I’m sorry, but the old Julian can’t come to the phone right now...

He's the only Zodiac troll left, so he's almost certainly CC's unseen moirail. High-class, doubletalking and nefarious – it’s time to learn what this guy’s up to.
CA: kan make her talk to me do somethin
GA: Who
CA: your no good connivvin fuckin backstabbin girl crush thats wwho
Well someone got out of the wrong side of the recuperacoon this morning.
Granted, he is talking about Vriska, so that's a pretty fair description. My guess is that he was the one commissioning doomsday devices from her. She might not even be ignoring him on purpose - after all, she's got a lot on her plate today.
GA: Overstating Our Relationship Wont Make Me Feel Very Cooperative
GA: Its Paler Red Than That Ok
Sounds like it was CA's use of the term crush which prompted this reaction. Apparently it's 'paler', which I think means that Kanaya's feelings for Vriska are less intense than a crush.
We know moirallegiance is romance, but maybe the romantic feelings involved aren't as strong as with a 'typical' relationship.
GA: I Dont Got To And Every Time You Take My Help For Granted I Feel Like I Got To A Little Less
CA: wwhatEVVER you are so the vvillage twwo wwheel devvice wwhen it comes to auspisticing
CA: you cant let a grudge go by you wwont stick your busy stem betwwixt so get wwith the program fussyfangs
Alright, I’m honestly starting to drown in all this lingo, but it’s still a damn fun puzzle to solve.
Auspisticing is yet another variety of troll relationship - and it sounds like it's centered around interference. Specifically, it involves interfering with troll 'grudges', so I think it's another negative, blackrom relationship.
CA: i figure if youre going to auspisticize any twwo brinesuckers wwho sneer at each other a funny wway you might as wwell make it official and be ours right
GA: Your Black Solicitation Just Seems Really Indecent
Thanks for the exposition and Dark Flirtation, CA.
So, auspisticing is when a single individual approaches two feuding trolls, and interferes in their relationship. This is something that the feuding trolls want, so the interference carries some sort of benefit.
CA wants Vriska to stop giving him the cold shoulder, and he thinks Kanaya's auspisticing would be able to help with that. It sounds like what he's looking for is mediation.
GA: Is Your Lusus Dead Yet
You then proceed to have the rest of this conversation we already read, bugging and fussing and meddling through the special and magical union one can only describe as being in moirallegiance with another.
At least, you guess that's how you would describe it. Maybe.
It seems it’s quite hard to recognize feelings of moirallegiance. Mind you, it can be quite hard to recognize more typical romantic feelings, too - especially for a teenager.
We’ve already seen Kanaya’s conversation with Vriska, and this part of it mirrors CC’s own words. They both express the same sentiment here, so I think this is the core of what a moirallegiance is supposed to be.
I think, at this point, we can make a few inferences.
A moirallegiance is an observational relationship, where one party ‘keeps an eye’ on another. It’s apparently supposed to be helpful to the observee, so maybe Kanaya’s goal is to prevent Vriska from being a danger to herself, and, presumably, to others.
Honestly, it kind of sounds like Kanaya is Vriska’s parole officer.
However, it doesn’t seem to be an adversarial relationship. Kanaya explicitly will not act against Vriska, and that doesn’t seem to conflict with her role as a moirail, so she’s not expected to sabotage or otherwise prevent Vriska’s dangerous actions - she’s strictly hands-off.
It doesn’t seem to be a very formal relationship. Kanaya doesn’t know if she’s Vriska’s moirail, so she clearly hasn’t discussed things with Vriska herself - and the implication seems to be that you can be in a moirallegiance without even realizing it.
Pinch of salt here - these are emotionally immature teenagers. Maybe if these were adult trolls, they’d be expected to talk about their moirallegiance directly - but because Kanaya is a child, she just dances around the topic.
