[If you've been paying attention to your journal, you might see a quick flicker of an enraged pair of broken shades glaring up at you. If you haven't, well you'll probably see them first-hand soon because Equius has arrived and he is not very happy.

There's a fierce yell and a quick glimpse of the room as the journal goes soaring through the air and into the wall. Hard to read properly when you're blind with anger.]

WHEN I FIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS-

[His voice quickly becomes distant as he makes his way into the hall, shutting the door with a loud SLAM.

Anyone who sees the young troll might want to stay out of his way or risk having him charge into you/interrogate you because THIS IS OBVIOUSLY YOUR FAULT.]

oh hell.

*Sollux is in his room, but the sound of someone rampaging in the hallways is unmistakable. Having what he's pretty sure is Equius's entry he should really know better than to check it out...but he opens his door and peeks out into the hall anyway.*

[The moment the door is opened, Equius is already rushing past. His eyes are clouded with rage so he hardly notices the familiar face in the corner of his eye as he continues his charge down the hallway.

Where's he going? Not even he knows! Perhaps you ought to call out to him before he gets too far!]

[Commentlog]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux is torn between following and watching Equius destroy the keep and its inhabitants and trying to do something. After a couple seconds he figures he should try to be nice to one of the few members of his species left and steps out of his room.*

Hey! Sweaty asshole!

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[A chill runs up his back at such foul language. Skidding to a halt, Equius does a quick 180 and glares straight at Sollux.

Oh great. It's him.]

How many times must I tell you not to refer to me by that vulgar name, Captor. Where are we?

[The only reason Equius isn't charging him down is because he's sure that if this were a prank of his, he would have pulled it sooner. And certainly not in the middle of a crisis.]

AUDIO OKAY GAWD

[abstinentzombie]

Quit yelling! For crying out loud.

[There's the sound of the door swinging open again. Equius swears he could have heard a voice in here as he was leaving but there doesn't seem to be anyone in here.]

Who's there?

[There's a frustrated growl. He has no time for childish hide-n-seek games!]

Where are you?

[He will find you, voice. HE WILL FIND YOU.]

[Nice try, but Equius isn't that easily fooled.]

I warned you not to try to break into my mind, Vriska. I am not sure how you managed to get in this time but you WILL stop. That is an order.

[You can hear grunts and growling from the journal as Equius tries to focus and block you out of his brain. Is it working?]

[It seems Kevas has a habit of finding children in the hallways, although this one doesn't seem nearly as well-mannered as Aht, and to make things even better it's another one of those trolls! Kevas does his best to contain his excitement.

Kevas arches an eyebrow at the grey child.]

Joo alright dere liddle mon?

[comment log]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[After that pleasant conversation with Sollux, Equius has decided that he must take Nepeta and get the hell out of here... And he supposes he'll bring Sollux with, as well. If he has to. Now it's just the matter of finding her.

Running into this...thing isn't going to help him reach his goal.]

What-

[Well, it's larger than him. But that hasn't stopped Equius from taking down a beast before! HANDS AT THE READY, MONSTER. WE FIGHT LIKE MEN.

Yes, Kevas. The much shorter and much angrier troll-kid has his fists up, ready to duke it out. He's even growling at you, showing his partially broken teeth. MAKE A MOVE.]

[comment log]

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[Fantastic, the little mon wants a fight. He can already tell dealing with this one is going to be so much fun. Kevas doesn't bother raising his fists. Instead he just fixes the little mon with a dark glare and points at him. He's in no mood for something like this.]

Liddle mon, joo calm joorself down right now. I be friends wid Sollux and Nepeta got dat?

[Sort of. Well he's friends with Nepeta anyway.]

[comment log]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[WHATEVER KEVAS, YOU'RE NOT MY DAD]

I will not be talked down to- Nepeta? Where is she- is she alright.

[His scowl breaks and a slight look of concern peeks through, only to quickly be covered back up in a glare.]

You are not going to defend yourself? Fight back!

[His fists are clenched and he's READY TO GO, KEVAS. They're lowered slightly as time passes, though. If Kevas seriously isn't going to put up a fight, Equius can't just lay the hurt on him. Besides, if he really is a friend of Nepeta, Equius knows too well how unhappy she gets when he tries to beat up her friends.

You're still getting a rather unhappy look though, so WATCH YOURSELF.]

[It is a thing, and it is gray.

This is the extent of Asuka's knowledge.

He knows there are a couple more of his type around the keep--hell, he's seen them around, even if he's never spoken to them--but now there is one of them in the hallways -coming right toward him-, making him stop short, and honestly? Asuka's just going to quirk an eyebrow, head tilting slightly.]

