[clapifyoubullieve]

uMM, tINKERBULL IS MY LUSUS,

aND, fIDUSPAWN IS A GAME WHERE YOU, uHH,
uSE CARDS TO CATCH AND TRAIN ANIMALS AND THEN, bREED THEM,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So it's a nickname?

[clapifyoubullieve]

yEAH, yOU COULD CALL IT THAT,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What's his real name?

[clapifyoubullieve]

oH, uM,
hE DOESN'T, rEALLY HAVE ONE,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh. Is that common for your lususes?

[clapifyoubullieve]

sOME OF THEM, yES,
a LOT OF THEM ARE JUST, cALLED BY WHAT THEY ARE,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So you just call them Lusus?

[clapifyoubullieve]

nOT, eXACTLY,
uMM,
i MEAN, kANAYA'S LUSUS IS A VIRGIN MOTHER GRUB, sO, uHH,
tHAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So how do you call them what they are, if you don't call them lususes?

[clapifyoubullieve]

uHH, i THINK,
i'M SORT OF CONFUSED, aBOUT WHAT YOU'RE, uM, aSKING,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You said that they don't have names, and that you just call them what they are-- but you don't call them lususes. Is it that "virgin mother grub" is the name of a species, and "lusus" isn't?

[clapifyoubullieve]

uMM, oK,
vIRGIN MOTHER GRUB IS A, uHH, tYPE OF LUSUS, aND,
sO IS A BICYCLOPS, wHICH, i THINK, iS sOLLUX'S LUSUS,
aND SOME LUSII HAVE NAMES, sUCH AS,

uHH,

wELL, i CAN'T THINK OF ANY RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, bUT, uHH,

dOES THAT HELP,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes. I had assumed that "lusus" was the name of a species from the way that you talked about them.

[clapifyoubullieve]

iT IS, bUT,
uMM,
i THINK, pOSSIBLY i'M NOT EXPLAINING THIS RIGHT,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So there are... species within the species? Like breeds?

[clapifyoubullieve]

yES,
i GUESS, yOU COULD SAY IT LIKE THAT,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[clapifyoubullieve]

yES, uMM,
wELL i'M GLAD, wE COULD CLEAR THAT UP,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes. This place brings a lot of misunderstandings, even minor ones.

[clapifyoubullieve]

yEAH, i THINK,
tHAT'S PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MANY CULTURES, uMM,
mINGLE,
bUT, i THINK IT'S INTERESTING,
