[The damn device phases in and out a couple of times, much to Mindfang's dismay. Once her face comes on screen, it can be seen that her wavy raven hair is being tamed by a rather lame looking sun hat. At least that would keep the blistering heat off her face]
I am assuming many of you have already heard too much contrite babble to be bothered with questions that have been asked hundreds of times. For that reason I will save my breath sating my curiosity toward the obvious.
[Momentarily she fiddles with the device, shifting down an alley way that has much more shade. Fuck the sun. ]
I will, however, ask where the hell can I get my hands on a decent wardrobe for this dreadful climate? I seem to be without my sylladex for whatever reason.
[She scowls, still unable to find any relief from the 94 degree weather. Ugh. Just ugh.]
I cannot bring myself to believe that anyone tortures themselves by voluntarily living in this barren wasteland.[Slight pause]
Are there any familiar faces out there?
[Please for the love of all that is sanity, do not let a Redglare be the one to answer this message]
Though, one obvious question does plague my think pan and I'm afraid I shall have to ask it anyway; what is a Meister and how the hell could I possibly have some type of ability?
And how do I go about finding out just what that ability is?

Well, she doesn't like you, but she kind of likes you more than she likes Aranea. And at least this isn't some lowblood with revolutionary ideals about the hemospectrum ]
betch yo ass there are
[Text]
Ah, the Empress herself. I trust you're doing well? Or should I say no so, since I've yet to see your name plastered anywhere.
[Maybe you'll like her less than Aranea. She isn't that interested in the hemospectrum but she sure as hell knows how to disrespect authority.]

n ma names around aight you just dont know shit
cuz you kinda been dead fo sweeps
[Text]
I had to explain this to Karkat earlier, the little brat, I'm alive. Unless this is some twisted version of hell, I'm pretty sure I've 8een alive for nearly one hundred and fifty sweeps.
[Good luck convincing her she's dead.]

then i krill the fucka
[Text]
[What the hell? Seriously?]
You've got to 8e kidding me. That sounds stupid. Why would I matesprit with someone who's going to cull me?
[Text]

but who cares rn
cuz afterall alternias gone
[ she prefers to be the one talking about this than to have Meenah down there or sum dumb grub who don't know shit ]
[Text]
Alright that's a lot to take in. So far she's been told their are separate universes, alternate versions of both of them and possibly others, they have descendants, and somehow their planet has been destroyed. What the actual hell? ]
It's gone. Okay. Then we're stuck here permanently? Well, I guess for me permanently. I'm just going to take a stab in the dark here and say you hail from another timeline entirely seeing as the last time I saw you was just before the Signless's execution.
[Brain explosion: Imminent ]
This is all so stupid.

You should pro8a8ly get with the program there, queenie.
This is a public communications network where one can read whatever isn't filtered.
[She literally has to facepalm. What is the world coming to.]
Some wriggler said they were dealing with you in another timeline.
So, unless you're dead too, I think you were still giving people pro8lems.
Why am I even explaining this?
This is pointless.
['Course she could be interpreting information wrong. I mean, this is all new shit.]
[Private]
She is indeed getting information wrong. Well, not wrong. Just biased. Which is understandable since no one actually sat down and tried to listen to the Empress even once (which is also understandable because said Empress is a crazy psycho and cull-happy).
She was trying to make Mindfang understand, but the spider is right. It is pointless: Condesce doesn't have patience and Mindfang has never been the kind of listen to her ruler at least once.
Well, it doesn't matter. Condesce still has one who will. ]
yo you know wat idfc
i aint the one whos gonna die anywaves
so good luck with dat shit sucka
[ Text ; private ]
It really bothers Dualscar that the mirrors' functionality is simply explained by claiming it as a ~*supernatural*~ instrument, though. ]
Your Majesty, General Dualscar reporting.
I trust you're faring wwell.
[ He's just going to completely ignore the topic of his Kismesis' mortality for everyone's sake. ]
[ Text ; private ]
who da fuck
yo do i know ya guppy
[ Text -> Video ; private ]
So, have the twice-scarred face of the Orphaner, his expression carefully groomed: professional and dignified to make a good impression, but still respectfully obedient. He bowed his head, and when he spoke, his voice exercised the same control--remaining formally detached. However, he had that cadence of charming aristocracy to it, rough and ragged though it was.
A good impression was vital right now. ]
No, but I serve as the General of your fleet.
General Orphaner Dualscar, at your service.
[ Video ; private ]
A general of her fleet, the one that is all gone; yet, still a General of violet blood. Which fleet, she would ask, but all her fleets went poof long ago, but perhaps his loyalty won't.
This is good.
She allows him to speak as she weights the words and his appearance, and then flips video on since she doesn't care all that much about showing her face around here. ]
Dat so, homie. [ he is dignified but she is not. While Condesce doesn't look all that undignified in the video (no shutter shades and "gangsta" accessories) her voice doesn't follow. ]
Been awhale since I saw that mothafuckin blood color. N' been a whale since mothafucks paid attention to the blood as they should. [ because she is surrounded by trolls who simply do not care for it. Freaks. ]
[ Video ; private ]
As for her syntax, he had heard things..rumors. But he would've never guessed..
But she was the Empress. She could do what the fuck she wanted to whom she wanted when she wanted, and it was beautiful. Even if he would be minutely disappointed later, his excitement saw that he overlooked the detail for now; and besides, wasn't this the same Empress who extended the far reaches of the Alternian Empire? The same one he served and admired from afar? ]
My apologies for keeping your waiting in the presence of bottom feeding trash. I hope you haven't been here long though; I understand the natives are making every effort to hinder enforcement of the natural order.
[ His lips hardened into a thin line with the idle insult, but smoothed again, ruffling again only to emphasize his last few words. ]
If you'll allow though, I would like to request a formal briefing and receive orders. I'm already fairly acquainted with the far-fetched premise of this planet, and the extenuating circumstances surrounding the Alternian inhabitants.
[ He knew she would have her plans, and he was eager to serve, just as he had on Alternia, unaware of his own inevitable death and the planet's destruction. He had just been waiting for sweeps for an opportunity like this. ]
[ Video ; private ]
[ aha, but meeting her. Should she? He seems loyal enough. And meeting in person would give her more impressiveness, as well as more room for private discussions. After all, even if Condesce is never shy regarding her desire to cull every single native she meets, no one really knows what exactly she wants. ]
Fin. This gurl will grant ya that.
[ and she sends him the address to Stein's laboratory, where she currently resides ]
Dun' be late, sucka.
[ Condesce logs the fuck out ]
[ Video ; private ]
I wouldn't dare keep you waiting, your Majesty.
[ His head nodded with another bow, but wow, did she even see it? The screen was black by the time he looked back up. Well..he got his chance to work closely with her, but no one said it was going to get easier. ]
