[Private to all trolls; Filtered away from Condesce]
Some information has come into my hands that I'm curious about and I was hoping one of you could enlighten me on this subject. Multiple answers are not only fine but also encouraged because there's no such thing as too much information.
I assume my question is simple, however I'm still unaware of minor details in troll culture so it could be more complicated than I'd imagined.
What's a "moirail"?
And on a second note, I've worked out a more effective sopor substitute. However, I'd like opinions on what you believe the best method would be to apply it. Via a sort of reuseable patch, a type of lotion or merely a container with strong enough fumes to be effective or any other ideas you may have.

LOL have some TL;DR [Voice: Filtered]
Troll romance carries the connotation of multiple partnerships. It is split into four distinct quadrants represented 8y symbols that the Disciple has mentions. Firstly, we have the Red romance that is comprised of the Flushed Quadrant and the Pale Quadrant. (The pale quadrant 8eing what Moirail falls under). These two quadrants are strongly rooted in positive emotions. Then there is Black romance which is split into the Caliginous and Ashen quadrants. This two are rooted in strong negative emotions for one another.
The official terminology that is tossed around for Red romance is Matespritship for Flushed, and Moirallegiance for Pale. The quadrant that you've specifically asked for information on is usually a guardianship that is extremely necessary for High8loods. Typically they will 8ecome pale with Midbloods or lower because they make the best Moirails. They are a8le to console the feelings of rage and keep the High8lood partner in line. This consolation of rage and violence may 8e more essential for some High8loods than others. The relationship is thought of to 8e strictly platonic given the nature of how trolls 8reed on our planet. Palemates are often seen spending quality time together, getting to know each other, and often engaging in very close-knit friendship. That isn't what is important, namely. The friendship part is merely a 8onus. Having someone around that understands you much better than anyone else is something most long for, no?
The purpose of this quadrant serves is to keep the viciously violent nature of the High8lood in check, in a very positive way. These two will essentially 8alance each other. That doesn't got to say that their strongly positive feelings are null and void, 8ut they help in motivation to keep the Palemates together.
As a side note regarding the sopor, I do 8elieve some sort of lotion or container with a strong aroma may 8est.

And as of right now the substitute is simply a container with a strong aroma, I'm just wondering if anyone has any better ideas they'd like to see developed.

The 8est example I can give is that I never expressively asked Dualscar to 8e my Ashen Quadrant. As it were, he is a military official and I am a pir8. We have had many run ins where his cunning can match my ingenuity. We present such a challenge to one another that our rivalry developed naturally. I consider him to 8e my equal and for that reason I keep him around.
[Ugh, sentiment does not fit their relationship and she doesn't want to confuse him by mentioning just how much she hates the bastard so she will leave this part out.]
Anyway, if you are feeling particularly close to a troll, any troll, that you feel you have a grasp on that no one else seems to have, or that your positive interactions between each other seem to balance out the volatile nature in both of you. . .You may have a palemate without even knowing it. And that's a good thing.~
Hm, well this is sort of inventive in a way, 8ut if you could figure out how to mix this substitue with a detergent trolls could essentially wash their 8edding in it and then it'll have the smell along with the feeling of sleeping within the sopor. This way it is does not need to be replenished as often and helps with the adjustment into this planet's sleep schedule. Whenever the troll is in 8ed they will be compelled to sleep and thus this can regulate their schedules to function during daylight if they choose to.

And that's one idea, but that would require making it so it's activated by water and not diluted by it. A thought to keep in mind for experimental purposes, but not anything I'd get to soon I don't think.
[Voice: Filtered]
Let me instead ask you if love need 8e reciproc8ed 8efore the heart makes its connection? I do not enjoy repeating myself, Doctor. A palemate is much like friendship. Do you ask all of your friends to 8e friends with you?
[There's a slight pauses, she's pondering what else she could possibly offer as a method of distribution.]
This is not so. It will work much like adding flavor to a drink would. You have the a8ility to drink water without it tasting like anything else. Once you add a drop of lemon or two one can start to taste the difference. Detergent is the wrong term I suppose. Think of it as a scent for what is already there. A flavor that can be added to what you can already drink. Lemonade is not completely comprised of lemons. It does not take water to activate the flavor as it already exists on its own. Lemon is usually much too sour to 8e used by itself for a 8everage.
[ooc: Let's pretend I didn't forget to keep putting that she's using voice and not text x_x]
[Filtered] Made simpler
The issue here is that flavoring doesn't work the same way as when you're dealing with medical drugs. If you take cough syrup and fill something with half medicine and half water, the general flavoring is still there but it's diluted. The same with alcohol. You wouldn't think the same of a glass that's half vodka and half water as you would with a full glass of vodka. That's what I was getting at, since to wash beddings in it would have to be able to mix with water without losing it's potency.

[Obviously she's not great with medicinal knowledge but he has her interested.]
Ah, I see that does pose a problem. If you are having trou8le discerning how to keep the potency without reinventing the wheel then why not stick to a lotion or the aroma? I have not 8een around long enough to acquire any of this substitue myself, 8ut I assume that it is working granted the progress you've made.
[Then it hits her! She's got an idea! Excuse Mindfang while she gushes about this. Situations that propose a way to challenge her thinking interest her very much.]
What about a spray? It doesn't disrupt how you have already engineered it to work, keeps it medicinal properties, but has the versatility to be applied to other things without creating much of a mess. It can work much like a perfume bottle. The user applies small but potent amounts to the areas they desire which eliminates the need to produce large quantities as I assume you are the only one manufacturing this substitute sopor. It can be applied to the chest area in order for proximity to the smell or to a pillow.
[Filtered]
[He hadn't considered a spray, but it's certainly an idea.]
That might actually work, and be more convenient as well. Not to mention it could be as simple as putting it in a regular spray bottle if it works well enough, that way someone could decide if they'd rather use the spray or if they'd like to just keep it as using the aroma.

[Stein, you should have seen that coming. It's almost laughable that he thought this information was coming from whatever itty bitty kindness is left inside her heart.]
[Filtered]
Who said you were getting anything this time?
[Filtered]
[She's merely teasing, and most of what she would use the information for would be harmless. Namely H.I.C would just get little hints that STEIN HAS NO IDEA ABOUT just because it would give Mindfang a good laugh.]
