[ she doesn't know what's been wrong with him ever since she dragged him out of strela. all she knows is she doesn't like it. but she doesn't know how to fix it, and it feels too uncomfortable to ask him how he feels, is he okay, does he want to talk about it? it's like she's making a move on him, and she doesn't want that. like trying to pail someone that isn't even your matesprit. it's not right.

so she'll focus on something else. another important thing. ]

W)(ere's my apology? 38T

Thanks for the tip, I guess? [ He's kind of scratching his head a little at that. ] By the way, what's a chainsaw? It doesn't really sound like you'd want to be fucked with it. Yeah, uh. Could just be me though.

Ah -- [ well, he's kind of worried at that listless tone of writing and what eridan's saying. but eridan looks like the type to balk and bristle at any signs of overt concern. so soysauce is just going to settle for a cheerful, ] -- I hope you're faring alright, Eridan?

[ ...oh, is this a modification of Earth's language? Well, let's see if he can work it out. ]

that is good to knoww.

but I just so happen to think I wwill be able to find a wway to get us back to our proper places.

it's sort of my speciality.

wwhich one

[because he's sure that he has to apologize for strela, too, even though he keeps thinking it wasn't my fault! he'd nearly gotten her caught, either way.

he has a feeling she's talking about the other apology. he's not sure if he can do that yet.]

[SIGH] A chainsaww's a motor-run blade kinda thing. An' yeah, that's wwhy I picked it.

[Well, SOMEBODY understands this troll and his various habits of tsunderism]

Yeah, I'm fine I guess. [...suspicious!!!] Wwhy?

[WOW NO GET OUT]

wwoww no dont use my fuckin quirk thats all kinds a rude

an yeah sure its your specialty just like its the specialty a like evvery other person around here wwho thinks theyre the special chosen one

All of t)(em!

i dont

[she's telling you to do something.]

im sorry you had to risk your life to savve me from strela fef
again
like you didnt need to do that you shouldnt havve an im sorry i did that to you

an im sorry that i suck at apologies an i dont think i can givve you any more a them right noww evven though i knoww im supposed to

Oh... Thank you for the information...

[News flash: Terra doesn't know anything about space.]

...

..

.

But why would that turn us into paste?

That's actually something worth knowing. [ And he's totally serious about it. ] I don't really care too much about anything else everyone's said. There seems to be too many rules to follow.

You certainly have an original way of phrasing things, I'll give you that.

[ she almost snaps at him for not giving her the most important apology, the one she's been waiting for all this time, but his response... isn't indignant enough. if she pushes, he pushes back. she doesn't like it, but that's just how it is. how it normally is, anyway. and there's something else wrong with that last sentence. ]

"Supposed to"?
-Eridan, you apologize because you feel genuine remorse for w)(at you did and you want to express t)(at to t)(e ot)(er person!
You don't say sorry just because someone told you to do it! T)(at's totally insincere.

wwell youre the one wwho wwants me to apologize right noww

[she told you to do something. but he staunchly attempts to ignore that little nagging feeling in the back of his head. he's not going to get suckered into this. he's got his own deal and he is gonna stick with it, damn it.

(still. shouldn't you do as you're told?)]

if you wwant me to apologize right noww i wwill but i dont think itll be wwhat you wwant to hear or wwhat i need to say
so just tell me wwhat to do here fef
because i dont fuckin knoww

Yeah, evveryone's comin' up wwith all sorts'a fuckin' rules, but it comes dowwn to basically wwhat I said. Don't get lost, don't miss a jump, an' don't die. Pretty fuckin' simple, if you ask me.

Yeah, no problem.

-- Because'a the gravvitational force that'd be exerted on your fuckin' body, basically. Wwe hit jump, the g-force flattens you to a paste unless you're inside the gravv couches. That's just howw it is.

Edited 2012-08-12 08:52 (UTC)

Wwell yeah. In case you havven't noticed, I'm kinda a wwordsmith.

If you're not sorry, t)(en I don't want to )(ear it, du)(!
You can )(ave more time to t)(ink about it if you want, I was just c)(ecking to see )(ow it was glubbing along.

[ but... tell me wwhat to do here fef. something is definitely not right. how can she get to the bottom of this with the minimum amount of pale infidelity? ]

Is everyt)(ing alrig)(t?

[there's a bit of a pause between her text and his reply because... shit. he wants to tell her how weird he feels and how his room feels almost obscenely personalized and how there's this niggling little voice in the back of his head that just wants him to go with the flow, no matter if the flow is just doing what everyone else does or saying what fef wants to hear because she told him to.

but if he says any of that, she's going to think he's trying to wriggle his way back into the pale and while, sure, yeah, he wants that, he doesn't want to force it. which is a big step for him, at least. she already doesn't like him. he doesn't want to give her any more reason to continue not liking him.]

yeah
no
i dont knoww i guess its not important at least
im just still wwoozy or somethin from the wwhole strela thing

)(mm.
Maybe you s)(ould )(ead down to t)(e medbay and get a c)(eck-up?
I'm sure it wouldn't be a bot)(er. You could still be a bit green around t)(e gills after t)(at w)(ole awful mind violation room.

maybe
but i dont think theres anythin they can do its not like im sick or anythin
im just tryin to get my sea legs back after dealin wwith a particularly awwful shoreleavve

Sound advice. I especially like the "try not to die" suggestion.

You're crankier than usual, sir. [ Just a quiet observation, yup. ]

Maybe. Nothing's ever been simple for me when it comes to following someone else's rules. But I'll take that into consideration.

[ Don't mind him if he seems to be laughing. ]
