Ah, Cocona-chan, that Ditto you gave me...it worked, in the end.

[ The camera pans over to settle on Watanuki's Porygon, Akiba, blinking at a sizeable clutch of eight. ]

I have no idea how all of that came from Akiba, though...

[ And tbph he's pretty sure he'd rather not know. MOVING ON. ]I'll sell them, I suppose--we can say 5000P, to start? I

Hold on, Porygonth are thuppothed to be able to do all of that...? Fuck, mine really ith retarded.

Thpiritth and dead people don't theem like they'd be that bad to me. AA never complained about them, at leatht, other than not really knowing what the voitheth were trying to tell her thometimeth.

Theeing the future ith awful though, no matter what anyone thayth. It'th not worth it and then all you have ith a bunch of uthleth prophethieth about dying or going blind and no idea when it'th even going to happen or anything. It pretty much can jutht go thuck a bulge.

Well, they've very different...all dead people are spirits, but not all spirits are dead people. Some are just made from negative emotions, or strong desires.

[ At Sollux's explanation, his expression darkens. ]

I'm sorry. It must be a terrible burden to bear.

[video]

[p2iioniichacker]

...You really mean that? About it being terrible. [no one's ever felt sorry for him before. they always just tell him to shut up and stop thinking his life is horrible. this is kind of weird.]

[video]

[holdsleftovers]

Of course I do. I can't even imagine knowing all that, or having to deal with it every day.

[ It's not entirely pity, either--Watanuki sympathizes, because he gets what it's like to have powers that you can't control and don't want, and being jossed every other day/week because of it. ]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker]

I think you're the firtht perthon who'th thaid that. Everyone elthe theemth to think I thould jutht deal with it.

[holdsleftovers]

Deal with it?!

[video] 2/2

[holdsleftovers]

It isn't something you can just--deal with! No one should expect you to!

[ why do you have terrible friends, sollux :/ ]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker]

It'th not really that big a deal though. And I'm kind of a freak anyway tho motht people don't really care.

[because his friends are all trolls. :|b]

[video]

[holdsleftovers]

I think hearing the screams of the dying is a pretty 'big deal'.

[ Besides which, he's tired of people back home making light of his ability and he's projecting a bit. ]

Why would people think you're a freak?

[ ...more than a bit. Herp. ]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker]

Becauthe I am? Thychic powerth aren't that unuthual but the oneth I have are. Add that to my thtupid eyeth and hornth and think pan and I'm pretty much a huge freak.

[video]

[holdsleftovers]

Well I--I--

[ A pause. ]

I don't think you're a freak, Sollux-kun.

[ So there. ]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker]

But you barely know me.

[video]

[holdsleftovers]

So? That doesn't mean my feelings aren't true.

I've had a good impression of you.

[video]

[p2iioniichacker]

...Well, thankth, I gueth. Even if that'th weird to hear.

[video]

[holdsleftovers]

Don't mention it.

[ A beat. ] If you ever...need to talk. I usually have my 'gear on.

[ JUST FYI ]
