[Sam sounds a little on the uncomfortable side. She winces and grunts as she speaks into the bracelet receiver. There's a reedy laugh to her. She'd mention this to Feferi, but she got the impression that anything involving Sollux or Feferi was probably not something to push again, and Aradia was scarce as usual. So, why the hell not?]

Good news, Roxy. Not trying to punch the clown's lights out.
Debatable news. Found someone entirely new to hate on. Oh christ I'm going to wipe that look of smug satisfaction off his fin-headed face one of these days...

How've you been?

[tipsygnostalgia]

[She notices the strange tone, yet once she hears the entirety of the message she knows exactly who it is about.]

I've been good! Pretty great actually since people have been turning back up left right and center.

What did Eridan do? I mean there's probably a whole damn list of shit that he's done but what was it in particular?

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, I'd heard there'd been a few returns lately. Hadn't run into all of them, but I did see Rose was back.

What didn't he do. Oh god, he's a fucking train wreck. [You can practically hear her running her hand over her face, Roxy.] Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to have gotten romantic advice from him and then see him living like a tin-foil hatted bum in the library? And then he had the nerve to start telling me who I should and shouldn't be talking to, and started freaking the fuck out on me over my being a mage.

So I ended up going down to kick his mangy, purple-blooded ass back into gear... well, and one thing led to another, and I kind of missed with one of my headbutts and we both flipped out. I swear to god, he had better be worth this headache, because I am going to pound him into next week if he really is just a tin-foil hatter.

[tipsygnostalgia]

THat's his own fault cause he's too damn proud to ask for any help! I tried to tell him when he first got here but he weren't having none of it so whatever, he totally deserved to be sleeping in the library like a dirty hobo!

[Woah hold up] Did you like, accidentally smooch him or something?

[samantha_grey]

Hell right it's his fault, but I'm not taking that as an excuse. Bloody bastard has to be better than that, for all his bluster.

Errr... yeah, the first time anyway.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Uh well it depends on what you mean by 'being better'. He's more than just talk if that's what you're meaning. The reason most the trolls want nothing to do with him is 'cause he murdered a bunch of them.

...The first time? You mean there's been a second or third time too? [Kissing gossip, her fave~]

Sooo are you two like, datin' or something?

[samantha_grey]

It's not like I don't have my share of blood on my hands where I came from. Girl I... fuck if I know what we were back home, she was as bad as me sometimes. Bitch dragged me to hell one time to make a point about kissing her in a fight. So, if he's not all talk, good. If I'm going to be doing this thing, I don't want to deal with some spineless, craven cretin.

Well, there was a second, definitely. I don't know if I'd say the word's dating, but I'm sure as hell interested in seeing more of him, even if I do prefer the idea of him on his knees to jabbering away. He runs his mouth entirely too much.

[Pot? Meet Kettle.]

[tipsygnostalgia]

[Its ok Roxy knows all about pots and kettles]

Buuut~ you like each other right? Or not-like each other but in that way. maybe it'll do him good, this is like the fourth time I've seen Eridan show up here and he always seems to be on his own and not have friends every time. Kinda his own fault, but still.

[samantha_grey]

He is one of the most arrogant, egotistical, self-absorbed jackasses I have ever had the agonized displeasure to meet in my life. [In other words, she could not get the insufferable son of a bitch out of her head.] But I am not about to let him alone. Do you have any idea how much of an ass he'd make of himself if someone didn't give him something to focus his attention on?

So... yeah, I guess... that way. And yes, almost everything in his existence is his fault, including me. I don't plan on letting him forget it either.

[tipsygnostalgia]

I have a pretty good idea! But after a while their rudeness just becomes sooooort~ of cute in a way, don't you think?

Does this mean you're gonna try hate-dating him then? Like, you know what that involves and stuff right?

[samantha_grey]

[She was side-eyeing a little.] I get the general idea of it, yeah. It's like we're supposed to feed off of our mutual disgust for each other. Kind of like it's an extended argument, punctuated by slamming him against the nearest wall and rutting him senseless.

[she remembered Dusk a little and blushed.]

I think I can probably wing it, but you wouldn't happened to have heard any ideas on what he's going to expect, would you? There's a lot the same between them and my hell, despite what they think, but they still confuse me a lot.

[tipsygnostalgia]

...Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. I'm not sure what he thinks about it but~ I could always find out, you know. I mean we've had little chats about this sort of stuff before.

[samantha_grey]

You could do that, but don't you dare let him find out that's what you're doing. He's dense like concrete, but he's not a complete idiot, and I don't want him to think I'm not up to snuff.

[tipsygnostalgia]

I won't say anything, don't worry~ I was thinking about asking him something sorta similar anyways.

[samantha_grey]

Thanks. You thinking of finally trying something with golden-blood, or just trying to figure them out better?

[tipsygnostalgia]

I'm still mad he cut off some of my hair, I need to find something to really irritate him!

[So, yes.]

[samantha_grey]

hah, don't mention it's about golden boy unless you're really planning on giving him a once over. That punk really hates him. [If only Sollux knew that he'd been the topic that had started the floodgates of Eridan having a makeout session.]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Oh yeah I knew all about those issues, believe me. For all of my fucking about though with winding them up, that is what normal troll hate looks like though. As in "i actually wanna see you die" hates.

[samantha_grey]

I'm starting to catch on the difference. I've got a few people who seem to want to hop right into that territory with me at this rate, but nobody besides fin-rot that I'm interested in doing more than shutting up if you catch my drift. I got the impression those two just want to kill each other.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah. They've tried in the past too.

[There's a long pause, but since they're talking about this stuff...]

I think I totally have a crush on that stupid dope. I didn't at first though! I think the difference is that with most people you don't like, you forget about them once they're gone. But when you actively go out your way to see what they're up to or think up ways you can bug them..

[samantha_grey]

You talk about him almost as much as I'm starting to talk about fish rot with the amazing projectile wand of clattering. I mean, honestly, I kind of want to stalk him right now and figure out his brain so I know what the hell his dysfunction is, and oddly... I don't feel really creeped out saying that.

I almost feel like I should expect him to do the same, and if he doesn't, I might just beat him up for being lazy.

What changed your mind with him?

[tipsygnostalgia]

[Okay, she laughs at that]

I'll see what I can find out about him! He pretty much enjoys talking about himself anyways.

[samantha_grey]

...more like he never shuts up. People say I talk too much sometimes. Jeeze. Well, it's your ears, honestly. If you want to put up with his gabbing, I'm not one to comment on people's tastes. I'm... still getting used to the idea of even trying this.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Eridan's not that bad if you just.. okay he is that bad he's still interesting to talk to, plus I think I should at least give him a chance.

[samantha_grey]

Heh, if he wasn't that bad, I wouldn't want to wipe that look off his face so much, now would I? He is more than a little interesting, isn't he? It's... weird. But I'll deal, especially if this actually works with me. Don't know why, but not going to knock it if it does.
