[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.]

[Ah, yeah see that would be a problem. He's wondering how he got into the school without being able to see.]

[Regardless, this kid was a student and Canada was going to do his best to help him. Especially if he was maybe one of Vriska's friends.]

I can read the letter to you if you like.

Yeah I guess.

Thanks. I'm Sollux, by the way.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[And he will reach out to take that yes.]

Sollux. Its nice to meet you despite the circumstances. Ah, you can call me Mr. Williams. I'm one of the instructors here.

[And he adjusts his glasses a moment, looking at the letter, and begins to carefully read it out loud for him.]

Well. Thanks.

I appreciate it.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

Of course. Would you like some help finding your dorm?

You're from Alternia, right?

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am.

]

You know about Alternia?

Um, yeah I guess dorm help would be great.

[Matt gives the note another glance for his dorm room and ....pauses. Thinking on how to lead him. He reaches out again to tap his shoulder, this time he keeps his hand there so he can sort of guide him.]

You're ah, not the only troll here.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

]

Yeah actually, I already ran into Hoofdick. Do you.. Know who else is here?

]

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[Don't worry, at least he isn't holding your hand or something. He figured the shoulder would be the least intrusive way to go about it. Canada is also a fan of subtlety.]

...Hoofdick. [Raised eyebrow even if you can't see it. That's an interesting nickname.]

Ah, Vriska Serket is a good friend of mine, though I guess she'd probably punch me for saying it quite like that. [Sigh.] She's been here as long as I have.

Nepeta was a girl I met not too long ago, and I know there are others, I just haven't met them myself or remember their names when Vriska talks about them...

You're a good friend of Vriska's? Is it even possible for her to have friends?

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[He pauses for a minute. And he sighs, but its a good-natured one. Good natured and a little flat.]

It's possible. Not easy, but possible. She threw me in front of a lot of vicious dinosaurs the first two quarters of school. Something about how every time one of them didn't eat me, the stronger I'd get.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Sounds like the kind of bullshit she'd pull. And after all that you call her a friend?

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[And he does. He had a feeling Vriska was not someone this kid was to friendly with so he could easily steer the conversation away if he needed to. Unlike his brother, Canada was pretty good at reading the atmosphere.]

She meant well. And I think two years away from whatever it was she'd come from did her some good. She's not like she used to be, I guess you could say.

[Pause.]

Was there a particular person you were maybe looking for? I could ask around.

[hindsight2fold.livejournal.com]

Well I guess, Karkat or.. Feferi... Whatever it doesn't matter.
