AC: Wake up

[est33medpouncellor]

[Action -  852 Goldberg]

Waking up after you die is weird. It's also sad... But mostly weird. (Getting over the sad was pretty easy when she found everyone in the Dream Bubbles, though she tried really hard to ignore the dead part!)

This was not a bubble.

Nepeta wakes up to a pastel and near white 'pink' ceiling, in a bed that's just a little more coloured than that. The first thing she does after realizing this is realize everything ELSE however, bolting upright from the bed and looking around with wide eyes.

 Maybe it's just a joke? Some kind of game? Games are fun, though it would have been better to tell her what's going on and and and... 

She doesn't scream. Nope, no screaming..! Just swallowing, looking and...

Hyperventilating. That's apparently an option. Breathing ends up quickening with the more she sees- Human hive shaped toy with human dolls, table with stuffed animals, sunlight-

SUNLIGHT-

Nepeta is quickly under the bed regardless of the fact that the sun here isn't going to blind her on the spot, and she's quite entirely under it before she realizes that much as her surroundings are not quite the same she isn't either- Horns gone, clothes are different, everything's different and-

"...Nnm-!" For a moment, there's a huge wave of fear coming over her at all that, despite herself.

Suddenly however, something else comes to mind, and she's climbing out from under the bed with wide eyes. If she's here... Then what about the others? That thought in itself is calming her down quickly, and making her feel a lot less scared and a lot more ready to figure out what's going on. (Which is good, really.)

Residents of the house might see a young teenaged girl with short black hair and green eyes slowly poking her head out the door- or at least hear her call out, with a much steadier voice...

"..Equius?" Pause. And swallow.  "...Terezi?" ...Another pause. "...Hello???" Alright now she looks less afraid and more annoyed really. How'd she get here anyways..!?! (THIS WASN'T FUNNY AT ALL..!!)

[Phone]

[Nepeta doesn't even know if her friends are here or NOT really, so who cares about asking if she can call someone specific. This is a phone, and there's no computers or ANNNNNYTHING here!! and she's not going outside just yet, erk-]

Um.

[...Shhhhhh she's never seen this kind of thing before shhhhh...]

Okay, since there's no Trollian here, I R33LLY hope this works, because I don't want to be here all alone..!! [Because how is she supposed to know how every one is doing then??? And she'll miss them all...] So...

So if you're here, say something!!!

[NEPETA, YOUR NAME-

NEPETA YOU NEVER GAVE YOUR NAME-

Ah well, with luck, they'll at least recognize her voice.]

[est33medpouncellor]

Wow....

That long..?

[cawtier]

Yeah. Time's pretty messed up around here.

[est33medpouncellor]

Wowwwwww...

More messed up than Aradia's time things?

[cawtier]

Yeah, way more. To put this into perspective, I'm our Time player, and even I think this is kind of a mess. It's all kind of a-continuity and parallel bullshit. We're like a side-loop that doesn't have any bearing on the Alpha timeline or something even if we go back to it. If we can. I dunno, it's always kind of weird working out how droning works.

[est33medpouncellor]

Mmmmm... Cr33py...

Wait- Does that mean I could have been here without realizing it??

[cawtier]

Yeah, actually, I'm pretty sure you were. All twelve of you were here when I first arrived.

[est33medpouncellor]

Huh. I guess they really are weird time things going on...

[cawtier]

Yeah. Or weird brainwashing things. Really, it could be either one, but once you open that can of worms, pretty much anything could be happening.

why did the image of her tying garden rakes to her hands come to mind.

[est33medpouncellor]

Mmmm...

I should try and make some claws then!! Just in case! [Nepeta...

HOW.]

[cawtier]

I guess? Don't put too much effort into it though... they tend to give us stuff back after fucking with us, like our sylladice or strife specibii.

Y'know, or completely useless but awesome shit like the ability to draw on people by thinking it.

[est33medpouncellor]

[WHAT WHAT WHAT-]

You can draw on things just by thinking it!? That's PAWSOME..!!! [OH WOW DAVE, you have a fan..!]

[cawtier]

Yes, it is totally a sweet and responsible use of sprite magic.

[HE'S WILLING TO LET THAT PUN SLIDE... FOR A FAN.]

[est33medpouncellor]

You're a sprite? [Wat- but how-

Someone has apparently not realized which Dave she is speaking to.]

[cawtier]

Yeah. Davesprite.

[est33medpouncellor]

Oh wow!

I've talked to Jaspersprite, but never you!!

[cawtier]

Rose's tentacle cat thing? Somehow, I'm not surprised.

[est33medpouncellor]

Yea..!! He reminded me a lot of what Pounce was like, and I miss him a lot still so... [Ahhhh... But Pounce is gone, so stop thinking of that...]

[cawtier]

Your cat? Yeah, I guess we all lost a lot of things. At least my Bro showed up here at one point.

[est33medpouncellor]

He's gone now? ['Bro'... Must be his lusus right? Something like that??]

[cawtier]

Yeah, went on got droned for good it seems. Who knows though, maybe he'll be back.

[est33medpouncellor]

Oh nooooooo...

I hope he does come back then..! Because that sounds even worse than if he was just 'gone'..!

[cawtier]

Yeah, sorta. I mean, it's kind of awkward when I see his drone walking around being a giant tool instead of being awesome.

[est33medpouncellor]

[She's nodding on her end.]

Yea...

[Wait.] Hey, if you were a sprite, but this place made you not-sprite, what do you look like now??

[cawtier]

I look like an orange crow with really sweet shades. Pretty much the sweetest shades.

I feel like I'm not using enough puns, BUT MY CHANCES AREN'T THERE- xD

[est33medpouncellor]

Wowwwww... I didn't know you could have shades that small..!
