Chapter Text
You walk out the door and realize you never looked at your friends replies in the group chat! You open up that bad boy and take a look.
No replies!
That's kind of disheartening, it's been two days since you last contacted them. You hope they're not mad…
Oh wait they messaged you individually. That's a relief, you can text them while you look for new friends!
The last to text you was Ardata, may as well get to her first.
“That was a lovely piiicture, iiive been told that your new friiiends a fellow star?” That was right after you sent the selfie
“Helllo?” That was fifteen minutes after
“Goodness friiiend someone must teach you better manners.” That was two hours later
“iii guess you're a biiit busy, good day then” That was at ten am.
“Good dusk” That was at seven pm.
“What the fuck could you even be doiiing?” It's funny she sent that as you started eating shelled meat product ringer and getting high.
“Hello?” An hour later.
“friiiend?” Ten minutes later.
Fuck!!! You need to keep up with your friends better! You didn't mean to ignore her, you just got caught up with troll vaping.
“What?” The reply was instant. You wonder if shes ever troll vaped, maybe it could help with the stress!
“No, iii have no desiiire to put bug ass in my mouth.” Oh damn, you thought that it was like a regular socially acceptable thing like vaping on earth, guess it's a weird thing to do?
“Muwahahahaha, really?”
“Friiiend, you truly beliiieved that we all just iiingest as much bug gas as possiiible?” Well obviously not! You just thought it was a normal thing! Or at least common enough to be socially acceptable.
“Oh plenty of trolls do iiit, but iiits certaiiinly weiiird” Oh.
Well anyway what has she been up to!
“Oh me? Just siiitiiing around the hiiive, diiid a few streams, just the usual.” Haha yeah, that's Ardata for you!
Oh geez this is awkward, you're gonna go talk to someone else.
Amisia messaged you a bit as well.
“hey i can't believe youu're friends with another streamer” This one was right after the selfie
“hey i know youu're probably buusy buut look at this thing I did” It’s an okay drawing of troll Bugs bunny. It's not good, but it's pretty okay! She's clearly a natural at drawing.
“thanks I know, youure idea really helped” Oh fuck you helped, you're deliriously happy, you might cry. Holy shit. You helped. You helped!!!!
“hello?” Oh fuck you got so distracted by the pure bliss of being useful to a friend that you didn't reply. Apparently it was ten minutes.
Anyway you hope she keeps drawing and also sending you pictures of it!
“hell yeah”
“oh I have to go, another friend of mine has brought me a present” Oh okay, guess you can talk to her later.
She doesn't reply so there's your chance to text Diemen back. He only sent you two messages, both right after the selfie.
“(| they look fun |)”
“(| hope you're having a good time |)” Hell yeah you're having an awesome day! You made some food, saw some shopping carts and you've officially talked to all your friends!
It takes a few minutes for the reply. “(| that's awesome man |)”
Yeah it is!
“(| where you heading now |)” That's a good question, where are you heading next? You look up to see if there's any nearby trolls.
There is not any nearby trolls, this is because you're in the middle of a fucking desert! What the fuck how does that even happen!!!
“(| how did you get in the desert |)” That's what you're wondering! You switch to the group chat and give them the low down.
“how the fuuck did you get in the desert?”
“More iiimportantly why diiid you go to the fuckiiing desert?”
You don't know! You were just walking!
“(| how do you just walk into the desert |)”
You don't know you just fucking do it!!!
Oh shit you think the sun is coming up.
“the suun is definitely coming uup!” You're starting to smell burning flesh through Cirava’s clothes. Fuck!
Okay you think you see a light off in the distance. Hell yes, you're running as fast as you can towards that.
Once you get close someone gets you in their arms and pulls you in a building. You feel a sensation like a dog licking you and the troll talks to whatever just did that.
You're eyes come into focus and a long haired girl stands in front of you. She's tall with big horns, soft but muscular and probably brown blooded given the amount she's wearing. Could this be your next friend?
[this is the part with the canon friendsim stuff just go play it if you want a refresher]
The answer turned out to be yes! The two of you got in big shenanigans leading you two lying naked in her bed. Apparently this stuff is supposed to help you heal you're burn wounds faster. You don't get it, but she called you her best friend so you're not going to question anything she says.
“Heyy pal, you alright over there?” Yeah you're fine! You're great!
