I dunno. He was talking to me about human psychology the whole time.

[timelymaid]

Really? Well, he is related to Rose and Dave. Anyway, he's from four hundred years in their future - well, Jane and Jake's future, more specifically - so I should think the things he taught himself are pretty advanced.

[viiru2alert]

He's related to Dave? I would have never known.

[timelymaid]

Have you filled your sarcasm quotient for this conversation yet?

[ no, it's never filled. you know that. ]

[viiru2alert]

No. It's only half full.

[timelymaid]

Did that remark fill it higher?

[viiru2alert]

...You underestimate the sheer scope and girth of my snark gauge.

Only barely.

[And for the record, this isn't snark. It's just bullshitting.]

[timelymaid]

Not really. You're the snarkiest person I know!

And considering the people I know, that's saying something.

[viiru2alert]

I can't be the snarkiest.

[timelymaid]

Do you think Karkat's snarkier, then?

[viiru2alert]

...

[He takes a moment to consider this.]

I think we're about the same level, I'm just more upfront about it. KK talks and talks and talks and doesn't end up getting more snarking done than I do.

[timelymaid]

He does talk a lot.

[viiru2alert]

I never understood the true beauty of silence until I met KK, at which point I never experienced it again.

[timelymaid]

[ A snort of laughter. ]

Neither of us experienced silence until we got here. [ If the meaning wasn't clear, she taps a finger to one of her ears. ]

[viiru2alert]

Yeah.

[He closes his eyes for a second. The moment he realized that he only had to listen to his own thoughts in the human body was more or less one of the high points of his life. ...And then a second later, it's gone and he's back to looking indifferent towards the world, which is admittedly a step up from the miserable state of mind he came out here in.]

Wanna go grab a drink or something? I haven't eaten yet and I'm hungry as fuck.

[timelymaid]

[ Sollux there was an entire kitchen full of snacks at the party and Aradia is side-eyeing you so hard, but yeah, she'll smile and nod. ]

Absolutely! And by "or something" you mean "food that is not junk food" because you're going to eat some fruit or vegetables and something substantial. [ Changing directions to head towards where eating places with be - wow they really ditched the party there, whoops. Later on she'll apologize to everyone. ]

[viiru2alert]

...Where are you going? I was headed back inside.

[He raises an eyebrow, smirking. Okay, all things considered, he could forgive her for assuming he wanted to ditch. That was what he had been bellyaching about for this entire time. But to be honest, the food in there is free, and that alone is enough to make him go back.]

[timelymaid]

[ Aaaaaand her smile brightens. Socializing! ]

Seriously? You're not completely done with the party yet?

[ Changing directions again, and this time she'll drag him along faster. ]

[viiru2alert]

Not completely done, no.

[Wow, dragging, okay. He'll just follow along behind her. If she wants to think he's doing this to be social, okay, she can keep thinking that; he's not going to correct her.]

[timelymaid]

You're still eating something substantial, though! Not just candy and cookies.

[ Because apparently she's playing lusus, who knows. ]

[viiru2alert]

Goddamnit.

[Because apparently he was hoping to distract her with happiness so he could grab more unhealthy junk.]

Okay, Megidomom, what should I eat?

[timelymaid]

[ Nice try, Captor. Well, she'll give you time to take off your coat, but then they're on the way to the kitchen. ]

I knew it! Sollux, you really have to eat better. Look, I'll make you a sandwich, and there's a vegetable platter, so you're definitely having some of those. [ AND YOU WILL LIKE - well okay he might not like it but it's good for him so there. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux takes a carrot off the platter and stuffs it in his mouth.] There. Now I've had some. Carry on.

[timelymaid]

"One" is not equivalent to "some"!

[ So you'd better rethink that while she gets started putting together a plate that is Megido Approved. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Nom.]

There.

I'm not going above two.
