New Arrival

Who: Sollux Captor and ANYONE!
Where: By the coral
When: Today
Format: Starting in prose but I'm happy to follow your lead
Status: Open as Sollux' gaping ocular sockets

He was killing himself. He could feel it in the intense pain that exploded across his think pan like someone was jabbing two culling forks through his eye sockets and then wiggling them around inside his brain.

He was sure he had killed himself. He sort of hoped he had killed himself, because living with that kind of damage was going to suck serious hoofbeast testicles.

And then he'd expected to hopefully find himself safe and sound in the bubbles, where he could spend eternity reliving the few good moments he'd had in his short life and leave the universe-saving and misery to someone else. What he hadn't expected was a whole lot of water, and confusion and a lot of voices, none of which were familiar. It sounded like he'd suddenly landed himself in the middle of a city.

Frightened and confused, he pushed himself up, coughing up a lungful of sea water and yellow blood, and felt around helplessly, searching for something, anything familiar. "Hello?" he called out, but not too loud. Karkat, Kanaya, Terezi and Gamzee had been right there. Why wasn't anyone saying anything to him?

"What happened?"

Just making sure...! Besides, I wouldn't have even looked, promise.

[She's teasing, but she leads him into the first open room she spots.]

I'll be right outside, alright? If you need help, I can help! Or try to.

[Oh Sollux, if only you knew. While he changes, she decides to message Feferi the news, leaning against another changing room door.]

Oh, I know. Either way, are you feeling any better?

You have had an incredible journey. [That would be horribly annoying. Aradia continues to type away at her SFC, pausing only to contemplate her answer.]

I'm doing pretty well, I'd have to say, especially now that you're finally here with us again. This place is so amazing, I really do like it. I'm really glad that I'm alive again, too. It makes things a lot easier on me to enjoy so much.

The best part is that I'm even more alive than I was before. I actually feel alive, now.

[Doop doop, back to the conversation.]

Oh! And Feferi will be meeting us at the apartment. She's really glad to have you back too.
