samantha_greyAn 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.

Date: 2012-12-20 01:06 am (UTC)[Really, that's a dumb question.]
You and your quadrantmate don't have to like or hate the same people. What the hell would give you that--
[Wait.]
--You're dating a troll.
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-20 01:14 am (UTC)That would qualify as the "No Shit Sherlock" moment in this conversation, Karkat. [Completely wooden delivery.] Nobody would give a rat's ass otherwise unless they were trying to decipher the web of "Fuck Yous" that they sometimes give each other.
...and if they were trying, I'd call them an idiot.
So, yeah. I'm seeing one of them, and I'm trying to figure out how to talk to some of them when we usually get along, as long as the subject of my kismesis doesn't come up.
[The way she said that word didn't sound quite right. She wasn't used to it. She used the word because it was what she thought Eridan wanted used. It suited their crap, kind of, but she knew for a fact that she barely understood it.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-20 01:18 am (UTC)[He rolled his eyes, taking a steeper drink of his water before firmly planting it on the table.]
Just don't talk about your fucking kismesis then. It's that easy. Or if you do, let them be pissed off about it. It shouldn't matter to you either way!
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-20 01:23 am (UTC)Doesn't work that simply. They tend to bring El Douchebag Presidente when other things come up. Like, when Fef disappeared, it came up. It's made things awkward, and I'm not sure if I've just stepped in it with him, or if there's a way to fix this.
I'd be fine never mentioning it to the crazy bastard, but... I don't think either of them's able to let it go, and it keeps dragging me in.
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-27 02:59 am (UTC)Oh god.
Based on what she's saying, it's pretty obvious who she's talking about.]
First of all, you have terrible taste in lovers. Just letting you know that right now. I bet you get it a lot, but whatever. You're getting it again.
Next, it isn't your problem! The next time they try to drag you into it, just say you'll have none of it. If they bring it up, tell 'em you're not having that conversation. If they keep nagging you about it, tell them to shut the fuck up.
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-27 03:12 am (UTC)...
I'll try that with Sollux next time, though I don't know how well that's actually going to work with him.
Re: [ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-27 07:02 am (UTC)And so is Eridan.
So good luck with both of them I guess. I can't really defend either of them on this one.
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-28 04:41 am (UTC)Those... were some unpleasant talks king douche and I had.
[She sighed and reached up to grip her forehead, rubbing it.]
I'll figure something out, now that Fef's back, but I'm going to take my time with it. God. I'm just waiting for someone to flip out on me for being in a relationship in the first place.
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-30 06:39 am (UTC)[A pause.]
...in a way that isn't their own damn problem, then why not keep it up?
[ACTION]
Date: 2012-12-30 07:49 am (UTC)[She grunted and reached her head up to her forehead while she took another drink and made a face at the liquid inside.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 02:24 am (UTC)[He takes a few gulps this time.]
Is that it then?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 02:29 am (UTC)Yeah, probably, unless you have any tips I should know about on troll-human stuff. Normal relationships are hard as is.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 02:35 am (UTC)Well.
I can't really tell you from experience but from what I've seen the trickiest part is dealing with the fact that humans only have the one quadrant. Might make it difficult for a troll to feel emotionally fulfilled, at least from a common sense standpoint.
But hey, whatever works works. I've given up on bitching about it. Humans and trolls are different, and it looks like the best way to make it work is compromise.
Then again, I guess that's true no matter what, so whatever. Old news.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 02:40 am (UTC)[She grunted and downed the rest of her drink in a gulp that resulted in sputttering and coughing gags, eyes bulging. Oh god, that had been a terrible idea, such a terrible idea. That was not meant for gulping. After a second, she calmed and closed her eyes.]
I'm not getting in the way of two of his quadrants. It's just... the Red. If it doesn't work so easy, I'll have to work on my jealousy or we'll figure something out.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 03:03 am (UTC)To be honest I've never met a troll that didn't date a human exclusively. I think that says a lot about how far human-troll relationships can really go.
Then again, it's a pretty new concept. Still don't think it's what's best, but whatever. A lot of bad ideas end up working out.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 03:09 am (UTC)Still, thanks. I'll try not to get this one to bite you in the ass.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 03:12 am (UTC)[Aaaand he's done with his drink.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 03:35 am (UTC)If you need potions sometime, stop by. I'm working on my stock, but what I've got is useful.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-04 03:46 am (UTC)[He got up and headed for the door, pausing a moment before leaving.]
I'll get back to you about those questions. I'm sure I'm gonna need them eventually.
