(no subject)

Character(s): Sollux Captor and some White SeeD.

Location: Woods just outside of Timber.

Rating: PG for possible swearing, but not much else.

Open/Closed/Finished: Closed.

Summary: Sollux gets picked up after a post-dimensional travel panic attack.

He'd run as soon as he'd realized where he was - which was anywhere but his respiteblock on Karkat's ship. He'd gone to sleep with Karkat at his side, but upon waking he'd found himself in a foreign city, surrounded by a species of alien he'd never heard of let alone seen in person. It didn't make any sense. Where had the rest of the crew gone? Where was Aradia? Why had he been left alone here?

He didn't take the locals trying to approach him very well. His first instinct was to attack, and despite not being sure that was the right decision, god, it would have been the easy thing. Thankfully, it was hard to corner someone that could fly, and before any of them had gotten close enough that he felt compelled to hurt them he'd escaped into the air and headed straight for city limits. The further away he could get from the natives, the better. He needed some space to think, to clear his head.

That was more difficult than he'd have liked, most days.

He'd found some woodland not far from the city, and that was where he finally landed. Even the flora looked different, and the vertigo of his displacement had thoroughly shaken him. There was so much noise in his head, so many conflicting, screaming demands that he could hardly move, let alone think. He stumbled into one of the trees and stayed there, sinking down to the ground and trying desperately to get his head together. Where were the others? What had happened to him? Had any of what he'd just experienced been real in the first place?

His method of psionic flight wasn't very subtle. The aliens had probably seen which direction he'd gone, which probably meant he'd be pursued. Most other species didn't like trolls, and with good reason. He knew he needed to think about how to defend himself, how to find the others, how to get out of this situation. But he couldn't. He couldn't even bring himself to get up.

"It is a school-- a military academy, to be exact. You will be provided room and board and will enroll into the classes Balamb Garden provides and train as a cadet to become part of SeeD, an elite mercenary force. Others like you have enrolled into the school as well."

Apologies for the delay!

"You do have a choice." It was true; there was no way that the SeeDs could stop him from taking the other option. "Though, we must insist that enrolling into the school is the safest option. The SeeDs there can protect you. The natives here are not kind to those they are unfamiliar with."
