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.

It's a romantic partner of sorts. From what I have learned humans only commit themselves to one partner, but trolls have four stemming from our quadrant system.

LOL have some TL;DR [Voice: Filtered]

I am curious to know what sparks your sudden interest in the subject, 8ut that is another question for another time.

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.

OH GOD PLEASE TELL ME THIS TEXT DOESN'T MEAN WHAT I THINK IT FUCKING MEANS.
EVEN YOU CAN'T BE THAT CRAZY.
ALRIGHT, I'M JUST GOING TO PRETEND THAT THIS IS JUST A FUCKING CURIOSITY THING, AND YOU AREN'T ACTUALLY CONSIDERING A MOIRALLEGIANCE WITH THE MOST VOLATILE AND DANGEROUS TROLL IN EXISTENCE.

WHAT EVERY ONE ELSE HAS BEEN TELLING YOU JUST ABOUT COVERS IT, SO I'LL JUST ADD IN SOME DETAILS AND SHIT.
I JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS QUADRANT WITH ERIDAN'S MOIRAIL, ACTUALLY, SO IF YOU'RE WILLING TO GO FISHING AROUND FOR OUR VIDEO CONVERSATION, I GO INTO MORE DEPTH THERE.
MOIRAILS FEEL PITY TOWARDS EACH OTHER, AND IT'S A NECESSARILY THING TOO, BECAUSE YOU'RE AT YOUR MOST OPEN AND YOUR MOST SENSITIVE WITH YOUR MOIRAIL.
PALEMATES OFTEN HAVE FEELING JAMS IN WHICH ONE OR MORE COMMONLY BOTH PARTNERS SHARE WHAT'S BEEN BOTHERING THEM AND GET SHIT OFF THEIR CHEST.
IT'S A BONDING ACTIVITY, AND IT'S ALSO MEANT TO CALM THE VIOLENT PARTNER DOWN.
THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE IN SOME SORT OF PILE, AND FOR MOIRAILS, I DON'T KNOW, IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE PALE VERSION OF MAKING OUT.
IT'S KIND OF SOMETHING YOU DON'T OFTEN DO IN PUBLIC.
IT'S PERSONAL.
THE GESTURE THE MORE PASSIVE PARTNER USES TO SUBDUE THE MORE ACTIVE PARTNER IS PAPPING, AND IT'S USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY SHOOSHING.
SHOOSHING'S THE SOUND YOU MAKE, AND PAPPING IS A LIGHT TOUCH, SORT OF LIKE A SLAP BUT MUCH LIGHTER, OBVIOUSLY.
IT CAN JUST BE A SHORT TOUCH, OR YOU CAN SORT OF DRAG IT ALONG THE SKIN A WHILE, AND TURN IT INTO A SORT OF CARESS.
YOU USUALLY PAP THE FACE AREA IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE THAT WAY.
BOTH THE SHOOSHING AND THE PAPPING ARE TECHNIQUES TO CALM DOWN A MORAIL WHO IS VERY UNSTABLE AT THE MOMENT.
IT'S SORT OF INSTINCTUAL TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOUR MOIRAIL IS DOING THAT FOR YOU.

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER TO ME.
I MEAN, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF HOW WE USUALLY USE IT, WHICH IS JUST SLEEPING IN IT, BUT I'M GUESSING THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST IDEA IF YOU'RE JUST TESTING IT OUT RIGHT NOW, OR MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR THAT I DON'T FUCKING KNOW.
OUR SKIN ISN'T THAT SENSITIVE SO I THINK A PATCH OR A LOTION WOULD WORK.
HONESTLY, THE CONTAINER WOULD PROBABLY BE THE LEAST OF A HASSLE THOUGH.
YOU'D JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A WAY TO TURN IT OFF AND SHIT, OTHERWISE WE'D BE OUT FOR A REALLY FUCKING LONG TIME.
OR, AT LEAST I WOULD.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE HAD SOPOR, SO I'M HONESTLY NOT SURE HOW I'M GOING TO REACT.

Curious that you wwould showw interest.

I'vve noticed the others havve neglected an important detail regarding moirailegiance.

[ The troll with purple text again. He won't try to filter the conversation yet, no. He prefers to remind the other low bloods that the high bloods serve a very important function. One they shouldn't neglect to mention again. ]
