[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

[samantha_grey]

Heh. I'll remember that if I ever cook for you one of these days. How're you with spices by the way?

[Someone had a penchant for ghost chilli peppers...]

[zodiacal]

Ugh, pass. Medium hot sauce's as far as I get.

[She likes her mouth relatively unhurt, thank you very much...]

[samantha_grey]

mmm, maybe we'll just let you do the cooking if one of us ever cooks. That might be best. Let's just say I like Thai and Indian cooking for a reason.

[expy]

Ew. Remind me to keep you as far away from the condiments as humanly possible.

[samantha_grey]

If all you're using is the medium sauce, you're safe just keeping the garlic and onion salt away from me. I go crazy with garlic.

[zodiacal]

Garlic. [Repeating, slowly. Deadpan.] What are you trying to do? Kill someone?

[samantha_grey]

Well, I'm sort of used to extremes. My body used to handle a lot worse than a little garlic. Spices, alcohol, poisons, heat, cold. I guess I'm just used to the taste of things that make other peoples' eyes water a little. Ramen's ok, though.

And this isn't bad... just a little bland. Pepperoni the best part.

[zodiacal]

Your taste's messed up. [Also not quite what she meant by killing someone, but she's not going to delve into that particular subject.]

Ever considered ripping your tongue out and replacing it? I think your life could improve tenfold.

[samantha_grey]

Hehe, why don't you try making me something that isn't bland I could really sink my teeth into? We could call that a compromise.

And yeah, my taste's always had a debatable side, in a few ways.

[zodiacal]

If that something involves raw meat or burnt toast, I think I might kick you out of your own house. I've seen enough incubi "delicacies" [actual airquotes] for one year, thanks.

[samantha_grey]

...

I'm not actually that depraved. I do like my meat rare, but not like that, thank you very much. [She took a sip and stuffed a slice into her mouth, opting not to mention the 'other half' on this one.]

[expy]

Hey, what can I say? Humans like their raw meat, too. [Eve, sushi does not count as the kind of raw meat you're implying.......

But, taking a sip herself.]

You didn't deny the burnt toast.

[samantha_grey]

Eh. I don't mind a little char, but I like to be able to taste my food, not ash. There's no point in that. All the spice in the world's no good if it's charcoal.

[expy]

So no burnt toast with eggs?

[samantha_grey]

How about just toast with eggs. Maybe a little butter and plenty of pepper.

[zodiacal]

Hey, I never said what kind of eggs they were.

[samantha_grey]

... no, no you really didn't. Do I dare ask? It's not like I've ever had a wyvern's eggs, after all.

[zodiacal]

One, no idea what a wyvern is. Two, I didn't want to know what kind of eggs they were-- but they were huge, rotten, and apparently delicious when slurped with a slice of freshly burnt toast.

[Well. Thinking about this seems to have zero effect on her appetite, since she goes ahead and bites down on a new slice of pizza.]

[samantha_grey]

Think like a dragon, only smaller and kinda half bird instead of all lizard. nastier temper, more like an animal than an intelligent, thinking thing. Usually had a scorpion's tail too.

...

You ate one of those eggs, though? And you complain about the sulfur. heh.

Day 209

[needsmoregreen]

So...how did you and Eridan meet up again?

Day 209

[samantha_grey]

Heh, someone's curious.

Over the network, at first. But we really didn't talk until I ran out of options on getting help. That clown Gamzee nearly killed me with his club one night and I flew off the handle over the network. I kind of found out that I might have been flirting with him.

It turned into this whole stink about troll romances. I was ... still am really nervous about being in a relationship. I ended up asking Eridan for help figuring it out.

Day 209

[needsmoregreen]

[Giggle] You can't blame me for wanting to know and if it's a story like that, well, I just got to know!

[But as she listened, it's clear that she's pretty shocked] A-A what? A clown almost killed you?! That must have been really scary!

...

But I guess at least you found out you really like...hate him though...so that's still good?

[She was going to comment on the nervous about being in a relationship part but that's for another time]

Day 209

[samantha_grey]

Yeah. Gamzee's not always safe, if you ever run into him, though he's been quiet the second time he came here.

But no, Eridan and I didn't figure out we were interested in each other for like, almost a month. We kind of went back and forth. He just opened the door by helping explain this sort of thing. I don't know that I'd have ever thought of it if I hadn't gotten his help dealing with Gamzee, or that damned clown hadn't ever gotten me so pissed off.

Day 209

[needsmoregreen]

Okay then! [Now she looks determined!] I'll be sure to keep an eye on this Gamzee! Be careful around him and be sure to see if he's harming other people too!

...Even if he is a clown and likes to make people laugh! There's no excuse for harming people like that!

A month hm? [Doesn't this sound familiar?] Then, it sounds like Gamzee helped too...even if it was rather sad like that.

Day 209

[samantha_grey]

Try not to worry about him too much. I found out I'd been egging him on a lot. Trolls are very strange, and he's stranger and more dangerous than most. Like you said, though, that one did help me end up finding Eridan. Wonder what he'd say if he knew.

Wouldn't say it was sad though. He just wanged me upside the head like a freight train is all.
