[The image is a somewhat rare sight. Samantha is seated behind a worktable. There are a series of beakers in front of her and she seems to have something or another bubbling in a larger one of them. She takes a whiff of it and nodded in satisfaction before shifting to the side and looking at the camera.

Did she have a sort of smirk on her face?]

So, here I am working on magical defenses against the rigors of making certain fish-brained, fin-rotted, purple-obsessed morons look like chumps, and I was almost curious if they were making any progress with their "White Sciences" [Yes, she actually made the quote signs with her fingers as she said that, snickering.] in preparing my ultimate downfall. I mean, it isn't as if they don't prattle about all the ways they're going to have me at their mercy, and I was honest to god wondering if all of that was just a bunch of hot air.

...this is Eridan Ampora. What the hell am I talking about? Of course anything Captain Ahab's said's all hot air.

[Another snicker. Anyone who knew Samantha very well might recognize that some of it was effected bravado. She was still struggling with what her feelings were about him, but these little games were much easier to play on the network, and part of her had a feeling he'd get a kick out of shouting back at her.]

But, since I was thinking about it, I got to thinking some more. What really are the differences between magic and science? It's not like I haven't talked with a few of you about this, and I know what a certain moron thinks on the subject, but all the same with the power turned back on through the runes so to speak and with us able to affix just a little bit of the power of this world into a potion, I was wondering what some of you might have thought was the difference.

Oh, and Ahab, I am expecting great things out of you. Just so you know. Don't think I'm sitting idle over at the shop all the time.

Please be careful. There are many dangerous people here. I don't know what I'd do if you were hurt.

Hah! Oh god, Ritsu, you have no idea what I'm doing, do you?

Not a clue!

I'm getting the attention of the guy I'm involved with. Trolls are just odd. We're... more rivals than we are anything else. So I'm trying to get fin-rot's attention.

Trolls?

... Those mythical creatures that live under bridges?

You seen any gray-skinned people with yellow horns on their heads, fangs, claws, sometimes obsessed with one color over all others? There's a few of them running around here.

Different sorts of trolls.

That sort of sounds like cosplay... but real! My goodness.

[ritsu dude you are friends with a succubus, limit your disbelief.]

Yeah, my little moron has gills and fins too, complete with purple blood too.

You meet the most interesting people, Miss Samantha.

Interesting. Yeah, that's definitely one way to describe Eridan. I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like him honestly.

I'm sure that whatever happens, you'll be okay. I'm just worrying over nothing, like always.

Well... trust me. It's not all roses. We've still got a lot of issues.

[Not the least of which was her other half.]

... I don't suppose there's anything I can do?

Oh god no, you're fine. Don't worry about it. We'll get it figured out, promise.

If you say so.

Let me just say this, trying to get in a relationship with a troll's complicated. Trust me.

... Miss Samantha is in love?!

I...

I'm not quite sure how to answer that. I really am not. I mean, there's days I hate his filthy guts, and there's days I just want to hear him growling with my fingers wrapped around his gilled throat.

Sometimes I really want to kiss him.

Most days both.

It's weird.

[Nope, he doesn't get it. he tilts his head, trying to figure it out. He's kind of reminded of Kyo and Tohru... maybe something like that?]

Well... whatever it is... as long as you're happy, then I am too, and I'm sure it must be right!

Yeah, I really am kind of happy most days. Confused a lot, and not really sure how to go about this, but I'm happy most of the time.

Hurray for Miss Samantha's happiness!

You are such a silly little man sometimes. You really are. [She sighs a little and laughs.]

You been alright otherwise?

I'm sorry for being so silly!

There, there's the requisite apology. I was waiting to hear one of those.

I'm sorry for not apologizing sooner!
