Characters: Sollux Captor and open
Setting: Starting in room 2-06, but you can assume he's wandering the halls anywhere, since he'll go out exploring.
Format: I'll follow your lead.
Summary: Sollux has just arrived (~~again~~) and he's confused and Unhappy about it.
Warnings: None yet.

Sollux didn't remember falling asleep, but he definitely remembered waking up. He fought the sleep paralysis for the full thirty seconds, and then shot up from the bed the moment his eyes opened, his teeth bared in a snarl.

He'd been dreaming...something. Something bad. He always woke up badly when he dreamed about his own death, but the specifics were fading like wisps of fog in the morning, and he couldn't be sure if it was a vision or not. The voices were sure loud, though. Fuck were they loud.

He was distracted from the question of the dream, though, as he looked around the unfamiliar room in confusion. "What the actual fuck?"

[Nod, then offers Tavros a sheepish grin] Thith whole plathe ith really fucked up. Don't think I don't feel it jutht becauthe I guethh motht of the trollth here are people I'm uthed to.

...Yeah. I know, I'm not saying you don't feel it or anything... Just when everyone you run into isn't who you think they are...it's weird.

[But giving Sollux a small grin.] I suppose it isn't all that bad though.

[He nods again. This is still a little weird, looking at someone who really is a stranger, but looks so much like the Tavros he knows. But he's trying to compartmentalize]

Thooner or later, everyone will get it, and it won't be thuch a big deal. Ekthept maybe if people are new or leave and come back without memorieth, I guethh.

Tho time for more ignorant quethtionth... are you all into flarping fiduthpawn and thtuff, too? Or ith that another way you're different?

Yeah, I suppose. I just feel weird...having to ask what color someone is...all the time.

[Pulling his hoodie back down, feeling a little more comfortable.]

Oh, I flarp sometimes, yeah. You'd sometimes flarp with me too! Just...not that often, though.

Yeah, that'th pretty awkward, but it'th over quickly. What ith with that, anyway?

[He blinks] I flarp? Really?

...Uh. Well... Pyrope...ripped out my eyes. So...yeah.

But yeah! You flarped. But mostly it was just Karkat, Eridan, Feferi, and me.

She did what? [All the staring. All of it. Also, that is a weird flarping combination]

Yeah... Not really pleasant.

[Tapping the goggles/shades again.] Robotic eyes.

...Wow. I guethh it'th better than being paralythed, maybe. But thtill. Fuck. [He resists the urge to pat Tavros on the shoulder. Just a bit too much pity in here for his taste at the moment.]

Yeah, I heard about that from the other...me. It's just a little annoying I guess, to just see in teal.

[Sighing. Please no pity. He has a matesprit already.]

Yeah, that'd be annoying. [He smiles] Who made thothe eyeth? [Yeah, he's learning not to make assumptions now. He's fully expecting to hear it was Nepeta or something.

And dude, Sollux has got a matesprit, too. Calm your tits, yo. If anything, it's pale, and he really doesn't know you well enough, anyway.]

[Oh he's open in the pale department. Not that he's thinking that or anything.

Watch it be--]

Nepeta... [Yeah.]

........You're totally fucking with me.

...Nope! It was...Nepeta, yeah.

[A bit of a laugh] I can't even imagine a Nepeta who'th good with mechanicth.

[ . . . ]

Well, she is good... She...wanted a robotic arm, thing. So she made one for herself...

[He does not understand that laugh, Sollux!]

[More...brain...breakage] Did Nepeta lothe her arm thomehow?

...

Ripped it off. Herself... For said robotic arm.

...Fucked up. [There really aren't any other words for that]

[Shrugging!]

Heh, bluebloods, you know.

Yeah, I guethh. [Wry. Okay, he's over it now.] Well, thith hath been a very confuthing converthation, tho far...

I...guess it has been. Sorry for being...confusing.

[Shrugging!]

Nah, it wathn't you! Not your fault our univertheth are tho different. [He grins and punches Tavros in the shoulder]

[Ow. Rubbing his shoulder, but hey, he's smiling too.]

Heheh... Yeah, that's true. I just need to...learn more about you guys too.

Well, I guethh I can enlighten you. [He thinks for a second] It wath Vrithka who paralythed the other Tavroth. Then she controlled me into killing Aradia, and then blinded Terethi after Terethi blew up her arm and eye. It'th Equiuth who doeth all the mechanical shit.
