[caliginous]

Characters: Members of Group A and YOU
Setting: Fourth Floor -- the white lounge.
Format: WHO EVEN KNOWS
Summary: Karkat attempts to pull everyone into one place for counter-resistance.

[In a room full of white, its not hard to spot the various victims of Jason's latest experiments. Each sits or stands in their own corner on or off furniture talking amongst one another or simply staring at the door waiting for someone to approach them.

Some of them don't look all that approachable, even if it appears that they are completely sane at first glance. Some of them might even look like they don't want to be there.

You won't really know until you approach them.]

[Maybe it's better that she can't see Dave. She doesn't have to see what they've done to him. But she might hear the faint sound of gears turning.

On the upside. Dave has been so thoroughly brainwashed that the sight of Rose doesn't affect him at all. He does acknowledge her and he approaches her. Why wouldn't he? She is important to him. He should help her.]

Rose. [She can probably already tell something is off with the way he speaks.]

[tentacletrainer]

Dave? [[She can, yes. But she's not surprised by that. As much as she didn't want to believe any of her friends would undergo the same treatment, she's not surprised that they have and she can only assume that's what is wrong with him.

Either that, or whatever has happened to her is horrific.

She doesn't look at Dave, so much as in his general direction.]]

[knightime]

Do you need help?

[He doesn't have to help, but Rose was important to him. He knows that much. He had to help his fellow unit.]

The admins did well.

[tentacletrainer]

Did well? I suppose you could say that. [[It depends on your definition of 'well'.]]

I...well. I can't see. If you would be able to assist me around the tower for a time, that would be appreciated.

[knightime]

[He doesn't understand what she could mean other than things are completely well.]

I would be more than happy to assist you in anyway, Rose. You just need to tell me what you need help with.

[His touch is gentle. Instead of warm hands, Rose feels metal and gears turning. But he makes it so she doesn't get caught in them. He doesn't want to hurt her. He just wants to help.]
