Summary: Canada discovers some new floors.

Seventh Floor

Canada peered into the pool, uncertain of its depths. She was a strong swimmer and those caves down below were intriguing. Maybe just a little dip into the water, but she didn't have a swimsuit. This was a strange thing to wake up to on her day of all days. Canada Day present perhaps? She wasn't sure. For now she waffled at the edge of the pool, Kumariie batting at the water's surface beside her.

Fifth Floor

The viewfinders were new and strange and she settled in front of one with a bit of wariness.

"Is...this home now?"

The sense of connection was almost immediate, but it took her breath away to see the devastation. The world she saw through the viewfinder was bare, desolate. If she stared long enough, she almost recognize landmarks and then suddenly, her heart hurt. A sudden heart-wrenching pain that brought tears to her eyes when even the view of her world could not. She felt her millions of people die and all that...that pain.

She pushed back from the viewfinder and buried her face in her hands, sobbing as quietly as she could. She wanted to be home...Only home was gone now wasn't it?

... Oh. I didn't know that, they could, err, do something like that.

Did it look, um, really bad for you.

...I could feel a lot of deaths. It was pretty bad.

That doesn't, really sound that good, at all. Um. I'm sorry that, you had to feel that, because that can't have been fun.

It wasn't, but it's no one's fault, you know? It's a thing that happened.

I know, but... that doesn't mean that, I won't feel bad, because that is what I feel right now.

Is there a way I can make you...not feel bad?

Umm, if you would be, a little happier, maybe? Although... I guess that it might be hard, considering everything.

[giggles] Right, I shall try to be happier.

Okay, although-- um. Don't try to force it, since, that is probably not the best kind of happiness.

Of course, no one likes to be forced to feel anything.

Okay-- I was just making sure, about that, too.

I'll be fine Tavros but it's sweet of you to worry.

Well... um, worrying is something that, will probably always happen. But, I'm glad that you will be fine.

Worrying does you no good, you know. I mean mostly, it mostly does you no good. Worrying a little is ok.

Oh. Well-- I guess that makes sense. So. Maybe I will try to worry less.

Good! I mean, it's good to worry less, right?

Oh--um. If you need any help--if Vriska bothers you? Let me know? Kanaya said she might.

Uh, I can definitely do that, if you really want me to, because she probably will, and it won't be that good. To be honest, um, I don't really like her, that much.

Um Kanaya said something about red and black? Troll romance seems strange but if I can help, I will. You don't seem like you want this relationship?

Yeah, it is, um, kind of complicated. And... you're right when you say that, I don't completely want it, because, I'm kind of scared of Vriska, and I don't completely like her, I guess, because of that.

You shouldn't be in a relationship with someone you're scared of...And you are a little young for something serious.

It isn't, um, really something that I want to be in. Trolls usually take, romance very seriously though, since, if we don't have things figured out we might die, kind of.

...You might die? Why?

It wouldn't have been, uhh, for awhile yet, but, if trolls don't give drones something, involved with relationships, then they will get killed.

...That's a harsh world.

Um, kind of, I guess, but I was used to it.
