Characters: Nepeta and all of you lovely folks
Setting: The halls , no place in general. She just woke up so she is wandering around!
Format: I will start with prose, but I will go with what you want~
Summary: Nepeta just woke up, has no idea where she is, and is going to be wandering around in search of a few more answers than purrvided -- er, provided.

The last poor Nepeta remembered was having a small argument with Equius, and apologizing profusely to Tavros. The last she remembered, her and all her friends were about to start a game, her unhappily forced onto the team with her moirail.

It felt like it had only been moments before, but after that it was a blur. She had woken up on an unfamiliar object, soft and fluffy like her furs but nothing like it at all. It was strange and she wanted to get off of it right away. She found herself unable to move, though and started to grit her teeth in frustration. Nepeta's head was swimming and it felt like something was on her chest. Almost the sound of a soft growl in her ears.

But as soon as it started, it stopped and she sat up with an unhappy noise. Glancing around and twitching her tail back and forth, she jumped to her feet and glared accusingly at the strange, soft slab.

Then she got the letters.

Her heart fell, and she bit her lip. She barely looked at the letter explaining where to get anything and only focused on one thing: her world was destroyed. This couldn't be true! This clearly was some ridiculous, elaborate roleplay her friends had set up. Perhaps this was even the game they were talking about.

No way were all they gone. Not Equius, not Terezi...not Karkat.

With a firm and resolute smile, she wiggled her rear and headed out the door.

"Don't worry! I bet they are purrobably just hiding! I'll find them, mrrrow!" she cheered, emboldening herself as she wandered into the halls and began to explore.

Canada glance up at the girl wandering down the hall and smiled reassuringly. Perhaps the girl had just been sent home like America, maybe she hadn't gone missing at all.

"Nepeta, you're alright! I was worried, you were taken home I think..."

Romeo grinned as he saw Napeta, he had been so frightened when he couldn't find her, he had thought she had been turned into food like the others who had disapeared! But she must of just been hiding for a while! Maybe she had got lost.

"Hello Napeta!" He ran up to her with a grin and went to clasp her arm in greeting. "I was worried about you!"

Prussia had been wandering his way back up from the kitchens, chewing on one of the few pieces of fruit he'd managed to find down there he nearly knocked into the cat-troll that had been in the hallway.

"Holy shit, ack... wait... THERE ARE MORE OF YOU?!" stares at her for a moment. He lived with Karkat and that was an interesting adventure in itself, but this si the first time he'd bumped into another one of the funny trolls.

As she heard an unfamiliar female voice talk to her, Nepeta's tail fluffed up in reaction. After spending her time in the wild, she had learned to be cautious and careful.

When she spotted the speaker, her eyes widened and a sense of curiosity completely overwhelmed her caution. What was this thing? It didn't look like any troll she had ever seen.

And it knew her name!

"Ah? Wh-what are you? Have we met befur?" she asked, pupils wide and the tip of her tail twitching.

Needless to say, Nepeta was very startled when she was greeted an touched by a strange creature. It wasn't a particularly bad sort of startled, just the kind you would expect from a cat who suddenly had a piece of paper fall on their tail.

She jumped back, giving a noise that could be considered humorous by most, quite similar to a loud meow.

"What are you talking about?" she started, tilting her head and taking a few steps back, "What's with your skin...? Where are your horns?"

Nepeta's tail fluffed in a fleeting moment of the briefest frustration, though it held no anger at all. But when she looked at who she had bumped into, it started to swish in curiosity. She bit her lip, puzzling over this strange white-haired creature, eyes narrowing and staring at him.

"More of me? What are you?" she inquired, tone soft and genuinely interested.

"Yeah, more of you, trolls, or whatever. I'm a country." he blinked and watched her for a moment. "So, uh, what's your name then?"

By this point, Eridan had started to try and avoid the other trolls. It never led to anything good, all he got out of them were death threats and lectures and it was depressing him. Apparently they just couldn't let go of the fact that he'd doomed the future of their race. He hadn't MEANT to, and he was sorry, and wasn't that good enough?

But needless to say, the sight of another troll in the hall didn't excite him. In fact, more than anything, it made him want to hide, even if it was the kittytroll. She probably knew too, and he'd end up looking more like his ancestor than he already did. So instead of stopping, he kind of nodded at her and prepared to try and skirt around her. Maybe go down to the lounge floor for some concentrated moping in an armchair.

