[squartatore]

[Sayaka can be found all over the castle, her eyes mostly on the ground, peering into corners when she comes across them. Those who've met her at some point before might notice how she looks a little different today -- the observant will know it's because her bangs keep falling in her face. This is further accentuated by her head being down so much.

And she seems distracted, too. Enough to not watch where she's going all that closely, maybe bump into someone...?]

[siebter]

[ ...bump! This sometimes happens when two people who can't see where they're going are walking in opposite directions. ]

I'm sorry!

[squartatore]

Ah! Sorry!

[her first instinct is to offer a hand, it's only when she notices the eyes that she reaches out to keep him from falling]

[siebter]

[ Luckily, he's a pretty slow walker, so this is not a horrible high-speed collision; he seems unshaken. ]

It's okay-- I'm fine.

[squartatore]

Thank goodness. [she won't be so forward as to pat him down to ascertain that, though she does give him a once-over]

I guess I wasn't paying attention back there.

[siebter]

[ Bandages over the eyes aside, he looks like a healthy young lad! Yay! ]

That's okay. I probably should have been listening better, so it's my fault too.

[squartatore]

You can -- [do that, she was going to ask, then her mind catches up and instead she trails off awkwardly because, well, duh]

Like, echolocation and stuff?

[no Sayaka ECHOLOCATION DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.]

[siebter]

I don't really know what that is...

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Oh you just bumped into the wrong Troll, Sayaka.

This one here is pissed off 24/7.]

Wwhat the fuck!? Wwatch wwhere you're goin' human! Fuckin' hell.

[squartatore]

[she bristles noticeably at being called "human," but curbs the widening snarl because...well, she is more or less one right now, like it or not. And she really should have been watching where she was headed anyway]

Sorry. You okay?

[of course, efforts aside, she doesn't come across as all that apologetic]

[caligulas_aquarium]

...I'm fine.

[Hmph.]

Just wwatch wwhere you're goin' next time.

[squartatore]

Yeah, I will.

[and there better not be a next time]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Wwhat's your problem anywway? Wwalkin' around like that, if you're gonna be fuckin' depressed or somethin' at least keep out a' other people's wway. Specifically mine.

[If there's one thing Eridan knows well, it's potential angst!

He does it quite often after all.]

[squartatore]

I wasn't depressed. [what is it with everyone getting that impression? Does she give off a bad vibe?

spoilers: yes]

I dropped something, so I'm retracing my steps to look for it.

[billiardsplz]

[well it was obviously a bad time for Gold to have randomly wanted a hot coffee, because it's going down his front and miraculously not on Sayaka at all]

FFFFFFFFFFFFF---ooowwwww

[squartatore]

[her widening eyes are entirely unindicative of how her brain is grinding to a halt due to the sheer levels of "what" it has undergone in those mere moments

the rising heat in the air snaps her back (not quickly enough), though, and she manages to choke out something that, if comprehensible, would probably be rude]

We need to get you help!

[billiardsplz]

[he sucks in air through his teeth, trying to prevent himself from swearing]

Sayaka?! Wha-- [the pain makes his brain process extra slowly] Why weren't you watching where you were going!?

[squartatore]

That's not important right now! [sheesh. CLINIC, CLINIC. It's...right, on the second floor! Gonna drag Gold by his arm to the nearest staircase]

[billiardsplz]

Hey! Watch the jacket! Where are you taking me!?

[squartatore]

To a doctor! [obviously D<] You caught the brunt of that.

[losemycherry]

Hey there! <3 I've seen you around the castle before, but I don't think we've met!

I'm Yamada. What's your name?

[squartatore]

[...

...uh...

she'd say something like "hey, aren't we past the age of going up to random people all of a sudden and introducing ourselves," but instead what comes out is a sound that might begin with O. Surprise does weird things to people]

-- Sayaka.

[losemycherry]

[Yamada continues, unabashed by Sayaka's curt reply.]

Cool! So, how long have you been in Paradisa?

[squartatore]

Months, almost a year. Stopped keeping count after a while.

[will answering get this weirdo out of her grill...?]

[losemycherry]

Well, it's nice to finally be acquainted with you, Sayaka.

[She doesn't seem like much of a threat, I guess. Even so, I probably shouldn't let my guard down around her.]

[squartatore]

Um, yeah. Same here...

[OKAY SHE ISN'T BEING VERY CONVINCING, deal with it.]
