I finally came to my conclusion of who should get the microwave from my previous entry. I believe that person's name is... Sollux?

[He's not entirely sure if he pronunced that properly or not, considering he heard it from Shalnark.]

So, if you're still interested, leave a reply. As for everyone else, sorry. First come, first serve.

[A small chuckle escapes him as he ends the recording.]

Comments

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Well that was odd. Given the last conversation, the chuckle at the end, and the fact that Sollux generally doesn't trust people...*

...What's the catch?

[dominateartimus]

What catch? I don't think I mentioned one.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

You asked about payment before. I still don't have anything.

[dominateartimus]

Well, I changed my mind.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Hm. This is the guy that assaulted Kloe and tried to restart the plague, right? (Or wtfever he was doing there.) So Sollux is more wary than usual, but...he still doesn't have a reason to believe that he can't take Sandy. Might as well go see what's up, especially if he gets something out it.*

...Alright, sure. Where do you want to meet?

[dominateartimus]

First floor of the barracks?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

That doesn't narrow it down too much, you want me to just wander around the halls until I see you or meet near an exit or what?

*Either way he's out of his room and on his way down from the second story.*

[dominateartimus]

The stairway works.

[He's on his way from the fourth floor with the microwave in tow.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

There are two stairways.

*Yes, Sand, you are being 'nice' and giving him a present for 'free,' and he's STILL being a bitch to you.*

I'll be at the one closer to the training yard.

[dominateartimus]

Then its settled. See you there.

unless Sandy 'ported or something, i guess.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Since he was only on the second floor, Sollux gets down to the first, uh, first. And waits next to the stairwell. So far everything seems tame enough.*

Or some time later

[dominateartimus]

[The fallen arch-angel didn't come down from the same stairs that Sollux did, but instead came walking down the hallway.]

Hello. Sollux, I presume?

[He tilted his head at the other's appearance. A bit of interest in his eyes as they flickered black for a split second.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux nods and turns his full attention to Sand. He notices the black eyes, but since he has no idea if that's normal or not he doesn't react.*

Yeah. And you're Sandrath.

*Which he's probably saying wrong, oh well.*

[dominateartimus]

Yes, I am.

[He moved the microwave in his arms and offered it to the troll.]

It might be a bit heavy.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux moves closer to take the microwave. He does physically take it out of Sand's arms, but uses his psionics (thus giving it a pulsating red and blue aura) to supplement that. He's not built for heavy lifting!*

Thanks, I guess.

[dominateartimus]

[He tilts his head at Sollux, examining him. His smile widens a bit.]

Those are some interesting sunglasses.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

Huh?

*Once he's got the microwave, Sollux looks back to San.*

Yeah. I like them.

*They match his eyes.*

[dominateartimus]

I can see that, why else would you wear them?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*This is an odd conversation.*

Yeah, pretty much.

*Sollux glances up the stairs and then back to San. Can he go now?*

[dominateartimus]

Well then, I won't keep you any longer. Bye.

[He turned on his heel and waved good bye as he walked.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux turns back towards the stairs then stops.*

You sure you don't want anything for this? No unnamed favours for later or any of that bullshit?

[dominateartimus]

I might change my mind again at a later date or forget we had this discussion.

[He gave a small shrug, pausing briefly in his steps.]

Unless you dislike being mislead?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

I hate being mislead. If you give this to me now it means you don't want anything in return, now or later.

[dominateartimus]

[He turns back around to face Sollux, debating if he should take it back or not. It doesn't take him long to turn away again.]

You can keep it, no strings attached. Have fun tinkering.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

Nn.

*That's a thank you, San. Really!
Once San starts moving, Sollux starts up the stairs. He has a few things in his room he can use to break this open~*

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel blinks at this post, having apparently missed the initial announcement.]

What is a... microwave?

[video]

[dominateartimus]

[He moves his journal to show off the microwave.]

This 'box' here. You put food inside, press a few buttons for how long you want to heat it for.

[video]

[bondedgryphon]

[She tilts her head curiously, her eyes wide and attentive.]

It is like a stone fire, then? But contained?

[Zhaneel understands Renaissance styled things, so ovens and tech are weiiiiiiird.]

[video]

[dominateartimus]

Pretty much, but it can't hurt you like the fire. Well, unless you grab the item you've been heating up.

[video]

[bondedgryphon]

[She looks both perplexed and fascinated by all of this.]

How extraordinary... I have never heard of such a thing. Is this normal where you are from? To cook in a box?

[video]

[dominateartimus]

Yep, its one of the various ways to cook.

[video]

[bondedgryphon]

[She shakes her head, boggling over this.]

How utterly curious... I have cooked over an open fire before and coals, but never in such a manner as that.

[Humans are so fascinating!]

[video]

[dominateartimus]

Technology has a tendency to improve the 'old ways' to do things.

[video]

[bondedgryphon]

We did not have this... technology... where I came from. So many things are odd or new to me while others are like familiar faces.

[video]

[dominateartimus]

I figured as much from your questions.
