[He's been in the City a few days, and he still appears to be wearing the expensive suit he showed up in, though now it's all wrinkled and stained from days and nights of wearing it without wash. But for most people this is the first time seeing Pickles, and he seems to be standing in a lamp store, and he looks majorly peeved about something. Something imperative.]

Seriously?? Have none of yew fuckin' mouthbreathers even heard of Dethklahk??!

*She laughs!* No, no, I'm definitely a troll! Just not right now! The teleporter made me look like a normal human, and I think it's actually kind of cute!

But I miss my horns and I miss my fins and my gills.

[zazz]

Oh, I see, dat was prahbly smart. Otherwise people'd try to kill yew. No one wanted the troll we killed around, after all.

[necronomicod]

...do you really think that people would try to kill me if I was still a troll?

That doesn't make any sense! A few of us here are still trolls and people don't try to krill them.

[zazz]

Yeh, sure, people try to kill me sometimes, and look at me!

Whoah, there're troll trolls here?

[necronomicod]

Of course we're troll trolls! What other trolls would we be?

[zazz]

Well, I mean, that dun look like li'l angels like yew. I haven't seen any, they're kinda big, hard ta miss. But the buildings around here are pretty big, too, they can prahbly hide better than in Finland, the frigid wasteland that it is.

[necronomicod]

...we're not that big! I don't actually think we're bigger than humans!

[zazz]

Oh, errr, was I bein' culturally insensitive again?

[necronomicod]

I think we're probabubbly thinking about different kinds of trolls! I've never met one that big.

...but I've never met another type of troll either.

[zazz]

Me either, till now.

Do all trolls live in the water?

[necronomicod]

Not at all! Only the royalty and nobility, who are the sea trolls!

[zazz]

Oh, neat, so yer like a li'l mermaid. Mertroll? Mertrollmaid. With horns. That's pretty metal, like somethan' out of one of Nate's songs. Yew ever get murdered?

[necronomicod]

*And she suddenly looks kind of sad!* Um.

Whale, yes. Actually.

[zazz]

Heh, no fair fuckin' around back when I'm jest fuckin' around with yew.

[Hard to take such an allegation seriously when the person is alive and talkin' to him, yeah?]

[necronomicod]

I'm not, though! I really was krilled! Booom, right through the cartilaginous cage and everything! *Her hand comes right to the center of her chest.*

[zazz]

I think that's called a chest and it looks pretty whole to me, kiddo.

[necronomicod]

Whale it's whole now. I was a ghost! And that sort of stuff doesn't last when you're a ghost!

[zazz]

But yer naht a mertrollmaid ghost now, though?

[necronomicod]

Nope! I'm not even a little bit of that!

Just a squishy, kind of brown human!

[zazz]

Huh, weird. Heh, either yew have a really awesome and morbid imagination or things're more fucked up here than I thought, either way, I like yew, kid. Which is a compliment, since most kids're fucking li'l devils sent from hell to torture me.

[necronomicod]

I like me, too! And I think I like you, also! It's fun to meet new people, isn't it? It's really exciting!

[zazz]

Nah, I hate meeting new people usually, all their chattering and smells, yanno? Pretty hard to stand fer more than the second it takes to scribble an autograph. But I dun have much of a choice here, do I?

[necronomicod]

Um. No, I don't know! That's not how I'd think of it at all!

Every new person you meet is a story there to learn, right?

[zazz]

But most people's stories seem ta be aboot how people suffer and fart around at work and what stupid thing their cat did and takin' pictures of the food they're aboot to eat like we're all supposed to care. At least, that's what the internet tells me. Yew like hearin' those stories?

[necronomicod]

I shore do! It's really exciting to meet new people and learn about them! You don't ever get that as the heiress to the throne on Alternia!
