Hiveswap Friendsim: Volume Nine Review (LostTresure)

Volume nine halfway through, today meet another Goldblood and.. Amisia again? Wait what's that behind her?
Beware of potentional spoilers ahead:
One traintrip later eighteenth friend Azdaja, I must say though travelling in the old/bad slime cargo was a bad idea who knows what that's gonna do to you. Kinda worth it for the sigthseeing, beautifully described and drawn canyons! And someone really dramitic framed in the moonlight, let's surprise a troll that couldn't possibly go wrong! Hint: It goes very wrong. Intresting things to learn though: Psionic eyes can flash the colors between themself, I belive Sollux has done this too, and there's a diffrence in, not sure if skill or power (potentionally both), between Psionics. Kuprum janks things around but Azdaja does it much smoother.
Anyway let's not be dumb and just wave at him. Duel Strifers that's a new one, somehow it's deadlier than Flarp. Wonder how much of Azdajas talking was just him liking to talk and how much was stalling to figured out what kind alien we are? Do we wanna be this guys cannon fodder Y/N? I love how much it's pushing for yes but let's do no first. MC hits a breaking point and vents at this guy, somehow we get some push behind the words because a random rock just disintegrates behind us as soon as we're done. I'm still curious how that had such timing? Oh, this guy knows about Polypa, except he thinks we're her. Also why did MC pick up heels with the dress? That's such a terrible idea with how much walking they do. Anyway it's a nice touch that Azdajas sprite moves up when he does Psionic things. Konyyl to the rescue! Thank god the train arrived just now. I love the way they leave. Except now we lost out on friendship.
Guess we'll be lackey. And now we officially get to learn his name. Should be kinda obvious from before but this is Konyyl's matesprit, he mentions that quadrant specifically here too. I love this dork using psi to flap his own coat. And of course the first troll Azdaja finds is a cerulean with mind powers, we're screwed. Luckily (or perhaps like Vriska trying to control Sollux this cerulean couldn't get full control?) Azdaja's laser miss and just topples the canyon down on everyone. Thankfully MC manages to get them both into a cave. "I already told you I have a moirail." No you only told us about your matesprit? Huh anyway there's cave troll carvings on the wall or somesuch, we don't get much but we get out. More importantly we've gotten FRIENDSHIP! And some money wo!
Off the train back in the city, and it seems we lost the heels somewhere in the canyon? After being hit by a bluish missile we meet the biggest troll we've ever seen, bigger than the adult from Konyyls route, Chahut! Our soon to be ninteenth friend. I love the way they introduce her just slowly coming in. Amisia mentioned Chahut in her route but now we finally get introduced. I like how she refers to people with little, it's cute. And immediately the headcannon everyone got of these two as moirails is dashed, well not completly Chahut's just "two weeks from exile" as her troll card said so there's no point. It's sad they're so cute together. Anyway we get to be a tiebreaker clown church or no? Let's just meet our maker quick and get it over with.. I think it speaks entierly of Chahut's chill that you can tell her church sucks and she's mostly fine with it except for some menacing quips, which she seemed to like doing anyway. She's nice enough to carry MC to where they're going. Not much else except terrible murder jokes, let's give church a chance..
Clown church is about equal parts terrifying and just plain ridiculous if you're trying to compare it to human churches. I wonder how flimsy those metal chairs acctual is if other trolls are chained to them? Also wonder if the powder they throw into the candles is that stardust thing cherubs eats? Oh shit we have to preach throw some bullshit out and you get another bad end, a very religious one that Amisia probably wouldn't approve off! I acctually think "Little one" is a cute nickname but I guess staring up at her it's probably not as cute.
Let's just hop back to our choice and croak, just wimp out completly. At least Chahut stays chill. A random guy in a hat hands you an opened bottle of faygo. Dunno if all faygo on alternia is alcoholic or if it's something this clown did but it makes MC drunk as hell. Not sure what a supplicant is but I'm very thankful Chahut's still looking out for us. And surprise skype-in visit from someone who makes the purple guys afraid. Leave it to the old clown GHB to be effing hilarious. After some basic info gathering (apparently we've been her for not even a month yet) on the random alien, we're free to go! He even tells Chahut to be our friend! Success!
What a great end to an amazing volume!
