Whoah there, 1 th1ng at a t1me here! You like the suggestion of what to do f1rst, so you go ahead and plop those FABRIC SLICENERS into your STRIFE DECK along with your other IMPLEMENTS OF CUTTIFICATION, since of course your strife specibus is already allocated with the scissorkind abstrata!

[PersonPerson]

Kay, now search the hive.

Laresi: Gather bottles of blood and sell them saying that they are magical potions.



Why would you do that? Obviously you already gather bottles of COPIOUS QUANTITIES of troll blood, but attempting to sell them as magical potions seems like the most absurdly stupid idea you've ever come up with, and you begin to hate yourself ever so slightly for even thinking it. F1rst of all, magic is totally fake and nothing will ever change that.

There's no second of all. Second sucks.

Anyway, you use your RAINBOW-HUED STOCKPILE to dye fabrics! You zip into your STITCHING BLOCK, where much of this dying (and most of the killing) takes place to see if you might have stashed the bells you're seeking somewhere in there, but it looks like they're nowhere to be found. If they're not in your respiteblock and they aren't in here, that leaves just the NUTRITIONBLOCK, the LAWNRING, or the LUSUS HOLE.

Which one should you search next?

Holes are always good! Look int he lusus hole

[Vaporstrike]

Dip your hand in blood and put handprints on the olive fabric. Handprints are always in style.

While you're in the stitching block, you're suddenly struck by the inspiration to splash a little blood on your hands and do some impromptu fabric-patterning. It's always a good idea to keep up with the current trends, and apparently handprints are always in style. This vial of red blood will do the trick.

Ooh, and maybe some brown, too. This is a very good idea to be doing right now.

> You now what else is in style write now? Handprint gobble-beasts.

Look at this mess. All this blood and fabric is stirring dark feelings within. You often fantasize about being a true finger painter from your imagination. It would be a life of darting between the canvases, of introspection and being misunderstood. And of COLORS! You would paint messily on the drab walls of your hive, and the hemospectrum would be your palette preceding the great painting of passion.

Surely it couldn't hurt. While no one is looking...

[Vaporstrike]

Stop what you are doing and put the bodies and heads of the trolls back together but mismatch them. Then continue with your strange fantasies.

[Naristar]

Indulge yourself....self portait time!

[uranianUmbra]

====->



You quickly demonstrate your incredible skill at fingerpainting. As your brightly-colored hands fly across the drab hive wall, you transform the boring stone into a riotous masterpiece of colors!

You are so skilled at this. Everybody should probably praise you for how fantastic you are being.

In fact, you should tell someone about this right away so they can start realizing how great you are.

[uranianUmbra]

Laresi: Troll your matesprit. Surely she will want to know all about this!



What a marvelous idea. You think you will get right on that! You whip out your CELLULAR HUSKPHONE. Unlike all of your friends who are clambering to get their grubby hands on the latest model, you recognize that the best version is whatever one came FIRST, and you have continued to use the same reliable and well-worn HUSKPHONE you got on your FIRST-EVER WRIGGLING DAY. You rub the grime off of the camera end and snap a picture to send to your MATESPRIT, a troll who you know pities you like, so much. There is definitely a lot of legitimate and very real affection there, for sure.
