Better That I Explain In Person
Dont Bother Moving

[ because suddenly the wall behind him has opened up into a hallway as a tall and very human seeming girl steps through it and into the room ]

[aliveandticking]

[ she does have fun with that, thank you very much. shes read kanaya's thread to check where he is, and arrives at the metahuman apartments in about twenty seconds. she's wearing a dark red t-shirt today rather than any of the aries-emblazoned clothing she's accumulated, and she realizes after she arrives around the corner that sollux probably is not going to recognize her as a human! so when she walks around to the front of the building, she pulls her communicator out again ]

ok im here!!
im in front of the building
kanaya i so beat you

[dualii2m]

[WHOA OKAY Sollux takes a look around, sees someone who vaguely reminds him of Kanaya (that fashion sense is hard to miss) and then someone who could almost be Aradia... if they were both human, that is. But he's got messages from both of them on his communicator, so it's hard to pretend it isn't them...

uh. Well. This is officially weird.]

What the hell?

[glowsferatu]

[ she shoots off a quick text to aradia before turning her attention back to sollux ]

Which Of Us Is In The Room

[ she's not sure what's inspiring the look sollux is giving her, but something about it bothers her, and she starts rubbing her face and fixing her hair in response. ]

What is it, is there something on my...

[ oh, right. he's still a troll. she isn't right now. she crosses her arms, a glow to her skin brightening a bit. ]

Ah. It's an affliction that's grown less common among our kind since my initial arrival. Don't worry about it.

[aliveandticking]

Yeah, don't worry about it! [ she may not have her wings but she has her telekinesis, and in an instant she's up and through the window. that this involves breaking the window is a minor inconvenience that nobody can possibly ever blame her for. she doesn't leap at him for a hug, because from what she can tell from his quirk he hasn't fought eridan yet and probably the last he saw of her she was exploding and that is really enough to come to terms with, but boy does she want to ]

[dualii2m]

[Oh man. Okay. Overwhelming meet and greet time is go. Sollux kind of stands there for a minute and looks them both over before nodding.]

Okay. Well. [Man, screw this. He's got the exact same thing on his mind that she does. He turns to Aradia and hugs her - he REALLY REALLY hopes she doesn't explode when he lets go this time because that would be awful (and probably a lot more messy).]

[aliveandticking]

[ no time guts here! Aradia throws her arms around his neck, laughing happily. ] It's good to see you too!

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya just raises an eyebrow and smiles as she watches them. she figures it's about time. oh god no she really just thought that pun.

no one will mind the window since they're not intending to stay here, but they should probably ditch before someone notices, and kanaya's still holding her portal open. ]

If it's all the same to the both of you, we could easily move this to our own abode.

[dualii2m]

[Oh yeah right they were leaving. Sollux pulls away from Aradia, looking a little tiny bit embarrassed and nods.]

Yeah, I wanna thee this place you all are talking about.

[aliveandticking]

[ she grabs his arm, with a grin at kanaya, and starts towing him through the portal ]

It's going to take some getting used to, but it's really interesting to live in a human hive! [ she was going to say nice, and well, it is, but also there has been an upswing of the drama lately and sometimes it has been not so nice ] We have plenty of rooms, and humans have a whole new computer system for you to learn!

[glowsferatu]

Not that you'll be likely to encounter much difficulty with it. I'd give it a day at most, and that's an upper level estimate.

[ she follows them through and looses the threads holding it open, then raps her knuckles against the door marked with the yellow gemini sign. ]

This one will be yours. You'll need to unpack the contents of your own accord, but I imagine you should be given the honor of unsealing the room.

[dualii2m]

[A whole new system to learn? Sollux isn't sure if that's exciting or terrifying, he has his days where he's sure he doesn't know his own system for shit and now he has to learn a whole bunch of new stuff?]

Jeez, Kanaya, you're only thaying that becauthe you're going to want my help on every computer question you'll ever have. [But he's pleased with the compliment. Really.]

...Old me left this behind?

[aliveandticking]

That's what I've heard! He left before I ever came. ...Do you want to open it?

[glowsferatu]

Our communicators were replaced some months ago, and ever since we've been without any of the enhancements you'd left us with. I still possess Equius' former eyewear, and it's done me little good.

[ she crosses her arms and leans against the doorjam. ]

You actually haven't been in the room itself before, as you had departed from the local timeline prior to our relocation. We had saved your belongings, however, and they've been waiting since.
