[You've been wandering for awhile! The Plains of Spite are indeed full of spite, in that you keep tripping in holes in the ground and almost landing right on your face. It's a good place to wander around, though, and to practice with your sickles a little. ...possibly also to yell at the sky because you hate everything, but then the big animal somebody said is called an alot of crankiness had made a weird noise right back in your face and gone back to chewing on grass.

Anybody out on the plains probably sees you standing there! Your sickles are not captchalogued because that alot looks really sketchy and you might need them on short notice, but you're not actively practicing right now.]

....It was a figure of speech. You seemed unduly concerned about the manner in which you'd have to be dressed. I was trying to make the point that it doesn't matter.

In any event, it's just skin. What does it matter?

BECAUSE BEING NAKED IN FRONT OF SOMEBODY IS A PRETTY DAMN BIG DECLARATION OF PITY AND TRUST, FOR ONE? I THOUGHT EVEN HUMANS GOT THAT.

[ice_and_steel]

I have heard getting naked described as an awful lot of things, but out of pity is not usually on the list of reasons. I hear pity tends to inhibit desire.

I mean certainly if you are getting naked with the intent of engaging in intercourse then yes that implies a certain level of trust, but there are other reasons, at least where I come from.

OH, FOR-- AM I GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO EVERY HUMAN EVER?

PITY AND HATE CAN BE ROMANTIC EMOTIONS FOR TROLLS. THEY AREN'T ALWAYS, BUT THEY CAN BE. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PITY ROMANCE THAT MIGHT INVOLVE TAKING YOUR CLOTHES OFF, AND ONLY ONE OF THEM INVOLVES PAILING, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO OF COURSE THERE ARE OTHER REASONS, BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE MY ANSWER.

I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE LECTURE ABOUT HOW BLAH BLAH BLAH YOU DON'T PAIL PEOPLE YOU HATE AND OH MY GOD HOW COULD YOU EVER PITY SOMEONE YOU WERE ROMANTICALLY ATTRACTED TO. MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM MULTIPLE HUMANS, AND ALSO A ROBOT. I'M ABOUT TO MAKE A FUCKING VIDEO TO EXPLAIN IT SO I CAN JUST PLAY THAT EVERY TIME SOMEONE ASKS NOW.

....Drift asked you?

[she starts laughing]

I wish I'd heard that conversation.

[a little less mirthfully]

I don't quite understand wanting romance with someone you pity, but if you say it works for you, then I don't think I'm qualified to argue with that.
