[He doesn't use video bc quite frankly he looks like Shit. So he uses voice. It's Not Much Better?]

How the fuck do you be a decent person...

No, wait.. [Give him a second.] How do you— know who you are? [???] Recently, something in me changed... was changed, forcefully, and...

[He's lost??? He's quiet for a few moments, before he growls. It sounds more like a groan.]

Nevermind. What is there to do around here?

[get some fucking rest shido????]

[He's coming back to this later, once he's actually been healed. He definitely sounds much more alert and less like he has one foot in the grave.]

I see... I've never heard of such a thing before. In any case, I got myself seen to.

[And he doesn't intend to let it get that bad again, thanks. Once was enough.]

o)+ Good.

o)+ And no, I hadn't gotten the imPression that quirked text was exactLy common among humans.

[makejapangreat]

[shido that's speciest]

[dubiouslychthonic]

For being another species, you're remarkably trolliod.

[Her tone is mild, maybe just a touch too much so.]

The similarities are less extensive than you might assume from the broad details of adult morphology.

[makejapangreat]

I— sorry.

[he's... still getting used to... everything.]

In my . . . world, we never had contact with any other sentient species.

[dubiouslychthonic]

Unless you've already developed interstellar flight capabilities of your own, that's probably for the best for your civilization, honestly. Our empire is not particularly given to diplomacy.

[makejapangreat]

[A wry smirk.] We seem to be making a pretty good effort towards destroying ourselves, anyway.

Interstellar flight... I can scarcely imagine it. My own species has yet to send a man farther than our moon.
