[Dying was an interesting experience. It was disappointing to wake up and find that everything still sucks forever, though.

So he's sulking and eating at the kitchen counter. He's got a bowl in front of him and is picking pieces of...something out. It stains his fingers red, but he doesn't seem to notice, nor does he notice that his device has turned on where it's sitting to one side on the counter.]

[Sollux knew those chopsticks were useful for fuckall. Suddenly it occurs to him--]

Dude are you blind? [Cuz that's totally cool to just straight up and ask.]

[seekingsanity]

No. Not blind.

[aquarium_tipper]

Yeah, O-kay. [Which is the sound of disbelief, but he's not gonna pry. Just forever think that Fuminori is such a chick that he can't catch a cheap pair of wooden sticks.]

[seekingsanity]

I don't see things the way they are. I can't always tell what I'm looking at.

[aquarium_tipper]

Huh. Yeah I guethh you were eating like you knew what wath going on. Congrath, you've got that down.

[seekingsanity]

You're pretty condescending.

[aquarium_tipper]

Eh heh heh. You'll be very thad tu know what wath probably the motht thinthere thing I've thaid yet.

[seekingsanity]

That is disappointing, I guess. [He doesn't sound that disappointed, really. Just tired maybe?]

[aquarium_tipper]

You're a really pathhive dude. The fuck ith up with that?

[seekingsanity]

[Considering Sollux's general attitude, Fuminori decides to go with the honest answer.]

The less I argue with people the less I have to talk to them.

[aquarium_tipper]

That theemth like one of thothe thingth that would work better in theory than in practithe.

[seekingsanity]

I'm increasingly finding that it is.

[aquarium_tipper]

At thith moment or in general?

[seekingsanity]

Since I arrived here.

[aquarium_tipper]

[He laughs in between a few spoonfuls of food.]

Thee, thath where being aggrethhive cometh in ath utheful.

[seekingsanity]

How is that?

[aquarium_tipper]

Becauthe being able tu control the converthation meanth you can end that thhit when you want. And the thecond party can thuck it.

[seekingsanity]

Walking away does that, too.

[aquarium_tipper]

[Laugh.] And you jutht accuthed me of being a thocial douche.

[seekingsanity]

I never said I wasn't.

[aquarium_tipper]

Yeth but your inability tu go all human bridethilla invalidath it like outdated thoftware.

[seekingsanity]

It's a refusal more than an inability.

[aquarium_tipper]

Tho you thay, but it ith tu late and your oh tho valient argument will not budge my already contheived opinion of you.

[seekingsanity]

Which is that I'm too passive and eat with my hands?

[aquarium_tipper]

Urr. Yeah, thure. We will thay that ith eckthactly the opinion I have, for the thake of thimplithity.

Thpoiler, I totally lied about having the whole opinion thing.
