Once some of you fresh meat are finished freaking the fuck out and actually work towards getting settled into your environments...

Here is a golden opportunity, so open your auricular sponge clots and listen up. I have some eggs that I need to get rid of. Twenty fucking seven eggs, in fact. There's a variety and what doesn't get taken by some happy new partner slash owner gets set free into the wilds to defend itself.

[ not really. he'll ship the remaining eggs to the day care or something. there's still plenty there to snatch up! ]

So don't let them get eaten by wild Sneasels! Just fucking take them! One of the Axew eggs is for the oddly named human Hiccup.

Otherwise? I've got nothing. I do want to ask if anyone has any leads on what the fuck happened the last week, but I'm doubtful that anyone really knows who was behind that shit.

I wonder how long these effects are going to stick around.

I was directly responsible for at least one.

action

[usedshooshpap]

It was your powers, but it wasn't your will. I don't think that counts.

action

[viiru2alert]

It does count. If I wasn't there she would have been perfectly fine.

action

[usedshooshpap]

That's not true and you know it. If you weren't being used, then someone else would have been.

action

[viiru2alert]

[UGH, LOGIC.]

...What's happening with the quadrants?

action

[usedshooshpap]

Going to defy logic now, aren't you?

[ snorts, but whatever. he'll respect that this time. ]

Besides the fact that I can't seem to really want someone in just one of them like some desperate fool?

action

[viiru2alert]

I'm teaching by example. You're gonna ask from advice from me, something will go terribly wrong, and then you'll figure out that my advice is always worth shit. It's perfectly logical.

[Pause.]

...Don't humans only have one quadrant?

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ rolls eyes. ]

Yes, Sollux. Humans only have one.

action

[viiru2alert]

So if you want whoever in all of your quadrants, it just means that the human part of your brain is being an asshole and wants you to get in the one human quadrant with them.

[He is sooooo knowledgable on the subject of human psychology, clearly.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Not my pale quadrant, though. For some reason or another, I am perfectly fucking content with Gamzee as my palebro.

But... This isn't a problem just as a human here, fuckwit. I realized this back on the meteor.

action

[viiru2alert]

[...Oh.]

Who with on the meteor?

action

[usedshooshpap]

Give you two guesses and the first one doesn't count...

action

[viiru2alert]

...Ah, fuck.

[What does he say other than that? IT'S A REALLY FUCKING WEIRD THOUGHT PROCESS, to have someone in every quadrant at once... but he's not laughing, see? See the lack of mirth on his face right now? See it? See? See?]

Does the new person know about quadrants?

action

[usedshooshpap]

...I was actually talking about Terezi. Way to jump to somewhat accurate conclusions anyway.

[ Karkat rubs his neck a little awkwardly. HE APPRECIATES IT SOLLUX, REALLY. please don't make him feel like an even bigger freak. ]

When I was out in that memory coma, I put that shit together. Pondering over what I could have possibly done to fuck myself over concerning her. And now that I'm back here with that epiphany? I know the symptoms and I want to kick myself in the goddamn teeth for it.

action

[viiru2alert]

Maybe you should just... [wow this sounds stupid...] ...try it.

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ Sollux should see that Karkat's about to retaliate with a biting remark, expecting an insult.

which isn't at all what he got. Karkat now carries a 'bwah?' expression instead. ]

Try it?

action

[viiru2alert]

[Give him some credit here, okay? He's not that much of an asshole with this subject matter.]

I dunno.

See what happens?

[That's kind of what he did.]

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ now that Karkat thinks about it... it *would* be easier for a human to accept it than a troll would. augh... this is what all of that frantic, panicking thinking gets him. Karkat huffs, ruffling his own hair. is that really okay though? ]

Even though it's only been about two months since Eridan? Isn't that moving too fucking fast?

[ of all things to worry about... then there's this: ]

But the guy is also as emotionally in tune with himself as a fucking wiggler of two sweeps! He doesn't even know what a "crush" really means!

action

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux's head snaps to Karkat, but shoves back the comment he has on that particular sentence when he continues to speak. No, Captor, shut up. Not the time.]

That's... going to be awkward.

But I guess if you really want to get it done...

action

[usedshooshpap]

If I really want to get it done...

[ explain that to him, Sollux. you know he isn't really capable of manipulating people. can't just take advantage of a guy's feelings, after all. ]

action

[viiru2alert]

You know. Teach him. See if he can figure out if he reciprocates or not.

[Why is he still awkward talking about this...]

action

[usedshooshpap]

Oh... I don't really think reciprocation of feelings is the problem. Do you?

[ Sollux should know that from first hand experience by now. ]

But wouldn't teaching him be the same as taking advantage of the situation?

action

[viiru2alert]

No, but... fuck. Never mind! I don't know.

If you don't want to be the one to 'take advantage' of him, have fun waiting the four sweeps or whatever until he learns about it on his own time!

action

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat quirks his lips. here comes the friendly 'thanks for trying' teasing. ]

Not even the great Sollux Captor has an answer for everything. Maybe the world is doomed.

action

[viiru2alert]

You've only just figured that out now?
