[The screen flickers for a moment, it's shaking slightly and if you're familiar with the area you'll notice where this is: the entrance to the catacombs. Footsteps are heard, as well as soft panting and shaky breath. She... finally made it. There's a pained sigh of relief, but then a gasp as she loses momentum, tripping over herself. The watch

I couldn't say when you were here last. But I'll talk to you. You've been in the catacombs?

How about this voice Aradia? Sorry about the stutter.

[martin_sorvat]

"A..Aradia!? Oh my gosh, uhh, where are you, uhh, n-no wait, I uhh, know where you are, I'm coming to g-get you okay?" [Oh god oh god oh god, she looked very sick. Tavros was very worried. Why was he seeing so many of his friends come out of he catacombs hurt?! And just when he got back from dying too...]

[He gets to his bike quickly, awaiting for a reply from her before starting off.]

[toarise]

[She just wanted to sleep, to curl up on the ground and rest. She was about to do this when she heard his voice. And she couldn't be happier.]

T...avros? I'm at the catacombs...

...Okay. I'll be waiting for you.

[martin_sorvat]

[He nodded to his communicator and set off on his bike with a purpose! It didn't take him long at all, and he quickly parked and went to look for her, running to her when he spotted her, his eyes weary, concerned.]

"Aradia, oh god, are you, uhh okay? I will bring you somewhere to uhh, f-feel better, okay?" [He seems rather hysterical as he looks over her, not sure if he should touch her or not, and help her walk.]

[toarise]

[Oh god he looked so worried and it was all her fault. So she'll put on a brave face just for him, slowly getting to her own feet, although her balance left much to be desired. Her body was exhausted, it was very difficult to hide this fact.]

I'm fine, just tired. ...I'm just so happy to see you!

[To be honest, when in the catacombs, she reverted to her old self. She felt she was d00med to never see her friends again. So her smile falters slightly.]

...Yes. I would like to go somewhere where I can feel better.

[Oh my god John has seriously had enough of these goddamn catacombs. Everyone keeps getting hurt.

His worried face crops up, and from the faint cyan glow around him, it looks like he's already on his way. He's done this enough times to know the way there.]

Hey! Goddamn--pleeeeeease tell me you're okay!

[Also didn't help that he recognized the dark hair, gray skin -- was she a troll?]

[voice]

[toarise]

[She didn't recognize the voice-- but his face was familiar. It took her a moment when... ping!]

...John human? Hello, John.

It's okay, please don't be worried. Tavros- do you know Tavros? He's on his way right now. You don't need to come all this way.

[Pausing a moment as she shifts into a more comfortable position.]

But... could you talk with me while I wait? I've missed hearing voices.

[video]

[derpleader]

You are a troll! Oh, gosh -- yes, that's me. But, um...which one are you?

[He appears to halt in midair, muling this over in his head.] Uh, Tavros...is he the stuttery brown one? [He's also the one troll John is sort of awkward around. The knowledge that he'll be there is enough to make John shy away.] Well, if you're sure...but yeah, of course I'll talk with you. I'd love to talk to you, even!

[toarise]

Yes, I'm a troll. My name is Aradia- I don't believe we've spoken yet, but I do know your friend Dave.

And yes, that's Tavros. He's a very good friend of mine.

[She pauses a moment, her tone picking up, already in a better mood.]

I see you have a very nice outfit there, John. You hit God Tier too?

[Terezi had learned that Aradia was here, but her lack of greeting when she arrived had worried here a little. But then, many of the others hadn't responded to her post either, so she hadn't been too worried. And now this. Terezi licked the screen upon hearing Aradia's weak voice, and was horrified at what she "saw". She resolves to help her, despite the fact that she has no idea where she's going yet, as she just arrived here.]

Aradia! I am coming to find you so stay there! [And true to her word she will be hurrying over, although it will take her quite a while to find her seeing as Ruby City is a new environment for her. But her trusty nose will eventually get her there.]

[audio]

[toarise]

...Terezi?

[Excuse her a moment, she was very confused. Was she... finallyin the city? Or was this a weird halucination or something from being down there so long. Either way she was... happy. And relieved.]

It's okay. Tavros is on his way, please don't get lost!

[video]

[l1br4tor]

Yes it's me!

[At the news that Tavros is coming to help, she slows her pace, but that doesn't stop her entirely. She wants to make sure her old friend is safe darn it!] Are you sure Tavros will be able to help you? [She is licking at the screen. Have a lovely tongue shot.] You are injured pretty badly. [You didn't need a screen licking to tell you that Terezi.]

[toarise]

Oh yes, he has legs and a two wheeled motored device! I have all faith that he'll be here in a timely fashion.

[She's giving a faint laugh, oh she missed you, Terezi.] I'm fine, I was just a little careless down there.

[esoteric_rose]

What matters now is that you're back, right?

[toarise]

Yes, that's right. I will try and not do that again- I probably worried some of my friends.

[esoteric_rose]

Probably, but if they are your friends, they cannot blame you.
