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?

Room 1-12
Signless turns to glance at the others in the room and quickly comes to recognize Karkat, the cerulean one. Along with others in the room who he did not recognize. It was now apparent that he must be in someone else's body...well of course such a thought was obvious, but the realization was ever present. Knowing the other troll he waved a hand frantically and tried to get their attention.]
Karkat.... What are you doing here in this room? What am I doing here and what is going on to be exact. This is not my voice or my body. Or...such memories...of mine. Something is definitely wrong.
no subject
Looks like her fears are reality, after all. Worse, this person seems to know Karkat, and there's an overwhelmingly large possibility that they have a grudge, considering Karkat's reputation.
She snaps to attention, looking no less tense as she stares down the foreign human.]
Who are you?
[ ooc| HRK I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE but kanaya had a bit of CR with our previous signless u___u if you aren't comfortable with that you don't have to respond! ]
no subject
In my present form I am uncertain who I am, but I myself inhabiting this body, I am called The Signless.
[ ooc| Heh that's fine, I don't mind previous CR.]
no subject
A smile curves her lips. What a relief to find a familiar -- well, not face, exactly...]
I'm Kanaya-- the nullblood one. It is a relief to speak with you again, Signless. I seem to have also found myself in a body that is not my own.
no subject
I am glad to hear that it is a relief, but I am sorry to say that I have never met you. This seems to be a slight common occurrence in this tower. It is also unfortunate that you are not in your own body, I have found that this is the case for me as well. Is there any solution?
no subject
Kanaya deflates a little, even though it seemed at first that he recognized her name. Still, he was right. People came and went all the time...] It is true. I suppose the Signless that I was acquainted with has returned to his universe. I'm sorry for the confusion.
[Well, that's a bummer.]
I am not sure if there is a solution. I do not think I am any more informed about this occurrence than any of the other unsuspecting subjects who have been forcefully involved in this.
