[Nepeta had been in significantly higher moods ever since Equius had arrived. Beautiful as the gardens were, and as happy as she was to be meeting new people, especially ones who were so nice, not having her moirail around had been like missing a part of who she was. Now if only Terezi and Karkat were here--and all the others as well. Then things

[While she enjoys the sun, Gabrielle enjoys the quiet nights of the Garden, as well. She misses the usual sound of the city streets below her window, the car lights making patterns on the walls of her apartment, and she misses the rain pelting against the windows-obscured city lights fractured into a painting.]

[But the nights through the Gardens were just as pleasant. Almost fantasy-like, herself in a dream that she fit perfectly into. She takes a moment to smoke her cigarette, blowing the smoke into the air as if she were on a camera-like a 1940s actress-taking in the beauty of the sunset.]

[A distance walking toward her caught her attention, as she turned to look at it. Figuring it is someone who wants to look at the building, she gently turns on her heels to face them. Her lips press into a smile.] Coming to look at the apartments?

[bestmoirail]

[This one was a pretty human, Nepeta noted as she drew closer. There was something almost elegant in the way she carried herself that reminded Nepeta a little of Kanaya, and to a degree the Aradia she had seen in her dreams.

Her eyes flickered from Gabrielle to the buildings behind her, before returning to her. She nodded, returning the smile.]

I've never been up here befur. Is this your home?

[aureation]

You could say that. [She gently turns her head to look at the building towering behind her. It looks so out of place in the Gardens, but it seems to fit Gabrielle herself.] I created it not that long ago, but I don't live in it by myself.

[bestmoirail]

Oh! You mean with the dirt? [she takes another look at the apartments and her eyes widen]

Wow...so they really can make anything, that's amazing!

[restlessdevil]

[Zenobia is nearby, just staring at the building.] What a large tower. It kind of looks unusual, too.

[bestmoirail]

[Nepeta catches Zenobia's comment, and looks her way. Here was a person she had not met before--at least, she thought she hadn't. She knew she hadn't in person at least because she definitely would have remembered anyone with a...wing? Like that.

Of course, seeing something unfamiliar like that makes her curious and she makes her way over to Zenobia]

It is isn't it? Do you know what it's fur?

[restlessdevil]

Oh, hello! I have no idea. There aren't any buildings like it in my world.

[Zenobia takes a good look at Nepeta.]...Huh. Do you know someone named Equius? You both have horns and a similar skin color. Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself. My name's Zenobia. It's nice to meet you.

[bestmoirail]

[Of course Nepeta perks right about at the mention of Equius, she grins and nods]

My name is Nepeta. Very purrleased to meet you! Equius is also a troll like me and she's my moirail!

[gentlecuteside]

[Amamiya sat cross-legged at the edge of the Garden. It was nice and isolated out here, which was perfect for what she had in mind: training her psi. Her Rise and Trance were fine, but her Burst was getting a bit rusty. Which was mostly fine, as it was outside of her specialty, but her teacher had always stressed the importance of training all three types.]

[The practical upshot of which, once you got past all the technical mumbo-jumbo, is that she was training her telekinesis, pulling blocks of dirt out of the ground and arranging them into complex shapes.]

[Sweat broke out on her brow as she increased the load she was lifting, and compressed it down into a cube. She had really let this get too rusty.]

[bestmoirail]

[When Nepeta caught sight of Amamiya, she didn't go to her right away. Instead she watched with wide eyes from where she was. Such powers weren't an unusual sight, many lower blood trolls had all kinds of abilities but she hadn't thought that humans were naturally capable of it. From what she observed of the ones she and her fellow trolls had created, none of them had any powers except for those that SBURB had gifted them.

She quietly observed her for a while longer before finally scampering over to her, making a little more noise than usual so she hopefully would not surprise her]

That's purrty amazing!

[gentlecuteside]

[Amamiya heard her coming all right, but with her focus so tightly wound up in this exercise, she's a big bundle of combat instincts. Before she even realizes what she's doing, she's dropped the dirt and spun in place, pulling her sword out in one smooth motion.]

[Then she realizes that she just drew on a totally innocent person, and slid it back into the sheath, looking rather abashed.]

Sorry. You startled me.

[bestmoirail]

[Nepeta tensed when she saw the sword unsheathed and was going to released her own claws, but then Amamiya relaxed. She actually laughed a little at the situation.]

It's okay! I guess I shouldn't have interrupted but I was real curious at to how you were doing that.
