[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.]

The deviice ii2 not 2o compliicated.
Do not attempt two change your mode of communiicatiion.
II wiill forward you a 2hort guiide iin a moment.

[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.

I see...your new. I too don't understand this technology.

[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?

I am not the most technologically savvy so if you are experiencing problems I would advise asking someone to aid you as I have done.

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.

[She sounds curious.]

Miss Dolorosa? No... ah, I'm sorry.

[Zelda gets back on the subject at hand.]

This technology can be quite strange, but I've come to find that it adapts to its user after awhile. If you continue to experiment with it, it should become something you can handle with time.

Ka---? [Blink blink then a scowl. Looks like she doesn't remember this place, but from his interactions with her before, he had a good general impression of her ~~Enough to not lump her in with all the other trolls, that was~~, that he'll be... somewhat helpful.

We'll as helpful as Silver can be anyway.]

Hmph. The bubble is called Vatheon, and we can't go home at all. There are other trolls around, but I don't know [or care much] who they are.

[Doot doot, sure is the netwo--]

[--rk...]

[That sure is Kanaya... Oh man oh god, ok. Well, the last one here was fine, kinda. They definitely didn't speak as much as they use to, but how could he blame her since she found out about him murdering her and all. But they were peaceful, at least.]

[But this one? She's all glowy and stuff, which is kinda cool, but kinda odd. Because, yeah he killed her, but she definitely wasn't a light ficture replacement then. So, what the actual fuck?]

oH, uHHH,
hEY KANAYA,
iF IT HELPS, i CAN MOST DEFINITELY BE ONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR EXISTENCE,
sINCE I CAN SEE YOU EXISTING,
aT THIS VERY MOMENT,

[Maybe he'll just... Ask her what's up, with the safety of text. She obviously doesn't remember being here, with all she had to say, not to mention the time in between her disappearance and reappearance... Yeah. That's never too promising.]

hey kan long time no see hahaha but im guessin probably not so much for you

[Sorry he's going to kind of ignore everything you said and instead - ]

You're back!

:33 < kanaya???
:33 < is it really really you this time?
:33 < *ac purrs a gr33ting at ga*

I've tried but most here are just as confused as I am. Unfortunately.

It takes time to get used to a new environment.

[Wow, you really talk a lot don't you. He's just going to somewhat faze out most of what's being said and be thankful his glasses hide the fat he's really only taking in one or two words. Time to make educated guesses on how to respond.]

So, is there anything specific you need to know about? I can try to help~

[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.

Highly understandable. It is quite a shocking change. If I do learn how to operate it, I will be sure to offer some advice in an attempt to assist you.

I am afraid you have me confused for another for at least a fleeting moment of time anyway.

[Kanaya sighs before she offers a smile, y e p Zelda, a living lightbulb is smiling at you, fangs and all.]

I have been experimenting with it, to no avail... I do hope you are correct in your assumption for in this current moment I am no more than a loss for how it works.

So I should forfeit all hope to return to where I'm from now? Well, that is somewhat disconcerting. Instead of wallowing in feelings that would bring about no help to anyone nor myself I guess I will just have to come to terms with it and continue on. Thank you for the information. I believe I will just have to find a way to enjoy my stay in the spherical depths of this world.

Perhaps that is highly plausible if there are other trolls here.

[Oh, someone else offering her advice... wait. This is far too purple, far too fishy and FAR too Eridan.]

[How dare he have the gall to be alive here after what he did. Dooming their entire race and having the nerve to offer her help in such a condescending manner.]

[Did he really say he was being gracious? Is that really a thing she just witnessed with her own eyes?

Urge to gut him like a fish rising.

Jegus take the wheel or there is going to be fish fillet served.]

[Eridan, the light fixture is glaring at you and baring her teeth in such a way that obviously says she wants to murder you 413 times over, hell, she probably has at least five times already in her mind.

If looks could fucking kill.]

Do not converse with me and offer help like you are doing some good deed as if I would beseech you in some manner or another. I wholly advise you end this conversation where it stands before you arouse the thought of me cutting you through with my chainsaw once again.
