Seeing the Sights

[thekidsare0kay]

Who: Sollux Captor and OPEN!
Where: Anywhere in the city! He's had a day to come down from the high recuperate from his surgery, and is out exploring and meeting new people.
When: Today.
Style: Starting in action, but open to prose
Status: Open

[Sollux is taking his first few steps alone out on the town, to explore his new home. He arrived blind, but now has two blue robotic eyes - something he needs to have a word with Equius about - and is enjoying a bit of independence after a while of being stuck in bed unable to do anything without assistance.]

[Sollux frowns and rubs the back of his neck] They're both being weird and secretive about the whole thing. I accused Eridan of being ashamed or something, but he got really pissed at me.

I dunno, Kanaya... KK is pretty weird about culling even when he's not head over heels in pity for someone, but he's usually pretty trustworthy. I know there was already an incident where everyone accused Eridan of culling Karkat and it turned out it wasn't him.

I know. I'm just worrying, and I probably shouldn't. If Eridan was going to be a problem I think we would have seen it by now. And if he was, what would we do? Cull him every five days until he's learned his lesson? Somehow I think we would all get a bit tired of that eventually.

[Though now that she's thinking of it though, that would solve the problem she's been having with finding a decent source of fresh food...]

I think I'd rather just ignore them both for now. I have enough drama in my life as it is.

[thekidsare0kay]

Makes sense to me. [Though he's a little sad that Kanaya is ignoring Karkat, too.] I don't think KK would go for the culling-people-every-week thing, even if he weren't Eridan's matesprit.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Well, as a general rule I'd rather nobody had to be killed either. I just want us all to be safe. This place has given a lot of our friends a second chance that they wouldn't really get otherwise. I killed Eridan back in the veil, but...

[Kanaya really did not feel remorse for taking his life. It was a grim necessity. At the same time, the events in the veil never stopped haunting her.]

[In a small, hurt voice...]It had to be done.
