#essint

This drinking establishment was one of the usual haunts, but the patrons inside were not the crowd she usually knew. A minor fleet ship must have landed nearby and belched out the batch of salted seatrolls that littered the chairs and tables. That didn’t stop Essint from digging herself three drinks in at the bar itself. When the bartender had looked askance- a brief flash of eyebrows above sunset-orange eyes- Essint had rolled her eyes and grunted, “Final Testaments.”

None of young subjuggulators in her hallway were achieving the marks they needed- chattering priests, they weren’t even getting marks that would let them live past the next lunar cycle! And while Essint wasn’t responsible for teaching them their whoops and words, the Raketeer would have questions and looks and Scripture for her.

Hence, the three drinks-- which now were doing wonders for the eminent doom scratching down her neck. Her fingers were only slightly sticky from the Faygo base: bright heretical zest, the color of much long ago mulched limebloods that made for the brightest of lunar rays on murals. And the liqour mixed in had a mellower punch, probably brought out out storage for the roiling bright purples waggling their fins about, but she wasn’t going to complain.

Dezias and Chylak are two of four trolls I made in conjunction with @jubdig​ and @mizzqueenofships​- each of us with four fantrolls for a potential SGRUB setup but hasn’t gotten past the ‘these are our characters and their dynamics with each other’ stage for the past while. I currently run them just as normal vaguely placed citizens.

Tuyere and Kitreo are shipcrew on Cruiser Crukov, who @mizzqueenofships​‘s fantrolls run- including Diretrix Vhanta. There is another troll there I control, Tisnef, the grody-looking former-helmstroll who may or may not be haunting the ship depending on where in the timeline we are. (There is an AU where we’ve shoved the 1st group of potential-SGRUB trolls onto there but that also just kinda hangs out there).

Essint is the only one that doesn’t have a hard connection to any previously established setting/group connected, other than a potential for shipping. This has been going as smoothly as I expected, which is not at all since I haven’t been active recently. She does come with an actual place-setting of a terrifying college dorm-monastery-mural gallery, though!

Dezias is most stagnant, though I can also just make that an intentional part of his current state, so rps with him could go into pushing and pulling him out of his current comfort zone of the city. He’s getting bored of his own stuff, even the super cool parkour routes- but he’s also not the best at being totally independent, so the thought of striking out on his own before conscription time comes along is intriguing but terrifying.

Chylak is the actual hermit out of my trolls, but she actually has more opportunity for external hooks. She has had friends before (troll electronica concerts are solid gold), but fell out of touch with them in bouts of suspicion and anxiety.  She’s aware that she needs more meatspace contacts than just her anonymous conspiracy compatriots, especially for times when paranoia gives her a hard kick, so an external support system would do her wonders.

Essint is currently dreading her position as Habvisor- playing RA to a bunch of baby clowns is only so exciting, and she knows their behavior reflects on her, which is to say, poorly. As such, she wants to move onto bigger and better things- make adult friends/confidants and a proper position where she can distinguish herself.

Gonna pop these up 3 at a time. I had these done earlier this week but am just now getting round to putting them up.

Essint stands with her hands on her hips and a wide grin on her face. Her left eyebrow is lifted high. “If you think we’re just gonna sleep, then you picked the wrong replacement.”

The Habvisor throws back her head and laughs, all teeth and exhaled grunts. When she regains her composure she pulls out a chisel and picks her teeth with it.

“You better not be one of my charges at the Panomura,” she says rolling her eyes. “I’ve quashed three quadrant-questions just this quarter alone, and I’m going to keep doing it until you get it through your thick skulls that I am not in your league.”
