[thegrubwvholivwed]

vwell, it's obvwious vwhy you picked me ovwer the others, i'm just that avwesome. i mean, vwho vwouldn't vwant royalty on their team? not that that's evwen a thing, of course. it's just cool that i'm here, and that you picked me, it's all vwery cool.

...you're not going to just let me rot up here, are you? i mean, i'm vway cooler than that handsome vwhite-haired human muse that you're so infatuated vwith. if he gets to be in a game, i should be too, right?

af;lsdfjdasf /flails/ i'm sorry about this guy

[thegrubwvholivwed]

vwoah. you're... vwowv, you look just like mituna, if he vwould take off that stupid helmet of his for once.

[And he's just gonna kind of... sidle a little bit closer to Sollux, grinning around his cigarette.]

hey, i just said that vwasn't evwen a thing, didn't i? i don't havwe any kind of vweird prejudices about bloodcolor, i'm friends vwith a yellowblood just like you.

[Aaaand he's going to reach out to try and touch Sollux's arm. If he's allowed to get that far, he'll give it a gentle little creepy friendly squeeze.]

Pfhahaha no worries bro, I love Cronus.

[iiknowallofthecode2]

[He'd have to admit, it was weird to see someone with similar qualities to THAT grubsucking asshole almost being friendly. ...Too friendly. Whoa, way too friendly who even gave you permission to come that close, bro. Personal fucking space all up in this bitch.]

mo2t of you hiighblooded 2hiit2taiin2 DO have a prejudiice agaiin2t lower blood2 2o iim 2O 2orry priince22 iif iim jumpiing to any 2ort of conclu2iion over here. [He doesn't sound sorry. Quite the opposite, really, smacking the cigarette-toting seadweller's hand away from his arm.]

watch iit, ii dont care iif ii look liike one of your 2hitty friiend2, you dont ju2t put your hand on 2omeone you ju2t fuckiing met. are you delayed or 2omethiing?

awesome :|d

[thegrubwvholivwed]

[He pulls back, shaking his hand as if it hurts (it doesn't), looking injured.]

vwhat vwas that for? i'm just trying to be friendly here, it's not a big deal or anything.

[Fine, whatever, he'll keep his hands to himself. For now.]

you're pretty rude. most people would be happy to havwe me evwen talk to them.

[Spoilers: no they wouldn't.]

[meanerpeixes]

lettin you rot is aboat the best thing your mun cod do p much
p shore there aint no games who need a humankin creeper like you botherin everyone

[thegrubwvholivwed]

meenah, howv could you evwen say that. i thought wve wvere friends.
i don't bother people, and that's exactly vwhy i'd be such a great fit in one of these games. i get humans, i understand them. i'd really like to get to knowv them better, and putting me in a game is the best vway to do that.

[meanerpeixes]

delusional as ever i sea
closer guess at whats gonna go down
youll show up actin like youre the king salmon of whatever ponds unlucky enough to catch you
get all pally with how you think humans are
then theyll laugh at you for gettin it so wrong and tell you to quit bein such a pretentious douchefin

[pherocious]

You better phucking believe it bub!! I'm being shaphted out in phavor of a rustbleeding runt over here!!! Humans are stupid as hell and terrible at making team choices!

[thegrubwvholivwed]

[Oh hey, another royal troll! Not... that that matters...

...have a big grin in your direction anyway.]

hey, havwe vwe met before? you seem really familiar.

[...oh yeah, he should probably actually reply to what was said.]

humans aren't so bad. i kind of like them, you knowv? though i'vwe nevwer really met one.

[Apparently muns don't count.]

[pherocious]

I don't remember you iph we did. I been running in circles with airbreathers like cluckbeasts with our heads cut oph phor too long, it's a disgrace.

[ She just radiates indignation, not seeming to notice. ]

I don't see what's so great about humans, they're giving the rusty too many ideas. Iph they ruin him I'm going to be. So. Pissed.

[ From that tone it seems like she'd almost enjoy it. Someone is not a stabilizing factor here. ]

[johngaius]

[thegrubwvholivwed]

[ Eridan tugs his cape a little tighter around his shoulders, lower lip twitching. ]

Here, Cronus, have your first human.

[chekhovs_gunman]

[ There's a lot that's strange about this guy. The gray skin, the horns, the fins.

But there's one thing in particular that kind of just... irks him. ]

Do you plan on actually lighting that thing?

[ He nods at the completely pristine and unsinged cigarette dangling between Cronus' sharp teeth. ]

:o

[thegrubwvholivwed]

...vwoah. vwoah, you are, aren't you?

[He's grinning at you, Lyle, showing off his race's very sharp teeth. Run.]

you're a... human, right? oh vwowv.

Re: :o

[chekhovs_gunman]

[ He's not running yet, but he is just going to. Take a subtle step backwards. Because my, what big teeth you have grandma.

To say nothing of the odd enthusiasm. ]

That's what my birth certificate says. Haven't had reason to doubt it yet.

[ He fishes a cigarette of his own out of his pocket. It's more to give him something to do with his hands than anything, since he's having to curb the urge to fidget around this guy. ]

Are you saying you're not? Because I'd been under the impression you were just kicking Halloween off a few days early.

[teacuptarget]

Don't you dare say bad things about the white-haired guy!

What was the rule about crossing the streams?

[thegrubwvholivwed]

[Another human! Except his joy is tainted by the fact that this one seems mad at him.]

vwhat?

i don't knowv vwhat you're talking about, human. i nevwer said anything bad about anyone, just ask... anyone.

[Plz don't ask anyone, Gau.]

Re: What was the rule about crossing the streams?

[teacuptarget]

You're not cooler than him!

[But he seems to waver a little, because he supposed 'I'm cooler than' wasn't exactly an insult. And he had called him handsome. So.]

You should be more respectful of your elders.