What're you?

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[More interruptions? Equius is running through the halls, looking for a familiar face when he sees Asuka standing there. You better think fast because Equius has changed his run into more of a charge as he gets ready to take this stranger head-on. He's movin' in quick, Asuka! No time for formalities when a BATTLE HAS BEGUN.]

[Commentlog]

[spellsdeadwrong.livejournal.com]

[...-oh-. That's not good. Asuka's face clears quickly, and he takes a step backwards into a defensive stance, raising both hands. His conversation with Rapunzel the other day is in the back of his mind, though; he hears her voice asking why so many people had to fight.

He doesn't want to fight if he can avoid it, but that doesn't mean he's not going to prepare for the worst.]

Hey, hold on a second. There's no need for fighting.

[Come on, listen to him... otherwise this is not going to be fun.]

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[HARRRGH- Come on, Asuka. These things aren't fun unless BOTH of us are charging at eachother.]

Are you one of the ones responsible for putting me here?

[He may be slowing down his advance, but his fists are still up and he's ready to PUNCH some FACE. What is this "No need for fighting" business? Unheard of. There is ALWAYS a need for fighting.]

[SHE KNOWS THAT VOICE]

:33 < H333333333333333333333!

:33 < equius come back!

[And just like that, she's scampering out of her room in search of him.]

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[And he knows that text! Well he would if he hadn't thrown the journal across his room in a fit of rage and stormed out.

He's near the end of his search, having had a few unpleasant conversations with other residents of the keep. He's still not any less full of rage, and is storming around the second floor. READY TO DUKE IT OUT WITH ANYONE HE SEES.

Poor troll is completely oblivious to anyone who may be scampering around on the lower level.

Occasionally she might hear a "NEPETA?" echoing down the halls.]

[Commentlog]

[purrtndyfuntms.livejournal.com]

[She can hear him yelling but so far it just sounds like it's coming from the end of the hall.

And all of a sudden, it's a game that they're playing, and she decides to sneak up on him. But first she has to bait the trap!]

I'm down here!

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[He pauses his huffing and puffing just long enough to hear the distant voice.]

Down where? Oh!

[Here are the stairs. And just like that, Equius is STRONG JUMPING down every step. Something's odd though, as it seems that jump did not gain nearly as much distance as it normally would have. This causes the troll to land on one of the last steps and CRASH down the remaining few in a clatter of anger and confusion.]

AAugh! I-I'm on my way, Nepeta! ...hhrgh...

[Getting himself back to his feet, the troll resumes his mad dash around the first floor now.]

[halfbrokenwings.livejournal.com]

[The bard was headed to her room. She had tried to ignore the tunes stuck in her head and could not any longer. She was determined to get it out into the air and to do that she needed her violin.

She was not expecting a door on the second floor to slam as she arrived on the landing.

Instead of traveling on she goes down the second floor hallway. There were only two people on the second floor that she knew well enough to know that the floor was where their rooms were.]

Sollux? Alex? Is everything alright?

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause as Equius stops for a moment to catch his breath when he hears someone's voice. On Isabella's end, she'll see a young looking troll quickly rush around a corner and glare at her though a pair of broken shades.]

Do not refer to me as that mustardblooded degenerate. Who are you?

[Equius is hunched over like an animal getting ready to charge down his prey, giving a rather menacing look. It's be rather intimidating if his height and age didn't make it hilarious or adorable.]

[Commentlog]

[halfbrokenwings.livejournal.com]

[The bard's eyes widened seeing a troll she didn't recognize at the other end of the hall. Before he spoke she was rather happy about it. It meant that Nepeta and Sollux were not the only ones left of their world.

When he spoke on the other hand, her attitude quickly changed. The feathers on her shoulders bristle. Isabella's lips purse and the much older woman is not pleased at all. Her ire is up. Degenerate?]

The only thing that is degenerate here, is your lack of manners.

[No. She was not pleased with this troll.]

I was not referring to you in the least. I was concerned for the people that I know.

[Read between the lines here: NOT YOU.]

My name is Isabella. Who are you?

[Commentlog]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

[Lack of manners? Equius? Not at all, PSH.]

I assure you, what you may view as a lack of proper etiquette is of the norm and encouraged from someone of such nobility. I would have no qualms with being courteous towards one of my caste, as rare as they may be.

[He straightens his back, crossing his arms as he speaks.]

My name is Equius Zahhak, and I am searching for my moirail.

[He glares at her, over his sunglasses. That last bit almost sounds as if he's expecting her to tell him where she is. It doesn't even occur to the troll that she might not know what a moirail is, or even know Nepeta.]
