Di! [He sees you sneaking there, and he doesn't really care. He's trotting towards her, big smile on his face] You're back.

[evangeleo]

[Her shoulders tense at the voice. It can't be- His death is still so fresh in her mind, she must be hearing things. Still, she turns to look, and if her heart could stop it would.]

Sign...less? But how? [Her feet move before her mind can register his words and she rushes to close the distance.]

[benigncancer]

[He blinks at her shock, but catches her eagerly and holds her close. Did she forget...?]

Hey, hey there... it's okay. I'm still alive, and everything's fine.

[evangeleo]

[She blinks back tears that threaten to fall from the relief washing over her. He's alive, he's really...]

Oh, Signless. How is this even possible? Not that I'm not thrilled, of course! But I thought- I saw-

[megid0_maiden]

[Aradia's making her way back to her room when she catches sight of the adult troll sneaking through the corridors. Part of her thinks it's probably a bad idea to disturb her but she also can't let a fellow troll seem so distressed and not say something, even if they're sweeps older than her.

Still, she maintains a safe distance before she speaks]

Um...excuse me. Are you all right?

[evangeleo]

[Shoot, she really can't hide in these halls! She turns to regard the younger troll, a little tense.]

I suppose so. As all right as I can be after reading what I found in that respiteblock.

You are...?

[megid0_maiden]

Oh, you mean the world being destroyed? Yes, that's something you never do get used to.

[First Alternia, then their Earth and now, apparently, the entirety of paradox space, at least as far as SGRUB reaches.

At the question, Aradia shrinks back a little, wary of the adult greenblood for now]

I'm sorry. My name is Aradia. I arrived here only a few days ago myself...it seemed like you might need some help and I couldn't just turn a blind eye.

[evangeleo]

I would hope it isn't. It's terrible that such a thing happened.

[She taps her chin thoughtfully. She was hoping to get some answers, but...]

I don't suppose you would know much about this place since you've newly arrived?

[brbtxting]

[In there room Anya spends a good few moments just staring blankly at Disciple, she's never seen anything like her before and Anya's convinced her eyes are playing tricks on her. She takes out her phone and snaps a picture of Disciple, but the horns and gray skin remain]

Horns...?

[evangeleo]

[That makes two of them, because the Disciple is staring at her in confusion and wonderment.]

You're pink, and have no horns. Why is that?

[brbtxting]

[she shrugs]

I'm human.

[evangeleo]

I'm not familiar with that term. What is human?

[forcingrins]

[Redglare knows well the woes of trying to be discrete in these bare hallways.

That doesn't stop her from regarding with curiosity the troll who is clearly attempting the same. Pressing against the wall seems like a lot of wishful thinking to her.

At any rate, she's an adult troll wearing a legislacerator's uniform and she has quite obviously noticed the Disciple. What happens next?]

[evangeleo]

[The Disciple notices Redglare and freezes accordingly. She stares across the hall at her, not moving and not speaking. What should she do? This could be dangerous.

Still, she doesn't take off just yet. Something encourages her to stay.]

[forcingrins]

[it's probably best to put an end to the staring contest before things get ridiculous. so Redglare comes closer as she speaks.]

Your stealth maneuvers could use some work.

[evangeleo]

I think I've done well enough up until now.

[She considers backing up to lengthen the distance again, but holds her ground.]

Have you come to catch me, legislacerator?

[wallbangs]

[Yup, she sticks out like a sore thumb in all that black. The Handmaid raises her eyebrows, regarding the other troll disdainfully.]

What are you doing?

[evangeleo]

[It's worth a try anyway! At least shadows work to her advantage. Quit judging her right this instant. She turns to look at the other troll.]

I should think it's obvious. I'm investigating.

[wallbangs]

You're doing a bad job.

[evangeleo]

Thank you for the observation. Though I've not really had time enough to investigate to be considered bad at it.
