[Humans sleep at night, right? It seemed like the best time to try leaving his room, at least, considering from what he'd seen most of the residents here weren't nocturnal, or so he thought.

He's going to open his door slowly, leaning out of his room and examining the hallway outside; all clear from what he could tell, soooo he'll step outside as quickly as he can without making any noise and head downstairs.

Mainly because with everything going on, he was too caught up in his own stuff to remember you could wish for stuff here, namely food, resulting in his hunger finally getting to him.

Then once he finally gets to the kitchen, he's totally raiding everything. If he picks up something he doesn't like, he'll just put it back and keep looking, otherwise he'll finish whatever the hell it was he picked up cause it was more than likely delicious.]

[ooc: because being able to avoid your loss by hanging around in your room is lame, I'm throwing him on out there. Hallways on the way down or the kitchen itself, your choice, but this troll clearly needs to be bothered in the most awkward situation ever]

[Apollo has a habit of wandering into the kitchen in the middle of the night. He doesn't need to sleep like normal people do, or eat for that matter. But he does enjoy food so he does it anyways. He hadn't expected to have any company at this time of night though.]

Finding anything good?

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He'll tense up the moment he hears another voice, mentally berating himself for coming down here in the first place.

Still, best to just play it cool which eridan ampora can't do to save his life.]

Maybe.

...why?

[solar_absorber]

[He shrugs a bit and moves towards the table.]

No reason. Just making conversation. No one is usually up ransacking the kitchen at this hour.

...Except for me.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Oh, right, right.

[Cough, awkward. He'll come over to the table too after a few minutes with a plate, which just has an assortment of...well, a bunch of completely random foods you'd never see grouped together normally.

Covering all of the food groups in one go!]

Kinda nocturnal on my part, but uh...don't really spend much a' my fuckin' time here, only when I have to.

What's your excuse?

[totesadorkabull]

[Unfortunately for Eridan, Tavros had a similar idea. He's still adjusting to being on an opposite sleep schedule to most of the castle, but he actually enjoys the quiet. No one to accidentally bump into or get in the way of when he heads down to get something to eat.

Usually, because there's someone in the kitchen this time when he wheels his way in.]

Oh! Um, hi, Feferi. I didn't expect to see you, down here. But, um, I guess that was a little silly of me, because you're also a troll.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Oh god not Tavros not tavros not tavr-

This is stupid.

Of course it's Tavros, you know it's Tavros, don't try and hope otherwise.]

Hey.

[Pulling off his usual nuetral scowlface right at you Nitram.]

[totesadorkabull]

[He...doesn't even realize and just cringes back.]

Um, is there something wrong, that I did? I don't remember anything. You do look, um, upset, though...

[caligulas_aquarium]

[A huff.]

Of course you didn't do anything wrong, what the fuck would make you think that?

[totesadorkabull]

It's just that you, seem kind of angry, and, uh, that really isn't very like you. But if it wasn't something, that I did, I will just get something to eat, and then, leave, if you want.

1/2

[caligulas_aquarium]

[God, Tavros, you are the most hopeless troll he has ever known.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He'll sort've move a nearby chair a few feet out of the way with his foot, making space for Tavros at the table.

He has this huge plate of random types of food set in front of him, which he figures he probably won't eat all by himself, so may as well let Tavros stay.

He's not going to say anything though. Just assumes you'll get the implication.]

[totesadorkabull]

[For a few seconds Tavros hovers, unsure, but yeah, he understands the offer. And he's very worried about "Feferi's" mood. Maybe he can cheer her up! ...somehow.

So he wheels over and quietly takes some fruit and bread.]

Thank you. This is, very kind of you to offer.

[caligulas_aquarium]

No point in turnin' you the fuck away I guess.

[Reaching for a celery stick.

Bite.

BLUH that was terrible.

He'll just sort of throw it back near the plate and look over at what Tavros took, then snatch an apple from him, taking a bite. That's better.]

[elementoflol]

[Do you know who can't be avoided... EVER? Pinkie Pie, of course, who is popping up out of nowhere and blowing a party popper in his face.]

HIIIII~!

[totesadorkabull]

I guess, not. But, um, are you sure you're feeling okay?

[He's concerned, okay, even if he looks like he wants to protest about the apple. He was going to eat that. }:(

He'll just take a bite of a tomato, which he happens to like raw. Mmm.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[...oh god no.

WHY NOW YOU ACCURSED HOOFBEAST DON'T YOU EVER SLEEP

But instead he'll completely forgo shouting at her. He doesn't want to end up ruining Feferis reputation, especially if it happens to be with people she might not have ever met before.

So he'll just...sit there completely unfazed by both the party popper, and her face.]

Hey.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He doesn't really want to repeat himself, Tav's constant badgering is really getting on his nerves.

SO HERE HAVE THIS FORCED SMILE]

Better?

[totesadorkabull]

[But he cares! And he's not blind; he can tell that smile is forced. He sighs sadly.]

I'm sure, um, that if I say no, that it will only make you more upset. And that's not a thing, that I want. So I won't say no, even if I might be thinking it, a little.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Uuuuuuugh.

He'll look around for a moment, making sure there was noone around, then sigh, going back to that scowl.]

I'll tell you why.

[Then he reaches across the table and grabs Tavros by his t-shirt with both hands, scowling just a bit more and gritting his teeth.]

But if you tell anyone YOU ARE DEAD. Got it?

[totesadorkabull]

Um, being dead is already a thing, that is, I already was dead. But I won't tell anyone, I promise.

[Okay, there's definitely something really really wrong here and he's so very uncomfortable and he just wishes she'd let go...]

[caligulas_aquarium]

THEN Y-...whatever.

[He'll scowl at him for a moment in silence, then...]

I'm not Feferi.

[Still holding onto you though.]

[totesadorkabull]

You're...not?

But, um, I have to ask, because I'm very confused right now. Why do you look like Feferi right now, if you're not her?

[Please let go. This is so uncomfortable. Except he doesn't actually say that out loud and just holds very still.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Alright, he'll let go. He returns to that apple, taking a bite out of it as he stares at Tavros.

And sloooowly eats the bite he took, all the while glaring at him.

Until finally he speaks.]

This castle does extra shit on top of what it takes from us when we first get here, apparently.

Equius got turned into a hoofbeast a few days ago for example.

This is what it did to me an' her.

[totesadorkabull]

[He sighs in relief and chews thoughtfully on a piece of bread while he processes that.]

Oh. Aradia did say she got turned into a frog once... That doesn't seem so bad, but, um, I guess being in someone else's body would be weird, a little.

So, if you're not Feferi... Wait, um, Eridan?

[caligulas_aquarium]

It's funny, I honestly didn't think you'd figure it out.
