Ship Post #001

[speakveryclearly]

[Kanaya did not know where she expected to find herself after leaving the asylum, but it was probably not here. Another strange respiteblock. A little more Alternian by aesthetic at least. Okay. Great. What the hell is going on.

Still feeling the newhatched sensation just barely worn off, she opens the door and wanders out, calling to see who else is out there.]

Hello...

Comments

[dicey]

[nonchalantly]

Hey, Kanaya. Weird event, huh?

[speakveryclearly]

Event--

This has Linda all over it, I guess, but how do you know that already?

[dicey]

Uh. Who's Linda?

[speakveryclearly]

[Entirely straight face] The computer fairy who kidnapped me ten seasons ago.

So did any time pass for... [It is here she first realizes Vriska's current status. Hmmmmm.] You?

[dicey]

... What.

Kanaya, you don't remember the city?

[yup, she's ignored all your questions so far]

[speakveryclearly]

[She frowns and repeats the word to herself, unsettled, as she looks at her enclosure talons while making them.]

"City."

No.

[dicey]

... This is weird.

[why would her memories be taken? she hadn't left]

Well, I'm going to go look for people. I guess you can come.

[speakveryclearly]

Okay. [Moving into a position beside her to follow.]

I mean, I really have no idea who should even be here. I'd been assuming the Veil would be the destination.

[...god are her dead friends there...]

[dicey]

[she sighs]

We're not in the game anymore, Kanaya. We're on a new universe now.

[speakveryclearly]

Right... populated by humans. [Not exactly said the warmest way]

[:T] The doctors said they were sending me home. I guess they lied. Which isn't particularly surprising from them, but still disappointing.

[dicey]

Populated by a bunch of species.

What doctors? You must be from wayyyyyyyy further along than anyone else, because no one else has talked about doctors.

[speakveryclearly]

They ran this asylum, I - you were never there, only... [A couple of people she would even know, very few of whom she wants to mention but one she's sure has to be here, and she turns to cup her hand around her mouth and call more loudly,]

GAMZEE.

[dicey]

Why the hell are you calling for Gamzee?

[speakveryclearly]

Gamzee -

[Giving up and turning back now.]

It's... a long story. "He was the only other troll left by the end" is the short version.

[dicey]

Everyone else died?

[speakveryclearly]

I............. I don't know. I have no idea what's going on with over half our team, with me ambiguously gone.

Feferi and Karkat and - Strider, you know, the human Knight - stayed briefly. [angst] And Eridan was there with us for a long time. All four of those got terminated, though. And then it was just Gamzee and I, and-

I thought we were finally going back to the veil.

[dicey]

I know who Dave is! Not about the knight thing. Or terminating. This is fucked up; I still don't get how you left and came back so quickly!

Bluh.

[she starts walking, deciding to do some shouting of her own]

HANNA!

[speakveryclearly]

[She doesn't move to follow her yet]

Come back? Vriska, don't talk like that, they... never come back.

[Do they?]

[dicey]

They do here.

Hanna!

[speakveryclearly]

You've been somewhere odd these last ten months if that's even how time passed from your perspective...

[dicey]

Kanaya, shut up; you are freaking me out.

HANNA!

[speakveryclearly]

I'm sorry, the past twenty-four hours have been very eventful, and that wasn't meant to be wordplay, and I'm going to comply with your request now.

[dicey]

Good!

[still walking, but she seems to have given up on shouting for now]

[speakveryclearly]

[She still doesn't follow her, and walks the short distance back into the room where she woke up to examine it further.]

[dicey]

[she calls back over her shoulder:]

Aren't you coming?
