Looks like you aren't allowed to be this particular troll yet! But you can be the cave girl this troll is getting ready to contact instead.

What were you exactly trying to accomplish there assbutt? You sure are tired of all this nonsense and feel the urge to make some progress! Too bad you have a conversation to tend to right when you were going to improvise the hell out of whatever was making your dear lusus ill. So instead of doing something that could have made this situation perfectly okay, you proceed to have this conversation. Now you've completely forgotten what you had been planning on doing, but on the bright side cA would be meeting up with you and have medicine to help. The whole situation with a temple to explore was rather exciting, but you rarely expressed excitement. It just wasn't your style. But it's cool. Everything's usually cool with you. Except know-it-alls and horrid bitches. So not cool. You say to yourself all alone.

pa- okay this just isn't going to work.

Our Command box is now officially open, so if you have any commands, suggestions, questions or anything like that feel free to drop us one! 

and today has not been your day. You are SEVEN and a HALF SOLAR SWEEPS but you do not keep COUNT because such a thing is a waste of TIME. You have many INTERESTS that PLAGUE YOUR THINK PAN nonstop. For this reason you are SOMEWHAT GROUCHY and yet you manage to restrain yourself from MURDERING EVERYONE. Your INTERESTS include but are not limited to, ADVENTURING, COLLECTING TRINKETS, TRAVELING, EATING, and OCCASIONALLY SOLVING MYSTERIES. As far as these INTERESTS go they are not your only means of ENTERTAINMENT. If by ENTERTAINMENT one means TAKING CARE OF YOUR IDIOT MOIRAIL and HER SHITTY FRIENDS THAT YOU ARE OKAY WITH. Infact you and your MOIRAIL are incredibly close though you would never admit to such a thing. To others, your MOIRAILLEGIANCE is completely standard and even lenient when in actuality YOU ARE PRETTY VIGILANTE. Due to circumstances which remain a MYSTERY to everyone, you have built a wagon and decided to take up travelling. Not only is it more convenient, but it is incredibly enjoyable for both you and your lusus and proves to create a constructive outlet for your natural aggression that comes with being a TEAL BLOOD. You feel sorry for anyone stuck in a stuffy hive. Oddly enough you find yourself stuck in an ONGOING STRUGGLE between speaking with those of HIGHER BLOOD COLORS and the LOWER CASTE. Anyway, any more will be revealed soon enough about you, aside from the fact that your trolltag is epigrammaticWanderer and you tend to enunciate certain £etters ƒØr yØur ƒangs ƒØrce yØu tØ speak very s£Øw£y and careƒu££y. For the readers information, you will join up with several other trollchums including your moirail, and some trolls you despise, and investigate a temple that for the most part DOES NOT EXIST TO YOU YET. You are currently worried sick over your dear voracious reptilianbeast lusus, and feel the need to do something, anything to help make him more comfortable and aid his recovery.  What will you do?

Whoa what the fuck. Who do you think you are? Can't you see this kid has enough to deal with without you unleashing such sick fires upon his stressed think pan? Try again, smartass.

Utterly Depressed...Your lusus has been sick for some time now, and though you would never admit it like a great deal of other things, you don't want your lusus to die just because it would result in you getting stranded and culled. Regardless, you think it may have been something he ate. While that normally wouldn't be a long-term problem the illness combined with the heat is making it difficult for you to take care of him, but you do as much as you can. Anyway, what's this kids name, maybe after we get to know him we can help him with his predicament?

It looks like you may have gotten it right this time. Gaze upon the vessel of a true adventurer, one whose audacity has never faltered. One who loves to take risks, journeying outward in the blazing Alternian sun with nothing more than a skillfully crafted wagon with light filtering fabrics and wire as protection. One whose lusus seems to be on the verge of dying due to an unknown sickness, which only makes for another amazing adventure to take your sidekicks on. You are now...

You can't be the nearly blind boy because it seems that you've stumbled upon the wrong hive! The wrong hive yes but not of the wrong troll. More or less abandoned, normal hive turned storage for trinkets, doodads and items alike gathered by him and his lusus on their journeys. Being of the blood he was, he had a generously sized hive which now housed rooms upon rooms of said collected anythings.  If anything, you found a room filled with items that held more sentimental value. Not that he would ever admit to it. What a find! Let's try and track this one down again.

And here we have something not new to you but very new to the readers. In fact these structures could be considered one of the many mysterious works of even more mysterious forces. Perhaps far too old for anyone to remember who built these strange ruins, but new enough to you, the reader that you can assume we will all find out. But we won't. And neither will the happy little troll and her companions who will explore it. Definitely not today or tomorrow, or in a crazy outlandish adventure featuring a Cueball headed Uncle-like figure. However that certainly doesn't stop whoever does decide to explore this particular temple that we are looking at right this very minute.

You don't know what that means, but you roll right out of your hive in a super adventurous, and really cool way.

Your name is UMAYA MESKET You're specifically 7 SOLAR SWEEPS. How can you be so sure? Why you've written it down of course! You write down EVERYTHING that is or might be IMPORTANT, but not on paper or in journals, on the walls of your lovely cave hive. In fact there was already quit a bit of MYSTERIOUS WRITING on your walls the day you found it! Normally one would be curious as to WHERE ON ALTERNIAS GREEN MOON THAT SHIT CAME FROM, but you know much than to question the ancient words of wisdom left behind for you! MORE than OFTEN there's been a time where they've become relevant to you. Aside from your silly infatuation with wall writing, you also collect GEMS. You adore the way they sparkle against the light, but you also SELL them on the TROLL BLACKMARKET. It is less of a BLACKMARKET and more of you SELLING STOLEN GEMS AT A HIGHER PRICE THAN THEY WERE ORIGINALLY VALUED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. Haha woopse! Did you say STOLEN? No no, you meant FOUND. You just may have FOUND them in someones hive! Not stealing! But then there's your true calling. ADVENTURE. You are batshit crazy for ADVENTEROUS things! Sometimes ADVENTURING alone is boring, so luckily your blind moirail and dyslexic friend to go with you! Your trolltag is troglodyteticalLarcener and ΔΔY☼U †εND †☼ †YPε WITH VARI☼S SYMB☼LS SIMI∟AR †☼ †Hε ☼NεS WRI††EN ☼N Y☼UR CAVε WA∟∟SΔΔ You were just about to go check on this really neat temple you just found and invite your pals to join you in some very serious exploring!

She gives a hearty "Kεε Hεε" at your attempt and denies your request to enter a name.  She assures you that the time will come, but for now she'll introduce herself.
