Quella Fehtan: Space hero! Quella grinned to herself in the tiny tent-place. The posters she'd seen pinned up all over the place had sparked her imagination. She could see herself up there already, floating in void with a blaster in both hands, blowing through waves of ugly pink hairy aliens. She made little "Pew" sounds as she mimed firing with her fingers at other trolls in the tent, who frowned at her. One shoved a wad of paper into her hands, then recoiled with a squeak when she tried to bite him.
She wasn't gonna hurt him! Just n** him a little so he would stop being so pushy. You'd think he'd never been bitten before. Quella wondered for a moment how Akurra was getting on with the other lusii, then realized she already knew the answer: not well. Hopefully he wouldn't try to eat anyone. Or at least, not anyone important.
Someone shoved her forward into a little booth, and then there was a bright flash like when you squashed a lightbug. Quella blinked rapidly to remove the afterimage from her lookstalks and wondered what that was all about. Someone tossed her a little bit piece of what looked like paper on a string with her face on it, teeth bared in a surprised snarl.
Wow. How had they painted her picture so fast? Whoever was doing that was really, really, good too! The image looked just like her! She ducked her head under the curtains of the booth to thank them, but it was just whirring machinery back there. He must be really fast, too, if he'd left that quickly. Still, what a great picture of her! She looked really fierce. Quella slipped the string around her neck with a smile and stepped out into the larger tent where trolls were milling about.
She slipped on the outfit she'd been provided. It was made of some sort of strange material. Quella had no idea what kind of hide they'd used to make the jumpsuits, but it must have come from some REALLY dumb animal cause there were a whole lot of them in boxes all over the place. There were also big blinky charts which Quella didn't look at at all because she didn't care even a little bit.
Instead, she ran past and jumped onto a crate marked in huge block letters, then kept climbing. It didn't look like anyone had staked out territory yet, and if that was the case, she was gonna get the BEST territory. She stood on a tall crate and yelled to the assembled wigglers.
"I'm Quella Fehtan! And I'm GOING TO SPACE!" she screamed into the empty space of the canteen. The young blueblood pointed at as many trolls as she could see, then held her pinchgrabbers above her head in a victorious pose. "If anyone else wants to come with, you know where to find me!"

Selune Maidaz
Selune was milling about, nervous about doing this whole military thing as an illegal and hunted rebel. It would be fine tho, totally fiiiine. Yeah, she just needed to tell herself that every couple of minutes and she would be fine. Her wings itched under their bindings. It was probably a good idea to hide her wings, but that didnt mean she liked it. They needed air, freedom, space. Ha, space... Maybe if she went up to space she could give her wings some air... Oh wait, no air up there. Selune kept her eyes open, looking for familiar faces, when she spotted someone she at least knew a little. The girl was already talking to someone else, but maybe she wouldn't mind being interrupted too much... "H-hey!" She started out softly. The winged troll cleared her throat and mustered some confidence. "Hey! I think we live near each other, im sure ive seen you around." Selune winked at the other girl, hoping she would get the hint. "How are you-"
Then someone yelled, almost screamed. Selune looked around for the noise and saw someone. Was that... was that the weird blueblood she had met in the forest? The screaming continued as the blueblood seemed to pose confidently on the large pile of crates. She made a groan and put her face in her hands, almost embarrassed to know the other girl.

"I'm definitely keeping this forever," she told Vitula, her expression suddenly and starkly serious. Not that it lasted long. Another amused smile cracked across her face. It was a joke, sure, but she still meant to hold onto it regardless. Such a weird memento of her first real trip out of the swamp wasn't something she could throw away so easily.
What was easy, though, was returning Vitula's side-hug with an arm of her own. "It'll be grea-" Wait, what on Alternia was all that shouting about??
Athera whipped around, startled and practically dragging Vitula in a circle with her to get an eyeball full of the action. "Why are we yelling?" Wait, again, wait... she shouldn't be yelling, too...
"Sorry Vitula..." she mumbled sheepishly. It only got worse when she realized she'd screamed right next to someone else, too. The only thing that made it better was the wink—Athera was sharp, she recognized the hint. "Oh yeah, I think so." Her reply was a wink of her own. "Good to see you! Everything going okay?"

Finally. Masoal's first order of business was removing the shoes asap before Emiola decided they needed another impromptu love and peace and friendship handholding session. Shoes first, socks second, finally the tealblood felt a little more like himself again. If only he could get rid of this weird, itchy outfit, too. It was almost as bad.
"I don't care what they said," he informed her, standing back up. Though funnily enough and despite his claims, his expression was downright irritable as he looked up at her. The fact that he had to crane his neck to her perch on the boxes easily twinged his competitive, instinctual nerves. She had the high ground and Masoal didn't like it. He didn't like it at all.
"You get down!!" he shouted up at her, though not quite as obnoxiously loud. If she didn't come down, he was going up.

