[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] The screaming was rather short lived, as if it were an intermittent noise of the mansion settling- or would it be more accurate to compare such a thing to a one-time poltergeist? Either way, the screaming had barely lasted 2 seconds, but the quick, thunderous pacing? Yeah, that still went on. It eased up as it made its way to the stairs. Just get outside, just get outside, JUST GET OUTSIDE JUST GET OUTSIDE! AWAY FROM THIS ACCURSED BUILDING AND ITS SIN! Down came Kankri, only to be met with a central area full of people. NOT HELPING! Is it even possible to be any redder? Well he certainly felt warmer in the face as new embarrassment piqued amidst his already existing maelstrom of emotions. Do NOT look this way, he does not want to be seen. He hid himself behind his shell, arms folded tight across his front as he incessantly rubbed and pricked at the upper sleeves of his sweater, stance shifted slightly to the side to narrow his frame. Unfortunately his 'divine powers' did not grant him such an ability to become invisible- not to his knowledge anyways. Permeation would be a much appreciated skill to have at this very point in infinite time of the after life. 07:17:33

[color=#005682]ARANEA: Aranea had arrived recently, but she had decided to set up a little booth outside. She was simply sitting there. The sign was blank, since she hadn't really learned much about the area she was in yet. It was just a place for her to sit down and rest after wandering aimlessly for a while. She could sense a lot of strong feelings coming from the building, and there were quite a few that she didn't want to get too close to. It also felt like there were some multiples of people inside, so she figured there were enough people inside to sort through their own issues without her needing to get involved. 07:21:35
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz waved his hand towards Meulin, shaking his head as well. Though, the tense atmosphere was interrupted by Kankri's entrance, Kurloz' eyes following the other. He'd ask if Kankri was okay, but he didn't want to cause Kankri to go off on a tangent of some kind. At the very least, he offered a little wave towards his flustered friend. 07:23:08
[color=#416600]♌: She understood and decided conflict will not be needed, once the footsteps of kankri stopped nearby. She would turn to look at him, it was a little version of her matesprit. She thought he was adorable. She could tell he was having trouble for the moment. “What s33ms to be the purroblem young one?” she tilts her head a little in curiosity.[/color] 07:32:08
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] TOO MANY EYES! Under average circumstances, Kankri would be demanding a greater audience as he would prepare the greatest of speeches to impart upon them about whatever needed to be spoken on, but right now? He really, really, REALLY... wished everyone were blind- if even for just a few moments. He rubbed at his arms, being cold was impossible given his face, so it was obviously nothing to do with temperature- not freezing temperatures. Feverish? Yes. Probably, but he wouldn't admit it. He opened his mouth, but then promptly closed it. Uncharacteristic! How wild! 07:44:39

[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Seeing as nobody else was really approaching the poor troll, Kurloz stepped away from the group to approach Kankri. He made a few gestures as though he was offering to take Kankri someplace quiet. <DO YOU WANNA TALK IT OUT?> He had positioned himself to block the other's view of Kankri, seeing as his towering frame was big enough to do so. 07:57:40
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She pulled her shipping scrapbook out and started writing in it making eye contact with kankri. Until kurloz decided to move in the way, once she was done writing she decided to walk up to the signless and the disciple letting kurloz handle kankri.[/color] 08:01:04

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Was Kurloz always this tall? Surely not, right? He doesn't even know if this is his very own Kurloz or not- what does that matter? It doesn't! But he's still EXTREMELY offput by the grapeblooded "skeleton's" approach. Kankri slithered a shy hand from a tucked fold, what was he plotting- <OUTSIDE. PLEASE.> SIGNING? HOOOHOOO? Who taught him that? WHO CARES!? It was so... noobish. It was slow and rudimentary, a sharp contrast to how he would speak verbally, but it would suffice for right now seeing as all sense of voice is failing him at the moment. 08:08:01

[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz didn't expect Kankri of all trolls to know any sign language, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise. He nodded and guided Kankri to the front door, stepping outside with him. He could practically smell the feelings that were boiling up inside Kankri. <DO YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER?> He glanced pointedly towards the booth with Aranea sitting at it. She hadn't noticed them, yet. Kurloz followed the question up with a gesture towards the flowery environment that wasn't too far off. 08:24:46

[color=#FF0000]♋: The Sufferer raised a hand to scratch the back of his head. The clown had wandered off with his other self... He wondered if there was something going on between them? That would certainly be strange... There was no way to even imagine something like that, but he was sure someone with a stronger imagination would be able to. Clearing his throat, he turned back to the smaller Meulin. "Would you be able to fill us in on... What that may have been about?" He was more-so referencing the clown going off with Kankri, but all of this seemed pretty chaotic. 08:27:50

