[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))

It kinda feels like a lot of us have been leaving recently. I sorta wonder just how many of us outsiders there are, exactly. But I guess that's just how it is and we gotta make the best of it. It'd be purrty cool if once this war is over if we could all still see each other.

That'd be real helpful. Let me drop this off in my room real quick. [She heads over to do that and returns fairly quickly]

Hey, do you like movies at all? If you don't have other plans, maybe once we're done here we can watch one of them.

[vestigiaflammae]

Yeah, I hope when we figure out how to get home, we figure out how to go to other worlds, too. That way we wouldn't have to leave all our friends, right? -- Even the ones who already left!

[He sobers a little as he waits for her to drop off the DVD rack.] ...I wonder how many of us there are left, too.

And yeah, that sounds like fun! What kind of movies do you like?

[moirailcompass]

I really, really hope so too.

[She begins to lead the way to Karkat's room]

To be honest I haven't actually watched all that many! So I'm not really sure what all there is but I like adventurous movies! And romantic ones. That's most of what he has--romantic comedies, I think. [Karkat you are such a loser but she loves you for it.]

What about you?

[vestigiaflammae]

I like adventure movies too! And action movies. You know, anything with lots of fighting!

[Pause.] Dunno about romantic comedies. I mean, I guess if they're good it's okay...

So was he the romantic type or what? [Lea grins.]

[moirailcompass]

[She laughs] Sorta and sorta not. He was funny. [Her expression becomes fond.] He likes romantic comedy and was really into quadrants and he was kinda the go to purrson fur romantic advice. He took purride in all of that but when it came to his own romantic life he always tried to act all tough. He could be purrty rude and loud--really loud but he was actually real sweet beneath it all. He just didn't like showing it.

[vestigiaflammae]

...He sounds like a pretty good guy. [He pauses, taking stock of Nepeta's fond look and grinning at her.] So did you like him?

[You know. Like, like like.]

[moirailcompass]

[Wow. Maybe Vriska had a point. Her face colors, and after a moment she gives a reluctant nod and laughs.]

Is it that obvious?
