Who| Kankri Vantas & OPEN
What| Settling in, meeting new people
Where| District 5 apartments at first, then generally exploring around the Tributes' area
When| Just after his arrival, some days after Enjolras' crowning
Warnings/Notes| Warning for Kankri being his annoying self, pretty much. Also, his first chronological threads will be with Claudia and the Initiate, but beyond that timing will pretty much be in the order of tagging.

Really, Kankri found the entire concept of this place absolutely deplorable. He would have no part of it. But until he could find some way to escape his captors, it wouldn't hurt to familiarize himself with the layout of the place. And also to find something to eat, he was quite famished at the moment.

He started in the suite of the district he'd been assigned and herded to like cattle, of course, but soon enough he was meandering all through the building, taking note of its occupants and features with various degrees of disapproval. He wasn't entirely sure of how to approach anyone yet, but he supposed it wouldn't hurt to try for the sake of information.

She's so cavalier, she has to be related to Latula. Perhaps the theory of ancestors wasn't so superstitious after all. She's got the same kind of that self-assurance he admires so much about his friend.

"Well," he says awkwardly, "if it helps, two of my other friends are deaf and mute, so it would be feasible." How does he do joke???

Terezi is simultaneously disappointed and amused by his response. On one hand, he's not nearly as appalled by this revelation as she would have hoped. On the other hand, he's proposing a completion of her quartet, and she loves a person who can join in on her joke.

"I'll have to meet them, you know. To assess their level of disability. Only the most functionally disabled would be allowed to join our group. They would also have to pass standard levels of coolness. We're going to be the best of the best, after all!"

"Well, I do like to think the best of my friends," he says, a touch shyly. "But I wouldn't wish for any of them to come here, honestly. They don't deserve that. I've heard you, ah, Alternians are perhaps a bit different, but Beforus is a peaceful world. My friends...they wouldn't do well here."

Welp, he went and made it all serious and himself sad. Oops.

It's not hard to notice the sadness in his tone when he says that, but Terezi doesn't really know how to draw him out of it. She's only just met him.

"I don't know. Meenah probably would. She seemed feisty to me." Terezi grins and shrugs at that, enjoying her little namedrop--one of the few she actually knows. "I bet she could impale someone from several yards away."
