[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.

Oh lord, you never actually met Eridan did you? He's got fins [She splayed them out over her ears with her hands.], yellow horns like lightning bolts, a purple streak in his hair, gills and gray skin, along with fangs... and claws... [She shuddered and suddenly smiled.

There was nothing innocent in that smile. She liked his claws.]

[kuramaless]

[He's not naive enough not to understand that there's something underneath that smile - but he's not quite able to connect the dots. Maybe because he doesn't want to.]

Don't think I did.

Sounds weird.

[samantha_grey]

Yeah. [Back to reality, Sam.] The trolls are all weird. They're each different. He and Feferi were both amphibious.

[kuramaless]

Like frogs?

[What is reality?]

I think I met one of 'em?

[samantha_grey]

More like lungfish. I wouldn't compare them to frogs.

What was their name?

[kuramaless]

Lungfish. That ain't a type of anythin'.

Uh.

Sultana?

[samantha_grey]

...Sultana? Wait, did she talk about fish puns all the time, speak oddly and get really arrogant with people?

And lungfish are real. They can crawl on land a little sometimes.

[kuramaless]

She? No I think it was a guy.

Wait-- it was a guy right?

[samantha_grey]

Gender's... a little weird with them. Let's leave it at that. Did you happen to see what color his irises were? They're the same color as their blood.

[kuramaless]

Er...

No?

[SO HELPFUL.]

It ain't important, right?

[samantha_grey]

well, there's only one of each color around, so I was going to use that to figure out who it was. Eh, it's no biggee.

[kuramaless]

Oh.

Didn't know that.

It was when the microwave blew up?

[samantha_grey]

Wait... Sollux. Do you mean Sollux, wheres blue and red glasses, tyes in yellow, complete asshole?

[kuramaless]

Er. Maybe?

[He really doesn't know.]

[samantha_grey]

Eh. If it's him, I know him. He's an ass.

[kuramaless]

He was kind of a jerk, yeah.

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, he's a good example of what they're like. A couple of them are more or less friendly, but he's an entitled schmuck.

[kuramaless]

Oh.

Guess I'll watch out then, yeah?

[samantha_grey]

heh, they're an acquired taste. I'll definitely say that.

[kuramaless]

Yeah, well-- if anyone's a pain I'll let 'em know-- troll dude or not, y'know?

[samantha_grey]

You're welcome to tell Eridan off all you want. Hell, you can kick his ass too, as long as you're not planning to pin him to a wall and kiss him at the same time. Keep it platon...

...

That sounds weird, doesn't it?

[kuramaless]

[He was actually nodding along with her--

At least until she started talking about kissing at which point he just ends up staring at her...]

... Why would--

Y'know what? I-- nevermind you know.

Who's Eridan anyway?

[samantha_grey]

The word for it is 'kismesis.' It's like a mix between a lover and a rival. We shout at each other, try to best each other and show each other up, and when the mood gets right, we slam each other to the wall and tear into each other.

He's a purple-streaked, lightning horned, finned and arrogant bastard... just the right kind of arrogant to keep me irritated constantly.

[kuramaless]

[.... Why does she have to describe his relationship with Sasuke and then add that on the end.

He didn't know there was a word for it, but apparently there is?

Trying not to think about the latter is surprisingly easy though, in both situations. Thinking about other people doing that kind of thing isn't something he wants to think about. Nope.]

Oh-- So, you guys aren't like... dating? Or-- are you? I mean you are right if you...

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, I know. It's confusing. Trolls have different kinds of romance. It gets really hard to follow. But yes, we're dating... well, hate dating.
