| Opening Log

[shadowqueen]

Everyone's waking up at once, covered in bits of rubble, temporarily without abilities and with a lurking headache. The castle looms around them, irrepressibly gray, huge and silent. The only noises are the people, rustling as they extract themselves from their sarcophagi and look for exits along the arching walkways.

Better take a look around, and see if anyone else knows what's going on.

[Sollux groans and pushes himself up, getting to his feet and looking around with narrowed eyes. What a headache. And what a creepy, weird place.

It takes him only a second to realize what feels particularly odd.

He doesn't hear the ticking.]

Okay, where the fuck ith thith now?

[sicarius]

[...where is this? Good lord what are you, Sollux. Pardon Ezio for staring.

He speaks after a good moment or so of studying the thing, not sure what to say at first.]

I am sure many of us would like to know.

[thekidsare0kay]

[Someone's staring at him, and Sollux turns to regard the alien with his red and blue eyes.]

Tho maybe we should find out. You got a problem?

[forgodssakeerik]

..Oh.

_{[really that's all he can say, at first, as he almost trips over Sollux, and then he shakes his head, flashing a quick and uneasy smile.]}

I'm sorry, I, ah.. almost didn't see you there?

[thekidsare0kay]

[The troll bares his teeth reflexively and backs up, putting a bit of space between himself and the taller human]

Watch it, then.

[forgodssakeerik]

_{[he puts his hands up, defensively, and puts on a very friendly and cautious expression. he doesn't want to frighten this little creature.]}

I'm very sorry, I'm usually much less clumsy.

Are you stuck here, too, then?

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux has about twice as many teeth as would fit in his mouth, strictly speaking. But he relaxes quickly after that reflexive challenge, and his lips (mostly) cover his teeth again]

Yeah, I guethh I'm thtuck here, too. Like everyone elthe here, I thuppothe. Where were you before you got here?

my roommate finds it adorable that you're writing out his lisp. XD

[forgodssakeerik]

Home.

_{[a little nervous laugh. well, duh, Charles. he shakes his head.]}

New York state. You?

I'm so glad it's not annoying, because I love it XDDDD;;;;

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux shrugs helplessly] What planet were you on? Earth? You look like a human.

I wath in The Thity. I don't know what planet. It'th thort of a weird plathe, with a ticking you can hear all the time.

it's cute! also I'm loling at the idea of them. being friends somehow. Charles forever pestering him

[forgodssakeerik]

..Yes, Earth.

_{[enjoy this flabbergasted look.]}

..What do you mean, you didn't know what planet? You're not a mutant?

This must happen, for so many reasons

[thekidsare0kay]

[Have a rather boggled look right back, Charles]

Of courthe I'm a mutant. Have you ever theen a troll with four hornth before?

I know right. :|a

[forgodssakeerik]

I've never seen a mutant with four horns before, no, but I've certainly seen mutants with different colours and shapes of body-

Troll? Is that what you're calling yourself? _{[he's a little amused at the notion, but confused is still winning out, so he's half-smiling without any real reason to..]}

[thekidsare0kay]

[The boggled look isn't going away, but it is relaxing a little and shifting towards bemusement. He's got a half-smile answering yours.]

Yeah, that'th what I am, a troll. My name'th Thollukth Captor.

[forgodssakeerik]

It's nice to meet you, Sollux, but I must admit, I'm still a little confused. Why do you prefer troll..?

[thekidsare0kay]

Why? Becauthe that'th the name of my thpethieth! Are you theriouth? I might ath well athk you why do you prefer human?

[forgodssakeerik]

Of your species..?

..So, you aren't human, then?

[thekidsare0kay]

Duh.

[Just staring at you, Charles. Really. Just. Staring.]
