[Psii has never shown face on network before. Has concluded doing so now is marginally less embarrassing than having to describe similarities between self and imposters, as would be necessary to supply context for text post. This way, other imports to Death City can see mismatched eyes and mustard-yellow t-shirt (this one with honeycomb pattern) for selves, and draw appropriate conclusion.]

Don't know exactly how attackers got powers that rightfully belong to self. But am sorry for trouble they caused.

Does anyone know how they were able to mimic?

[private to Amaterasu]

Want to level up. Would you like to go on mission?

Not everyone thought was acceptable. But was way things had always been. Thought was only one who considered it wrong until met SS.

Know that witches here have souls. Sounds as if they are less violent in your universe.

SS? [A friend of his, she assumes...]

[He might notice a hesitation as she decides how much to say....There weren't really witches who could use magic. As I said, it originally referred to female healers. Nowadays, it's associated with those who practice the religion of Wicca.

SS is what call Signless.

[He absorbs this information, frowning slightly as fits data together.]

Don't know what Wicca is.

Oh. Disciple's husband?

Practices vary but the Wiccans I knew were peace-and-nature-loving. They liked to gather to thank the Goddesses and eat baked goods. Celebrate holidays and positive things. [She'll omit that Bronwyn's coven helped her exorcise demons a couple of times.]

Correct.

Wiccans don't sound like witches at all. Isn't being magic user pre-requisite?

[She shakes her head.] They might perform certain rituals they refer to as spells or magic in hopes of influencing things. But it's not as if they can fly around on brooms or point a wand and make things instantly change as the movies might have you believe. [Magic is usually much more subtle in her world.]

Have only seen one human movie. It had much more singing than real life, and no witches. That know of.

[Suspects most of these Wiccans don't actually have powers.]

Sounds like it was a musical. I haven't seen many movies myself but since they're fiction, they're not likely to reflect reality well.

Yes. Did not find it very realistic. But was helping Dii with concept of human wedding.

I see. Y'all weren't familiar with the idea of weddings?

No. Troll relationships are very different from human ones. Still find idea of having only one romantic partner very strange.

Oh. You mean something like polygamy...? [Well, this is a bit awkward. She's had a few boyfriends over the years but one at a time is considered the decent way to go about it.]

Not quite. Troll relationships fall into four quadrants. Two are... non-platonic.

[He means 'sexual and reproductive in nature,' and flushes faintly as usual when describes them.]

One is like human love, other is very strong hate. Other two are like human best friend, and like mediator in flushed--romantic--relationships. Is expected that adult troll will have partner for each quadrant.

[Okay, that sounded a bit more reasonable but...]

You're expected to have someone like a worst enemy? But I don't see how that would be considered romantic...

Should give disclaimer that don't have any first-hand experience.

[That he'll admit to, anyway. Is still not sure what Empress should be counted as, and would rather not count her at all.]

Best way know to describe it is: trolls believe in fated enemy the way humans seem to believe in fated mate. Are wired differently, in way that means enemy stirs up... certain feelings.

[His cheeks are definitely bright yellow by now.]

Okay, that does sound rather odd compared to humans... I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

[Is that yellow tinge the troll equivalent of blushing? It's kind of awkward for her too so she'll excuse herself. Lily isn't sure if she wants to think too much about the mechanics of troll breeding!]

Well, it was nice talking to you, Psii, but I reckon I'd better go start on dinner. Excuse me...

[Video] Hmm... I'm running short on ideas for this thread. Should we wrap it up soon?

[Video] Works for me!
