[ Being a troll, it's counter-intuitive to attempt to verbally adress the people at large. So even if the initial post has a few false starts, an uh, an um, a flash of long horns and a glimpse of something fluttering and copper, Tavros has no intention to start speaking. ]

iF I AM GOING TO BE HONEST,
i THINK THAT, mAYBE, tHERE HAS BEEN A MISTAKE,
bEING IN THAT MY ARRIVAL HERE DOESN'T ACTUALLY MAKE MUCH SENSE,
oR AT LEAST, i'M NOT SURE WHY i WAS CHOSEN,
aS THINGS THAT ARE BAD SEEM TO HAPPEN OFTEN TO ME,
AND, i AM NOT REALLY A HERO,
oR, aBLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT ARE LISTED IN THE "DO" SECTION,
tHOUGH i GUESS IF THIS IS A COMMUNICATOR FOR THE PURPOSE OF TALKING TO OTHER iMPORTS,
tHIS QUESTION IS ACTUALLY, uH, kIND OF MOOT,
sORRY,
sO, iNSTEAD,
i WILL ASK IF, tHE FACT THAT i HAVE WINGS MEANS,
tHAT i MIGHT BE ABLE TO FLY?

[ translation!: If I am going to be honest, I think that, maybe, there has been a mistake, being in that my arrival here doesn't actually make much sense, or at least, I'm not sure why I was chosen, as things that are bad seem to happen often to me, and, I'm not really a hero, or, able to do the things that are listed in "do" section. Though I guess if this is a commicator for the purpose of talking to other Imports, this question is actually, uh, kind of moot.

Sorry.

So instead, I will ask if, the fact that I have wings means, that I might be able to fly? ]

oKAY,

[ He'll just be sitting out in the sun. Fluttering those big sparkly bug wings. ]

[galactic]

[And Jade teleports over, spotting him pretty easily. He's impossible to miss, after all! She looks totally awed by those wings.]

Hi!

[uncertainty]

[ WOAH.

Oh, so this is what they meant about other powers. He sits up a little more and can't stop the wings from fanning out in excitement. They feel a lot better in the sun, seriously. ]

Uh, hi!

[galactic]

[Sorry, Tavros, you're getting hugged now! She's very careful not to jostle his wings.]

I am so glad you're back. Your wings are so cool!

[uncertainty]

[ What what what what - oh. His hands go stiff at his sides for a minute, before he tentatively reaches out to return the hug. Humans sure do look weird up close! ]

Thank you, it is good to be bad, I think. Your, uh, telelporting was, very cool as well.

[galactic]

[She grins as she pulls away.]

Thanks! Has anyone gotten you caught up yet?

[uncertainty]

Kind of. I understand that, I have been here before, maybe more than once, though I don't remember. And, uh, we - the trolls, I mean - live in a communal hive, apparently. Along with the fact that, this place gives you powers, and can also turn you human - whoops, not, you, but other people who were not, originally human, that is.

[galactic]

That is pretty much all of it, yes! Do you have any questions?

[uncertainty]

Not anymore, at this time, no. [ wait. ] What exactly are we trying to, protect the people from?

[galactic]

Um, well... Aliens attacked a little while ago! But I guess mostly nothing terrible happens here. You don't really have to be a hero if you don't want to.

[uncertainty]

Oh.

[ It's not that he doesn't think that he couldn't.

Well.

Okay. So, he doubts that he could. Sort of. But if he's confident and like Rufio, then he definitely can. Especially with wings. Non-working legs aside. ]

[galactic]

[She tilts her head at that response, then grins at him.]

Do you want to be?

[uncertainty]

I think that, I do. Yes.

[galactic]

Then you should! I think you would be really good at it!

[uncertainty]

You do? [ No, don't sound that unsure. She's saying nice things about you! He tries to look a little more self-assured. ] I mean, thank you for thinking so.

[galactic]

[She giggles, nodding enthusiastically. At least he's trying to be more confident without being obnoxious now.]

You're welcome! Are you hungry?

[uncertainty]

[ It's only a matter of time. ]

Yeah.

[galactic]

[SHHHH she can be hopeful! She offers him her hand.]

What do you usually like to eat?

[uncertainty]

[ hope will only lead to awkward silences. ]

I could probably, eat anything. But, uh, what would you, like to eat?

[galactic]

Um...

[She pauses, considering.]

Anything, I guess! I don't really like fast food.
