“My name is Kolarabi.”
She inspected Skvaada. Another “highblood”, she thought, I’m surrounded by hierarchy. Kolarabi looked at the troll’s hair.
“Where can I choose my colors? I can’t wait for my hair to be dyed.”
She clapped with glee.
“Oh I brought over some of my favorite romance movies, we can watch those later.”
Kolarabi stepped inside and looked around. The hive had a nice feel to it. But of course it was nice because of wealth. She still really liked the place. -
-Zembra looked over, hearing the new friend speaking of wanting her hair dyed. She giggled and clapped her hands at hearing she brought movies too. Perfect~! She walked over and placed out a hand, “Hey~! I am Zembra. I have all the hair dye colors set out on the table~! For the movies, if you see the television with the inserts that say home and guest, place them into the guest side. I special programmed it so it can shift through the movies inside of it and give back the ones it wants out of request. But the home ones have a binary password on them.”
She smiled and giggled a little bit, looking down to see her jealous lesus preparing to ram again. She looked up and yelled, “Evveryone brace!”
The lesus would bonk itself headfirst against the glass again, aiming for the strange new friend but proved once more unable to break through. She looked down at the glass and yelled at the lusus, “IT’S ANOTHER FRIEND! DAMNIT!”-

Kolarabi was happy to meet two new trolls. She place the movies by the guest spot. She flipped through many titles. She finally found her most favorite one. She inserted it in, and proceeded to the table. She froze as Zembra yelled embrace. She looked down at the terrifying creature coming at her. Even thought Kolarabi was well aware of the glass, it seemed as if the shark-like lusus would com her hole. THUD! The lusus bumped into the glass. The crash caused her to get knocked to the ground. She landed head first at the glass, falling backwards. The blow was hurtful, but she dare not to cry. Not in front of these two strong trolls, especially Skvaada.
-
Romance movies? Skvaada normally didn’t watch those, were they like action movies but…no action? She furrowed her brow a bit trying to imagine how such a plot could work. Where would the tension and conflict and ultimate climax come from if there wasn’t any action? “Oh, Kolarabi, was it? Would you like something to eat? The highblood here apparently only has kelp and fish so I brought some mixed snacks.” Before she knew it, that darn shark was attacking again. The indigo blooded troll had just enough warning to brace herself before the shark attacked. The thud was jarring, certainly enough to catch her off balance. She was gaining confidence in the strength of the plexiglass, since the shark had been repeatedly repelled.
Skvaada gave a good natured giggle of amusement at the new troll, Kolarabi as she got flung backwards by the impact of Zembra’s charging lusus. Well, this proved that Kolarabi was of a lower blood caste instead of possibly one of Zembra’s friends pretending to be lower. The tremor of such attacks had barely even fazed her, but she was sure that highbloods were stronger and more violent than the lesser breeds. It must be terrible to be a lowblood. Although normally she would have been ashamed to have fallen down like Kolarabi had just done, she had to keep in mind that the new troll just was a lower blood caste, and thus weaker and couldn’t possibly be expected to live up to highblood standards.
“Oh drat, Kolarabi, are you alright? I forgot you were low on the hemospectrum for a moment. Is your head okay? I can’t really remember how much damage your type can take.”
-
Kolarabi shivered a little. She didn’t know how many times the indigo-blood said “high-blood” or “low-blood”. She wanted to take her sickles and chop Skvaada’s head off. But she knew not all people believed in the same things she believed in. And the fact that Skvaada said “your type” like she was some animal made her want to cry in a corner. Obviously she wouldn’t want to act like that around “stronger” people. Kolarabi decided to just be as calm and polite as she could.
“Yeah, I’m okay. I prefer you not to mention my blood color. I kind of don’t like to be considered in the lower class”
Kolarabi said that like she was fading away into a dark place, hiding her real emotions.
“What type of snacks did you bring?”
