♉ 008 [ >Tavros: Forever abscond. | video ]

[The video opens up on what some might recognize as Tavros' respiteblock, otherwise known as a troll's bedroom. Everything within it--including the cards, stuffed animals, and odd-looking balls strewn about--is tinted in orange-brown, similar to the color of Tavros' font.

The camera angle affords a view of the floor. There doesn't appear to be any sign of the troll, and it stays that way for some time. Anyone who cares to watch long enough, though, will eventually be treated to the vision of Tavros gliding into frame from behind wherever the camera is located.

That's right. Gliding. Or flying, if you prefer!

He lands in the middle of the floor, back to the camera, wearing a gold, pyjama-like outfit that should be recognizable to most trolls. After a moment, he sits on the floor and drags his apparently fully-functional legs to his chest, rests his head on his knees, and sighs.]

Um... Tavros-san? *stares into the screen*

[Tavros' ears twitch ever so slightly. He glances over his shoulder with a frown, his brow furrowed. After a moment, he gets to his hands and knees and crawls closer to the camera, until he's kneeling before it. The camera appears to be placed on a platform of sorts, as he's now at eye level with it, peering curiously.]

*steps back and waves* The community posted this...

[blinks] ...Oh wow, it did? But, that's kind of weird...

It posts a lot of things that people don't want to be posted.

Well, I know that, but. I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming? Or I thought I was, anyway...

There was a virus that posted people's dreams, so it's possible.

Oh. Wow. That's kind of, uh... really distressing, in a way. I mean, I suppose I don't mind very much, at the moment, but I would hate to see anything like a normal dream show up on the community...

Do you have bad dreams?

Well, nothing unusual, or anything such as that. It's just, uh... well, you know how dreams are like, right? Kind of violent and, my recuperacoon is shaped... sort of awkwardly, so, uh. Yeah. They don't get to be subdued, at all? And I'd rather not have to experience them twice...

I like these dreams, uh, way, way better.

I don't usually have violent dreams, though.

Oh. You don't? Oh, but you must be able to sleep in your recuperacoon okay, right? And the sopor slime or, whatever the human equivalent might be, probably subdues them, so you don't remember.

I don't really know what either of those things are... is it like a bed?

Well... I guess that could be another way to call it, although I've only ever used that term when referring to animals. Such as... my horsaroni enjoys sleeping on a bed of grass, and such?

Do humans sleep on things like that?

Oh, no, we don't sleep in grass! It's more like... um, here, let me move the camera. *She awkwardly moves around the early-2000s webcam to show a bed with a fluffy green bedspread and a bunch of stuffed animals on it.* These are composed of a metal or wooden frame supporting a large mat stuffed with cotton and springs, although sometimes it's stuffed with foam instead now that they're coming out with those sorts of things. I wondered why I didn't see one in your room.

[peering at the screen with interest] Oh, wow. That's, er...

How do you get in it? Or, do you just lie on top of it...

Um, well, you pull down the top layers and get under that! What do you do?

[blinks] Oh. I guess that makes sense, um... hang on...

[He sits up and moves the camera to the right, bringing a large, pupae-like object into view. There's a ramp leading to the top of it.]

That's my recuperacoon, or 'bed', I guess, except we sleep inside of it. It's filled with sopor slime, to keep our dreams subdued.

...How do you breathe in it?

Uhh, well... [He turns the camera back to its original location] We just do? We're sort of, you know, adapted for it. Although, uhh, I haven't really had to deal with breathing in it for a while, so...

[/awkward turtle]

Like how I can breathe in the water?

Sort of like that, I guess? Although, maybe that would be more similar to how aquatic trolls breathe in the water, because land-dwelling trolls can't. So, er, I guess it's not really all that similar...

I guess not. It's still strange to think about how I'm not the only one like me in some other world, I should admit.

Oh, but it's a good thing, isn't it? It's nice to know you're not alone. At least, that's how I think...

Has that happened to you? With, um, other people who can command animals, or something like that?
