[Kanaya finally manages to flick on her video feed, a disgruntled look on the prim troll's face for a long while before she gives off a scoff, rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. She isn't even sure how to work this thing and it is clearly upsetting her. A moment later she seems to realize that, yes, she has managed to figure out how to work it.]

Greetings, would it be acceptable if I were so imprudent as to implore someone for their assistance in the current situation I am in? I do not quite understand all of what is going on nor do I really comprehend this technology... I do believe it was only in what I might crudely label luck that I found out how to work this into allowing me on what I am assuming is video broadcast. I have been avoiding most other signs of life in a strange and unusual wave of timidity, I believe I have come to terms with the displacement in my life now enough to reach out to whoever else may share in my dilemma. Let me apologize now for my rude behavior to whoever is regarding this video with what I will assume so graciously is curiosity.

I do fear, however, that I might break this contraption if I continue in my endeavors to figure out how to utilize it to socialize with others. I will declare I do find it an absolute aggravation when I simply wish to acquire help and to be sure others may acknowledge my existence here. It can also be said that it has probably lead to at least some of my reclusive behavior as of late.

[Her features had softened through her explanation and she doesn't seem quite as angry when she finally comes to a stop, just lightly frazzled.]

[Sollux sure is typing a bit different but she's smiling, showing off her lovely rainbow drinker fangs. It's good to see that she isn't completely alone then.]

Thank you. I also had very little intention of trying to alter it.

[A short pause.]

Have you introduced capitalization to your quirk, Sollux? Is there a concrete reason as opposed to you just feeling like change once again?

My apologiie2, chiild.
II am not Sollux Captor, but rather another troll entiirely.
IIf you would try two not be alarmed, iit would be appreciiated.
Many of hii2 companiion2 are here and they wiill no doubt be plea2ed two 2ee you.

[She doesn't seem all that phased.]

So I shall be so bold as to assume you are an adult troll from the label you placed on me and the inclinations that it translates to you being older? It is rather intriguing that you are not him seeing as you have such a familiar blood color and similar quirk, but I will not brand you off as a liar due to witnessing stranger things. Though I am going to inquire, "Many of his companions?"

Who all is here?

II may be iinaccurate, but II believe tho2e that could be con2iidered po22ible companiion2 two Sollux Captor would be the followiing:

Aradia Megido, Gamzee Makara, Karkat Vantas, Nepeta Leijon, Tavros Nitram, Equius Zahhak, Eridan Ampora, and a young cerulean blood.

There ii2 a 2maller number of adult troll2 here, iincludiing my2elf.
A2 a general rule, we do not liive up two the apparent 2tereotype of ravenou2 chiild-eater2.

[That sure is an eyebrow raise and a small chuckle.]

Well, that is very reassuring knowledge. That was of course my very first fear, if there were stereotypical "ravenous child-eater" adult trolls who type in yellow and assist me with my technological inquiries here. It came to my mind directly as I was torn from my plane of existence and forcefully placed into this one.

[There's a long moment of silence before she speaks again.]

I do hope I was not too deadpan via video based chat for you to understand that that was an attempt at humor to bridge the slight awkwardness of just meeting. I was not actually worried about that when I first arrived, in fact I do not think that was on the list of top ten things I was worried about. The thought was only just conceived with you saying that.

IIt ii2 a concept that come2 up more frequently than you would iimagiine.
Thank you for your clariifiicatiion.
Thii2 may have become concerniing two me iif iit wa2 among your fir2t fear2.
Other chiildren have exhiibiited a dii2tiinct lack of expectatiion regardiing the pre2ence of adult2 upon their iiniitiial arriival.
Much le22 one2 2o 2peciifiically a2 all that.

Plea2e note: II wa2 engagiing iin humor iin return.

Do you requiire any a22ii2tance?
There are tho2e of u2 that would be unburdened by offeriing whatever you may need.
Thii2 could iinclude fiindiing a place two 2tay whiile you adapt two your 2urroundiing2, or aiid gatheriing any re2ource2 you may need.
IIt matter2 not.

[Kanaya chuckles a little before crossing her arms.]

I believe I am situated in just fine, it was one of the first things I did when I got here. It is quite embarrassing to be seen in public in these clothes.

Actually, would it be too burdensome to request help in finding suitable materials to make something in better taste to wear and perhaps for some simple company? I must admit my current attire is ruined and sadly I do not have any of my outfits from my respiteblock. It would also be pleasant to finally speak to someone visage to visage about things.

[If you agree to this Psi she will totally force new clothes on you at some point...]