She said, trying to change the subject. Honestly, she regretted coming to her friend’s hive. The one she barely talked to. Usually she didn’t talk to “higher” bloods. She was either nervous or angry. Mostly every “high-blood” on the planet are snobs about how they’re better than more common bloods. Of course, being the only candy red blood left on the planet, Kolarabi felt embarrassed to show her color, yet she loved it so much. She Only wore it on her torso, like many rusty bloods. -
-Zembra made sure not to fall over and heard the conversation and consideration and shook her head. “Blood color doesn’t matter with my Lusus. He can knock over pretty much anyone. Used to givve me some nasty wwounds too!” She walked over to Kolarabi and smiled. She started checking out her hair nearly immidiately. “What colors would you like? I have the entire hemospectrum to pick from and more! You don’t even need to choose your own color. Skvaada put all of the colors in mine. I put some of the most scandalous in hers~! How scandelous do you wanna go?” She winked and giggled. “I personally think you would look fabulous with fuchsia in the front and a fade out through the hemospectrum with your natural hair in the back. What you think?”-
-
“AMPORA!” Kyria screamed while vigorously punching the door “IT’S MARYAM!YOU DID NOT ANSWERED MY MESSAGE SO…SINCE I WAS PASSING CLOSE I DECIDED TO COME HERE AND SEE IF YOU ARE OKAY!” she bit her lip for she knew very well the terrors running throughout the Alternian seas “I Stated In Trollian A While Ago That I Would Be Coming Hope She Is Alright” with that thoughts in mind she entered the Hive “YOU MADE ME FELL VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOU!” she entered the hive screaming those words like a Flight Broad when suddenly she acknowledge Kolarabi “Jegus Kolarabi What I Told You About Leaving Your Hive Alone?” Kyria also was trying for some time to be Kolarabi moirallegiance and protector, she hoped that the girl would be the next troll jegus “W8 What Are Those? Romance Movies?” her cheeks turned into small Jade stones “Is That A Indigo Blood W-W-W-With Pink Strips?!” her whole head was a big Jade stone “Oh My…” that was enough she broke down falling paralyzed on the floor if one could hear thoughts he would listen to Troll R.Kelly “My mind is telling me nooooo, but my body is telling me yeeess!” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtVyEZymUFo)

Kolarabi looked at Zembra.
“Yes the fuchsia idea is great! I’m not that good with hair.”
She got up and brushed off her sweater-vest. Luckily the blow didn’t make her bleed. The only troll who knew her blood was Kyria.
“Kyria!”
Kolarabi said as she hugged Kyria.
“I’m glad your here! I was getting a little uncomfortable with these “high-bloods”.”
She whispered. She didn’t want to hurt their feelings, she just met them. As much as Kyria treated Kolarabi like a little grub, Kyria was her closest friend. Perhaps her first. It was almost like one jade-blood would defy them all at the brooding caverns, just for a particular troll. The candy-red blood. But obviously that’s just what it seems like.
“Here I brought your favorite romance movie. A rom-com staring Troll Jim Carrey… Well you know the title, and I don’t feel like reading it out to you. You wanna watch it after we watch this one?” -
Fiddlesticks, I just wanted to make sure she wasn’t hurt. I didn’t mean to upset her, Skvaada thought rather sadly as Kolarabi responded cooly, clearly offended by the mention of the hemospectrum. She had always praised herself on being more tolerant than her ancestor about such matters, but it was clear she still had a long way to go to avoid ruffling any feathers.
“Sorry about that,” she mumbled, a guilty expression on her face as Zembra rushed over and expertly smoothed over the damage deals with hair talk. “You really would look great,” the indigo blood responded, trying to not let the argument ruin the sleep-over party.
She was just about to decaptchalogue her snacks when a new troll appeared outside the hive, bellowing loudly.
“So uncouth,” Skvaada muttered distastefully to herself even as her pointed ears perked up curiously, as the troll barged into the hive. Barging into another troll’s hive, of all the audacity! She could feel herself grow a little flustered as the newcomer, a jade blooded troll quickly grew overwhelmed with the casual yet scandalous party. Were these “romance” movies really so scandalous? D-Did she really have to stare at her hair like that? A nervous tint of indigo passed across Skvaada’s face.
Skvaada was snapped out of her brief moment of embarassment when “Maryam” promptly keeled over onto the floor. Did that mean the pink stripes were good or a no go? She couldn’t really decipher the jadeblood’s facial expression.
“…That was hawkward, I mean awkward…” She inwardly berated herself. Those dratted bird puns just tended to come out when she got nervous. At least she wasn’t sweating puddles yet. Since Kolarabi’s response made it clear that “Maryam” was here to stay for the moment at least. She might as well formally introduce herself.
“Please, you may call me Skvaada. Are you here to get your hair dyed too Miss…Maryam was it?”
