001 To Take A Deep Breath

[fashionfairy]

Characters: Kanaya and everyone! (You are included in that!)
Setting: Various, starting outside room 1-07
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Kanaya attempts to explore the tower and make friends. Or at least not make any enemies right off.
Warnings: None unless she's attacked. She may look meek and gentle but she's quite proficient with that chainsaw. Also, a secondary warning: she tends to ramble when nervous.



The first thing Kanaya was aware of was the inability to move. That was hardly unusual as the viscosity of the sopor slime in the recuperacoons made it difficult to thrash about in but that gave it a sense of comfort. She was not in her recuperacoon however. She was lying on some soft surface, like a cushion but raised and with blankets. Panic began to rise in her throat as she realized that she was not even on the flying chunk of rock she and her friends now called home. As the paralysis wore off she was able to take in her surroundings....and the rather hideous bodysuit and collar some clearly style challenged being had put on her.

She spotted the letter, read it quickly, and then went to the indicated chest to change into something more familiar. At least the collar was similar to her blood color so it didn't clash too terribly. A small wave of relief washed over her to see the matriorb safely nestled among various lengths of fabric. Even if she had failed everything else at least that was still safe and there was still hope.

Next, however, came a more pressing matter. She turned toward the door, placed her hand on the handle...and hesitated. Who knew what lay outside. She steeled herself, made sure the bottle of lipstick was in her pocket, and walked out to meet whatever lay beyond the threshold.

[She's no stranger to time shenanigans, ectobiological oddities, and general peculiar happenings but this takes the proverbial sweet iced sponge bread. All the same, meeting another jade blood before reporting to the brooding caverns is in itself a joyous occasion. She jogs a little to catch up with him and walk along side him.]

Judging by your tone I take it that this happens frequently? Are there many others from....'my universe'? Or your universe for that matter?

[chronomancer]

I know the Eridan from your world.

[That's all Eridan's willing to say on the matter. It was more than enough, really.]

But to answer your question, yes. There are a few trolls from your universe and a few from mine. You'll meet them soon enough, I think.

[She trots along side him quietly for a few moments, casting about for something to say. She's dreadfully curious about him as well as the tower but his taciturn nature is making things difficult.]

Are there many Jade bloods in your universe? I only ask because they are so rare in mine that I feared I would never meet another until it was my time to report to the brooding caverns. I suppose it is not overly important but there have been days that I longed for the kinship that other, more common, hemotypes share. It also did not help that my lusus kept me far separate from other trolls for my own protection. I seldom even saw other trolls before I entered the game. I am also curious because there are only female Jade bloods in my universe so, forgive me for sounding rude, but you would be a bit of an oddity.

[chronomancer]

[Ah, the soothing pour of words. Eridan found himself smiling a little. It was familiar and that was nice.]

Eh, 's okay. I'm pretty sure I'm more than a bit of an oddity in general. But no, there weren't many jadebloods in my universe, I was the only one.

[He shrugged.]

I do know the feeling, though. You know. Wanting to meet someone who knew what the fuck is up with being a jadeblood and all.