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] The chilled air did little to alleviate the blood that broiled beneath his face, but it provided a fine complement to his sweater. Less cluttered and muddled by the confines of walls he did not seem to mind Aranea's supposed proximity. <NO. THANK YOU.> Even while signing, his words came off in that proper manner. He'd say much more but his expertise only carries so far. He did have to study it rather quickly while he was still alive, but he tried to pick up as best he could. A heated sigh ushered out of his mouth, seeming to deflate a whole size with how long it lasted. He placed a hand to his scalding cheek and signed once more <APOLOGIES.> 08:37:07
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She was asked a shipping question?! This is her time to shine! Oh no you have done it now sufferer. She pulled out her shipping scrapbook filled with all the romance intricacies of the group, flipping to the page of kankri. It read as follows, Purroud virgin. Possible red interests, latula, cronus, aranae?, possible black interests cronus, porrim. She then moved the page to kurloz, the quadrants state as follows. Ex-matesprit meulin, possible red interests, unsure. Possible quadrant interests others? Kankri, latula. Morial, mituna. She only knew so much about his other quadrants.

Considering how warm lowbloods seemed to be, Kurloz could only assume that Kankri was almost literally burning up. He paused for a moment, lifting his own much cooler hands and pushing Kankri's hands out of the way to rest his own hands on Kankri's cheeks to try to help Kankri's face cool down some. There wasn't much else he could do, but he didn't want Kankri to pass out or something from all the blood rushing to his head. #:o) 09:09:55

He cleared his throat, adjusting his cloak a little awkwardly. "I see..."

Black crushes include cronus and porrim. Furr kurloz, meulin and him used to be matesprits at some point, however she is unsure if he has more.

It was shaping up to be a nice outing- aaaaaaand then Kurloz was touching him. The heat pervading his cheeks was at odds with the wintery touch that ran through Kurloz's hands, "NO-" that was a lot louder than he anticipated, that would have alerted a lot more people if they weren't outside. He stifled his voice once more, gently taking ahold of the other's hands, "Wh-What I meant was- that is n-not necessary, Kurloz.. b-but your concern is duly noted and very, very appreciated.." 09:53:00

He didn't move his hands, but he also didn't give any resistance if Kankri decided to try to actually move Kurloz's hands away from his face. This position, however...

Gracious, he's already triple- no, QUINTUPLE revised a sermon for all that has happened, stocking mental notes here and there but things JUST KEEP HAPPENING! "I am very well a-and capa6le-" he slowly relieved Kurloz's hands from his face, cheeks missing the prickling cold already, but that's just because he's on, metaphorical, fire.

[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: He was sure that Kankri was fully capable of dealing with his own problems. Kurloz rarely got involved in other people's issues, but he knew that Kankri had plenty willing to dote on him enough to make sure he recovered from anything. Whether he wanted the help or not. He waved a dissmissive hand before giving Kankri a thumbs up and a smile. <IF YOU NEED HELP WITH SOMETHING, TELL ME.> As long as it didn't involve upsetting Mituna, Kurloz was willing to help him out as best as he could. Besides the few who doted on Kankri, most people avoided him. Kurloz knew full well what that was like, even if it didn't bother him too much. 10:15:21
[color=#FF0000]♋: Imaging [i]himself[/i] having any sort of interest in other trolls was a pretty wild idea, but the thought of him having some kind of blackrom interest towards the troll who raised him was a little bizarre, as well. Sure, she could be overbearing, but she was there for him and was the reason he was able to live out some semblance of a life on Alternia. "I suppose he also has taken a vow of celibacy..." Though, the Sufferer broke his long ago once he finally opened up to his Disciple. "I wonder if he's in the process of rethinking it now." He laughed a little, crossing his arms. "I don't think I could ever imagine you with... Well, anyone else, Meu." He looked towards his disciple, his brows knitted together as he even tries to imagine her with someone else. Sure, it was possible, but... They spent so much time together that it was hard to imagine, not to mention their devotion to each other. 10:18:52

