[So guess who has finally noticed that a certain nubby-horned troll is gone? Nepeta had thought that things sounded unusually quiet. She had been looking for him for a while, and he was nowhere to be found. More importantly, his scent was weak, even in his room which she had managed to get into. Cheezeburger's bowl was empty and she could tell that he was hungry and despondent right away. That's two owners now that had been taken from him, poor thing. She picked him up and hugged him tightly.]

Hey sweetie. Where's Karkitty? [He bumped his head against hers, and she nuzzled him in return. She already knew the answer. Somehow, she almost felt that Cheezeburger did too. She sniffed a bit, burying her face in his fur until she was able to blink away some tears before looking around the room. It looked the same as when she last visited him to see some of his DVDs--speaking of which, the large collection of movies and TV series were neatly stacked in a holder. She wondered what would happen to those. Would they be thrown out? A long with all his other possessions? The possibility made her sad, and she wondered if maybe she should take them. Keep them safe for if he ever returned. She let out a sigh and gently lowered Cheezeburger to the ground.

She hauled up one of the DVD racks with ease, as if it weighed nothing and balanced it on her shoulder, holding onto the front end. Time to start hauling things to her room. She didn't want this to all be thrown away.

Cheezeburger trailed behind her.]

((ooc; feel free to come across her either in the halls, Karkat's old dorm or hers))

Halls

[forcerounds]

[...wtf.]

[Neku came across Nepeta just strolling through the halls, carrying that DVD case like it's nothing. As a matter of fact, it's so impossibly big that he can't even see that she's kind of a gray-skinned horn monster right now. All he sees is a girl and her cat walking along.]

...What the hell are you doing?

[moirailcompass]

[Cheezeburger seems to take quite an interest in Neku, and scurries up to him, curling around his legs. This is a demand to be petted, obey.

The voice is an unfamiliar one to Nepeta, but ever the friendly person her tone is cheery when she responds]

Just a bit of room cleaning! Moving a furriends stuff over to my room.

[forcerounds]

[That's a weird accent if he's ever heard one. It sounded like 'fur-riends'... whatever. Room moving isn't unusual, especially since the whole place kind of got re-shuffled lately, but he thought that everyone would have sorted it all out by now.]

They moving to your room?

[moirailcompass]

Mm. No, not exactly. They were sent back, I believe. But this stuff is theirs and I just want to make sure that it isn't given away to someone else or anything like that. He's purrty fond of his movies so I'm going to keep it in my room so if he ever returns [which she really hopes] I can give it back to him.

[It felt weird talking to someone without really being able to see them, so she carefully shifted so she could set the rack down against a wall]

I don't think we've met befur?

[forcerounds]

Oh. I guess that make se--shit.

[Nepeta... you're... gray...]

[So he's just going to kind of stare at you for a moment. He's... never had the pleasure of meeting any troll before, it seems. Oh well, gotta start somewhere, right?]

...Uh, no.

What are you, anyway?

[moirailcompass]

[She couldn't help but laugh a little at his expression]

I'm a troll! Not the kind that lives under a bridge.

[forcerounds]

A... troll.

[Neku does not appreciate being laughed at, missy. But you know what, he's not going to show it, because he's too busy just... looking at her. That is a freaky looking thing if he ever saw one.]

[It occurs to Neku vaguely that this might just be a human trying to pull a fast one on him. Come on, she looks totally humanoid... except for the horns and the skin.]

...Any other 'trolls' here? Or just you?

[moirailcompass]

[Aw, no harm meant, Neku~]

There's one other. Vwhi--Vriska, is her name. There use to be a handful but they're mostly gone now. Two of them use to be teachers.

[forcerounds]

[Jeez, did this girl walk out of a crazy webcomic or what??????????]

...Huh. I never saw them.

[Long, awkward pause.]





...Y'need any help with that?

[moirailcompass]

[a crazy, obtuse webcomic. if only you knew how right you were, neku]

Help would be nice, yea. I'm Nepeta by the way. [She held out a hand to shake!]

[forcerounds]

Neku. [He shakes her hand and goes over to the DVD rack, taking off as many of them as he can carry in an attempt to lighten the load. He doesn't know where this other guy's dorm was, anyway.]

[moirailcompass]

[Ahh, that helps. She picks up the rack again, balancing it on her shoulder and takes the lead.]

Thanks! Have you been here fur a long time?

[forcerounds]

Yeah, a while, I guess. I'm in my... second quarter. [He has to pause for a little mental math there.] What about you?

[moirailcompass]

My third. [She blinked a bit] Gosh, it's hard to believe it's been that long already.
