((OOC: Backdated to Tuesday early morning for plot reasons, which was when I intended to come back, whoops. Sorry.))

[There's a clatter as the video clicks on. A troll girl with a gold collar is in one of the bathrooms, standing over a sink and coughing violently. Hard liquor was not what she expected to come out of the faucet. Not at all. She

[Have a clearly intoxicated Sollux TZ.]

Terezi.... Don't drink that stuff. It is like.. a backstabbing.

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

[Give her a moment, she's still trying to clear the smell of alcohol out of her sinuses.]

It... what? [No, really, Sollux. What?]

[video]

[psionichax0r]

It's.. bad stuff.... it's... Wait, Terezi. Terezi..

[WAIT. HE SEES YOUR COLLAR. DRUNKEN SURPRISE AND HORROR.]

Whats.. why is your neck the color that it is?

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

Sollux... Were you ingesting the sopor slime? How much have you had?

[Shh, she didn't completely ignore that question.]

[video]

[psionichax0r]

[all the slurred words are here]

'm not a moron 'rezi.

Only been drinking shower water.

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

And if the shower water smells as terrible as the sink water, then 'moron' is a pretty accurate description!

[Siiigh, rubbing her temples. Ow, headache.]

[video]

[psionichax0r]

[and suddenly he looks really sad, his entire face falling.]

Tee-zeee. I'm.. I'm sorry. Is that why you're gold? Is it because I'm dumb?

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

[Jegus what is even going on...]

No, it's not because you are dumb. It is because I did something dumb.

Is everyone acting weird this week or is it just this fake water stuff?

[video]

[psionichax0r]

[and now he's moving because believe it or not he's trying to find her.]

TZ. You're not dumb. Just stop moving.. And don't go gold again...

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

[She can't really tell that he's moving. Not until she rubs at the bridge of her nose again, then brings the screen up closer to her face. She licks it.]

Sollux. Just. Sit down. What are you even doing? ...Where are you going?

[video]

[psionichax0r]

Where?

[Wait where was he going? He stops because he actually has to think about it for a second.]

I have to find you.. I have to stop you from leaving again.

You keep.

You keep leaving.

[and there's that miserable expression again. It comes to him easily right now, not that he's really aware of it. Or of any of this.]

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

[Terezi pauses for a second, genuinely concerned.]

...I haven't gone anywhere. I've been here. [Except she wasn't. An that prompts a question that she wasn't originally going to ask.] How long was I gone?

[video]

[psionichax0r]

For too long.

I couldn't find you and you where gone and he's gone and I didn't know where you were and I was really worried and-

[He says it all quickly, with the same breath, stopping only to get more air. He inhales loudly, and the break it takes for him to breath seems to switch his train of thought entirely.]

Where are you?

[video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

And how long is too long? That doesn't tell me anything. [You're starting to worry her, Sollux. That's never a good thing.]

I'm in my suite, where I normally am? Just stay put, I'm not going anywhere and you shouldn't be either.

[Video]

[psionichax0r]

No. I have to find you. I have to stop you from leaving again.

[and now he is going into a random suite]

And make sure the gold never happens to you.

[Video]

[sw33t_just1c3]

Sollux... [That comes out more of a groan than anything else. That. Is not her suite. Why is life so difficult? She sighs.]

I'll come find you, just. Stay put. And hold your camera up to the door so I can smell the number.
