[action] in the lobby and wandering

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

[Sollux is simply wandering around looking for a crowded place and someone he can ask for help. He doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't know how he knows where he is, cause last time he checked he hadn't really learned how to smell colors yet like Terezi had, but right now he has a vague idea of his surroundings, however blurry and poorly formed they may be and he can "see" well enough to know he's not back in the veil anymore. He's carrying his letter in his hand, but he can't actually see the words on the paper in order to read them.]

Right, give the letter to the blind troll. That makes a lot of sense.

[He grumbles to himself. He's just going to keep wandering around grousing until he can work up the nerve to ask someone for help.]

Comments

[This is Equius putting up posters in the lobby. Why? Because he's running for the Homecoming Court, silly, and posters are what you do when you want people to vote for you. Even though that time is coming up soon. And somehow, his posters keep getting defaced.]

[But really, that's not important. What's important is that there's a blind kid wandering around, and even though his blood can't possibly be anywhere near as exquisite as Equius's, he is another troll. Bringing the current count of Alternian residents up to six.]

[And talking to even a lowblood is better than talking to humans, he supposes]

Hey, lowblood. Do you require assistance?

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Wow okay Equi- ....us.

[Wait a minute. Equius was dead. Whatever sort of snarky reply he had just been about to make gets cut short. What wait, he turns to face where he thinks Equius is (that sweaty smell gives you away) with a look of utter shock on his face]

Wait a minute... Is this dream bubble?

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

[How the dickens does this lowblood know his name? He folds his arms over his chest and scowls, not that Sollux can see it.]

No, it's not, whatever a dream bubble is. It sounds foolish, however, and you'll do well to remember that I do not associate myself with the likes of that.

And to remember your manners as well. Bow your head and introduce yourself when in the presence of a highblood, peasant.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Okay well i can tell you right off the bat that isn't going to be a thing that happens.

]

So you must be from the past then. How many sweeps old are you?

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[Well, at least there was a teacher near by. Matt was used to the sudden influx of trolls by now. Which was weird since it was just Vriska for so long. He had a feeling she wasn't sure what to make of this either. Ah well.]

[The least he could do was help him. He was looking kind of lost.]

[Oh did he say blind?]

Excuse me, do you need any help?

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Yeah actually.

]

Can you just tell me where I am? I really have no idea what's going on right now.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[Yikes. He's pretty damn lost then. Frowning a little he reaches to kind of tap his shoulder. He's over here.]

You're in Balamb Garden. It's a military school in a different world. Sorry, you've kind of been kidnapped by time compression.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

]

Time compression?

Does this have anything to do with this letter?

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Ah hah. Oh god this is too easy.]

[He really should be asking why the hell Sollux is blind in the first place...]

Wait, you tellin' me you can't viddy like our good pal, TZ? Or does that not come with the whole blind thing? I never cared to ask. Why don't you give the letter a good lick, hmm?

[Trailing behind you, hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. Sollux? Hmmm, blind Sollux? And where or where was that lisp of his?]

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

]

I really can't see salivating over a piece of paper ending very well. TZ had to learn how to do all that stuff, it doesn't naturally implant itself into your brain as soon as your eyes decide to give out on you.

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, juuuust a little lick couldn't hurt. You have to start somewhere, right? [He smirks, his pace quickening to be in stride with Sollux.]

[Okay, this is Sollux all right, but...]

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Thanks but no thanks. If I have to lick things to read them I'd just as much not read them at all. Ever.

]

Who the hell are you anyway?

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

Well, well, well look what the cat dragged in. [Comes up from the side, boots clicking against the tile floor loudly.] Although I didn't expect you to be useless.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm chock full of surprises. I am basically like one of those automated frivolity dispensers. You never know which piece of shit toy is going to come until you turn the knob and your suddenly down a boonquarter. I am the piece of shit plastic toy. It's me.

[betwixttocks.livejournal.com]

Well good to know you accept it. Admitting you're the problem brings you one step closer to fixing it!

Has anyone told you where you are?

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Yeah they have. And they also tried to convince me you were somehow not a huge bitch anymore. I see they were wrong on that point though.

[tortileghostwriter]

[...okay this makes him take pause. It's a troll, he knows that much...probably not one from his universe. Judging from the Gemini symbol, it's probably a version of Sollux...in Zahhak's place too, that's weird but whatever.

He likes Sollux. And a blind Sollux who seems to need help isn't something he's really prepared to let go unnoticed. He approaches. Voice has kind of an echo, so...good luck pinpointing him, Sollux? Echo aside, voice sounds pretty much like Dave minus Texas plus more erudite whatever.]

Ah. Sollux?

... or Captor, perhaps...

I really hope it's the former.

Do you need any help?

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

]

Uh, either is fine. Both of those are my name so I don't really care which you use.

]

Actually yeah, you don't happen to know where any of the computers are do you?

[tortileghostwriter]

Sollux it is, then.

There are public computers set up in the library. I don't bother with them, I have my own alchemized machine, but... they're certainly available to use. Will you need any help getting there? Not all who wander are lost, but walking in total darkness certainly can't help.

[Computer interest? That's new. If the remark about both aspects being his name is to be believed, then that annoying split between Sollux and Captor probably isn't an issue here...]

[moirailcompass]

[Hey there is a familiar face]

[Except she does not recall Sollux being blind huh?]

Sollux.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

]

Nepeta? You're here too?

[moirailcompass]

Yea, I am. Have been fur a while.

I guess you just arrived now? [what happened to your eyes Sollux :cc]

[ragesnake.livejournal.com]

[Those are a very familiar four horns, there. Karkat's been.... er, out of sorts, lately, and for a minute he thinks he's seeing things, so he marches up to Sollux and grabs his shoulder.]

[...and there's actually a shoulder to grab. He kind of balks.]

...Sollux?

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

]

...KK?

]

[ragesnake.livejournal.com]

[He takes a sort-of-stumbled pair of steps backward, holding his hands up. ...and then he notices that Sollux's eyes are blacked out.]

[Like they had been at home. Oh. Best to stick to what he's used to.]

...No, dumbfuck, I'm your fairy godmother. When the hell did you get here?
