006.
Characters: [AU1] Kanaya Maryam (in [AU1] Karkat's body) and OPEN!
Setting: Room 1-12, Floor 4 (lounge), Floor 10 (aquarium), Floor 12 (space), Floor 19 (research library). Please specify which in the subject line!
Format: Action, but I'll match 'u'
Summary: Kanaya wakes up in her moirail's body and tries to figure out what the fuck is going on.
Warnings: Uncontrollable empathy! If you don't mind specifying your character's emotions in your tags, that would be very helpful to me. (: Also, potential emotion stealing if Kanaya is under too much stress; please specify in your subject line if you are alright with Kanaya absorbing some of your character's emotions! Tags will come fromoutscandaled.
♍Room 1-12; closed to Suzaku (in Jin's body), the Signless (in Ryuho's body), and Akihiko (in Shinjiro's body)
[Kanaya tends to wake up early regardless, since she's used to a diurnal schedule (having been a fugitive that runs during the day and all). Still, something isn't right when she wakes up. Her horns rest differently on the pillow; for that matter, the pillow she's using isn't her favorite brown one.
As she shifts, she notices that she's wearing pants. The confusion seeps in quickly. She throws the covers off, and lo and behold, they're dress pants. Very familiar ones.
Her hands fly up into her hair. Nubby horns.
Her breathing is audibly panicked now, almost to the point of hyperventilation. She scrambles upright and tugs out the front of the suit jacket. Right there, on the breast of it, is the cerulean sign she has become familiar with over the sweeps.
Kanaya curls up immediately, drawing her knees to her chest and burying her fingers in her hair. She isn't looking at anyone; her eyes are wide but unseeing for the moment, as she's too lost in her panic to do much.
She doesn't even think of Karkat's roommates.]
♍Floor 4; open
[After making a post on the network to assess the situation, Kanaya had made her way to the lounge on the fourth floor, as promised. She's seated on one of the large couches closer to the center of the room, and she's made sure to pick one that faces the staircase.
She's picking nervously at Karkat's well-kept talons and fidgeting every so often. Seems she's waiting for the other shoe to drop.]
♍Floor 10; open
[Following her meetings in the lounge, Kanaya ventured upwards, unwilling to chance eating just yet. When she reaches the aquarium floor, she stops. Anyone who finds her here will see Karkat's body staring in unhidden intrigue at the fish as they pass by; occasionally, Kanaya reaches forwards to skim her fingertips across the surface of the suspended water. She doesn't dare to actually dip her hand in.
Mostly because Karkat will kill her if she ruins his suit.]
♍Floor 12; open
[Kanaya doesn't like this floor, but it's inevitable every time that she'll stop on it to watch the destruction of at least a few universes with sad resignation. She eventually takes a seat on the floor against one of the walls, her legs crossed and her shoulders slumped as per her usual habit of having terrible posture. She sits so quietly that someone passing by might not even notice her at first.]
♍Floor 19; open
[After depressing herself on the space floor, Kanaya decides it's best to scour the library on the way up, in the hopes that there will be something pertaining to their situation or how to go about fixing it.
She sits at a table with quite a few books scattered, open, around her, but they're only tangentially relevant at best, seeing as so much of the nonfiction works have been removed. If she steals a glance at you and you happen to look out of sorts (or even if you're just not busy), she'll politely pose a question:] Um, excuse me. I'm aware that this is a somewhat strange question, but-- does that body belong to you?

no subject
Welp that sure is Equius who probably thinks she's Karkat.
Kanaya can't help but narrow her eyes a little in reflex.] Some of us were not so fortunate. I suppose you have not yet encountered anyone else with this problem?
no subject
[He doesn't really pay much mind to the narrowed eyes or the suddenly-colder tone; they were closer to typical Karkat than anything this person was doing earlier, so maybe that was just the body working off of muscle memory or something. Still, since he didn't know who this person actually was, he decided that maybe it was a good idea to treat them like they were Karkat anyway.]
That's correct.
no subject
[There's a note of suspicion to her voice, but that's because she can tell what Equius is feeling, which is very strange because it's not like she ever has reason to know or ask any other time. He seems a little unsure.
She can't decide if she should tell him who she is or let him sweat it out a while.]
I'm surprised that I am the first you have run into.
no subject
[Not that it's hard to tell what he's feeling, even without the Heart powers.]
...Well, I doubt this will be over by the end of the day, at any rate. So I suppose it probably doesn't make that much of a difference.
no subject
When you decide to update yourself on the recent posts, they all appear to be anonymous. The other posting options aren't available. If this persists for more than a day, I imagine it will become even less navigable than it already is.
It may be in your best interests to see if any of your close friends have made any announcements regarding this development, to minimize future confusion.
no subject
[He nods at her suggestion, regardless of how unpleasant the tone of voice is. It'll be awkward no matter what happens, as he's seen already from this conversation here, but the more people he identifies, the better.] You're right... I will check more frequently from now on. Thank you.
no subject
Well, I am the Supreme High God of Dishing Out Advice.
[...
wow did she actually just say that.
Judging by the way her brows furrow in perplexity at her own words, Kanaya isn't entirely sure where that came from.]
no subject
Are you alright?
no subject
[Kanaya grimaces. Equius is only asking that because he doesn't know who's in this body.
She decides to answer regardless, if only because it helps her pinpoint why that was so disconcerting.]
I am suddenly feeling even less like myself than I did when I first awoke.
no subject
Is Karkat's body giving you repercussions?
no subject
oh gross]
It appears so. How unfortunate.
[Her tone makes it kind of obvious that she knows who Karkat is.]
no subject
Yes. But... he's quite powerful, so be careful with them, alright?
[Sorry Kanaya, your tone can't be "kind of obvious" if you want it to get through to him.]
no subject
[Does that help.]
I admit I am somewhat concerned about my ability to control them.
no subject
Well, have they... manifested accidentally yet?
no subject
I have not mind-controlled anyone, however.
