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?"

I suppose... [Even if everything is teal now for him.]

...No, I don't, really. I guess I do...hate Pyrope though. Uh, not the one here, mine. But that's all...

[Odd to think of Tavros hating anyone] Good to know you've got a thpine. I'd sure hate thomeone who did that to me, though I dunno, it'd probably be platonic.

[Maybe he'll see Tavros get angry, someday in the tower.]

Yeah, guhh.... She doesn't feel that way though, toward me I think, and I'm also...kind of scared of her. But...whatever.

[He nods, but doubtfully. He doesn't want to ask too many questions about this, worried that it's too painful. But he is curious why Terezi would do something like that. And if it wasn't out of hatred, then why?]

I guethh that'th a pretty normal reaction.

[Scratching the back of his neck.]

Yeah... What about you...? Do you have the others filled?

[He shakes his head] I thought maybe FF and I were getting pale, but I'm not sure what'll happen with that. ...And I think Eridan wants to get caliginouth with me, but no way tho long ath he'th ath shithive maggotth ath he wath the latht time I thaw him.

Anyway, I dunno, both of thothe could be wishful thinking, anyway. They're both thea dwellerth, for gog'th thake.

....Guhh... Sea dwellers... [Even if his matesprit is one, Tavros doesn't really like them, still.]

I guess that's okay... [Another shrug.] Quadrants can be hard to fill.

Yeah, I know, right? [He grins sheepishly] Quadrantth are hard, for sure. But I guethh there'th no big rush. I'll take thingth ath they come.

Yeah... That's a pretty good plan, I think. There's not really a big rush for me either. Uh...not now anyway. [Since he does look older, whoops.]

Yeah, no fucking droneth. [Though belatedly he realizes he never asked a pretty important question] Hey, did you play Thgrub?

Sgrub? ...Yeah that thing. We just started playing it, actually. I got to my land and everything...then I ended up here.

Oh yeah, okay. [At least he knows what he's talking about] We jutht won before I got here. But thingth went to shit after we won.

...What happened?

[Curious!]

Well, we created the human univerthe, like we were thuppothed to, and then thith demon from their univerthe came through and attacked uth. Tho we had to hide on thith athteroid in the Veil, and we've been thtuck there for a few hourth.

...Not really sure how we're going to get out, but Karkat dethided that trolling the humanth wath the betht plan, becauthe he wath pithhed off, tho mothtly we've been wathting time.

...

[Well then...]

Seems like it's...better to be here. Then where you were, I guess... I'm not sure since I wasn't there... But that sounds...really bad.

But you were the ones that created the...humans? I was wondering where they came from...

[Aha, this is more of the unsure Tavros he's used to. Sollux nods, bemused] Yeah, apparently the whole point of the game wathn't to remake our world, but to create a new one for uth to rule over ath godth. And yeah, being here...I dunno if it'th good, but where we were really thucked.

[Unsure, because he's wondering if his session would have ended up like that.]

Interesting... I would think it would suck, yeah...

[Sollux doesn't know, but it seems pretty possible. Despite the blood swapping, things seem pretty much the same in many ways.]

Yeah, but hey, maybe thith plathe really ith here to thave uth. Even if it ith really fucked up.

Not sure if I...buy the whole saving thing. But it is very...possible.

[Such a fucked up place.]

Yeah, neither do I. I think it'th thome kind of diabolical ekthperiment or thomething. But at leatht we're not dead yet. [He rubs his temple with two fingers] Maybe thoon, but not yet.

[Pausing...]

Apparently...you can die here. Well, that part was a given, but... You die and come back. Apparently the...brown me died here, yet a few days later he seemed fine.

Oh...That'th fucking wonderful. [No wonder the voices are so loud]

Yeah...

...You okay?

[Blinks, then realizes he was rubbing his temple] Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Jutht a bit of a headache. I've had worthe.

...If you say so. [He doesn't even know why he asked, to be honest.]
