Kanaya wasn't sure at first if she was going to come out to the observatory this month. The imprisonment of the erstwhile welcome tent manager puts a bit of a damper on the event. Footage from the recently frozen Earth, however, compels her physical presence. And the tablet tells her there is an interpersonal reason to attend as well, with a new name in its directory. Though it's an old moniker, used before more than once, isn't that just all the rage these days? She puts on her old default outfit underneath an unbuttoned black coat, wanting to be recognizable, and her jade eyeshadow, wanting to feel presentable.

When she enters the observatory she stays near a wall to avoid impeding any of the new arrivals - of course, thanks to the identity of the troll she's seeking, there is no aberration in the sea of original flavor Swedish fish to guide her to him. The walls, at least, are home to the fenestrated planes, and eventually she glimpses a patch of gray skin between all the old and new bodies. Aha! It could belong to someone else but that's incredibly unlikely... In all this commotion, nobody will notice a misspoken call. She'll take the risk of attempting to get his attention.

"Hey, Karkat." She is trying to greet him with a bright raised voice instead of just a bright raised hand, and scores about three out of ten points for pity and effort.
