> Sollux: Become even more fucked up then usual

Action; Around 842 Hastings Boulevard

[Sollux sighed as he brought a package addressed to him inside. He didn't know if it was his or if it was Russia's but he decided to open it anyway. He sits on the couch and reaches inside, pulling out a picture of something. It figures how he couldn't see what it was. It was probably something like his recupracoon or someth--

Upon contact with the photo, he blinked. What he regained wasn't his recupracoon, it was his vision. Though, it was strange. Everything looked almost like a painting, it was all on one backdrop. Nothing had any definition at all. It was all two-dimensional.

Was he high? Was this a dream? He gets up and takes a good look around. It was all 2-D. All of it. He reaches out to the couch and even his arm looked like it was part of the wall. This was all way too confusing.

He makes his way outside and just stares in disbelief. It was like everything was made of paper or something.

If you happened to be walking by, you will notice Sollux looking really confused and also that his right eye is now white instead of black.]

[ 2-D? No problem!! Rin is a virtual girl after all. Maybe it will be a good look for her. ]

{Yeah, he's definitely just going to stare at Rin as she walks by. Hey, wait a second... she looked familiar. He walks over to her hesitantly.]

...Rin?

[It's been a while since he could see, he's almost forgotten what everyone looked like.]

[Rin recognizes the voice, although she didn't immediately notice him - even though she knew that he had it, she hasn't seen him since he got his troll body back. So when she turns around, it takes her a little off guard. She blinks a couple of times.]

... Hi! Jeez, I didn't recognize you like that! ♪

Yeah, it's been a while since we last talked to each other face-to-face, huh?

It really has. I don't think I've seen you since Halloween!

...Speaking of which, looks like I was really right about your eyes matching the dress. ♪

I guess they do. Black matches just about anything.

[Guess who hasn't looked in a mirror yet.]

[that's a weird response. Oh well, she'll roll with this train by stating the obvious, why not.]

And your other eye is white, so yeah. ♪

...it is?

[Okay, looking around for something reflective and then going over to a parked car. He looks into one of the side mirrors and blinks a few times.]

Huh, I guess you're right.

[But he seems a little more upset about something else as he stares at himself.]

You didn't know? ♪

[wow, he's staring for a long time. It looks like it bothers him.]

So ... what's up with that? ♪

No, I didn't know.

[He backs away and looks back over at Rin.]

It's just that.. I've been blind for the last what, 5 months? I haven't been able to see myself since then and...

I've pretty much forgotten what I looked like.

Mmm... ♪

[She rests a finger on her chin, trying to imagine what that must be like. Can you really forget what you look like? Not if you're an idol with a computer brain, but ... it's definitely sad. She wants to cheer him up. So after thinking, she walks a little closer.]

Ok, let's get you to a bigger mirror then. That one is pathetic, you need to see the real you after all this time! ♪

[He stares at her for a minute before smiling a little.]

Okay, sure.

[Oh, good, he agreed to her silly idea. For a moment that stare had her puzzled.

Well she'll look around a bit]

Does your house have a full-length one? If not, there's the clothes store... ♪

If I remember correctly, there was one in my room.

All right!! ♪

[despite the fact that he should logically be leading the way to his own room, Rin decides to go on ahead.]

[And he follows right after, making notes about things such as how a few of the tables and things were moved to the side so he could move around easier. When they enter his room, he blinks a few times.]

...I really need to clean up in here.

[Since Dolorosa had been droned, there wasn't anyone cleaning up after him. There were piles of clothes and other shit everywhere.

How embarrassing.]

... S-Seriously. You've got a good excuse, but weren't you ever doing laundry? ♪

[please don't tell her you wear the same clothes every day...

Oh, right. Let's see if we can find the mirror in this shit. She ventures in.]

My old wife unit, Dolorosa, did my laundry for me.

[He follows her into the room and walks over to a full length mirror on the wall.]

Wow, I really have no idea what I put on in the mornings.

[He didn't care about fashion but he didn't want to be seen wearing what he was. Which was a really, really clashing outfit.]

And here I thought you actually liked primary-colored argyle! ♪

[Not really, but she wasn't about to comment on his bad fashion when she was preoccupied with his alien features.

She decides to shove the clothes around with her foot]

Maybe that bee sweater is in here somewhere. ♪

[He just watches her. He knows that he looks horrendous but he knows absolutely nothing about fashion so it'd be a good idea to just let her pick out an outfit.]

