[OOC: Sollux is hiding in an alley in the Underground. If you communicate with him (I recommend voice, and he'll find the voice function of his own network communicator once he realizes it might exist) he can give you details to find him. And then we can go to action spam in the comments, I guess? You're also welcome to go straight to action if you want to stumble over him directly.]

[Guess who perked up at the mention of the H word?]

Horrorterror, you say? Would you happen to know anything more about this lusus?

Well. If I remember correctly, John was supposed to ensure that Jade's kernelsprite was prototyped with something relatively innocuous. Then he fell asleep at a rather unfortunate time and suddenly Becquerel happened.

[Oh man, not another one.] I've never see it. I hear it was huge and tentacled and lived under the ocean. I think Eridan spent most of his time just keeping it fed, and when it died it gave a shout so loud it killed all the low bloods and pretty much everyone else. Killed me, right before I was going to get into the medium, and ff had to come get me and sacrifice one of my dream selves.

...He fell asleep? What's wrong with that kid?

Oh? It sounds fascinating. Dangerous, of course, but what would one expect from the zoologically dubious.

I'm still trying to puzzle that one out. I admit I was somewhat distracted at the time but I will get to the bottom of what happened eventually.

[thekidsare0kay]

What is it with some girls and tentacles?

Hmm... No clue. Seems like a weird thing to happen.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs] I'm sure I could reveal all manner of reasons as to what, indeed, it is with some girls and tentacles but I fear to do so would be to reveal more of myself than I would prefer.

It does, rather. And becomes rather frustrating when all the boys are taking naps right when you need to speak to them.

[thekidsare0kay]

Oh? What is there some deep philosophical reason?

I bet. But that other girl, Jade, she was always sleeping, wasn't she?

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Probably. But then you could say that of most things.

She does seem to sleep more often than anyone else I know, yes.

[thekidsare0kay]

I could?

It's pretty weird.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Maybe not you personally. I meant that in more of a generic sense.

It has struck me as unusual but I had never considered it to be anything other than normal for her. Jade being unusual is not exactly a rarity, and I say that with the greatest affection for her.
