As was previously mentioned, it is a COMPLETELY NORMAL AND INCONSEQUENTIAL day, aside from the new hole in your hive's roof. It is a bit of a mystery as to why we are even looking at this point in time.
What is not a mystery, however, is your many varied INTERESTS. You have a passion for RECREATIONAL COMBAT and all things SHARP AND DEADLY. You don't mean to be a brag, but you are actually PRETTY GOOD at it, in the right circumstances. You take care of a variety of INSECTOID CREATURES. Most of your species, yourself included occasionally, would actually consider them SUSTENANCE rather than any kind of companion or pet. You cannot help but be enamoured by these LITTLE GUYS though, so you keep some in your respiteblock for company. In your free time, you also like to REMIX MUSIC, although that is more of a hobby. You are not very good at it.
When you mature in approximately one sweep, you and the rest of your generation will be forcibly drafted into HER IMPERIAL CONDESCENSION'S ROYAL NAVY. Currently you are unsure what your role will end up being but, as a member of the JADE CASTE, it is likely you will be forced into the caverns to serve the MOTHER GRUB for the rest of time. If the rumours are true, that is. Either way, you are not looking forward to it.
In the meantime, you like to chat with a cast of other trolls your age, most of which you have never met in person. You exclusively communicate using a popular chat client called TROLLIAN. Your trolltag is (css: "color: green;")[bloomingSingularity] and you speak in a manner that is, (css: "color: green;")[rEportEdly , prEtty normal . All things considErEd .]
Tomorrow, you will play a game with these friends and get into all kinds of shenaningans with them. This game, for convenient reference, started existing ONLY YESTERDAY.
But that is all happening later.
What will you do?'']]
