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?"

Everything hurt. Everything hurt and his head was pounding and his vision was blurring and fuck this couldn't be happening this couldn't be happening. It hurt to breathe. It hurt to try to breathe. His rib cage screamed at him with each staggered breath -- each one a little more difficult than the last. Every muscle, every single bone in his body, felt like they had been broken and shattered, ripped and torn to shreds.

Ed braced himself, gritting his teeth and slowly attempting to pull himself up off the ground. For a second he was doing just fine, but then a biting, sharp pain -- more pain that he had felt in a long, long time -- in his stomach made him freeze. His breath caught in his chest. His heart skipped more than a few beats and his eyes went wide as the world starting spinning. He choked and looked down, immediately wishing that he hadn't. A piece of metal, a long beam from some abandoned construction work, ran right through him. He was fucking skewered. ... He was going to die here, wasn't he?

Then he woke up and the pain was gone.

He struggled, fighting against the sleep paralysis as his mind raced -- where was he? Did someone find him in that mind shaft and bring him here? But how? There was no way. That wasn't a dream right? It couldn't have been a dream. He remembered it too well, that pain was real.

Thirty seconds later Ed shot up with a strangled sort of scream. His chest heaved with each breath as he looked around the room. This was definitely not a mineshaft. This wasn't a place he knew and... he wasn't here by himself.

"What the fuck? What... who the hell are you?"

Terezi was wandering the tower, as usual, still doing her best to find out as much as she could about what was happening. She hadn't had much luck so far, and while a challenge was always welcome, there was barely any information to go on here.

She didn't know why their world had nearly the most representatives. Or why they had these stupid collars. Or why the tower didn't seem to follow any sort of sane architectural plan.

But when she caught Sollux's scent, all of those questions were shoved to the back of her mind, because he was okay, and here, and she hadn't realized how much she'd been worrying about him.

"Heyyy, Sollux!"

[ since Castor and Pollux are rooming in 2-02, they're walking down the hall. steps in perfect sync. they're carrying on with conversation. pointless, since it's really one single thought in the end. ]

You have four horns! That's so cool!! Are you the bestest troll because of that?

[Karkat had made a point not to leave his room all that often after the shenanigans that had occurred upon his arrival. He was not at all interested in those horrible creatures pretending to be his friends -- let alone having his soul sucked out for his trouble.

But occasionally, a growing troll has to eat -- so have a bluesuited Karkat, complete with vision eightfold and slightly gelled hair walking back down the hallway.]

Human food was gross. Seriously, were they trying to kill him? Wouldn't that be clever, "rescuing" him, then killing him through shitty meals, shortly after. Eridan, after an uninspiring cafeteria meal, was making his way back up to his room, 2-04. He'd gone back to not wearing his cape but he still had his scarf wrapped firmly about his collar. No-one was ever going to get to see that atrocity if he could help it.

He froze with his hand on the handle of his door when he realised Sollux was in the hall. How did he miss him? He couldn't decide, though. Did he want to avoid the freak and avoid, say, possibly getting culled by at least two of the other trolls? Or was that a fucking lame move, did he have a chance if he made a move? No, nooope, he'd killed Fef. No more chances. So fucking stupid.

He opened his door, took a step in, and then reconsidered. Maybe that would've made Sollux hate him more, hate him properly. Fuck, he didn't know what he thought.

"Sollux!"

Hope you weren't planning on being all doom-and-gloom and bad spirits for long, Sollux.

Aradia had spotted him- just barely- as she barreled down an adjacent hallway as fast as her wings would take her, and she backtracked and then made a beeline (hee!) straight for him. She wasn't sure if he'd be able to see her or not though (timeline shenanigans, what are they really?) so she decided shouting a warning would probably help.

She really hoped he wasn't from some horrible alternate reality though. Those were getting hard to keep track of!

[Wandering the tower, always wandering. It's not like he has anything better to do. But wait one moment.]

...Sollux? [Sup, Sollux, it's a teal Tavros.]