[ohh, he stopped saying anything. Well, she's not finding much good by shoving things around (but at least they're in a less conspicuous spot on the floor now.) Anyway, she looks back to him for a second and points to the closet]

You don't mind, right? ♪

[without waiting for his response, she opens it up and ponders.

Ahh, Sollux is branded a "nerd" by Mayfield standards. This means they haven't been kind to his closet. Not. At. All.

Gingerly, she removes a pocket protector from a white shirt and puts it ...elsewhere.]

Hm, this gray jacket's fairly respectable... oh, but you're gray too, seems kinda wrong. Well, maybe it'll help you blend into the wall. ♪

[If those bully problems haven't subsided, it could be helpful!! No but really, she keeps looking.]

Edited 2012-02-07 05:45 (UTC)

I don't really mind, no.

[He keeps watching, interested in what she will pick out.]

[She is going way in the back of the closet now...]

Jeez, finally~ ♪

[She just found the first T-Shirt in the whole wardrobe. It's white, but at least it's not a sweater vest, which he has a lot of.

But it's still winter, so that won't do on its own. She hands it to him]

Hang on, I'm goin' back in. ♪

[surely there is another jacket that isn't gray? ... Aha, she found a navy blue one. Oh, wait, a yellow one! ... More fashion conscious people would certainly pick the blue one, but yellow is the best color ever, so she'll bring out both.]

Ok, one of these too. And some jeans. Never the shorts. ♪

[He looks at the two jackets and picks the yellow. Yellow is the only color that looks good on him, after all.]

It's too cold for shorts anyway.

Right, exactly! ♪

[Like she thought. Yellow is the best! Back in the closet with you, Navy thing. And that's when she notices a bunch of those really thin black ties people used to wear in the 50s. Hmm. She pulls one out.]

Maybe one of these too. But it should be fine either way. ♪

[She'll just set that down.]

Ok, I'll step out while you change. ♪

Okay.

[And after she leaves, he changes and looks at himself in the mirror. It was all still really weird. Like he was looking at a picture in a story book rather then reality. He sighs.]

Okay, you can come back in now.

[she'll just slip back in then. And this looks way better than what he was wearing before, so she gives him a thumb's up!]

[He smiles a little.]

Thanks for picking out an outfit for me.

[she smiles back.]

Well, it was kinda fun! ♪

Heh, I guess so.

So now do you like what you see? ♪

Yeah, I do.

Hehe, lucky I came by then. ♪

[Rin is now proud of her fine work.

And a little peckish after all that walking around and closet-wrangling. He might not have noticed because of the 2-D vision, but earlier she traded in her robot body to be human like Len! Hunger is now a thing.]

... Hey, you got any snacks? ♪

Yeah. In the kitchen.

[He leaves his room and goes into the kitchen, leaning against a counter.]

[following and ... he's just gonna lean there? She assumes that means she can just rummage in the cupboards then.

Hm, there's some Fritos in here. That'll do.]

Thanks! ♪

No problem.

[Eridan stops by, and just.... is looking very strangely at Sollux.]

What the fuck are you doing?

[He sees Eridan and a giant grin spreads across his face.]

Ehehehehe, wow Eridan, you haven't changed at all. You still look like an idiotic tool.

The only one who's a fuckin' tool here is....

Wait hold on, what the fuck happened to your eyes?

I don't know but I can see again and that's all that really matters to me.

[Checking up on one's 'rail is a thing one needs to do, even if one is pretty caught up in their own crazy. Though it's kind of surprising to see the one white eye.]

Are you okay, Sollux?

Yeah.

[He smiles a little and walks over to her, pulling her into a hug.]

Your hair's gotten longer.

[Hugs are good, and she returns it happily.]

I haven't cut it since -- wait! You can see it?

[He nods.]

Yeah but everything looks 2-D, it's kind of irritating but I can get used to it.

2-D? Like all flat and stuff? Well, I guess it's betta than being blind. I'm just - after everything, I'm just glad you're alive and okay.

I'm glad everyone's alive and okay too.

I didn't think we would be, after all that crap.

[She sighs.]

I'm still not completely all right, but I'm okay enough to deal.

[he hugs her a little tighter before letting go.]

My head still feels like it's burning but it's not as bad as it used to be.
