[Standing in one of the hallways is a kind of funny looking kid. He's short and stocky with a ridiculous mop of inky black hair that looks like it hasn't been combed in weeks, but that's far from the strangest thing about him. Protruding from the mop of hair are a pair of orange-gradiented horns for starters, and the skin they protrude from is ( Read more... )

[If Karkat hadn't spoken she may very well have passed him without noticing. Her head was down, and she was too lost in thought to really pay much attention to her surroundings.

But it was really hard to miss that voice. Really, really hard.

It hasn't been very long since she had been in the Gardens, though she has been in this world significantly longer. Still, she had been told the only other troll here was Vriska, so when she looks his way its in disbelief.]

Karkitty?

[Well that's a voice he wasn't expecting to hear... ever again. It takes him a second to shake his head out of the confused and irritated thought process and he pales slightly at the sight of her.]

...wh-- Nepeta? What the fuck are you doing here?

[For a moment she can only stare as well. After so long not seeing another troll, and only finding Vriska but three days ago she had sort of resigned herself to never seeing another troll apart for her again. After all, Vriska had been alone here for an entire sweep.

Her usual greeting would probably have consisted of excited waving, hugging or tacklepouncing but once she gains her bearings her shoulder drop and she just offers him a weak smile]

Um. Same as you I guess. The whole time compurression thing brought me here.

[Oh God Nepeta what have they done to you. Why aren't you excited and bouncing and making cat puns and-- Okay there's a cat pun, at least.]

[He inhales slowly, looks elsewhere for a moment, and then back to her as though expecting her to have disappeared.]

Well, it's... Good to see you, I guess. I hear Vriska's here too. [Just act normal, Karkat. You're still their leader, no matter how badly you fucked up, they're still your subordinates, you still have to lead them and keep your wits about you. Especially in a human-infested place like this. Stick together. Good boy.]

It's good to see you too. Really good. [That was one more person who at least was confirmed alive. Who knew how many of them were left with both Eridan and Gamzee running around.]

She is, and she's been here fur a real long time. An entire sweep, it's so weird. She's...diffurent.

[He narrows his eyes slightly.] She can't have been here for a sweep, that doesn't-- [Stops, and shakes his head.] Time compression. Fucking jegus.

[She gives a small shrug of her shoulders, understanding the reaction] I didn't believe it till I saw her either, but its true. She looks older. And she's part of SEED already, I think.

Great. Older and with another ego boost. Excuse me, I'm finding myself incapable of containing my glee for her.

[Strange as it may seem, there was something nice in seeing Karkat was still his usual grumpy self. Too much had changed to quickly, so she was glad that some familiar things remained]

Um. So you were looking fur you dorm? I could show you where they are.

[Beat of silence, and he shakes his head to clear it and nods.] Yeah, yeah. Piece of shit paper says A201. I have no fucking idea where that is.

Well it's not too far furrom here. Just north of the lobby. The computers have some helpful maps too that tell you where everything is.

[she moves down on all fours scampering ahead a bit, and glancing over her shoulder to see if Karkat was following]

[Her weird running on all fours is oddly comforting, and he stands there for a second and just watches her scamper off, slackfaced.]

[How could he have fucked up so badly to lose so many of them.]

[When she turns around he snaps out of it and shakes his head again, starting after her with a roll of his eyes.] Why don't you walk on two feet like a normal person, jegus.

[She just sticks her tongue out at him at that, hoping to get rid of a bit of the awkwardness in the air. It's so thick that you could cut through it.]

This is normal fur me. I don't know how you guys can go around on two legs all the time.

[She begins to lead him to the lobby first. They'll have to pass through there anyway, and she can show him the computers that show the layout of the Gardens.]

Nepeta you're not actually a cat. You do know that, right?

[He shakes his head again, the closest expression he ever gets to a smile briefly crossing his features.] But whatever, lead away, furry one.

Yea, yea. I know. But old habits are hard to break. [Not that she had every really tried]

[The first stop is one of the computer terminals in the lobby--the very same one that Matt had used when he showed her them, in fact]

These have really helpful maps, and lotsa infurmation about this place and just what's going on so if you ever need to find a place you can always check these. [she brings up the maps, centering on the lobby so it shows all the surrounding areas]

[He peers over her shoulder and watches her pull up the maps, frowning and gesturing at the screen.]

So we're... [He guesstimates approximately where they are at present, in the Lobby.] Here?
