> FEFERI: Sneak past Captor’s room in the wee hours of the morning.
You hover around the entrance to the guest bedroom, hemming and hawing on going in or not. After pressing one large, magenta-tinted ear to the door and hearing nothing, you very carefully push it open to find…
Nothing.
Captor was nowhere to be found. His luggage gone and the bed haphazardly made too for that matter.
…..
> JUST AS PLANNED.
You let out a sleepy yawn and stretch your arms high above your head. And as you exit and quietly shut the door behind you, you can’t help but grin and let out a soft giggle.
Those idiots.
As least you had confidence they’d be better and happier with each other now at least.
[[ lahhh <3
[[ Dave and Captor are chill and sharing music on my Dash this is a good joyful thing to see before I head off
[[ also skdfjnsk was happy to play Fefe again. I. I realized how much I missed her. ;u;
[[ okayyy PASSING OUT TIMES, tomorrow gothbro and I will post photos from the Ren Faire OKAY LATER <3
>Knock on door
>Listen to Captor.
You do so, taking in his words along with the frustrated tone in his voice, mulling them over together. And well, all together, all mulled like that—-it was becoming an idiot cider that had clearly been through the press one too many times until it was practically apple juice piss.
CC: Okay.
CC: You want to know w)(at I t)(ink?
You reach over to where Captor was laying in front of you and give him a quick bop on the head.
CC: I T)(INK YOU’RE BOTH B——EING DUMB-BASS—-ESS!!! 3BT!! DRIFTWOOD YA STOP B—EING SUC)( A PROUD, FI—-ERY GEMINI FOR TWO CODDAMN SECONDS.
CC: Like, okay, I can understand being angry at Dave for running away and being so mot)(erglubbing vague about )(is location, t)(at SUCKERFIS)(—ED, but cod, don’t you remember all t)(at W—-EIRD STUFF T)(AT WAS )(APPENING? All t)(at stuff in t)(e apartment? I saw it too!
CC: Maybe Dave went away to make t)(e apartment better, to make t)(ings safer, I don’t know… I can’t be certain but I REEL-Y DOUBT )(e meant to )(urt you, I mean, )(e considers you one of )(is moirails after all.
CC: Because if bad stuff IS )(appening, moirails s)(ouldn’t be doubting eac)( other like t)(is, moirails need to be sticking toget)(er.
As if to emphasize this, you puff up your cheeks and flair your ear-fins out in huffiness.
VS: AUGH
VS: ii know ii fuckiing know ii feel liike a fuckiing diickhole already
It takes a lot of self control not to just curl in on yourself as you listen to Feferi’s words.
VS: iit2 not liike iit2 a new thiing anyway weve been fiightiing about 2hiit for month2 now fef and iit2 ju2t gettiing wor2e ii cant

CC: Well you obviously seem kind of torn up about it rig)(t now, )(u)(? To me t)(at’s a PR——ETTY CL—-EAR SIGN T)(AT despite your anger and stuff, and t)(e stubbornness between you two, I t)(ink you’d feel pretty dissatisfied and disappointed if you, you know, completely let go. 38T
Your tone softens.
CC: You two )(ave ALWAYS bickered—-yea)( okay, it’s been worse lately, but so )(as t)(e w)(ole situation, w)(at wit)( all t)(e weird stuff going on. ….I genuinely believe t)(at if bot)( of you swallow your pride and reconcile, maybe find a solution so you can watc)( over )(im more, and vice-versa, you guys will be able to get past t)(is and be fine. 38,)
You stand up, rolling the bottom of your bare foot playfully over his back.
CC: No need to take action tonight. Rest up, t)(ink it over, feel better. But just please, consider w)(at I’m saying Captor.
CC: Despite t)(is roug)( patc)( rig)(t now, I can’t imagine EIT)(ER of you would be truly )(appy leaving off like t)(is.
You offer him one of your brightest, reassuring smiles.

