01 ♌ voice

[faker]

I feel a little silly typing into a mirror, so I think that I'll say hi this way instead. [she laughs] Not that I won't look much less stupid if this doesn't work!

Anyway, hello there to everyone who can hear me! My name is Nepeta and I'm clawsitively brand new around here. I'm really sorry to hear that things are going badly in this world, but I kind of had my own problems back home. So I guess since we can't go back until things get fixed here I'll be working extra hard to hurry it up.

But I've got a question in the meantime that I hope somebody can answer. Is there any way to bring specific people here? If I can't go back home just yet then I'd at least like to know that my friends are somewhere a little safer.

[the frown is almost audible in her voice, but it perks back up fairly quickly]

If by some chance you guys are here already, you better tell me right away! There'll be shell to pay if I have to walk around and find you myself.

Nepeta! Oh, hello! [Disciple beams - the voice was slightly familiar, hers, younger, but more than that she's heard so much about her she's beyond excited to meet her, even if she's sad the young troll was taken from her own home for it to happen.]

Yes, some of your friends are here, they'd mentioned you to me. Equius, and...Eridan, I think? And some other trolls as well, but I don't know if you'd know them or not!

voice until further notice etc etc

[faker]

[Nepeta can't help but do a double-take at the adult troll (oh god oh man) replying to her because wow does she look a lot like herself. it's a little unsettling, but then she mentions Equius and she can't help but relax a little.]

Well, I clawsitively know Equius and Eridan! [even if she's surprised to hear Eridan is here considering what happened to him]

And I might know the others! I've got ten other trolls I was with before this, which is kind of why I didn't name everybody; that would have taken way too long.

:33b

[whomheloved]

Well, there's Sollux, and Tavros, and...let's see who else. Karkat? Although I'm sure most of them will see this soon enough and come and say hello for themselves!

[faker]

They better! I'll be really mad if I have to go find where they live and visit them myself. [she laughs. it's good to hear that a large-ish chunk of her friends are around, especially Tavros. she'd be really worried about him]

Oh, but who are you? I got caught up in finding everybody and forgot to ask, I'm sorry.

[whomheloved]

Well, I'm afraid I don't know where most of them are staying, but I'm sure they wouldn't want to make you mad! [She chuckles, glad to hear her laughing. She always worries a bit about new arrivals. At least Nepeta seems to be coping well.]

Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm the Disciple. It's very good to meet you, Nepeta.

[faker]

I hope not. That'd be a pretty clawful hello, especially after landing in a completely different world.

It's nice to meet you too! Have you been here very long?

[even if she's an adult who looks freakily like her, the Disciple seems to be friendly at the very least. no need to be too guarded.]

[whomheloved]

No, not too long, just a few weeks, perhaps a perigee at the most? It's a good place to live though.

[And Disciple is dying to get a look at Nepeta, to see if she really resembles her as much as Equius said she did. But it doesn't seem very polite to ask.]

[Voice]

[highb100d_seeker]

Nepeta? I'm pleased you've arrived.

[Voice]

[faker]

Equius! Oh my gosh, I'm so glad that you're here. [and she really is. although she wants everyone she knows to be safe, her moirail gets special priority.]

[Voice]

[highb100d_seeker]

[He's pleased by her enthusiasm, permitting himself a small smile and a bit of relief that she doesn't seem to think he's dead] Are you quite well?

[Voice]

[faker]

Yeah, I'm pretty good! Not that it's very hard not to be considering how much nicer this place is than the Veil. [seriously man the depression factors here are like nonexistent]

Did you just get here too?

[Voice]

[highb100d_seeker]

Oh, yes. Things are far better here than in the Veil. I've, uh... [He pauses, awkward] I'm moving into a larger hive with a couple of people I met here, and it's quite agreeable. I've been here almost a perigee, actually.

I was...concerned, about you.

[Voice]

[faker]

A perigee? Wow, I just saw you before I ended up here. [she...supposes that this could be part of the time bullshittery that Eridan had complained about so much, but it's still a little mystifying to Nepeta and it shows in her voice]

I'm glad to hear that you're getting along with people, though! And that you don't have to worry about me anymore.

[...this gives her pause. the majority of the message is parsed like a computer might spit out, but there are moments where something eerily similar to Sollux's quirk show up. the color is wrong but at this point Nepeta's pretty sure color doesn't mean fuck and all when it comes to identifying people.

welp. nothing to it but to be friendly. even if she was wrong and there wasn't an actual troll behind it, it was only polite.]

(V)!_!(V) < oh no, im really sorry to hear that :(
(V)!_!(V) < ive 6een pretty lucky in finding some of my friends so far 6ut may6e you just have to wait a little while for the same to happen to you?

[this makes her really sad and she's not entirely sure why]

(V)!_!(V) < well
(V)!_!(V) < you said that you couldnt find any of those right now, right?
(V)!_!(V) < if thats the case i think its ok for you to decide to help or not on your own until they get here

[fieldtrip]

If there's a pattern to who they're bringing here, I can't figure it out. Who is it you're looking for?

[faker]

Oh, that's too bad. I'd feel a lot better if I knew that everybody was safe. [she sighs, then brightens up]

I'm looking for my friends! I've got a bunch so I feel kind of silly rattling them all off, but it sounds like there's a lot of them here. If you know a troll it's probably one of them.

[fieldtrip]

Maybe there are safe. There's some funky time thing that goes on-- I don't know, I didn't really get into it.

Oh, you're a troll? There are a lot of them around here. A lot of the fish ones, too. Do you know Tavros or Equius?

[faker]

I'm pretty clawful at time stuff, but if whatever's going on means they're safe then I'm happy.

Yeah, I'm a troll too! And I know both of them, they're some of my best friends. [aaaah if she knows Tavros that means he's been talking to people. so proud!]

[fieldtrip]

What's 'time stuff'? There's stuff for time? News to me. [Toph's happy her friends aren't getting into trouble without her there, too, but she doesn't want to admit that just yet.]

Really? [She's a little surprised-- she hadn't expected her to actually know them.] Tavros is my roommate, though I think he's moving out with his trainrail thing. He's a pretty nice guy. He doesn't think I'm offensive and he lives with me.

[Which Toph finds pretty funny, and is also one of the main qualities she looks for in friends.]

[faker]

Of course there is. There's time stuff and space stuff and I guess stuff for everything else too. But maybe that's just where I'm from. [paradox space isn't here specialty ok]

Really! That sounds just live Tavros, haha; it's really hard for him to get upset with people.

[although this is the first time she's heard of a moirail. she's going to have to bug him and ask about his quadrant life since coming here, oh gosh.]
