Practicing.

Hello friends.
Grimm
Usagi
Lobco

Hello family.
Hollow Knight
Sibling

Hello everyone else.

I am the Knight.

We are the Void.

[Yep. Yep, that's all they've got. Their sibling taught them how to type and now they are reveling in their ability to communicate. Though clearly not their ability to communicate very well.]

[ okay. this is. pretty weird? that void stuff is kind of concerning too, if he's being honest, but based on what he's read here it seems... harmless enough.

hopefully. hopefully. ]

You've never typed before?

Here's something else you can try:
👍👏⚔️

The swords are because you said you're a knight
you did mean like an actual knight, right?

[dreamnailedit]

I have not. I must practice. I am getting quite a bit here.

Those are interesting. How do I use them?

And yes, I am a real knight. It is also my name. What is yours?

[arachneighbor]

Yeah, I bet
There's a lot of people around to practice with

On your keyboard there should be a little key that you can hold, and it'll bring you to a screen with all kinds of little images like that
⚾️🛸😎

See? They're fun

"Knight" is your name? Has that always been your name, or did you make it your name when you became a knight?

Mine is Peter Parker
Nice to meet you 👍

[dreamnailedit]

Hello Peter Parker.

That is interesting. Someone taught me how to make faces with text earlier.

:)

This gives me more options.

I made it my name. I had none before then.

[arachneighbor]

Yeah, those are great too! :)
You can make it wink or give it a nose if you want
;)
:^)

You didn't have any kind of name?
How did that work?

[ like, logistically. ]

[dreamnailedit]

Thank you. I will remember that.

I was usually referred to by names the person I was talking to made up. "Small bug" was common. Which is unsurprising. I am very small.

[arachneighbor]

Are you a bug, too?

[ because they hadn't mentioned anything about that part of the nickname being realistic or not. ]

I'm glad you've got a name that you picked now. Do you like it better?

[dreamnailedit]

Yes, but that is not special. Everyone from Hallownest is a bug.

It is nice to have a real name.

[arachneighbor]

What, seriously?

EVERYONE a bug?

Are you taking like a bug-bug

[ and here he sends a little picture of a ladybug, and then a butterfly for good measure. ]

No wonder you need practice typing?

[ that's a. bad joke. he knows. ]

[dreamnailedit]

Yes. All bugs.

Though not quite like that.

[They send him a picture of themselves. That, they know how to do.]

[arachneighbor]

[ he's not sure what he's expecting, but it's not that. ]

Oh, so a different kind of bug I guess?

That's cool
You definitely don't look like most of the bugs back home
I like your
antlers?
Kind of like a beetle?

[dreamnailedit]

Perhaps a beetle.

Not a stag beetle or dung beetle though. I know what they look like.

[And they're the best.]

[arachneighbor]

Do you have those in

[ he's gotta look back to check the name. ]

Hallownest too? Or are you guys the only bugs around?

[dreamnailedit]

We have many kinds. I know one of each of those.

They are very good. It would be nice to have them here.

[arachneighbor]

Oh, that's cool

[ except suddenly a little unclear to him. ]

Wait, do you mean they're like the bugs I sent you? Or like you?

I mean they might have little, non-talking beetles here
Somewhere

[dreamnailedit]

Like me.

I do not think people from your world would recognize the bugs of Hallownest.

[arachneighbor]

DEFINITELY not.
We just have like
much less cool bugs.

[ although... ]

Actually, we have some superheroes themed after bugs and insects and things but
they aren't REALLY bugs or insects.

[dreamnailedit]

Superhero?

Better hero? Bigger hero?

[arachneighbor]

I don't know about better or bigger, more like
able to DO more?

Actually, Ant-Man does grow to be really big, so you're kind of right with him at least.

But yeah, they're not like our regular bugs either.

[dreamnailedit]

Ant-Man?

A human mixed with an ant?

[arachneighbor]

No no! I'm pretty sure he was all human

Probably?

I don't really know his deal actually
Sorry, I might be making this more confusing

[dreamnailedit]

I do not understand. Why is he called Ant-Man?

[They're kind of focused on that moniker there.]

[arachneighbor]

[ that's completely fair, to be honest. ]

He gets really small? You know, like
an ant, I guess

But he also gets really big too, and I've never seen an ant who can do that, so
Maybe he should have a different name?

[dreamnailedit]

Ants like here and in your world, I assume.

But are not all bugs that size in your world?

I do not understand why it would be ants.

[arachneighbor]

Yeah, like in my world, I guess

You know what? That's a really good point
He could be any bug
Maybe he just likes ants?

I'd ask him if I could, but I don't think he's here
