[ oh look. gwen's inside a blanket fort she built in the corner of the living room. she's nomming on some marshmallows and she's got her homework next to her. ]

Have you ever done something that you haven't since you were a kid, just for kicks, and found out it's just as awesome as it was when you were five? 'Cause I'm totally having one of those moments right now and I gotta say, if you haven't built a blanket fort in the past five years? You should definitely do it again.

[ there's a pause and she looks around. ]

Extra credit if you can get it to cover your entire living room. I wonder if we've got enough blankets for that...

[ the feed clicks off as gwen gets up, presumably in search of more pillows and blankets. ]

A freshman. A frosh is a freshman.

Why are you so blasé about this?

[glowsferatu]

I don't see much point in being so broken up about it. Would you prefer I weep with remorse?

It was hardly so terrible as what preceded it.

[candidly]

... Do I want to know what happened first?

[glowsferatu]

[ wow why did she saying anything, this is the last thing she wanted to get into ]

Probably not.

Suffice it to say that my kind are hardly so squeamish when it is decided that a murderer must be dealt with, especially following his execution of a genocide. Whatever superiority of his caste be damned.

[candidly]

Superiority of his caste?

[glowsferatu]

Stupid Alternian things. Hemospectral social order and things of such sort. It doesn't really matter anymore.

[candidly]

Hemo what now?

[glowsferatu]

Our society was structured into varying rungs according to blood color. And yes, if I can be allowed to answer your inquiry before it is voiced, my species has much greater variegation than your singular hue.

[candidly]

So what makes your blood different colors? Do you know?

[glowsferatu]

Differing pigments, I imagine. At times correlating with other qualities that may be common to the caste, but whether one is perpetuated by the other or something else entirely gives cause to both, I couldn't say.

I could demonstrate, if you like.