It wasn't Kankri's fault, but it did remind him of the nightmare he'd had that caused him to deafen Meulin. After a pause, he waved a hand. <:o/ YES, BUT I DO NOT DWELL ON IT.> He paused for a moment, obviously not wanting to go into particular details. <IT IS BETTER TO BE HONEST. MAYBE CONFIDE IN SOMEONE.> Kankri didn't really have a moirail, but having a friend who would listen was just as well. <I DO NOT REGRET MANY THINGS. WE ARE MADE TO FEEL THINGS JUSTIFIED TO OUR OWN MINDS.> He held his hand up to his face as if to think a little further. He didn't know exactly what was troubling Kankri, but it was pretty obvious it was something Kankri preferred to avoid. Granted, it was also obvious what sort of thing was bothering Kankri. <SOMETIMES WE ALL NEED TO DO A LITTLE EXPLORING. I CAN'T SAY MUCH WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND. :o)> 11:00:27
[color=#FF0000]♋: He frowned a little at his friends words, walking over to go sit down next to him. "I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that. I know there isn't much I can do to make up for leaving you alone for so long, but I hope we will be able to create some new memories here. I hope you will be able to find some peace of mind now that we won't have to worry about the rules of Alternia." The Sufferer rested a hand on Psii's, offering a friendly smile towards the other. 11:03:45
PORRIM: ((also+ lo+ve kurlo+z still actively making things mo+re difficult by making his wo+rds like riddles and co+nfusing asf 11:06:26
[color=#416600]♌: "What is a cake? so mew where a ship battery for the evil tyrant?" wow he did have it pretty rough. She is just going to let sufferer deal with this as nothing she has done or said so far has worked with psii anyway, She would go over and sit next to sufferer if there was room. she's not going to really but in on there thing though. [/color] 11:08:41
[color=#6a006a]CRONUS: he is not about to unpack the goldbloods baggage and decides to get up and go outside, he’s still a hot mess but he thinks lying in the snowv vwill help. he sees aranea’s booth and decides to lay dowvn in the snowv nearby it, not actually saying anything just yet. as arenea can be just as bad as kankri vwhen it comes to being a chatterbox. [/color] 11:11:10
♊: Psii jolted a bit when Signless rested a hand on his shoulder, the guy looked a bit nervous. Why was his comrade apologizing for? Psii was just talking about his experiences in the helm, they were gruesome that's for sure, even he knew that. But, at the same time, it was like he got used to. "It's- alright." Psii said, he sounded like the first time he ever met his Kankri. 11:13:55
[color=#FF0000]♋: Signless patted his friend's shoulder gently, turning his gaze towards the fireplace. "I'm glad we were all able to meet up again here. It's almost reminded me of some of my visions." He wished he'd been able to bring this kind of peace to Alternia, but at the very least he was now able to relax properly with his friends. All things considered, though, he wasn't really sure what people did for fun. They'd all spent most of their time in hiding, after all. 11:21:36
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] It is rather unfortunate Kurloz can not speak, Kankri can't even pretend to remember what his sounded like the last time he had the chance to hear it. It is also unfortunate because this exposes how much of a novice to signing Kankri truly is- granted he is far better at reading than replying, but even that isn't exactly [i]great[/i]. There were some words that he couldn't catch, some bits and pieces that eluded him, but he got the overall gist of what Kurloz was relaying, "Hm. Thank y9u. F9rgive the assumpti9ns, 6ut I figured y9u seemed s9 resistant t9 many rand9m 9ccurences that y9u'd 6e rather enlightening and what y9u have said al9ne was plenty 9f help. I'd regret t9 keep y9u fr9m Meulin any further than I have- especially c9nsidering it was extremely sh9rt n9tice and with9ut pr9per warning." He gently prodded his chin with his knuckles, eyes drawn to the snow in mild thought, face finally dimming a to just barely a rosy tint, "D9n't all9w me t9 9ccupy all y9ur attenti9n, I'm fine n9w, truly." 11:24:01
♊: Even if the goldblood was an adult, he was still built like a twig, Signless' patted his shoulder gently but it sounded like something broke. It was ok, Psii wasn't hurt at all, it was just the way he was built: like a twig. "A-Are you real?" 11:29:31
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: He waved a hand dismissively. Kurloz had gotten particularly skilled at smiling through just about everything, but he wasn't immune to getting irritated. In fact, he was prone to profane gestures when people started to really push his buttons. <I'M SURE SHE IS HAVING PLENTY OF FUN WITH THE OTHERS. MY PRESENCE IS NOT NECESSARY.> Kurloz shifted his gaze off into the distance, looking briefly at Aranea's booth and the seadweller laying in the snow. Those were both things he decided he was not going to acknowledge. Conversing would certainly be easier if he decided to use his chucklevoodoos, but he tended to use those very sparingly. He was at least able to force some form of clarity in Mituna's head by using it to converse with him, but he still didn't do that often. <SEEK ME IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE. I WILL DO WHAT I CAN. :o)> 11:31:09
[color=#FF0000]♋: "As far as I'm aware," he said this with a small chuckle, his expression softening. "I'm not quite sure how to prove that, though." He turned his gaze back to Psii as he said this, glancing towards his shoulder like he was trying to make sure he didn't somehow manage to deform his friends shoulder. 11:33:42
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She had investigating to do and would scurry off while the others weren’t paying attention, with her scrapbook in hand. She would leave the mansion and hide behind something to watch cronus. Also noticing arenea has arrived and set up her booth, she will be stealthy for now.[/color] 11:36:10
Kankri MK II: Deux Inquieter [] joined chat. ~~ 38 ~~ 11:36:59
PORRIM: ((kurlo+z putting kankri under his arm like a bag o+f luggage and just walking aro+und like that 11:37:57
(( meulin writes that down in confusion lmao 11:38:18
♊: "How to prove it... hmm" He was thinking about it for a while before coming up with a dumb but brilliant idea. "Oh- remember that time you were kicking a fig tree because it didn't have figs but you didn't know it wasn't fig season?" Psii had a shit-eating grin on his face while he said that. 11:41:12
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] <OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN.> As his hands rested from signing again, he let his eyes close, a much more docile breath exiting his mouth compared to the overexcited, fiery one from earlier. It was good to reclaim his pan from the static that had come over him- nearly found himself swept away and lost to the tides of... stress? Perhaps that was not the best descriptor, but it would suffice for now. The stoicism that usually found itself upon his face had reformed, he was really was feeling much better, he even offered Kurloz a smile, albeit a small twinge of his mouth, but Kankri was thinking, so hopefully it was good for them. 11:45:04
[color=#FF0000]♋: Signless let out a bit of an embarrassed laugh, fiddling with the collar of his cloak. "You never let me live it down, I don't think I'd be able to forget even if I wanted to. I don't know why nobody stopped me, I feel like I was at it for at least half an hour." 11:45:05
[color=#416600]♌: She did not want to get in the way of their reconnecting, but she did let out a giggle at the memory herself. she did not stop him because to her it was funnier to watch him continue. [/color] 11:46:53
♊: "I was enjoying the moment, and also we had our bets. Meulin thought you would notice in about... 10 minutes? I said an hour because you looked like a dumbass that day." Psii looked convinced enough. "I know a product of my mind would still try to kick that tree." 11:49:45
PORRIM: ((thats it im being go+o+fy 11:51:35
(( goofy time 11:51:49

