Characters: Sollux Captor and YOU
Setting: Anywhere you like, he'll be walking down the stairs towards the cafeteria
Format: Any is fine; I'll follow your lead
Summary: Sollux is having some trouble recovering from his labyrinth punishment
Warning: Baw.

[Sollux spent the first day after being released from the labyrinth curled up on his sleeping rectangle. He didn't much respond to anything his roommates might have said to him, lost in his own brain, and confused.

The couple of days he spent as a Helmsman seemed like an eternity, and now that he's been released, he doesn't know what to do with himself. The memories of who he is seem like foreign invaders. Sollux. He's Sollux, right? Who is Sollux?

Hunger, and a vague knowledge that food doesn't come intravenously to him here finally drives him to his feet and out of the door.]

[papshooshing]

They make me want to toss your ass out the nearest window.

[thekidsare0kay]

Wow, weird reaction. [He squeezes Karkat's hand and starts for the stairs. So long as he's with Karkat, he's sure he'll feel more like himself]

[papshooshing]

It's been emotionally taxing the last few days, okay?
