIGHLY DOUBT HOWEVER MUCH YOUR "HIGHEST QUALITY ARMOR" WEIGHS WOULD NOT BE VERY CONVENIENT FOR SOMEBODY WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO MOVE QUICKLY. THEN AGAIN, THAT IDN'T SOMETHING I'D EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND SINCE YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER USED A SICKLE IN YOUR EXISTENCE.

[02:30] CT: D --> I have trained with many weapons, sicke inc100ded, but they just hinder me in the end

[02:30] CT: D --> And the metal I use is e%ceptionally light, STRONG and fle%ible

[02:30] CT: D --> Something I designed myself

[02:32] CG: I'M GLAD TO KNOW YOU AT LEAST HAVE SOME SENSE ABOUT CAUTION IN BATTLE, AND IF ME TRAINING IS ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT GAMZEE'S SAFETY, THEN FINE, I'LL AGREE TO IT.

[02:33] CG: BUT I'LL JUST TELL YOU THAT I DID SEE GAMZEE FIGHTING AND IF SOMETHING ACTUALLY WENT WRONG WHILE I WAS TRYING TO DEFEND HIM, I DO TRUST HIM TO AT LEAST GET HIS UNINTELLIGENT ASS OUT OF THERE.

[02:34] CT: D --> He can handle himself, but it will help ease my mind to know my Moirail is in capable hands

[02:34] CT: D --> Especially after this rebellion

[02:36] CG: WHAT DO YOU MEAN? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE, BECAUSE I THOUGHT GAMZEE WAS ONE OF THE MOST COMPETENT FIGHTERS DURING THAT REBELLION.

[02:37] CT: D --> I am sure he will not mind you knowing

[02:37] CT: D --> He is currently paraplegic

[02:39] CG: WHAT? HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN? WHO THE HELL DECIDED TO DO WHATEVER IN THE SANCTITY OF BULGE TAINTING FUCK TO GAMZEE TO CAUSE HIM TO BE UNABLE TO EVEN *WALK*?

[02:40] CT: D --> He protected you from the gravity f100ctuations, which put immense pressure on his spinal co100mn, rupturing his spinal cord

[02:41] CT: D --> If it wasn't for him, you would certainly be dead

[02:44] CG: AND WHY WAS HE DOING THAT IF IT WAS GOING TO TURN HIM INTO SOME CRIPPLE WHO MIGHT BE DEFENSELESS NOW? I HONESTLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE'D BE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

[02:45] CG: BESIDES WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHILE WE'RE OFF TRAINING WHEREVER AND GAMZEE IS LEFT ALONE POSSIBLY TO SOME OTHER ASSASSIN WHO HE'D NOW BE DEFENSELESS AGAINST?

[02:45] CT: D --> Oh don't worry, in his perspective the training will be over in the blink of an eye

[02:47] CG: SO YOU'RE GOING TO FORCE HIM TO PASS OUT AND HIDE HIM SOMEWHERE WHERE HOPEFULLY NOBODY IS GOING TO FIND HIM?

[02:48] CT: D --> What, no

[02:48] CT: D --> That is ridic001ous

[02:50] CG: THEN HOW IS THE TRAINING GOING TO BE OVER IN "THE BLINK OF AN EYE" FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE? DO YIU SOMEHOW EXPECT ME TO STOP TIME AND TRAIN THEN, BECAUSE WHOEVER CONVINCED YOU THAT I HIAD THAT POWER IS WRONG.

[02:51] CT: D --> No, we shall be leaving this timeline

[02:51] CT: D --> And returning at the e%act point of departure

[02:55] CG: SO INSTEAD OF STOPPING TIME, WE ARE TRAVELING TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TIMELINES AND TRAINING THEN? EVEN IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK DOING THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL? WHAT WOULD STOP WHOEVER IS IN THESE ALTERNATE TIMELINES FROM THINKING THAT WE'RE IMPOSTORS?

[02:56] CT: D --> If they think we are imposters, that is even better

[02:56] CT: D --> It just means they will be trying to kill us that much more

[02:58] CG: THAT IS REALLY ASSURING ME THAT I DID NOT JUST MAKE SOME DECISION THAT I WILL NOT ONLY REGRET LATER BUT AT THE MOMENT IS AN EMBODIMENT OF FUCKED UP TO THE POINT WHERE TROLLS ARE SWINGING FROM THEIR BULGES AND WAITING TO BE HACKED APART.

[02:58] CT: D --> I have been on many of these e%cursions, and have not died yet

[02:59] CT: D --> You will be safe enough

[02:59] CT: D --> But, give me...

[02:59] CT: D --> Hmmm

[02:59] CT: D --> Si% days to prepare

[02:59] CT: D --> I have other things to do as well

[03:03] CG: FINE. I'LL CONTACT YOU IN SIX DAYS, AND ASSUMING SOLLUX ISN'T STILL TRYING TO EITHER CODDLE ME OR CAUSE ME TO QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT HE EVEN UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING OF THE PHRASE "I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF", WE CAN START WITH THIS FUCKED UP WAY OF TRAINING.

[03:05] CT: D --> Perfect

[03:05] CT: D --> Goodbye Vantas

[03:05] CT: D --> A pleasure, as always

[03:06] CG: I'LL PROBABLY SEE YOU IN SIX DAYS. IF I DON'T, YOU ALREADY KNOW WHY.

[03:07] CT: D --> Try not to die before then

[03:07] CT: D --> Goodbye