Business-Fefe has for you your cup of idiot cider.
DRINK UP, DUMB-BASSES.
>Knock on door
CC: Well, just considering )(e was t)(e one you’ve been so worried about recently…and t)(en all t)(at weird stuff going on t)(at )(appened rig)(t before I left…
You give him a considering look, tilting your head to one side in thought.
CC: Did you two )(ave a fig)(t w)(en )(e got back or somet)(ing..? I’m sorry, Captor..
You lay on the floor, feeling slightly defeated. You were selfish and stupid and you knew it, the more you rationally thought about it.
VS: fef he diidnt even get home before ii piicked a fiight wiith hiim
VS: the 2hiithead wa2 ju2t gone 2o long ii 2tarted two… ii ju2t dont know alriight

>Knock on door
>Damn she’s good at this.
Before you can answer her first question she’s gone and said that one stupid name. You swallow hard and put the cereal down because shit does your mouth feel very suddenly dry.
VS: yeah ii2 iit really that obviiou2 tho
VS: found out he came back twoniight two
CC: Well, just considering )(e was t)(e one you’ve been so worried about recently…and t)(en all t)(at weird stuff going on t)(at )(appened rig)(t before I left…

(via 2tiitch2nake)
>Knock on door
At the sound of the knock, you almost bounce from the kitchen [your demeanor at odds with your serious business attire], opening the door and putting on a large smile for the other troll.
CC: )(I CAPTOR, okay, glad you made it. 38,)
> Ask him if he’s alright.
No, no, no——obviously he’s not, or he wouldn’t be here, that’s a stupid question and Captor hates obvious questions like that; so you resist, biting your tongue. Instead, you reach for his bags, shoving the whole box of Lucky Charms into the producer’s arms to occupy him as you make way to tromp upstairs with his things.
CC: OKAY, so I’ll s)(ow you w)(ere your room is, and you TOTALLY )(AVE FR—-E—-E R—-EIGN OF T)(E )(OUSE SO F——E—EL FREE, AND )(ELP YOURSELF TO W)(ATEVER FOOD YOU SEA T)(AT YOU’D LIK—E, T)(ERE’S PLENTY, sea-riously, you’re welcome to w)(atever you—-I GOT IT, I got it, PL—-EASE, I’m fine! 38,)
You almost embaressedly try to usher a maid away who went to take Captor’s bags from you, yourself insisting that you can handle things yourself. And you CAN handle things yourself. You just wished it wasn’t always such a pain in the bass trying to prove that to everyone else.
Once you reach his room, you flop his stuff on his bed with a mighty “oomph!” and a rather unladylike heaving throw.
CC: Glub, glub, T)(ERE!
After the flurry of activity you just kind of stand there holding the box of lucky charms.
You feel very awkward in such a large space so you just…
…sit down in the middle of the floor and start eating right from the box. You non-conformist, you. There are some moments of conflict with the cereal but you soon forget about them.
> BE FUTURE FEFERI.
You do a quick clothing change, returning back to Captor’s room after letting your hair down and putting on a more casual outfit of a tanktop and jean shorts with knee-high socks, your kandi bracelets once again restored to their rightful place as well.
CC: T)(ere, muc)( better—-sorry about t)(at, but formal clot)(es always make me feel so stuffy..
You flop on the floor on your belly, facing him, your chin propped up in your hands as you gently kick your feet back and forth in the air.
CC: So…care to tell me w)(at’s going on?
CC: Alt)(oug)(, if you want to lay down and )(ave privacy to rest, I can understand t)(at. You look mot)(erglubbing tired. 38(
You pause, looking down at your wrist and quietly slide beads two by two along the cord they were tied to before looking back up.
CC: Dave? 38T

>Knock on door
It’s a pretty big door and it takes you two tries to knock as loudly as you’d like.
For some reason you really hate big houses. You kind of glare at it as if it is a personal affront to you.
At the sound of the knock, you almost bounce from the kitchen [your demeanor at odds with your serious business attire], opening the door and putting on a large smile for the other troll.
CC: )(I CAPTOR, okay, glad you made it. 38,)

CC: Glub, glub, T)(ERE!
> FEFERI: Prepare for your guest.
Your humble home is…far from humble to say the least, the lavish mansion you live in more like an estate than anything else. But you hope to yourself as you check the wifi signal in the guest room you were preparing for him [all bars! P—ERF—-ECT! He’ll like that for his electronics! 38)] that Captor would at least be able to make himself as home as much as he could, whatever his situation was. Your intuition told you this most likely had to do with one of two things; either Captor’s twin Sollux, or his moirail, Dave. Both would be a tricky situation…so for now, you decide to honor his request about not talking about it. Just make sure he was settled for the time being.
Still in your business attire from your trip [a lady’s blouse and pinstriped pencil-skirt, unruly wild hair twisted into a bun—-your usual kandi adorned arms and neck uncharacteristically devoid of such jewelry], you head downstairs to the kitchen, rummaging for cereal while keeping a feathery-finned ear perked for the doorbell.
