[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. ♥))

[It took this incredibly grumpy-looking teenager a while to figure out how to work the video feed, but once he does, he manages a slight shrug. (Also, despite all of his icons, he's clearly wearing glasses.)]

I think I might.

... Though is stuff like this normal for this place? I didn't exactly expect to get kidnapped this morning.

[grandbellknight]

[You know, he'd answer, but he can't... read that. What's with the numbers? And why is it blue...? ]

I'm sorry?

[grandbellknight]

[(Funny, despite this icon, Croix actually doesn't have his glasses on at the moment! aka - I feel you. ♥) He nods.]

It's happened before. This place brings people here, and now we have to find a way to get back home.

And while we're on the subject? I wouldn't say that anything around here is exactly normal.

[tactilekonesis]

Great. First I wake up in some strange house with a freaking gift basket, and kidnapping isn't exactly something abnormal around these parts...

[He sighs.] Thanks for the heads-up, at least.

[grandbellknight]

Of course. [He sighs as well. This town...]

If this time is anything like the last, something important might happen at that celebration. I think I'll be going. If you'll be there, then I can tell you more about this place.

[tactilekonesis]

Yeah, I'll probably be there. Why miss out on a party, right?

... Just one question. The food here's not poisoned or anything, is it? Because it'd kind of suck if we couldn't eat.

I Dont See A Reason Not To Go
Are You Not Attending

[grandbellknight]

[A little bit of silence, while he pieces together what that says as well as he can... Oh hey, there's actually a recognizable pattern! Great! Weird, but great.]

I'm definitely not a criminal. Your message was just... a little confusing to read.

... Purple grapes...? [pause.] ... Never mind. I was only home for a minute, maybe two, and then I was dragged back here.

[vengefulagent]

[guess who is wearing his "not surprised" face right now?]

Well, long time, no see. [and really, it hadn't been that long at all.] I think you'll have to go to that celebration without me.

[grandbellknight]

Then I'll see you there.

You know, I really don't know if it is or not this time...

[ video ]

[grandbellknight]

Well, it might be a trap. You never really know.

Are you new here?

[grandbellknight]

[Guess who's wearing a similar face?]

Yeah. A whole minute. Maybe two. [He shakes his head.] Without you? Do you have something else to do already?

[Because, yeah, working under the assumption that you went home...]

Yes Im New
Is That To Say You Elude Similar Definition
Also Why Would It Be A Trap

[grandbellknight]

[Faint, amused little smile] Thanks, I think. And, yeah. Really, literally a minute. [He sighs.]

I've... never seen messages like yours before. You must not have been here before.

[grandbellknight]

I was here before. We found a way to escape. Most people went back home immediately, but some of us stayed behind to try and find some answers, to maybe keep this from happening again. Obviously, it... didn't work out that way.

Anyway, I did go back home. I don't know how long ago that was for this place, but for me, it wasn't long at all. So now we're back, and I guess you get to join us this time.

How Did You Leave
Even If Its Short Lived A Small Amount Of Time Will Suffice

[grandbellknight]

Terezi. Nice to meet you.

... Is there a reason you're calling me different fruits?

[vengefulagent]

Just enough time take a couple breaths of that nice Metafalss air, huh?

[he sets his CAT out farther so Croix can see he's on the observation deck] Yeah, you could say that. Seems someone doesn't want me in there.

[and guess who isn't going to break that assumption and admit he didn't go home...]

[grandbellknight]

The way home is in the labs, but... well, you heard that sound as well as I did earlier, I'm sure. They've closed off the way there. It doesn't surprise me.
