[It's jarring, to have a thousand hands dragging you toward a gallows and an unjust fate one second and to be paralyzed on a flat (albeit somewhat soft) surface the next. Jarring and, if she's being honest with herself, terrifying. Horrifying. She forces herself to breath as the seconds tick by because it's all she can do, and after a thirty-second long eternity she's free. She practically jumps out of the bed but her assailants are gone, as is the courtblock and all of its inhabitants.

Instead she's wearing unfamiliar clothes and is lacking in the accessories that make her feel herself--her glasses are gone, leaving her yellow-teal eyes naked. So is her cane, and her gloves. Her boots. The chain with the forbidden symbol that she wears close to her heart. A cursory examination of the room leads her to the letters at her bedside and, even better, the chest at the foot of her bed, where she is relieved to find all of those items she was missing and more. Before she leaves the room she'll dress in attire that is proper for a legislacerator and poke around the living space she's found herself in.]

[And once she's done in her room she'll venture out, appropriately dressed and even more appropriately cautious, exploring her new environment while she tries to decide whether she believes the contents of the letters or not. It can be unwise to interrupt a legislacerator's investigation, but in this case a little interruption might be beneficial to her work.]

[Vriska nearly stops dead in her tracks when she sees Redglare. At first glance she'd thought it was Terezi and was going to cut away to avoid her, but then she notices she's too tall and the outfit is different.

Shit. Shit shit it's Terezi's ancestor and she's been killing people right and left for Karkat's lusus. She takes a step back, seriously considering turning and leaving before the ancestor can see her. But she's sort of frozen in place right now.

Just because you aren't moving doesn't mean people can't see you, Vriska.]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Another refugee, I presume?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Vriska straightens when she nears, determined not to look guilty or frightened of an adult troll. She's seen them here in the tower, there's nothing to be afraid of. And it's not like Redglare can sense she'd been killing people, right?

Everything will be fine, she'll just make the convesation short and get the hell out of there. It occurs to her she might have to be more careful now (not like she wasn't already being painfully so).]

Refugees? More like prisoners! There's nothing about this place that's a safe haven. You're pretty dumb if you believed that letter.

[Kanaya was going back to her dorm room when she saw her. At first she thought it was Terezi in her FLARP outfit but after a second more of staring she realized it must be her ancestor. Kanaya was wary of all ancestors, she was told about Dolorosa and Signless and, well, she didn't know how all the other ancestors felt about that particular topic.]

[But dammit, best to be polite] Good morning.

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Morning, is it? To you as well, I suppose.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[Oh that went better than expected]

Forgive my forward questioning but you wouldn't happen to be Redglare would you?

[floreatnoctem.livejournal.com]

You are awake.

[The girl that strides into the room is pale and thin, in all-white save for the bright red of her hair and the dark cover of the sketchbook pressed to her chest. She's told herself to be careful around trolls because of her conversations with Dualscar, but she isn't quite the type to be unfriendly. Aloof perhaps, but not rude- not unless it's called for.]

Another troll, correct? From Alternia?

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Yes. And what are you? It seems a fair question since you seem to know much about me.

[floreatnoctem.livejournal.com]

[Chidori at least, isn't the type to be insulted by the businesslike nature of her tone. She inclines her head and considers the things that she figures might be the most pertinent to know.]

Human. No horns, our skin comes in varying shades, and we all bleed red. Our languages also vary, though that does not seem to be an issue within the Tower at the moment.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, this one seems to be an adult.]

[He's more than familiar with trolls by now, but the number of them that were beyond the human age of thirteen was very slim in comparison. He had met a grand total of one such adult troll, and did not particularly enjoy the concept of going through that again, but he is approaching with caution.]

[And he is walking directly by with caution, too, watching Redglare as he goes. Even though it doesn't seem like she wants to go hitting people with that dragon-headed cane, he still knows that trolls are violent by nature. It's all in the spirit of self preservation, you see. Tall female troll wearing obnoxiously bright outfit, carrying pointy stick and looking around suspiciously? Must be a day ending in Y Definite danger present here.]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Excuse me.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, he probably should have expected that. After all, the trolls are supposedly not very well versed in the ways of humans, so presumably a super tiny one walking right by them would evoke a response. Oh well, hopefully he's not dead by the end of the day. (Ienzo is so optimistic.) He stops and turns around, looking her straight in the eye. ...Glasses. Eyeglasses. Wow.]

...yes?

[gam8lignants.livejournal.com]

[What in the world??
Mindfang pretty much stops dead in her tracks, staring at Redglare for a long moment. What is with all of her friends and showing up here older than usual...?
Ah well. No point not saying hello; they were friends, afterall.]

Why heeeeeeeello there, my dear Redglare. [You get a flirtatious grin.]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Excuse me?

[gam8lignants.livejournal.com]

[She pouts playfully.]

Can't even recognize me now that you're so oooooooold~?

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Terezi is wandering the halls, her lusus lumbering along behind her, when she catches a distinct teal scent. For a split second, she thinks it's the other Tavros, but no, this scent is definitely adult, and definitely wearing lots and lots of red.

No way.]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Excuse me.

Dorm hallways :D

[ocariness]

[ Hey, Redglare! Have an odd-looking not-human thing with pointy ears, well-armed. But at present, Link's sword and shield are sheathed and put away, along with the bow and arrows and all that.

The rather androgynous Hero of Time does, however, notice Redglare and offer a small smile. ]

Hello.

[ ... What is caution, when you're a protagonist-- ]

8D

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[Karkat was tired. After nearly a week of feeding spidermom on top of Kanaya's appearance in the tower and tending to Terezi, there's really not much energy left in the young troll. He'd just finished changing out of the suit he used to feed his lusus, now once again dressed to the eights nines as per usual.

He doesn't even notice Redglare as he wanders out and down the hall, one hand running through his hair in an attempt to pull himself together. This tower was so ridiculously draining. What with the other Karkat wandering around on top of Signless in addition to the Vriska confusion, it was only a matter of time before some other version of him appeared.]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Excuse me!

[The Summoner has taken to the hallways once again, because he gets the feeling he's missed something important each time he wanders through the open floor of the tower. He must be, right? There's gotta be some way out, because otherwise he might actually have to think about Alternia being gone and...]

[Well that's just not a thing he's going to entertain, really! Anyway... he's distracted, only paying enough attention to any passersby to... not hit them in the face with his horns. Otherwise his focus is on finding... the thing. The thing he keeps missing...]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

Excuse me.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Suzaku had noticed that there were quite a few people he didn't recognise in the halls today, which meant that more people had been captured. He nodded at the troll as he passed her. He didn't know many of the trolls outside of Signless and Psi but he had noticed most of the ones here where children, this one wasn't though.]

[forcingrins.livejournal.com]

The physical appearance has so much variance...
