The Water Cooler Returns!

Man, it's been awhile since we've done one of these, hasn't it?



Time to whip up some funtimes with CR and things to do around the ship! Time for the Podlings to make new friends/enemies/plans/etc!

Comment below and tag around if you see something or someone that catches your character(s) interests!



Rock on, meatshippers, and have fun!

Zhiai'kahn is still intrigued by Tavros' wheelchair and the fact that he's crippled but may not be totally useless and would like to tinker with it. Perhaps she could help figure out a way to make it a bit more practical. Like, attach a small engine to it to make it faster. Or stick Gatling guns to the sides of it. Though if she did that, she'd probably want to patent the design as a teeny war machine...

Also, I'd like to throw Rei at him sometime! He'd be jealous of his horns and may get very confused/yell at him if he finds out about the weirdness the trolls have been having with timelines.

Tavros is still intrigued by Zhiai'kahn's species. XD He wouldn't mind her messing around with the wheelchair, as long as they could talk about what she is and where she came from in the meantime.

He isn't fully aware of all the weird time shit Trollian/Sgrub/Sburb are going to cause, actually. Though for the sake of this roleplaying scenario, I might have him know a bit more than he should.

But why would he be jealous of the horns? XD

Zhiai does really miss her home, she'd probably be willing to talk about it! It might edge into speciesism occasionally, though.

Haaaa, that's good for Tavros, then. Rei has a tendency to... pirouette off the handle, as it were, when time travel and general messing with time comes up. Because according to him, every other person that messes with time is DOING IT WRONG.

Oh, durr, should have explained that. Rei is mostly human, but slowly turning into a dragon-type time Guardian thingy. Right now he's got a few non-human features, such as pointy ears, forked tongue, etc. Eventually he's going to grow horns, and he already knows that they'll be kind of boring and black and coming from his forehead and will think Tavros' are totally awesome and colorful.

Classism is really nothing new to Tavros. If she gets arrogant, he'd probably just stay quiet or reluctantly agree with her just to keep the scene from getting unpleasant. He's bad at confrontations. Not to mention the fact that if she has his wheelchair, he's really at her mercy.

Oh man. Now I'm thinking Trans9 really needs Dave. Or Aradia. Just for that reaction. XD And, haha, I dunno, considering how often Tavros seems to get his horns caught on stuff or accidentally hit people, he might be like "dude, if I could, I'd trade." He can barely sleep because of the damn things!

Zhiai's people only became the dominant species on their planet within her lifetime, and it was after pulling themselves up from the lowest social class, so she's not too bad about her speciesism. But she did help lead the revolution and has internalized some of the propaganda that was being spread around before they set up their apartheid system. But she won't bully him while holding his chair hostage too much, heh.

Oh, geez. Considering that his reaction to the Doctor and his companions was pretty bad, he'd probably flip out like crazy at those two. And then try to steal those turntable thingies because his time machine is just a stupid watch that has terrible accuracy.

He can barely sleep because of the damn things!

afdasjfhdsf aaaaawwwwww <3 Man, I just want to hug Tavros so much. Like, big mothery hug for both him and Alex being so cute and woobie-tastic together.

Tavros won't be able to relate to that at all; trolls have been dominant on Alternia for thousands of years. But being from a low social caste himself will help, I think. This'll be a pretty fun thread! :D

Dammit, now I want to app Aradia.

Fun fact: All the main characters in Homestuck were named by fan suggestion. The troll names had to be two names, six letters each. When it came time for Tavros, my favorite suggestion by far was Bigest Woobie.

You're all lucky I'm not in charge. XD
