[there's a lengthy pause, then the video feed clicks on. It's another one of those trolls, and this one appears to be in peak physical condition.

he's also sweating so profusely it's making his skin glisten, and in one hand he's holding half the keyboard. the other half is currently not in view.

once he opens his mouth, it becomes obvious he's missing some teeth.]

I demand information pertaining to the nature of my current location and, if known, the location of any other trolls currently sharing my predicament.

[He passes a hand over his forehead, brushing off moisture. When he looks back at the camera, his expression softens slightly.]

Nepeta, if you're here... my deepest apologies.

Are you really...?

done <3

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

Where are you? I want to see you!

[being-strong.livejournal.com]

Nepeta...

[he looks... sad.]

I... have no excuse for what happened. I'm so excruciatingly sorry to see you ended up here too.

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

Let's not talk about that silly sad stuff, alright? We should just be happy we're here and alive. It's like a second chance with all our furriends!

[being-strong.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's one way to look at it. A somewhat foolish way that glosses over very important facts, but still admirably optimistic.

[he stands]

Where are you? I'm not sure how I brought physical possessions with me, but I have something for you.

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

I'm in a network boothy thing by the fantasy section of this book purrlace! [She's really excited to see you again, Equius <> Shes missed you so much at the tower.]

vid -> action?

[being-strong.livejournal.com]

[Equius has to be far more dignified about it, but even given the circumstances he's glad to see her too.

finding her in the library (?) turns out to be no challenge at all. he round the corner to the fantasy section, motorized cat tail in hand and braced for the palest of tacklepounces.]

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

[Yup! All the network computers are located in the library.]

[It's a good thing he did, because she was actually posed and waiting for the TACKLEPOUNCE OF A LIFETIME.] EQUIUS!

[being-strong.livejournal.com]

[SKIDDING.

BOOKS FLYING EVERYWHERE.

GOOD THING EQUIUS IS ALL BUT IMMUNE TO RUGBURN BY NOW.

Once they bump against a wall, he sits up carefully so he doesn't dislodge her.]

At this point these caprices are hardly unexpected, but you really ought to work on your manners.

[translation: good to see you too, moirail. <>]

[Land of Towers and Books 8T]

[And she's gonna give him the biggest rail hug in the history of ever, nuzzling him a bit and not even caring about the sweat.]

Manners schmaners Equius!

[being-strong.livejournal.com]

[Equius doesn't dare touch her, let alone hug her back -- he could seriously injure her.

so he sits there, all stoic and aloof as she clings.]

And this sort of reaction is precisely why you need me around, to teach you to act with the sort of bearing your blood class deserves.