Selune looked back and forth between her swamp friend and the blueblooded menace she called... a friend? Sure, a friend. Quella was going to get herself into quite a something if she kept yelling like this, and Selune felt a small pang of responsibility for the idiot. She waved it away when the other girl, Athera, gave her a wink back. That was relieving, to know she had a friend (Quella didn't count) and was not alone in this crazy espionage mission. She beamed at the "hemoanon" girl, nodded her head, and then noticed the other troll wrapped up in her arms.
"Hello!" Selune said to the other troll, Vitula. "Im Se- er, Lunara Zediam." She held out her own hand to greet the other troll. She gave Athera a small smile, "Wow things sure got, um, busy fast!" Selune frowned as she looked back up at the troublemaker. "I uh, i dont know her... by the way.." The totally not winged troll said, laughing nervously. "Some trolls, am i right?"

Vitula smiled at Rulata as she returned the half hug. Suddenly he was whipped around by Rulata, who turned to see where the noise was coming from. It was understandable, he to was curious as to what, or who was causing this noise. As he turned to Rulata to ask her if she was okay, when she suddenly began to shout back at the voice. He tried to quickly cover his ears, but because of the friendly side hug he couldn't get him hand to his ear fast enough.
"Mmmm" Viutla muttered placing his free hand to his ear. A slight ringing was present in his ear. He looked over to see Rulata apologizing, Vitula knew it wasn't on purpose. He did not want his new friend feeling bad or anything, so he thought he would return the favor.
"LOUD NOISES MAKE FOR A GOOD TIME!" He said smiling and began to giggle with Rulata
Vitula looked over and saw that another troll had walked up to him and Rulata. "Oh! I am so sorry I did not mean to be so loud infront of you, My name is Vitula, it is nice to meet you." He said

Vitula's good humor earned him another laugh, this one sounding pretty darn relieved. Things were definitely going to get serious sometime soon, she thought, but Athera planned on enjoying this downtime while it lasted. It was nice she could share it with someone who was kind. Sometimes the stories she heard about the outside world were troublesome, but this was turning out better than expected.
"I dunno about you guys," she said to the both of them, "but I'm having a good time for sure. I hope we can work together."
As her gaze followed Selune's back to the blueblood, she looked notably inquisitive. It seemed strange to deny knowing someone so out of the blue, suspicious even, but Athera decided to let it be in favor of keeping those good times rolling. "Eh, I'd even work with her if I had to," she said, referencing Quella, "It would be fiiiine. Probably. My lusus always told me, 'Rulata, sometimes you gotta work with trolls you don't get along with, but that's just how it is!'" Byakko had probably said something like that give or take a few words, but it seemed like a good way to namedrop her alias for Selune's sake.

Selune picked it up, relieved again for her swamp mate's subtlety. "Oh the pleasure is mine!" Selune replied to the yellowblood and giggled. The two trolls's delightful demeanor was infectious, and Selune felt herself relax a little more. "Well yeah!" Selune replied, getting caught up in Athera's outgoing joy. "Were going to space!" She nodded to Athera's wise words, they were indeed good words of advice. "Wow Rulata! You have such a wise lusus!"
Selune continued on a little, "I wonder what they are going to have us be doing! I know its ground work, but helping trolls get to space is almost sorta like going there ourselves." Selune shrugged with a nervous smile, she was rambling, she needed to stop. "A-anyway, what do you guys think will happen, or what our job is gonna be?"

Cynril couldn't believe it... Space was just like Alternia. The skies, the stars, the moons... It was all the same. Why was that? The mutantblood had been sitting around, collecting space rocks, drawing faces on them so space could be a friendlier place to be and keeping his things close. Of course he didn't know he was at the space tower and the fact that he wouldn't be sent to space was something he didn't know as well. But, hey, he was happy and that was the only thing that mattered right?
Disguised as an orangeblood, Cynril walked around and there was shouting. WHY WERE TROLLS SHOUTING? Why couldn't they be more like his space rock buddies, quiet and nice when he didn't toss them around? He noticed Selune and Athera talking to a yellowblooded kid, but sure as hell he wasn't approaching them. Not because he was scared or anything, but he began to suspect space aliens.
What-if-they're-in-costumes... I'm in a costume, so they can do it too right? The child thought with widened eyes. As long as alien suspects didn't approached him, everything would be ok. And if they did, he had a trusty alien catching net and some alien repellent spray that he found in a trash can.
Quote: finally tossing him in here! open for interactions !

"Did you guys see the video?" It had played on nearly every storefront television they'd passed on the trip from Salamire, and Athera was sure she'd seen it playing on monitors inside the building, too. "There's lotsa busted ships up there. Maybe we gotta help them land the ships on the planet? A beacon like you said, Vitula? Oh, oh, what if they had to crash the broken ones like, like," she threw one arm in the are and made a cartoony explosion sound effect, "BOOM."
She considered her own idea with a smile. "I dunno, though. I bet they'll tell us when it gets closer to the time we gotta start. We just gotta do our best."
