[Although the CAT is on and streaming, Mu doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it. It can be seen that he's moving through the town at quite a clip, and he doesn't seem to be very happy. Unlike the last time people saw him, Mu is actually in full cloth now, though his helmet is tucked under one arm.

If anything, he just looks bewildered, and maybe a little bit angry.]

This...this can't be, I was just...

[He's silent for a beat, coming to a stop and composing himself, and finally looking at the CAT.]

Why are we back here? I've heard plenty of chatter, so I'm sure someone has an answer.

[Hawk shakes his head, offering Mu an apologetic smile.] I'm afraid I'm not sure I could give you any kind of proper explanation. [His eyes flick over Mu a few times, and he tilts his head, looking curious.] What did you get pulled from this time?

[lamb_of_gold]

[There is a long, long moment before Mu answers, and when he does, he does it quietly.]

I was dead...

[desertdaggers]

[Hawk's quiet for a little while, stunned, eyes wide.] …what? Mu, where are you now?

[lamb_of_gold]

Greens East...I'm not far from the houses.

[desertdaggers]

I'll see you there soon, then. [He shuts off the CAT and heads to the houses, keeping an eye out for Mu, and heads straight over once he spots him.]

…hey.

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah. Hello again, Hawk. [Mu's taken a seat by now. He looks...somewhat uncomfortable, but very confused.]

[desertdaggers]

It's- good to see you. More or- no, just. [He shakes his head, frowning.] May I? [He indicates the seat next to Mu.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Thank you, I think. [It manages to bring a small smile, at any rate.] Of course. Have a seat.

So you were home and now you're here again. How long were you there? Any ideas at all as to how much time has elapse here while you were back at home? Hmmmmmmmm?

Re: [voice; filtered]

[lamb_of_gold]

I was, yes, for at least one week. It's...hard to say. [He trails off ever so slightly before picking up again. ]

I don't know how much time has passed here.

[notsot8rri8le]

[Well, that's useless. Vriska sighs a little and then tries for another answer.]

I guess it's not important for now. Why do you think you were brought back? Why bother letting you go if they were going to bring you back here anyway! Sounds dumb to me!

Re: [voice; filtered]

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm afraid I don't know. You may have better luck asking one of those who remained behind after last time - they may be able to provide more insight.

[notsot8rri8le]

[There goes that.]

Okaaaaaaaay. Well, anything you can tell me? Anything at all?

[Terribly sorry if he sounds snippy Vriska~]

The man who brought us here last time was named Fillipo Rescarci. We were 'let go' because we fought our way out, so to speak. I don't imagine he was working alone then, and if he's not responsible for this now, then I'd imagine an accomplice of his is.

[notsot8rri8le]

[If anyone's got an attitude problem, it's her. Not that she'll ever admit it though.]

Aren't you guys impressive, then. So we have one name and a possible accomplice. And what's your name?

[voice; filtered]

[lamb_of_gold]

[For a moment, he debates giving her his title...but can he really be said to hold it anymore?]

Mu. And yourself?

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is angry--and not in a composed way. her hair is a mess, she's glaring at the CAT. oh, and she's only wearing a bedsheet] I haven't any idea! It's just stolen us all again, no warning, no regard for people's situations--or my son!

[lamb_of_gold]

[Oddly, that's enough to focus him somewhat.]

Sophie, where are you. I...think I have some spare clothing, if you need it....

[fortune_sought]

What? Oh, bother that! Have you been the Mayor's house? Is there a way out?

[lamb_of_gold]

No, I...just woke up. [He does seem suitably discombobulated]

[fortune_sought]

You mean here? Then we'll go to the Mayor's House together! If we both set out now, we should arrive at about the same time.

[yes, she is walking toward her front door in a sheet right now. forgive her, Mu. she's rather upset]

[lamb_of_gold]

Sophie, put something on before you walk out dressed like that.

[Priorities.]

[fortune_sought]

[Mu's comment comes right as Sophie stumbles and has to use the wall to catch her balance. she's going to need some time to get used to her lack of a tail] Gah! [and now she glances down. yep, she forgot about that] Confound it! [she turns to hurriedly start rummaging in drawers. you might want to turn off the video feed, Mu] I'll be there shortly, in any case! Are you coming?
