[ Nest-building is a tedious but necessary business. Once he's settled in enough not the jump at the mere sight of a human being, Asato claims an empty apartment room as his own, furnishing it to his preference. It's not a huge territory; he would feel downright wrong claiming anything large. Even enough resources to sustain him are counted as a

[Karkat hadn't been happy to finally get back to his pile of random shit to see that his computer had been taken. Although it is essentially useless now, that doesn't mean he wants people taking his stuff. So he sets off on a journey to find it, somewhat randomly stumbling upon Asato.]

Hey you. Nooksniffer. Have you seen my husktop around here somewhere?

[walksonrooftops]

How can you even talk to people with that?

[He hesitantly reaches in to press a key, but nothing happens.]

[inflictedknight]

I don't now. It's broken. All the husktops are broken.

[walksonrooftops]

[His brows furrow a bit.]

That's a lot of anger over something that's broken...

[inflictedknight]

You'd be fucking angry too if you couldn't talk to your 'friends' suddenly!

[walksonrooftops]

You can't find your friends?

[inflictedknight]

I found a few of them. Gamzee... looks like a stupid clown. Kanaya wears a skirt. Terezi has red glasses. Have you seen any other trolls besides that?

[walksonrooftops]

I haven't seen any yet, other than you.

[inflictedknight]

We beat up one of the locals for information, and then something weird happened to us all. So we scattered.

[walksonrooftops]

No, I haven't seen anyone else like...what did you call it? Trolls? Yeah.

[inflictedknight]

Could you... keep an eye out for them? It's kind of important.

[walksonrooftops]

[He nods. It's the least he can do to make up for running off with something that belonged to Karkat.]

They look like you?

[inflictedknight]

Pretty much. I mean, gray skinned and horns. You couldn't mistake us for humans.

[walksonrooftops]

[After a moment's hesitation, he nods again. If there were humans here, then maybe the presence of other creatures would be feasible too.]

I will look.

[inflictedknight]

You don't have to, y'know. Fucking go out of your way. If you just see any. Send them my way. Or tell them that Karkat, Gamzee, Kanaya, and Terezi are looking for them. If you can remember.

[walksonrooftops]

Karkat...Gamzee...Kanaya...Terezi. Got it.
