No, I just told him I needed him to make you a weapon. That's all, it wasn't even anythin' close to an order.

...I guess you might be right, though. Maybe. He seemed a little happier with me after a bit. [once he stopped telling him what to do and actually used his manners, of course. but cause and effect mean nothing to Eridan.]

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Eridan, I am pretty glubbing sure telling someone they need to do something is an order.

I bet he is! I told him you were pretty cool you know.

[caligulasaqua]

But he was offerin' to make weapons, I just told him I needed one too. I don't see what the big deal is.

...You really told him that?

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

What if you were offering to help and someone ordered you around, hm? You'd get so steamed.

Duh! You should come meet Eddie properly sometime Eridan, he's great and you're great, it'd be great!

[caligulasaqua]

But I didn't order him, I just told him I needed one for you. Because he was offerin'. He was the one who got all rude about it.

You really think he'd wanna meet me?

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Ok, what did you glub exactly? Did you say please?

Of course, why wouldn't he? If you're polite that is.

[caligulasaqua]

Of course I did. Eventually.

I dunno, I still don't really get humans. They're fuckin' weird.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I bet you said please all grudgingly.

They're not too weird! Well ok, sometimes they are, I'm getting kind of used to it though. It's been so long, you know?

[caligulasaqua]

...No I didn't. Shut up. I know how to be polite and civil when I wanna be. I'm real good at it.

I don't see how you can get used to it, they're still fuckin' weird and they don't understand most've the things I talk to them about. They're always askin' me what I mean and shit, it's annoyin' to have to explain things to them.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Uh huh- [she teases- wait, riling him up is probably not the best plan. Darn] Anyway you can prove it when you come over and see him again!

It's fun to teach them that stuff! I mean it can be pretty annoying sometimes too I guess, explaining rom is such a pain. Especially blackrom, I still don't think I get it. [she pauses] But learning about humans is pretty cool! Come on, it's a little interesting, right?

[caligulasaqua]

...Fine. If you really think I should, I don't see the big deal about meetin' him.

It's not interestin' at all, it fuckin' sucks. They're just not worth learnin' about and I don't like explainin' things to all of them so I hate them.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Because he's important to me! So is Sasha- and you are very important to me so that basically makes it all very important!

Oh glub, come on! A lot of them turned into trolls that week too, I bet they'll know better now.

[caligulasaqua]

I've already met Sasha, he's not too bad. I guess I don't mind really meetin' Eddie, too. But only if you're sure.

Well. I guess that's true. Maybe they'll be less annoyin' now that they know.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

I'm sure- it'll be great, you'll see!

Well do you know more about humans now that you were one for a week?

[caligulasaqua]

Fine, then. But you've got to stay when I meet him, I'm not doin' it by myself.

...I guess so. Not that it really matters.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

I will, I will! Or else you'll carp, I know.

It does! You're so glubbing lucky, it must have been pretty cool. Humans are funny like that.

[caligulasaqua]

No I won't.

And it wasn't lucky, it was stupid. And I didn't learn a thing about them I didn't already know.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

What about human romance? It has to make more sense, right?

[caligulasaqua]

It already made sense, it just sucked. And it still sucks.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Carp, carp- I don't get it I guess. It seems nicer sometimes I think, easier or something.

[caligulasaqua]

It's only easier 'cause you're only dealin' with one quadrant. And 'cause you don't always feel like you hate everyone.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever hated anyone like that anyway. [she pauses] Well... Aradia used to get me pretty steamed. She didn't care about anyone and just- it doesn't matter I guess!

[caligulasaqua]

...Seriously? I thought you weren't ready for blackrom or whatever.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

I didn't think so either! She just got me so mad sometimes, she never listened and she never tried to understand anyone and she hurt people without even thinking about what she was glubbing... she was so great when she was alive that week though.

[she frowns.] Blackrom is hard.

[caligulasaqua]

All romance is hard. But blackrom's not that hard, not once you get it figured out.
