Fish grow bigger in ponds | Video | During the later day of the third

[caprihorn]

[Before the camera is the visage of someone not altogether unfamiliar. Where once there was a young troll with slight pudge left to his cheeks left, a nose with unsettled shape, and still grey eyes, there is an adult with purple irises set against yellow sclera, a much bigger and longer nose settled into something that's not quite Romanesque, and strong cheek bones with no fat left.

When he speaks between sharper and longer teeth a deeper and harsher voice comes rumbling out.]

Which one of you mother fuckers _{up and messed with shit up in here this time?}

[And when he moves to turn off the video the camera's lowered before his thumb clicks the right part of the communicator, it leaves a quick a view of a troll who's so tall and has such long horns that he can't completely stand straight up in a room with a seven-foot ceiling.]

[dogwitch]

[She squints at the screen for a while before pulling back, rather wide-eyed.]

I see, you as well. [By now she's started compiling a list.]

Permavidya

[caprihorn]

_{Me as well, seems like} you're surprised or some shit.

[Look he's trying to learn body language. He's trying.]

[dogwitch]

I'm surprised by how tall you are. [You trolls and your massive size.]

[caprihorn]

_{Why's that all surprising?} Always been taller than yourself, Jade.

[dogwitch]

Yeah but now you're a giant. It's...well I've never seen anyone that big before. Do all of you Trolls get so big?

[caprihorn]

_Yeah, we get to normal heights like that in my caste. _{You're the ones that stay small.}

[dogwitch]

Hmm, I see. Do you get taller the higher the spectrum?

[She gives him a curious look before continuing.] And we're not small. Maybe compared to you but for humans this is normal.

[caprihorn]

_{That's short.} And yeah, usually. _{Least 'til you get to Eridan.}

Ain't as tall as me.

[dogwitch]

[She's just going to lineface at him. She's not short for a human woman, she's actually getting on the tall side.]

So it goes up then back down again? Huh...

[caprihorn]

_{Don't know,} ain't a lot of empresses to compare their heights around to.

[dogwitch]

[She gives a thoughtful hum and shrugs.]

So are you trapped like Tavros is? [Or was. By now she certainly hopes he's no longer trapped in his room.]

[caprihorn]

_{Hahaha, I'm out now.}

[Pause.]

Tavros is still all trapped?

[dogwitch]

[She shrugs, frowning a bit.] I don't know. When I talked to him earlier he was. Poor guy and his huge horns.

[caprihorn]

_{Fuck, should probably check on himself.}

[dogwitch]

I'm sure by now he's out. It was really early this morning when I talked him.

[caprihorn]

[Pausing for about ten seconds before he says something.]

He was talking to myself not long ago about horns and shit making things real hard.

[dogwitch]

That came up. [She winces as she says the next bit.] He still had some plaster stuck to one of his horns when we were talking.

[caprihorn]

_Fuuuuck that ain't no good.

[dogwitch]

I would have gone over to help but with the clothes issue at the time it...uh...yeah. [And there goes her face turning red.]

[caprihorn]

[Pausing, smiling kind evilly and kind of laughing the same way.]

_{Do you like Tavros, sister?}

[dogwitch]

[And her face just turns even more red. Jerk.]

As a friend. [Not her fault he's all hot now. Or that being a adult makes her think of things she wouldn't normally think about. Why does her mind keep going to those places?!]

[caprihorn]

[He's honk laughing at her now.]

That red don't all say so. _{It's spreading like them tiny fires do in forests and they just get bigger and bigger} until they get on consuming whatever was living.

_{Gonna cover yourself pretty quick.}

[dogwitch]

[She pins her ears back and growls a bit. So rude! And of course she's just turning even more red as she switches to voice.]

Sh-shut up! There's nothing, he's just a friend.

[caprihorn]

Ahahahaha _honk honk.

_{There's plenty shit there.}

[dogwitch]

[Hanging up then!]