“Whyy all the wigglin around then?” Oh were you wiggling? All you were doing is living in the joy of a new friend and being very aware of how you are wearing no clothes.
“Oh yyeah, well just dont think of it like that alright? I reckon I'll just get cozy and take myyself a rest.” You love having new friends, but wow that country twang is a bit much to handle. Whatever you'll take her advice and just nap.
You rest and are treated to a lovely nightmare in which you're back at Amisia’s hive and she orders you to kill an oliveblood. You fail, theres blood everywhere, you've been forcefully removed from Amisias hive.
You wake up gasping for breath, naked and alone in Skyllas recuperacoon. You need to find your phone.
You scramble out and look through the tattered, burned remains of Ciravas clothes. You cant see the palm husk anywhere, you need it though. You need to get to Amisia, you need to know that everything's okay.
“Buddyy?” You whip your head around swiftly. Does she know? Did they take it somewhere? They must've, they must've.
“Yyeah we saw yyour palmhusk lyyin there and didnt want yya to step on it.” She needs to give it back.
“Yyou alright pal?” No! She just needs to give it back, if she just gives you the palm husk you'll be fine!
“Alright, alright let's settle down now friend ladyy’s gettin it for yyou” The big white dog drops it down on your lap and a wave of relief washes over you. You check your messages. There’s too many messages to read from all four of your friends. So many that the writer isn't even going to type any.
You click on the first place you see Amisia’s name. You type out a message searching for her.
“Friiiend!!!”
“(| oh fuck finally |)”
It's just Dieman and Ardata, it must be the group chat, you need Amisia.
“Yeah iiit's great to hear from you too!”
“yeah what the fuck man dont make me agree with carmia”
You dont know and don't care what they mean by that, you need Amisia!!
“dude just dm her”
Finally someone says something useful!!! They send something after that but you don't care. It's Amisia time.
She doesnt reply, what if you're dream is true, maybe she really isn't your friend. You scroll up and look at her drawing, it's a reminder that you two are friends. Even if it was fake and she hates you now or whatever. This sucks!!!
Suddenly there's an arm around you.
“Heyy cmon pal, what's goin on?” Skylla says in a sympathetic southern drawl. You can't deal with this right now, you need Amisia.
“Who's Amisia?” She wont reply! You need to hear from her.
Skylla starts rubbing your shoulder and grabs your phone. Hey! You need that!
“No yyou don't, c'mon let's get some food in yya” Did she just switch from you to ya in the same sentence????
“Sure did!” She says cheerily. You're still shaking, you don't care about that, where's the damn phone!
“Don’t yyou worry about that now, I didnt make all this food for nothing!" She drags you into the kitchen and plops you down on a chair. There actually is quite a bit of food, but notably there's nothing that looks like meat. You think this is the first time that's happened since you crashed, at least in a real meal.
"Yyeah, I dont eat meat" she replies while setting the silverware in front of you. Hold on, the cowgirl is a vegan!!
"Heyy pal, I have no idea what those words mean." She says in the gentlest way possible before pouting ladyy some food in her bowl.
Oh! You guess the troll word is moo beast girl? You think you saw the phrase "moo beast milk" at the grocery store. You really hope that meant cow milk, you have know idea what the alternative would be and kind of don't want to.
"That's just honeyy now eat yyour meal." Oh right. Sorry! You get side tracked easily.
"I've noticed" She replies with a smirk before eating her own dinner.
The rest of the meal goes on in silence. It's a nice comfortable silence with Skylla looking up every few seconds to make sure you're still eating.
After the meal is over, Skylla takes you to get dressed. She offers you some clothes from when she was a "wriggler" you're sure you've heard that term, but you'll be fucked if you remember when.
Anyway you end up in an all black ensemble, black shorts, black t shirt black sandals. Just, a whole lot of black.
"Yyeah, back then I slept later and thought working into the morning would be easier with less coverage."
She winces before continuing, "I was wrong."
Yeah, this outfit definitely would retain a lot of heat. It would probably be fine if it were a lighter color though? Come to think of it, no one on Alternia seems to have worn white since you've been here.
Trolls are so fucking weird.
Skylla laughs in agreement before informing you that she has, like actual farm work to do. Wild, a real country girl. She apparently runs the whole farm on her own and insists that you not help.
Her and lady get right to it and leave you texting your other friends until you fall asleep on her couch.
