[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.]

Too much information!!

[Another laugh, this one louder but more tired somehow] Jegus you are gullible. Or stupid. Not sure which.

[HAPPY TO BE OF SERVICE BRO]

Other way around. You're the idiot who clearly tangled with something you shouldn't have.

Re: audio

[thekidsare0kay]

Hey, fuck you, buddy. [He sounds honestly angry now] The flippered asshole got lucky, that's all! You don't know what you're talking about.

You were trounced by a fish?

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

...An aquatic troll named Eridan. Also known as a royal pain in my ass.

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

....Oh. I think he was here once. He had a really stupid accent.

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

[Wry snicker] That's the guy. Desperate piece of shit.

[Wait.] What do you mean he was here once? What happened to him?

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

Desperate, huh?

Went home, I guess. It happens a lot, but you can't predict when.

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah, I'm surprised you talked to him long enough to hear his accent and he didn't hit on you.

...Really? Oh, huh. Well, good. Anyway, he's dead now, and nothing of value was lost.

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

.........I only talked to him once. Lucky.

Was that your parting gift to him?

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

Sadly, no. I was still unconscious when it went down. And now I'm stuck here.

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

There are worse places to be stuck. If you ignore the creeps and the weirdos.

Who are you?

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

Hm.

I'm Sollux Captor. You?

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

Fran.

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

Good to meet you, I guess.

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

Try not to die. You're more tolerable than a lot of jerks around here. The text is pretty bad, though.

audio --> text --> audio

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah well, it could be worse. I decided to give up my old quirk pretty recently.

2o ii could 2tiill have been talkiing two you liike thii2

But I'm okay with not doing that anymore.

audio

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

Do you have a doubles fetish or something?

audio

[thekidsare0kay]

I used to have a real thing for duality. A bit of an obsession, really. It's sort of complicated. But I've decided to give it up.

[audio]

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

Why?

[audio]

[thekidsare0kay]

[He thinks about that for a bit. It's not that he doesn't know, he's just trying to figure out how much to say, and how to say it in a way that might make sense]

I just don't feel like duality is so much of a part of me, now that my eyes are gone, and the visions they gave me.

[audio]

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

[visions in your eyes makes complete sense. yes.]

You had voodoo eyes?

Re: [audio]

[thekidsare0kay]

[What are you talking about no one could have guessed that shut up]

What are voodoo eyes?

[audio]

[knifecushion.livejournal.com]

[THAT'S LIKE SAYING, HEY GUESS WHAT. I CAN SEE STUFF. OUT OF MY EYES. I KNOW RIGHT, IT'S AMAZING.]

You tell me.