Did he just say what she thought he said? She completely dismissed the 'country' notion. After all, what would that mean to her, from a world where there is one empire alone.

"I'm Nepeta! And there are more trolls here? Who? Tell me, purrrrlease!" she pleaded, looking so happy. She knew they were alive!

She was completely caught up in her delight, not even stopping to think about asking for his name.

Nepeta had never found herself too particularly bothered by Eridan. He was a little weird and sometimes came off as creepy, but it wasn't all that bad! And after all, she was patient enough to deal with Equius.

And seeing Eridan right now was the best thing that could have happened. It meant they weren't all gone. It meant that everything was okay! As he nodded at her, Nepeta gave a wide smile and then started following him, going to lightly touch his scarf, then his shoulder to make sure he was real. And upon seeing he really was there, her step found a brand new bounce.

"I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried!" she started off, tail swishing back and forth and eyes alight.

"Huh?" Romeo pulled his hand back as Napeta jumped away, he wondered if he had hurt her, he hadn't meant to hurt her. "What's wrong Napeta?" His voice was quiet, maybe she had gone back like miss Spain had and seen her world destroyed.

"My skin?" Romeo looked at his hands, but they hadn't changed, horns? "Napeta, I'm not a troll remember! I'm a human! I have different colour skin to you and I don't have any horns and I don't have a lusus or anything remember, you told me about them!" He smiled trying to look really friendly even though he was sad that his friend was scared of him.

Eridan flinched when he felt her touch him but...her claws weren't out. It was just a touch. Maybe she's playing with him? But her word... They made Eridan stop in his tracks.

"W-wwhat?" He turned around to face her, his eyes kind of wide, and fishy. "You wwere wworried? You're GLAD?!"

This only helped to confuse the poor troll even more than she had been already at the strange being. Apparently they had met before?

She wrinkled her nose and looked at him in a scrutinizing manner, wracking her brain and trying to remember. After all, if they had met it would be awful to act like they hadn't. But she had never seen such a strange creature before and didn't recognize his face or voice at all.

"I'm sorry but..purrhaps you are thinking of anyather troll! I have nefur met you befur."

Romeo blinked again feeling even more sad. "I met other trolls like Kanaya but your Napeta right? You look like her and you talk in kitty language like her. We explored the maze together." He pointed upwards, "Up on floor eight, with the Doctor and Ienzo and Molly! Do you remember them?"

Nepeta put her hands behind her back, smiling brightly as she nodded. She didn't see why he would think a friend would think any different upon seeing someone they though to be dead alive again.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be, silly? You aren't hurt, are you?"

She looked around his sides a little, inspecting him carefully.

Nepets listened to the names, but shook her head with a frown.

"I am Nepeta, but...those names don't sound furmiliar at all."

"Oh," Romeo blinked as he realised his friend really had forgotten him. That made him feel really sad but he had to keep his spirits up and it was better that Napeta was safe even if it meant she didn't know who he was.

He punched the air and broke into a smile. "I'm Romeo," he reached into his jacket and pulled out a white weasel. "And this is Piccolo, Piccolo say hello to Napeta again." The weasel wriggled her nose.

Terezi was tapping her way down the dormitory corridors when she caught a very familiar scent. She hadn't had the chance to spend time with Nepeta, what with all this relentless exploring and investigating she'd been doing. She's grinning when she heads over and calls out, "Good evening, Pouncellor! To what do I owe this honor?"

Canada tilted her head and regarded the small girl. This...must be like Terezi. She, too, didn't remember her time here. Curious.

"I'm Canada, a nation of humans. You were here earlier. Your name is Nepeta, you gave me the name Madlin because six letters was more proper from a--a lusuus? Lulus? I can't recall...I suppose you don't even remember me do you?"

Equius had been in a foul mood ever since the disappearance of his cherished moirail. The Veil was dangerous now, deadly even, and the thought that she had gone to a place where he couldn't protect her filled him with even more rage than usual. He'd found way to take the edge off his frustration, he had a job here and at least one ludicrously overpowered human to spar with, but it didn't make him feel better.

He stopped in mid-stride at the sight of that familiar green and blue.

It couldn't be.

She remembered this adorable little troll when she first arrived and though all Nepeta did was stare at her, Hungary was hardly going to be rude to her.

