[Snow. Fucking snow. It's cold and drippy and Sollux hates it with the ferocity of a thousand green suns, though really, that's how he feels about most aspects of the winter season. So, wearing a red and blue sweater that he got from Kanaya (underneath one extremely thick coat), there's a severely miffed-looking guy walking up next to Dirk now. He seems to be watching the carnage in absolute disinterest, and eventually decides that even talking to some random person with stupid glasses is better than watching this embarrassment to mankind.]

How long have they been going at this?

[shippingmath]

At least an hour.

[Dirk got dragged into it himself, at one point, but he didn't stay in for long enough to get completely covered in snow and soaked. It's only entertaining for so long.]

i'm sorry for the late tag u_u

[viiru2alert]

Pretty fuckin' juvenile. [He cracks his knuckles; not out of any desire to join the fray, of course, but because they were getting kind of cold out here. Even beneath Vanitas' awesome new gloves.] They'd better come inside soon, or someone's gonna freeze his ass off and give everyone else a cold.

It's fine! I'm tagging slowly myself, oops.

[shippingmath]

It's winter. That's practically a requirement, as far as I'm aware.

[He doesn't sound particularly enthusiastic about that, though.]

[viiru2alert]

I wouldn't know. Our winters consisted of maybe a five-degree drop in temperature, so it went from 'hell pit' to merely 'furnace'. [Shrug.]

[shippingmath]

Lucky you. I'd say I'm envious, but we're both stuck here now so I won't bother.

[viiru2alert]

I liked it more than the weather here, that's for sure. All the seasons are too cold.

[Even at night, it was way warmer back in his corner of Alternia. That's probably why he spent so much time lounging around in Olivine, come to think of it.]

[shippingmath]

So you've been here since summer. How cold is too cold then?

[viiru2alert]

Summer is your warmest month, right?

[shippingmath]

Summer is the warmest season. It lasts for a span of several months.

[viiru2alert]

Whatever. Those months were way on the far end of what I would tolerate normally.

But I guess I've just got to keep wearing jackets in the middle of summer.

[shippingmath]

Or, here's a truly radical suggestion, you might attempt this thing known as adapting.

[viiru2alert]

Bodies are going to do that one way or another.

[shippingmath]

Mentally, you have to adjust too. If you keep telling yourself it's way too cold, you'll feel way too cold.

[viiru2alert]

I'll stop telling myself it's way too cold when I don't wake up with my ass frozen off.

...Who nominated you official junior psychologist, anyhow?

[shippingmath]

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious tool, me. I've had years to study this shit.

[viiru2alert]

Why'd you have so much free time?

[shippingmath]

Because I didn't have school, or schoolfeeding, or any of that shit. Everything I learned I had to find out on my own.

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux smirks underneath the high collar of his jacket.]

I wouldn't mind that.

[shippingmath]

Eh. It's not bad.

[viiru2alert]

Never said it was. Schoolfeeding ended a few sweeps ago for me, but nothing of value was ever gained. [He cracked his knuckles.] So, what else did you teach yourself?

[shippingmath]

Whatever shit I could. Robots, mostly. History, some. Had to teach myself to swim, that was a thrill and a half. Swordfighting. Things like that.

[viiru2alert]

Now I feel inferior. All I ever learned was hacking.

[shippingmath]

Hacking's pretty damn cool. You get plenty of kudos for that, dude.

[viiru2alert]

Hmph. [Still, Sollux sounds a bit amused as he says this.] Well, it makes for a steady job as a Center technician, I guess. You got anything to do around here, or is it just fighting people for money?
