[The return of the sequel!]

[superissues]

[Here's a smirk you haven't seen in a bit, Asgard. Kon's been working hard, getting himself organized -- and the fruits of his labour are about to mature.]

Hey, Asgard! It's me, your resident super guy and my happening room-mate, Roxy -- say hi to the nice people, Roxy.

[The feed is directed to focus on Roxy. She holds up a hand, giving an idle wave]

What's up my Asgardian fellows? The residents of the newly-named 'Super Science' apartment have got one totally great offer for you,valid only for the coolest of the cool, aka. those of you that are our friends!

[The feed gets somewhat jostled as Kon tries to scoot himself into view without taking the feed off of Roxy. Tricky, but you don't become a teen-sensation without learning a thing or two about cameras (the being able to float himself upside down into view helps too).]

Friends of friends are cool too. We're flexible like that. Anyway, to this once in a lifetime chance my partner in crime here alluded to. We're introducing tecnophobes and those from worlds without the joy of daytime TV and other cultural institutions the chance to view highly rated visual media in the presence of two entertainment pros. AKA, movie night at ours.

Right! And for your viewing pleasure we've already selected a bunch of really great classics, full of suspenseful storylines and enough eye candy your eyes are gonna go diabetic, like, that will be a thing that actually happens. So what do you say?

When and where my instructors in the glorious art of tube surfing? The paid housing in Baldr 104, no fashionably later than tonight at 7. Remember, Asgard. There is no fail -- there is only get the hell over here to watch greatness in DVD format.

[Roxy leans forward, giving the camera a peace sign and a quick wink.] Be there or be square!

Um, she's my room-mate? I'm right here.

Going out on a limb, it's not eviscerating me, then strangling me with my own intestines is it?

[fishdouche]

It's not as fun wwhen you guess.

[He's practically pouting now.]

[superissues]

My bad.

Look, get yourself over to ours and threaten me in person, and I'll try not to put you off game. Sound like a deal?

[fishdouche]

Acceptable.

[He shrugs.]

Only to keep Rox happy.

[superissues]

[For the record, Superboy has huge doubts about the veracity of that statement but he is not airing them at this particular instance.]

You're all heart.

[fishdouche]

[Eridan wrinkles his nose in disgust.]

No need to be fuckin' offensive now.

[superissues]

-- you pick the weirdest things to be offended over.

Really?

[fishdouche]

Trolls aren't like fuckin' humans. I don't slut around wwith my pale feelin's.

[superissues]

Okay, so you're aware that I have no idea that what I said would offend you, and rather than take steps to prevent this from happening, explain why you're mad, or even make sense, you're just going to get angry and insult a race you know I don't belong to?

[fishdouche]

[Why are you trying to be logical with Eridan Ampora, Kon? You should know better already.]

Because it should be apparent to anyone wwith a think pan as to wwhy I'd be offended by you accusin' me a' havvin' flushed feelin's for my moirail!

[He's already been down that road.]

I'm not fuckin' interested in Rox like that!

[superissues]

[Superboy is not the world's fastest learner unfortunately (that's Impulse).]

Okay, two things. One, and this is me levelling with you, but totally not as obvious as you seem to think. Not unless you're trying to tell me that you've got a bad case of the hershey squirts, in which case way, way, way TMI dude.

Two, you got to chill either your libido or your imagination. I have neither accused, insinuated or even referenced Roxy once this convo, save for the part where I pointed out I could hear you talking about me on account of being right next to her when you started your apparently private conversation.

/casually slips in

[tipsygnostalgia]

[Because she is still sat RIGHT THERE after all.]

Oh yeah! I should probably tell you that me and Eridan are moirails now? It's like a platonic thing, but for trolls it's a kind of romance so I guess you could say we're pale dating?

He's either offended 'cause the idea of mixing that with the normal love quadrant is a big no-no, or he's offended just because he is Eridan and Eridan likes to be offended at things.

don't you mean /casually never left?

[superissues]

Friends with no benefits? I guess that makes marginally more sense but I'm still confused as to how he managed to construe any kind of dating from me making a dig at his implied generosity -- oh, wait. Likes to be offended.

Okay, I'm good.

/yes

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah, pretty much! Involves lots of hugs and talking about feelings and stopping him from doing tons of retarded things to ruin everyone's lives.

[Oh Kon, just wait until the time she tells you she was gonna hate-date a guy.]

I think he's mad because of the heart thing and assumed you were implying he had other feelings for me since actually being sweet and caring to someone else is pretty much only done with the normal love quadrant since trolls are weird, and since he loved his old moirail and then she broke up with him so he's still kinda sore about that.

Also, likes to be mad. Yup.

[superissues]

You're gonna have your hands full on that front, huh.

[Wait until you hear about Knockout, Roxy. It'll be an ice-cream bonanza.]

That sounds suspiciously plausible. Well, Eridan? Is Roxy on the money?

[fishdouche]

... For the most part.

I'm ready for your fuckin' apology wwhenevver, peasant.

[superissues]

I'm sorry you got your balls out of joint because I said something you misinterpreted. I'll try to stick to simple sentences from now on.

[fishdouche]

Good. It might help you sound a bit less like a complete imbecile.

[fishdouche]

YOU told me that I wwas all fuckin' heart. The fuckin' symbol for matespritship--the closest relation wwould be lovvers in humanity's wweird monogamous system.

I am not fuckin' flushed for my moirail. I'vve already been dowwn that fuckin' awwful path a' sorroww an' blood-pusher rippin' out. Wwhat I feel for Rox is completely fuckin' pale! It's not the same.

[superissues]

The expression 'you're all heart'? Means 'you're generous.' No connotations of romance at all.

Do you know what generous means? Hint: it doesn't relate to sex, romance, or you banging Roxy.

[fishdouche]

I KNOWW WWHAT IT FUCKIN MEANS!

[He's a frothing little rage ball by now.]

You should be more culturally AWWARE you ignoramus! Hearts in my society are solely used as a expression a' pity an' matin' fondness!

[superissues]

Cultural awareness is a two-way street. You want me to understand, you got to explain.

Though, if you want me to listen to your explanations, you should probably get my species right.

[fishdouche]

Maybe you shouldn't look so fuckin' much like them if you don't wwant to get lumped in together.

[superissues]

And maybe you shouldn't make assumptions based on your incomplete knowledge of a species you're clearly unfamiliar with. How is this hard to grasp? Really, what part of this makes no sense? You got to make effort to get effort. Like, Newton's Third law of Motion but for people.

[fishdouche]

The part wwhere you don't understand that humanity's not wworth the fuckin' effort.