Limping on a still damaged leg, Hungary tilted her head and glanced over towards Nepeta as she leaped out of her room. The nation had been in an exploring mood and rather antsy, she decided to take a stroll between the floors in hopes of working out the damage bits of her leg. What was the saying? One had to get back on the horse after falling off.

Hearing the cheer, Hungary glanced up and around only to see the cute troll bound out and with a small laugh, she called out to her. "Please be careful if you're going out alone."

"Nepeta. Interesting name." he ran a hand through his hair wondering what exactly he started with the hyperactive... girl. "The only one I've met is Karkat, he's my roommate. I'm assuming theres more of them here from how he talks about all of you."

Nepeta really was trying to think about this. She didn't want to upset someone or seem like she forgot a friend! Even if she wasn't sure what they were specifically as far as a species went.

"I don't remewmber you at pawll...I'm so sorry," she started, going to wring her tail, "But...but if you'd like we could start being friends now? Its nice to meet you Canada!"

Nepeta offered her a smile, a little embarrassed for apparently forgetting.

"You already know my name, so. And you're right! Its lusus."

His reaction brought a smile to her face and she nodded, leaning in to give the weasel a little sniff and pet when she was brought out.

"Its a purrrrleasure to meet you, Romeo! And hello to you to, Piccolo." she purred, smiling happily. It was a genuinely delighted tone in her voice, looking up at him with a happy look in her eyes. It was always nice meeting new people.

"Karkitty is here?"

Her eyes lit up and her tail straightened out. This clearly was a name that was on the top of her list.

"Oh, I'm so glad he's alright!"

Nepeta seemed very excited now, a bright smile on her face, showing her pointed teeth. Prussia seems to have cheered her up and calmed her down dramatically.

Romeo smiled, "And it's nice to meet you again!" He smiled as Piccolo nuzzled at Napeeta's nose. "So if you can't remember being here? Do you want me to show you round?"

That voice was defurnitely familiar and when she turned to see Terezi, Nepeta let out a happy mewl.

"Terezi! I was so worried about you! Are you pawlright? You aren't hurt, are you?"

Nepeta hadn't quite noticed Equius just yet. She was examining a few doors rather intensely and trying to figure out what they were made of. She really was trying to find out everything she could.

But then something caught the corner of her eye. That sweaty, gross, wonderful troll who was always there.

"...Equius?"

Nepeta paused when she heard someone call out to her, turning around to see the girl calling out to her. Her eyes were wide and she tilted her head, tail twitching a little.

"Ah-? Who are you?" she slowly inquired, tilting her head, "What's so dangerous out here? I purrobably could take care of it!"

Nepeta giggled as she felt the nuzzle on her nose. Even if this was something she normally would have eaten, it clearly was now a new friend!

"I would apurreciate that! Thank you furry much."

"It's alright, it's not your fault I'm sure. This place is fond of doing strange things."

Canada knelt a little, trying to get closer to face to face with Nepeta.

"I'd like to be your friend again. If you want. Have you started back up your shipping wall? Or did you just arrive?"

Romeo grinned, "Great! Where do you want to see first! There's a swimming pool and a forest and a scary dark room and a space room! There's a maze as well but..." He grimiced and shook his head.

"It's not a nice place so we don't go there!"

"Yeah, he is, he might be up there if you're looking for him. He's fine from what I can see." Gilbert grumbled and crossed his arms, watching her for a moment.

"So, what are you.. exactly?"

[ Minato, who happened to be rooming with just one Karkat Vantas, had been passing by when he saw Nepeta.

Well, it was hard not to mistake trolls, and by this point he knew them. Enough to remove a headphone and... hmm. ]

... Excuse me, but do you happen to know Karkat Vantas and his friends?

[Molly is walking down the hall when she sees Nepeta again1 How wonderful! Except for the babbling Nepeta is going to have to deal with]

Nepeta! You're back! That means we didn't eat you! Did you escape? I bet you escaped and then they were experimenting on you and now you're back. Are you okay? Vriska said that you guys eat grubloaf and that it's made from baby trolls who were killed or something. You don't really eat that do you?

Any doubts Equius had that this green-blooded troll could be anyone else vanished in an instant. Just hearing her voice and seeing her surprised face was enough to make him feel a lot calmer, more grounded.

"Nepeta. It's good to... well, it's good to know this gosh-darned tower has some sense."
