I'm starting to figure that out so don't worry about it.

[glowsferatu]

Humans have such a simplistic approach to romance, I'm not sure trying to adequately explain it is even possible!

[newbvampire]

I don't think I'd call human romance simple, but I guess it would be compared to how trolls see it.

[glowsferatu]

With only the singular expression, it does appear highly reductive.

[newbvampire]

Just how many expressions for it do trolls have?

[glowsferatu]

The usage of the word "quadrant" does not lack in its design. There are four.

[newbvampire]

So what are the four?

[glowsferatu]

[ she sighs in resignation and takes a sip of her blood. so much for "it's complicated i don't want to explain" ]

To understand the quadrants and their individual natures, it's best to first be aware of the nature of their divisions. The first is between the ultimate purpose each quadrant hopes to achieve, two for concupiscence, and the others for conciliation. But within these designations, there is a further specification, the nature of the feelings that fuel them: positive and negative, love and hate, one for each purpose.

Therefore, you have the flushed red quadrant of matespritship, loving and concupiscent. It closely mirrors your own conceptions of the topic. It's opposite is the caliginous black of kismesissitude, just as driven to reproduction as the other, but instead fueled by hatred.

The pale of moirallegiance is the positive expression of conciliatory affairs, two individuals so deeply entwined that their connection better prepares them for the interactions they will face in society beyond their pairing, pacifies the violence they might otherwise express. The final segment, ashen, is the auspisticism. While inspired by negative inclinations, it seeks to prevent the consummation of any blossoming hate between two parties through the introduction of a third, the mediator. Together, they are meant to act to maintain the black fidelity of those threatening a caliginous descent, that the new quadrant will serve in place of the potential kismesissitude.

Did you comprehend any of that?

[newbvampire]

Some of it. At least I think I understand better what's going on with your moirail better.

So...trolls get together because they hate each other sometimes?

[glowsferatu]

Oh, more often than would be considered advisable! This is what makes auspisticism such a necessity.

I kind of wish this thread was in game canon there's so much that's been covered

[newbvampire]

I can see why.

we could always handwave it into being canon? o:

[glowsferatu]

We are a very easily hated species, I imagine.

I would like that.

[newbvampire]

I don't know. You seem pretty nice.

excellent seras now knows all about quadrants and things c:

[glowsferatu]

You are a pleasant and insightful person who presents no threat to myself or those under my care, and with whom I share certain qualities and interests. I have little reason to act in any other manner toward you.

But I would not claim that to be the extent of my nature. I am, after all, a monster.

Yay!

[newbvampire]

So am I, but that doesn't mean we're monsters. And I don't see what's wrong with wanting to protect the people you care about.

[glowsferatu]

There is more than simply my state or my goals that would define such a thing. The expression is also a factor.

I have no illusions regarding my more vicious qualities, I practice them in order to spare others from similar undertakings. [ well, that, and she just gets...really angry about some things ]

[newbvampire]

I know how that goes. I don't like scaring anyone I work with, but I don't mind when it gets the crooks to give up without a fight.

[glowsferatu]

At times I think the resulting fear is simply unavoidable.

[newbvampire]

I guess there isn't a lot either of us can do about, stupid as it is. You'd think people would understand that we're not going to sneak into their houses and drain them dry.

[glowsferatu]

[ she affects a weak smirk, but her glow tells the lie in it ] Of course not! Perhaps simply borrow some manageable amount.

[ the smile drops gradually ] But I don't feel it is my undeath itself which gives cause to my more violent tendencies, [ though its catalyst did quite a bit to inspire it ] I think it simply provided me with more efficient tools to assist in their expression.

[newbvampire]

As long as it's against the right sort I don't see why it's a problem. Some people just need a good kick in the arse.

[glowsferatu]

Though many occasions remain where ending any action there would be unwise.

[newbvampire]

Like what sort of occasions?

[glowsferatu]

At times, enemies simply need to be brought to an unambiguously fatal end. When their threat cannot be otherwise neutralized, when it would mar the face of existence to leave them among the living.

[newbvampire]

Enemies like the Major.
