♉ Intro [Action] wHAT,,,tHE HECK

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Of course he was picked to come here, even if it was random. Of course he was going to attend this school. Of course! There was not reason he wouldn’t. Tavros was, not gonna lie, pretty steamed he was here, and that he couldn’t do what needed to be done back home. He knew that this wasn’t the place for him now. He had to kill Vriska, he had to advance and stop her from ruining anything further. Even if he pitied her, even if he loved her. Okay maybe it was going to be a lot harder then he thought, but he killed her once, he could have done it again. Not that he had to anymore, with the whole appearing here, lance in hand, not sure exactly how to react to the whole thing. But that was over now, for the most part. he had cleaned himself up, got into this uniform and was ready for...school?

Now he was a ‘cadet’ or something, whatever. The uniform was pretty cool, so nothing to complain about there, he’d probably make a few modifications through time. But, this whole, rules, and shit, this was gonna get old really fast. But this ‘new start’ thing? He liked that, actually... Alternia was gone, they had nothing back on that fucking meteor, so maybe this was for the best. He had another world to become something in, because having any part in troll society, lance related or not, wasn’t going to happen now, not with Alternia blow all to hell.]

Wonder if I can like, get some kind of phone or some shit…

[Talking to yourself is completely normal when you don’t have anyone to talk to yet. He’s ignoring the stares he gets every so often, he stared enough of his own lately, he was tired of gawking at things and people he’d never seen before. He knew what humans were, a lot of people here looked liked them. He had yet to see a troll. To be honest, he wondered why he wasn’t getting more stares, maybe… maybe there was another troll here somewhere? That would be amazing… Though, he shouldn’t get excited. DAMNIT, did he almost hit someone with his horn again?! People were NOT used to horns here.]

YEAH, yeah, watch it! [He scowled, grunting as he turned to lean his back against a nearby wall, his hand flipping out the paper with his schedule written on it. He wasn’t exactly excited… for classes… It was gonna be a drag, really. But he’d do the best he could Maybe he should sign up for some extra shit to do, so it wasn’t just all work. He’d go NUTS if it was all work. He had to become a part of this place now, whether he liked it or not. It wasn't like him to dwell on this kind of stuff, so, have at it! The others could figure out what to do on their own now for all he cared. Not liked they listened to him anyways.

Okay, maybe a little help with these classes, and schedule, and whatever was going on would be nice. Just a little... Ugh, whatever, he was done looking at this stupid list. Tavros pulls out his acceptance letter and reads it again before scoffing and starting to fold it.]

[Today she was out of uniform, hair pulled back into a tight ponytail. Her hands were hanging loosely from her sides as she walked casually. She found walking around and scaring the new students was an ideal hobby she picked early on.

Of course when she spotted Tavros she stopped dead in her tracks. So suddenly after the arrival of Nepeta and Karkat (and John, but-) and now Tavros!

... An alive Tavros. She was so sure the last time she saw him he was plummeting to his death with that stupid look on his face. Nevertheless here he was and here was she, going to confront him.]

Oi, Puuuuuuuupa!

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[There's a moment where he's still just fidgeting with the paper in his hands, biting his lip a little as he folds it a few last times. But, he can't help but stop...at that voice... whoa what the fuck? Tavros stops everything he's doing and glances up to where the voice came from, his back still to the wall as he leaned, one leg bent over the other.]

...Bitchska?

[The word left quietly at first. Vriska was he- whoa, she looked a bit different. Good different yeah, but different. Tavros felt some anger curl in his chest for a moment but he soon relaxed. This wasn't The Veil anymore... all that shit? It wasn't happening to them anymore... Yeah. Plus he didn't need to start shit here. Tavros really didn't need to fuck up the clean slate he wanted to keep. Well, not fuck up yet anyways.]

[He grins widely, pushing off the wall now to stand straight, gazing at her with a half lidded stare.]

Whooa Veevee, when'd ya get that chest?

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[That made her stop. Eyes widening she stares at him (similar to this (http://i.imgur.com/5LVCo.gif)).] Excuse you? Did you rattle your thinkpan, Pupa, hmmmmmmmm? [Without thinking about it she crossed her arms over her chest and gave him a dirty look. From the way he held himself to the lack of stutter... It was difficult to believe this was honestly Tavros.]

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Tavros mimicked her exact stance, pouting out his lower lip and raising his eyebrows. Okay, maybe it wasn't just her body that was a little different.]

Nope, pretty sure I'm all good up here. Uhh, unless this whole world is just a nightmare...

[He pauses, looking her up and down, a grin curling on his lips.]

Or a dream, as far as it's going now.

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[She hissed. There was no way this was Tavros. No way!

At least, not her Tavros. This was a load of hoofbeast shit.] Don't get fucking cocky, Nitram. Are you attending classes here?