[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz was pretty good at noticing the subtle changes in people's expressions. He was an expert at reading people. Kurloz offered a double thumbs up and a smile in return. He sort of wanted to pat him on the head, but he didn't want to risk setting Kankri off again. Comforting people usually wasn't his strong suit, so he was glad he managed to help Kankri out. There was a short pause before Kurloz reached out to pick up the smaller troll, giving him a firm embrace and patting him on the back gently. Of course, he didn't allow this to last too long and was relatively swift with setting Kankri back down on his feet. Kankri was certainly especially warm and it almost made him want to hold him for longer, but he didn't want to push his limits too much. He gave another double thumbs up and a big smile. #:o) 11:53:35
[color=#FF0000]♋: "I like to think I learned well enough after a lecture from Dolorosa to be more aware of the environment and seasons- as well the proper way of attempting to harvest things- not to do that sort of thing ever again." He rubbed the back of his neck, laughing a little. The sound of Dolorosa's lecture was almost clear in his head. 11:55:30
♊: "We sure hope you learned after that, or not. I think I got better at betting. Please do it again." 11:56:23
[color=#416600]♌: “I bet next time it will be longer than 35 minutes.” she starts laughing.[/color] 11:57:16
♊: "You are giving him too much credit. 45 minutes maximum." 11:59:24
PORRIM: ((that meme o+f the guy with the huge ass in the sho+wer thats like "every1 is so+ mean to+ me" but its signless 11:59:56

[color=#416600]♌: “To be furr mew can be stubborn.” [/color] 12:02:17
[color=#FF0000]♋: "Okay, I suppose you've got me there..." 12:02:49
♊: "She has a point. Remember that time you got mad because the food we used to buy got slightly expensive?" 12:03:22
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She would put her scrapbook back in the sylladex after writing down what she just saw. Sprinting out and running toward kurloz, pouncing on him. Fast as fuck boi. She then starts rapidly signing at him, it’s almost gibberish but some words can be seen such as, are mew okay?! [/color] 12:03:38
[color=#FF0000]♋: "I think that was completely justified, though!" 12:04:46
♊: "See? Stubborn." 12:06:36
[color=#416600]♌: “agr33d!” she would give the sufferer a small kiss on the cheek.[/color] 12:07:59
[color=#FF0000]♋: He crossed his arms and huffed. The sudden increase in price [i]was[/i] unreasonable! 12:11:17
[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Kurloz put a hand on Meulin's shoulder as an attempt to get her to settle down. <EVERYTHING IS FINE.> 12:23:59
