[Croix is back in his little townhouse, and clearly annoyed by this fact. He even sighs before he actually speaks for the CAT.]

If I knew I would only have that long back home, I don't think I would have bothered.

[Annoyed, but... well, apparently not surprised. He shakes his head.]

Who else is here? Maybe we should talk. [slight hesitation] Is anyone going to go see the dedication celebration?



((OoC: if you'd rather run into him face-to-face, that's cool! We can just set up a thread and say it's elsewhere. ♥))

[... He shaaakes his head, not entirely sure what to do with you, Terezi!]

I'm not sure I follow, but... well, I do have a name, and it's Croix. [shrug! He's getting the feeling that's not going to matter to this one...]

But... my story? What story do you want? Do you just want to know more about this place?

Why Are Such Great Lengths Taken To Confine Us
This Seems Like A Nice Place
Im Sure More Voluntary Residents Could Be Found

[vengefulagent]

[he remembers her, even if she was a fake] So, everything was back to normal then.

Be sure you don't go through any curtains this time. Don't want to lose face again.

[tactilekonesis]

You mean it's actually been poisoned before? [he groans, running a hand through his hair]

I'd rather not take my chances this time.

[video]

[desertdaggers]

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that.

[He nods, and his lips twist a little.] Mm, might as well see what kind of spread they've laid out!

[voice; filtered]

[notsot8rri8le]

Why not?

[But is she referring to the statement or the question at the end? :::;)]

[grandbellknight]

Well, it's not really that surprising. [Beat] To be honest, it probably could have been worse.

[faint smile] As long as it isn't some sort of trap.

[grandbellknight]

[he... isn't really sure. He hesitates, trying to figure it out, but guesses she might correct him if he gets it wrong anyway.]

Well, I could only think of one reason not to go: it could be a set-up. You never really know.

[grandbellknight]

[Yes he figured as much. jfakdsl He shakes his head, already resigned to his, erm, nickname.]

This is the second time I've been brought here. [The second question makes him smile a bit, amused.] Yes, they... usually are.

And- [He reads the last question. ... PAAAUSE. ... He raises an eyebrow.] -uh. Excuse me?

[grandbellknight]

Before I showed up here, yeah. Apparently, it happened before. So you're right - not taking the chance is probably a good idea.

[grandbellknight]

Yeah, I'm sure they could. I already know of one person who would much rather stay here than go back to his own world, so there has to be more.

But, I don't know why it's us they want here. Hopefully we can find out, and then we can stop it.

[grandbellknight]

It was as if I never left. [Okay, so that's a small sigh. :/ He misses them, okay?]

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. [He shakes his head. So maybe it's a little funny now... but mostly it's still a pretty downright djafkslj-inducing memory.] And you try not to hurt any trees.

[terezi_pyrope]

YOU 4R3 NOT 3XUS3D FROM TH3 COURT MR BLU3B3RR13S
YOU KNOW WH4T QU3ST1ON TH3 PROS3CUT1ON JUST 4SK3D
>;]

[grandbellknight]

So this is a court hearing now?

Then I object - I don't see the relevance of the question.

[desertdaggers]

Mm. Better than nothing at all, right?

Well, we're already trapped here. I'd hope they wouldn't go much further.

[chainsawspistice]

I Hope So Too
Anyway The Question Remains
Are You Going To The Celebration
If They Truly Wanted To Cause Us Harm There Would Be Easier Ways Of Going About It Dont You Think

[tactilekonesis]

If my friends were here, they'd probably test the food before attempting to eat it... Makes me wish I'd paid more attention when they did it.

[sighs] But uh, I'm Conner, by the way.

[vengefulagent]

[he'd like to think of that sigh as one of exasperation, but he knows better by now] You'll get back to them. And for good this time.

Thankfully, there aren't any trees here for me to hurt. [though, on that note, he starts moving towards Lab #1 and the oxygen farm to see that things are still functional there.]

[grandbellknight]

Test it? Well, maybe if we had some sort of scientist around...

I'm Croix. Nice to meet you.

[grandbellknight]

They don't really go for the easy ways, but... yeah, you do have a point.

I was planning on going anyway. I think there will be other people there that were here before, and we need to find our way out again. We have a much better chance of it if we all work together.

[notsot8rri8le]

Hmm. What kind of set-up are we talking about here?

[Even if it is a set-up, she still plans on going. Scratch that, she plans on going specifically because it is a set-up.]

[chainsawspistice]

[She is appreciating the spirit of cooperation here. This person seems much more agreeable than most of Kanaya's acquaintances.]

That Makes Sense
Okay Then Ill Assist Where Possible
My Name Is Kanaya Maybe Ill See You There

[grandbellknight]

[He smiles, just a bit. It's always good when people are willing to listen to reason and help each other out.]

Great.

I'm Croix. It's nice to meet you, Kanaya. Let me know if I can help you with anything.

[grandbellknight]

Yeah. I know.

[He's sure, as always. Though maybe he does sound a little... ... different? ... Okay, so maybe getting to see Luca for like two minutes before getting yanked away yet again might have made him realize he's possibly in love with the girl, but... that would require him to properly put two and two together. Oh well. ]

For now. Hopefully the layout won't suddenly change on you.
