>>26107473That's a lot of really good questions! I can answer them pretty easily too, I think.
>Would they have any idea what and who they're looking at?With them having been captured so long ago, it's extremely likely that those schizos were the ONLY people they've seen outside of their own homeland. The average Rosebuta at this stage is barely aware of the existence of other beings, few know of the names of other species, and even fewer have met someone not of their own species. They might understand that Deadbeats are, sort of, like them. They might even think Deadbeats could be plant-based like they are, considering the general body shape is similar.
>Do they know /morig/ exists?Definitely not. They wouldn't even know of a continent outside of their own. As far as /rose/ is concerned, they are the only civilization that really matters. They know of the nijicontinent and it's surroundings, but individuals don't often care to learn about anything outside of their nation. Very isolationist.
>How familiar are they with formal military hierarchies?Actually, the Boars would be pretty well acquainted with that. It's not mandatory for Rosies, but all Boars spend at least five years serving under what could be referred to as /rose/'s military. Some continue to stay with that military even after the mandatory five years.
>what would be their mindset immediately after being rescued from over a decade of inhumane captivity?While variation will exist depending on personality, I think I can naturally say it's not a very fun mindset. As far as Rosebutas are concerned, anyone other than their own could be nearly as bad as that big troll. It'll take some convincing if you want them to open up, feeding them and cleaning them up and freeing them will help a whole lot of course, but it's not quite enough for them to do much beyond answering questions. Befriending a Rosebuta is exceedingly hard, double so for these guys who have been brutally fucked up by the only other species they've met. You can expect them to flinch at any quick motion, react with fear or violence upon being touched, and stay on extreme edge during conversation.
To summarize real quick, they'd be very grateful but even more suspicious and wary of anyone other than themselves.