-
The only thing preventing her to fall on the floor again was Kolarabi’s hug “Oh Dear…” by the time Kolarabi ended greeting she regained control over her lower members “Sorry I Was Not Here Earlier My Dear 8ut You Could At Least Have Told Me You Were Coming To Ampora’s Hive And I Would Gladly Take You Here With My Ship” she shyly look at Kolarabi’s eyes “You Do Not Have To Do Everything On Your Own Kola…” her cheeks were getting jade green again when she heard the Blue Blood greeting her “please R.Kelly go away” she thought but it was already too late, the irons were burning hot “I Do Not Think It Is Alr8 For A No8le In Your Position To Dye Her Hair In Such Disregard To Hemospectrum 8ut That Is Fine…” she smirks while getting close the only thing she could think was a strange song (which by puuureee coincidence happened to be her theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqD7iukuMYY) while her soft hands reached for Skyaada’s waist, she could fell that the woman was trembling and sweating “Oh My You Do Not Need To 8e So Excited ;;;D” she kissed her cheek “It Will Be Over Soon…” as her mouth reach for Skyaada’s neck some kind of mechanism triggered in her head “NO!” she screamed while pushing Skyaada away quickly putting her hands in front of her mouth to hide the fangs “I-I-I Am So Sorry My Ancestors Blood Did Not Mixed Very Well And…” she felt the urge to cry and quickly reached for a corner to hide her face “Why I Am Such A Monster?” she muttered while a wide flow of Jade water fell from her eyes
-
Kolarabi put her hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye.
“You are not a monster! It’s not your fault!”
Though she had fear in her eyes, she spoke sternly.
“Just think about other things… Oh my… y-your glowing again.”
She backed away slowly, frightened. -
“My Crew Deserted Me…” Kyria put up a crooked smile while searching for something in her pockets “They Were Afr8 I Would Eventually Prey On Them” she finally finds a little box of chocolate flavored lusus milk to carve her fangs on “Soon I Will 8e Marked As Some Kind Of Monster Who Roam The Seas” her color was returning to normal and her eyes where a mixture of dead and resignation “My Lusus Is Dead, My Friends Are Dead Or Gone, Everything Just 8ecause I Am Too Proud To Recognize That The Trollkind Is Unsalva8le” she wipe out her tears “Piracy, Rape, Arson, Slavery, Assassination, Saw It All Hunted The Perpetrators And Consumed Their Blood” she tried to force a smile but ended up hurting her lip, a thin trail of jade blood fell through her chin “…I Am Pathetic”
-
The rebuke of her outrageous hair dye color choice made the indigo blood blink with surprise. Not only had she met someone else who seemed to care about the hemospectrum, but Kyria was absolutely right: she was behaving incredibly improperly just for the fun of it. But what was more thrilling? Acting scandalously or getting chastised for said behavior? She was about to respond asking just what if anything Kyria planned to do about it when the jade-blood smirked deviously and pulled her closer. Oh fudge blast it all, now she couldn’t even get away without potentially causing some bruises or worse. Not that she really thought she was capable of doing more than squeak in surprise before falling into a stunned stupor.
Once she came to, the reality of what had nearly occurred hit her. Kyria was a rainbow drinker! The indigo blood shivered a bit, heart continuing to race at the thought that she had succumbed to her deviousness so easily and been just a hair’s breadth from getting bitten instead of–no, that thought was getting shelved immediately! She pulled a handkerchief out from her captachalogue and dabbed at her face, while trying to contain her rage at getting nearly attacked. This gave her the opportunity to listen to Kolarabi talk and hear Kyria’s story. Well, it was hard to stay angry after a tale like that. And it sounded like Kyria didn’t prey on innocents. But even if she didn’t mean to be a monster, her very existence was dangerous to other trolls! No matter how much control she may have over her thirst, just one tiny slip up and—hhrk. That sounded familiar. … Sweet Jegus, Kyria looked miserable.
Skvaada added, “You have Kolarabi, you made them pay and you are still alive to the tale after so many unspeakable horrors. Those are all quite admirable accomplishments. But–,” she trailed off for a moment, hesitating before continuing with a slightly mischievous smile, “you ARE definitely pathetic. You have a more than adequate amount of pathos. “
-
Kolarabi looked at Skvaada. It seemed she was trying her best to not let out her rage. It was obvious to Kolarabi that she wanted to punch someone. She looked back at Kyria.
“Look, we just need a breather, and watch some crappy romance movies. Ok? Zembra, you can do my hair during the movie.”
She sat down before the television set. She waved everyone to come over. She didn’t want to have a big emotional mess. -
“8ut I…” her face turned Jade Green as she shyly looks away “I Am A Sim8ol What People Will Think Of Me If I Appear With Dyed Hair Or If They Know I Spent A Whole Day Watching Crappy Movies?” then she shyly looks at the DVD pile “You Do Not Happen To Have Anything With Troll Nicolas Cage There Do You?”
