Because I think I know how to write better now, I'll be completely unpublishing my short stories book [because everything is Old and Crusty] and just splitting off with a newer book for my Identity V fanfiction. I have a new one of those for upload today after all. 
          	It will, of course, only be unpublished so I can republish it if necessary, but for now that's what I'm comfortable with doing.
          	Thank you for your continued support.

sometimes I wonder where the community went on this app.
          ever since wattpad premium was introduced and ads came in and everything *changed*, so did the people on it. it says I have 300+ followers, but everything's so dead around me and has been for quite a few years.
          it's like visiting a grave.
          call me dramatic all you want, but I've been on this site for seven odd years and I just don't know what happened. I want so badly to have a reason to be here, to find joy and community, but I don't.
          maybe I'm just a silly little roleplayer and hobby writer, but it all means/meant so much to me. I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't met some of my friends here, but I don't really see hope to make more.
          Of course I won't leave, I have too many memories, but it hurts.

" hEy, Uh .... KiD, " the lanky troll piped up as he appeared from behind lucy as she walked down the sidewalk of some street late at night. he had his claws visible to avoid getting himself accidentally stabbed (l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶e̶a̶r̶l̶i̶e̶r̶,̶ ̶t̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶s̶h̶ ̶k̶n̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶c̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶e̶k̶) and a feeble grin on his painted face.
          "nOt tO LiKe, Uh, BoThEr yOu oR AnYtHiN, bUt... Do yOu kNoW WhErE I Am? I WaS TaKiNg a gOoD MoThErFuCkIn nAp oN ThE BeAcH OuTsIdE My hIvE OnE MiNuTe aNd tHe nExT I WaS SlEePiNg iN ThIs wEiRd aLlEyWaY.." he had a feeling he sounded rather insane as he explained his predicament, hunching his shoulders. a thin tail with a puff of black fur curled into his claws where he anxiously grabbed it, playing with the tuft of fur idly with his other hand. 
          "iM JuSt rEaL MoThErFuCkIn lOsT Is aLl.."

the troll let out a somewhat dry chuckle, gripping his tail tighter as his almost goat like ears tipped backwards. he glanced around with just his eyes before to his tail and then to lucy again, before letting go of his tail and straightening up a little - as straight as a slouched posture could be, of course. he let his thumb claws rest in his pant pockets as he seemed almost lost.
            "hAhA... yEaH.. Im dEfInItElY A TrOlL, tHaTs fOr sUrE. hOrNs, TaIl aNd aLl." he gave a toothy grin, though it still seemed nervous. "iVe nEvEr hEaRd oF EaRtH BeFoRe, BuT YoU SeEm tO KnOw aBoUt aLtErNiA, sO It cAn't bE ThAt fAr aWaY. iTs pReTtY MoThErFuCkIn pReTtY, tHoUgH!" this version of gamzee was likely from some sort of doomed timeline where he never went along with playing sgrub, judging by his lack of knowledge of earth and his personality. not like it was a bad thing, in fact that was probably for the better. 
            His ears flicked against the cold, gamzee shortly after going to brush his claws against them to try and warm them but fail. he ended up pinching the ends of his ears with his claws and simply letting his arms slack, forcing his ears to face downwards.
            "yOu'rE A ReAlLy mOtHeRfUcKiN' cOoL LoOkIn' AlIeN ThOuGh. 's tOo bAd yOu dOn't hAvE A TaIl lIkE Me. ThEy'rE ReAl mOtHeRfUcKiN CoOl." he said sort of offtopic, seeming to quickly realize it was as well.
            "i mEaN, uH... aNyWaYs. YoU WoUlDn't hApPeN To kNoW HoW To gEt bAcK To aLtErNiA, wOuLd yOu? I KiNdA MiSs mY FrIeNdS.." he scratched at his cheek, getting some of his blood on his claw but simply wiping it off on his shirt. his train of thought seemed a bit off the rails, but thats not too different from any other gamzee.

@InfinitesimalJester )) As any wise person would do when faced by a not-quite-human, the girl whirled around on her heel with her left hand gripping at a pouch secured on a belt at her waist. In one swift motion, she tipped it slightly, causing a set of dice to roll out into her awaiting palm. Despite her fear, her gaze seemed to brighten as she recognised Gamzee. Lucy'd always had a habit of idolising the people she read about - especially Vriska, though she'd mostly grown out of that by then - and the clown was no exception. She stepped backwards, away from him, because she knew of his capriciousness and was unwilling to get hurt. She already had enough to deal with without a semi-murderous alien juggalo on her heels.
            "Uh.... WeLL... I dunno. You're certainLy not on ALternia, if my eyes aren't Lying to me and you reaLLy are a troLL with horns."
            She shrugged, keeping her hand tightly curled around the dice. She was older, but her obnoxious pink eyes were still covered by grey contacts.
            "Earth, but I dunno what iteration this one is. X, maybe? We're certainLy not the first."