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

Kinda old news for me to be cocky with ya babe.

[He smiles, finishing the four part origami oracle hand toy, putting it on the index and thumb of both his hands as he flips it open here and there, soon taking out a pen and writing on some of the sides.]

No, I'm here to scope out the place for heist.

[He rolls his eyes, writing a few more things down.]

Why are YOU here? Infact, why are WE here? What's the deal with this shit?

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

[Honestly... she was almost speechless. After sweeps of just trying to get Tavros to even HOLD himself up with self-confidence, seeing him so... brash and arrogant like this...

Oh.

Her eyes flickered to the paper in his hands and then back to his face.] If you're asking why we're here in this world then you're fucking stupid because you SHOULD have gotten the answer to that before you signed up for classes.

[moirailcompass]

[Nepeta had gotten in the habit of staying near the lobby entrance. If any new trolls came, they would have to pass through there at some point, and even if she missed their entering you had to pass through the lobby to get anywhere in this place.

It was the perfect place to find people she knew, though in all honesty, she wasn't really sure how she felt towards the rest of her fellow trolls anymore.

Her conversation with Karkat the previous day had at least helped her get her head on a bit straighter, but some things had changed for good.

When she saw Tavros passing by (he was hard to miss, not just because he was a stroll but because of dem horns) she still. Somehow she was not someone she was expecting to see, after all seeing his blood strewn across the walls had made her certain he was dead. Then she remembered her own case, she was certain she was dead or would have been if she had not been taken away. Of course the same could be true for the others.

She hesitated, but only for a second before jumping down from her perch on one of the columns]

Tavrrros! [she made her way through the crowds, uttering small 'exuse mes' and 'sorrys']

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

OH shi-!! Oh, Nepeta, OH NEPETA. Holy crap man, Vris said you'd be here, so I guess I should have been prepared for a pounce. [He grinned, pocketing the paper he had been fiddling with before looking back to her with a questioning look. If Vriska was from another universe then...maybe Nepeta was too? Or perhaps she was from his? This was all pretty damn confusing, it was best to just fucking ask the kid.]

How the fuck are ya? Managing to keep up school dress code and remember your classes? You never were the most ontask troll in the clutch. [He says with a smirk, hands going into his pockets as he held himself proud, shoulders back as always. Nepeta had been easier to get along with, if it hadn't been for their adventures hunting together. he really only went to scare the shit out her constantly and to kill things here and there, but it was a good way to pass the time none the less.]

sorry for the late :cc 1/2

[moirailcompass]

[Wow give her a sec. She had never heard Tavros speak like that, and would never have expected to hear him speak like that in a million sweeps.]

[moirailcompass]

[But she shakes the surprise off. She's so glad to see him. When she had been crawling through the vents she remembered seeing his blood smeared against the walls. While Karkat hadn't mentioned Tavros being dead, she had feared the worst after seeing that and coming face to face with Gamzee herself.]

[She smiles at him, but it's lackluster and not just relatively to her usual cheer.] Nah. Classes haven't started just yet, I don't think. [Unless she missed the memo which...she might have.]

As fur the uniform, no way! You know they expect me to wear a skirt? They'll have no luck getting me in that thing. [she stuck her tongue out]

So you already met Friska? How long have you been here?

No problem.

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Going to silently watch her reaction, already knowing knowing this is not 'his' Nepeta. How great, one after another. He is pretty much sure none of the people he SHOULD know are going to actually be people he knows. Might as well lose all hope for that now, no point in getting himself worked up. Which...is pretty sad. He'd love his Terezi to be here, but...the way it's looking now? Not gonna happen.]

Classes haven't started yet, settle yourself. And to be honest maybe a skirt could do ya some good? Bet them legs of yours are in prime condition with all that pouncing. [He grins widely, putting a hand to his chin before crossing his arms over his chest.]

And yeah, I saw the bitch, but I just rolled in, so not too much has gone down yet.

1/?

[moirailcompass]

[....Uh]

2/4

[moirailcompass]

[Uuuuhhhhh]

[moirailcompass]

[UUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

4/4 \o/

[moirailcompass]

[WOW.

There was so much wrong there she did not even know where to start. More importantly, she was not sure how to deal with most of it so she settled for her usual action of pretending most of it went in one ear and out the other but there was no beating back the green blush that had risen to her cheeks.]

...when are you furrom, Tavros? You seem diffurent. [that was an understatement if ever there was one.]

XD

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[He couldn't help but smirk at her new reaction, a little proud of the flush he caused. Tavros stepped a little closer, eyes half lidded.]

No time you're familiar with babe, infact, not even from your universe. But hey, as far as I've heard? I out do the little shit of myself in your time anyways, so be happy.

[He slides a finger under her jaw and flicks it back to himself with a laugh, standing straight, hands going into his pockets.]

