Characters: Sollux and YOU!
Setting: The dormitory levels, but if you want to meet up with him somewhere else that's OK, too.
Format: Whatever you like
Summary: Sollux is out and about, looking for love in all the wrong places.
Warnings: Inappropriateness

He didn't notice the hand until it reached out of the bookshelf and clawed at his arm. But the moment he turned to see it, he fell in love. He reaches out, crooning, and takes the hand in his own. It scrabbles at his skin, tugging, and he pets its arm lovingly.

"Hey there...Come on out? Come on, there'th got to be more of you, hmm? I won't bite...much..."

Terezi is wandering the dormitory, because she hasn't seen Sollux in a few days and she's started to get worried. When she finally sees him, she sighs in relief--he's in one piece, at least, and petting a...

What is that?

"Sollux? What are you doing?"

[thekidsare0kay]

Huh? [Sollux turns, holding to his new friend and scoring himself a scratch to the forearm in the process] Oh hey, TZ. Thith ith my new friend, uh... he hathn't given me hith name yet, but we're jutht getting acquainted.

[scalemate]

[JUDGING SO HARD. She reaches for his other hand to tug him away.]

Sollux, that's a monster.

[thekidsare0kay]

Wow, way to give him a chanthe! [He resists the pull, irritated] Look, I know you're thuppothed to be judging my love life, but you don't have to do thith!

[scalemate]

[W h a t...

She doesn't let go of his hand.]

He just scratched your arm up, stupid!

[thekidsare0kay]

It wath an akthident! [He strokes the creature's arm, and it flails at him, grabbing his shirt and dragging him closer]

[scalemate]

[Terezi digs in her heels, pulling back.]

Sollux, stop it!

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux curses and reluctantly releases the hand, letting Terezi drag him away, but it still has hold of his shirt]

What'th wrong!?

[scalemate]

[THAT'S RIGHT YOU'D BETTER LISTEN TO YOUR MOIRAIL. She lifts her cane in her free hand, trying to bat the monster off of Sollux.]

You're petting a monster!

[thekidsare0kay]

Hey, thtop it! [He tries to grab the cane] You're hurting him!

[finallycowboys]

[Attack first, questions later. That's how he usually did things. When Henry sees an arm clawing at a small boy-like figure with horns, his instincts kick in and his saber is out. In a flash of light before Sollux can even blink, he slices at the hand!]

Bloody hell, watch yourself, lad.

[thekidsare0kay]

[Okay what the ever loving fuck!?

Sollux looks in horror as the hand of his beloved is cloven from its body, and then drops the still-twitching hand as he turns to glare at the strange human he's never seen before in his life]

What the fuck did you do that for, athhhole?

[He rips off his glasses and blasts eye lasers straight at Henry]

[finallycowboys]

[oh 2hit.

Er, shit. He doesn't expect THAT of all reactions, but once those lasers are speeding towards him, his saber is up, light clashing against light. Sparks fly everywhere as he struggles to hold against the violent force.]

It was clawing your arm to ribbons! You're welcome, by the way! [Then with a grunt, he swings his sword down and quickly side steps. Then raises it up again to shield himself from the next blast if it ever comes.]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux expected to see a smoking stain where the man was, not for his lasers to be deflected. He squares off in front of Henry and snarls, baring his teeth]

You killed my future matethprit!

[finallycowboys]

[Not taking his eyes off the boy(?) or letting his guard down, he keeps a steady stance. At the strange vocabulary, he gives him a confused look.]

If that means "beast that will stand over your mangled corpse, having itself a good laugh, then feast on your flesh", then yes. You're correct. Besides, I only cut off its arm. Can't be dead... [then he adds with a small shrug:] ...yet.

[thekidsare0kay]

Maybe the arm wath the whole thing! [The stump's disappeared now, back into the wall, but Sollux doesn't look. He's still squared off against Henry, growling like a dog] And it meanth...boyfriend! To a human, anyway. What giveth you the right? We could have been happy together!

[finallycowboys]

[Henry tries not to snort unattractively, he really does! The kid looks so distressed and angry over something that looked about two seconds from ripping his arm right off.

There's a lot of information to take in here, what with the whole not-being-human thing, the laser eyes, etc. But he takes it all in stride. Gotta keep his cool, like usual.]

I apologize if I ruined such a beautiful union of alien and monster, but I believe my assumptions were correct. [Briefly eyes the angry scratches on Sollux's arm.]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux looks down at the scratches and rubs away a bit of yellow blood, sighing. He growls a bit]

I guethh it wath an underthtandable mithunderthtanding.

[finallycowboys]

[He almost feels bad. Almost.]

Glad we got that sorted out, then. Can I trust you not to blast me again with your...optical rays or whatever?

[verymuchalive]

Aradia was hoping she could spend the day with Sollux; what she hadn't banked on was that there would be a rogue arm involved. She makes her way over, figuring anything she could do to attack right now would be too risky with Sollux so close.

"Sollux? What're you doing?"

[thekidsare0kay]

"Huh?" Oh shit! He blushes and scoots over as if to hide the hand from her view. "Uh, AA! How are you?"

[verymuchalive]

"I'm good."

Aradia moves to try and catch a peek of what he's hiding.

"Is that an arm?"

[thekidsare0kay]

"Uh...yeah. Um, aa, meet my new friend... he hathn't given me hith name yet, actually." He's blushing even more. Also the hand is grabbing at his arm and clawing at it, but he's just gently trying to stroke it.

[verymuchalive]

She frowns a little. "Friend? It doesn't look too friendly to me, but maybe that's just how arms say hello?"

After all, violence is hardly reserved for utter enemies in troll culture and it's not like she's an expert on all the cultures represented within the tower.

[sovietbear]

Ivan was wandering along, and he very nearly passed the troll before he noticed him, and when he did notice him, he stopped.

And stared.

He hadn't eaten any of the chocolates yet, and so the fact that the other was trying to befriend one of the monsters... and failing miserably seemed rather odd to him.

"Ah... I would not be doing that if I were being you... If you are wanting a friend, you could be choosing someone better, da?"
