First Entrance

[bloodyvirgo]

After a particularly interesting arrival, Kanaya arrives at the back door with her sleeping friend still in her arms. It takes a moment of shifting and juggling around, but eventually the troll manages to coax the door open and takes a step inside-

Only to take a hasty step back with a muttered curse she's picked up from Karkat.

"Oh" she says,

Karkat hits the ground with a startled, flailing squawk. "WHAT THE FUCK, MARYAM!"

"FIRST YOU KNOCK ME OUT WITH YOUR BULLSHIT SYLPH POWERS AND THEN YOU DRAG ME IN HERE AND WAKE ME UP BY DROPPING ME ON THE GROUND LIKE A MATERNAL FEATHERY ASSHOLE DROPPING STRIPS OF CHOLERBEAR INTO THE PEEPING MAWS OF HER HATCHLINGS, PUBLIC HUMILIATION AND GRIEVIOUS HEAD INJURY!"

"HELP ME THE HELL UP."

[bloodyvirgo]

Kanaya's still staring at the bar at large, Karkat's rant barely reaching her ears as she holds her lipstick in one hand tightly. She does, however, reach down with her free hand to help heave her friend to his feet, and if her grip on him is a little tighter than usual, it can be forgiven. Right?

"this is" she pauses as her voice wavers and, clearing her throat, she tries again. "This Is The Place You Were Informing Me About Correct"

[crabbycustomer]

"YES, OBVIOUSLY. CALM DOWN, I REALIZE THIS SEEMS LIKE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE TO HAVE IN ONE ROOM, LET ALONE STRANGERS, BUT NONE OF THEM ARE GOING TO TRY TO KILL YOU. REMEMBER, THEY'RE HUMANS, OR MOST OF THEM ARE. COME SIT DOWN AND PUT THAT THING AWAY BEFORE YOU FLIP OUT AND CUT SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF. OR DRAW SOME REALLY SHIT MODERN ART ON THEIR FACE."

[bloodyvirgo]

She takes a notable, steadying breath at his reassurance, some of the tension easing from her face and shoulders.

"My Apologies" she says, her lipstick disapearing and her grip on Karkat loosening some. He was her friend and leader, and if he said she was safe, then she is. "And It Was Not My Intention To Relinquish My Hold On You I was Merely Startled"

pP: New Person!
pP: Welcome to Milliways!

[bloodyvirgo]

GA: Oh
GA: Hello

[tyler_marlocke]

pP:Who is this, did you just join Karkat's server here?

...one could get the impression of an extremely curious but well meaning person on the other side of this screen.

[bloodyvirgo]

A cursory glance at her available chumproll reveals that indeed, there are plenty more people to troll than normal. All with unfamiliar names.

GA: My Name Is Kanaya
GA: And I Suppose I Have
GA: My Husktop Must Have Connected Me To The Server Automatically

In a suspiciously velvety-looking purple armchair in one dim corner, there rests a pale-haired young maiden, a tome of eldritch lore open upon her knees, eyes closed in what was meant to be merely a moment's rest.

[bloodyvirgo]

In her curious inspection of her surroundings, Kanaya's gaze eventually falls on a familiar form. Rising, and with her palms inexplicably clammy, she pads over with soft footsteps.

"Rose"

[seeswitheyes]

The sound of her own name wakes her from her light doze, though it still takes a moment to sort the troll girl out from the visual blurriness.

"Yes. That is indeed the appellation by which I am referred. Might I inquire as to yours, as prior to finding my way to this bizarre place, I had little-to-no reference for the appearance of any troll, much less given individuals?"

[bloodyvirgo]

"Ah" she says, raising a hand to rub at the back of her neck.

"My Apologies
I Had Forgotten That You Four Would Not Know Us By Our Signs
Or Its Colour