The dumb struck look is good on ya, you should try being taken off guard more. [Wink.]

[I am so sorry Nepeta.]

she has never been more confused xD

[moirailcompass]

[She couldn't help but lean back a little. Even if it had been Karkat saying those things, this was all new territory for her and she really was at a loss for how to react. Thankfully he gives her something to latch onto.]

Oh, someone did mention something like that befur. [she frowns a little and shakes her head]

There's nothing wrong with the Tavros furrom my universe. In fact he's very sweet and fun! [granted there was the problem of him being allergic to her but..]

[ragesnake.livejournal.com]

[There were about six things wrong with this display. Probably more. Karkat had gotten mostly used to the Garden by now, and mostly knew his way around, so he had taken to skulking in the shadows and watching people more than actually interacting (which one supposed was understandable, all things considered).]

[He had most certainly paused at the sight of Tavros, though. In part because he had been made aware that the guy was dead for him, so it was one of those things where he was pretty sure he'd never see him again. Then again, Nepeta was probably dead, too. So maybe Garden didn't give any manner of shits about death, which Karkat was still processing the concept of as he slid out into the hallway from where he'd been watching.]

[Tavros' language was too coarse, his voice too loud. Karkat approached him slowly, eying him with the caution one might eye a dangerous animal with.]

...Nitram.

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Apathy, probably the first thing that moves over him at hearing that voice say his name. Greeeeaaaaaaat. Vriska said the midget was here, but he REALLY wasn't looking forward to seeing him on his first day. Tavros turns on his heels to face the keeper of the voice, a long grin slid over his lips as he eyes him maniacally. Karkat from...his universe of Vriska's? Well, the little bastard certainly LOOKED like he was from his own universe, but...so did Vriska. So it was best to not assume anything right now.]

Ugh WHAT KARCRAP. I'm trying to keep a low profile here.

[Low profile? Considering his race and horn size, that probably was one of the harder things to do here. Tavros chuckles a little, going back to lean passively on the wall near him.]

BUT, I guess I can down play my cred to play with you a bit. What's up?

[ragesnake.livejournal.com]

[This was surreal to an extreme he couldn't even begin to comprehend. He was quiet for a long time, just watching him and that manic expression on his face and tumbling the words around in his brain (Karcrap? Jegus that was worse than Feferi calling him Karcrab, and he thought that one topped most others). Nevermind the term 'play with you'-- what in the hell was wrong with him?]

[He kept a careful distance, maybe twice the length of Tavros' gargantuan horns, and tried to keep himself at an angle where he didn't have to look straight up to see the guy's face. There was something inherently more obnoxious about Tavros having a spine and still being so gogdamned tall.]

Downplay your cred, Tavros? Jegus fuck, have you been hanging around with Strider?

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Tall was in bro, haven't you heard? Didn't help that his legs were made to be a bit longer to compensate for any growth he'd have in the future. He had made sure to nag Equius plenty to get the extension. Tavros smirked, watching Karkat's reaction to well, him. It was obvious this was the Karkat he knew. The Karkat the knew immediately would have started verbally attacking him. Not that he was complaining, he didn't fucking care EITHER way. But, what DID irk him was his mention of Dave, and his grin coiled to a sneer quickly.]

HELL no. I have not been hanging around that sad excuse for a fire- breeding sow. How about we both pretend you didn't just spew that from maw, eh? Sound good?

[His anger quickly subsides after he makes himself clear, hands going into his pockets as he looks listlessly down to the troll speaking to him.]

[ragesnake.livejournal.com]

[Tavros with an anger button is probably one of the most surreal things Karkat has ever experienced. He was so used to the guy being softspoken and timid and obnoxious that this... Well it wasn't a pleasant change, that was for sure, but it was definitely a change.]

[His ears flick in mild irritation and he shrugs.]

Sure, whatever. So what's your deal?

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

Aight. Well then, hmm, my deal... [Aww Karkat, how nice of you to listen, good little troll. Tavros is back to a rather pleasant demeanor, looking around and watching people as they pass before he replies. He takes his sweet sweet time.]

I suppose you want to know why I'm not a wimpy little shit then?

[Assuming this IS the OTHER Karkat from Vriska's universe anyways. She had said that the other Tavros was a complete disgrace. Tavros suspected he was going to have to explain this shit a few times so he might as well get used to it. Oh god he just hoped... Terezi was his Terezi, not theirs...]

[ragesnake.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't want to talk about Strider anymore than you do, Tav, there's not much nice about it. He rolls his eyes.]

That would be the point of "what's your deal", yeah.

[Though he had to admit, if Tavros could be civil, him being less than a complete flower could be pretty fucking useful. He shifted his weight slightly, uncomfortable in his uniform, and watched the Taurus with muted interest. He took great care to not think of Terezi, lately, mostly because he wasn't sure of her state of living.]
