Reread log. 102

Last time we met Aradia Megido. A troll with very powerful telekinetic powers. Despite her powers though she seems completely without emotions, desires, or memories. Aradia gives off ethereal vibes and can hear the dead. We start today off with a look at arachnidsGrip [AG]. AG has glasses with one lens being solid, one robotic arm, fangs and blue makeup. But this is all we get. Apparently we the readers are not cool enough to learn more about this character. For now they are just arachnidsGrip [AG].

Sollux pesters Aradia. She is floating just outside his window but he doesn't know this. Sollux apologises for freaking out on her. He says he doesn't mind not being the leader, he just wants to play the game. Aradia informs him that he won’t be playing the game yet. She tells him to look out his window. Before Sollux can even see her she snaps him into an instant sleep with her powers. He passes out right into the mind honey. Sollux wakes up much later. We're told he has dreams of visions that will help guide his allies. He’s now the last to log in and needs to log into Karkats server. We see his lusus is still fine but there is an intense meteor shower occurring all around him. Upon awakening he accidentally consumed some of the mind honey he had passed out onto. This causes his eyes to shoot intensely powerful laser beams Cyclops style. This destroys everything above him, likely vaporizing his lusus.

Now we are the cat-troll living in a cave. We'd seen this character briefly before but didn't get an introduction. Safe to assume this is arsenicCatnip [AC], her real name is Nepeta Leijon. She has cat-like facial features. Pretty much the :3 face, with fangs. She's wearing a blue hood, a blue tail, and an oversized green jacket. She lives in a cave and likes roleplay. She empathizes that she likes “Friendly” roleplay. Not the dangerous kind that gets people hurt. But she also likes to hunt large beasts with nothing more than her claws and fangs. Her cave's littered with the blood and corpses of her kills. She uses the blood to paint “wall comics”. Her claw gloves are her primary clawkind weapons. Her lusus is a large 2 mouthed cat sleeping in the corner named Pounce De Leon. Nepeta seems aware of her lusus’s fate, but not when it will happen. But we're shown it’ll be a cave-in. I am not sure we are always shown the fates of lusus in this way. But, it isn't surprising to see weird time skips and flash forwards at this point. Though they're written like they are from someone's perspective. Karkat pesters Nepeta. He reluctantly role plays with her to recruit her into the red team. He refers to her as the “autistic girl”. As if he and every bloody character in this thing isn't neurotypical in some way. Karkat, Terezi, Gamzee And Tavros are already in the game. He needs her to log in from Travos and wants grimAuxiliatrix [GA] to log in from her. But, much like when Terezi tried to recruit her she says she needs to talk to someone first. Karkat's annoyed by this but can't actually do much about it.

That guy is a troll we've yet to meet. centaursTesticle [CT]. They choose that name for themselves. We’ve only seen this guys creepy silhouette. This was during the scene where grimAuxiliatrix [GA] removes Travos’s legs with a chainsaw. We can learn a lot about this guy from this conversation. He’s not at all receptive to Nepeta’s roleplaying. He seems to be all business and always fully serious. He’s also a classist as blood color seems to determine a trolls class. Also their text colors seem to represent their blood colors. He accuses Nepeta of having "loosened morals" for having “fraternized with the base classes”. Nepeta doesn't care about blood color or classes. Nepeta mentions that CT uses a bow. Also CT has seemingly no idea how to actually use a bow. This means Nepeta is actually a better hunter as he is. She's actually taking out large prey with nothing more than her claws. CT apparently is against killing beasts as he venerates them.

CT claims Aradia and him have made a deal that he will co-lead the blue team. It seems she’d made this deal with everyone on that team. The collective ego’s of everyone on that team just seem to have made that possible. Nepeta tells him she will be joining the red team. This really seems to upset CT. He claims she is too delicate to associate with base blooded hooligans. Painfully Nepeta obeys CT’s demands and lets Travos know she can't join the red team. Travos is ok with this. He mentions this happened during the dangerous role player event that caused his injury. So perhaps it's better that Nepeta stays with the blue team.
