Where: Plaza => Travel => Roxy's place
When: After this and a moirail divorce
Style: Action
Status: Closed!

[ So maybe she had dolled up a little bit for this small night out. Not a lot. She hadn't gone out of her way to dress any fancier or anything. But she had paid a little more attention to her makeup, had made sure each hair was in just the right place.

This was probably the closest thing to a date she'd have for a while, and it was with someone she wasn't even romantically interested in. She had to make the most of this.

But she got out to the plaza by the appointed time, taking a seat beneath the coral, legs folded as she looked about for her escort for the evening. ]

[Boy, it had been quite the hour between their conversation and now. Eridan has lost his moirail, been a weeping messing, got misunderstandings and feelings sorted, and now high hopes that he can get his moirail back. All in time for his little platonic date with Roxy.]

[Though, Roxy ain't the only one gussying up before heading to the plaza. Eridan definitely had to, he didn't need to show up with evidence he had been some embarrassing emotional wreck over Fef leaving him AGAIN and all.]

[You wished for your escort, Ma'am? Well here he is, right on time too. He flashes her a grin, a weak one, but a grin. Things might be worked out for the most part, but he's still a little off kilter with the events so fresh and all.]

Weren't waitin' too long were ya? Wasn't expectin' ya to beat me here.

[Once he's close enough to her, he stops and gives her a look over wwith his one good eye, gosh Roxy way to be a cute human. Usually Eridan just scoffs at the pink, soft-skinned, inferior species, but Roxy done clean up nicely! That's for damn sure.]

[oceanbreasts]

[ Aw there he is look at him how fucking cute is he.

Roxy pushes herself up to her feet as he approaches, and there's a brief moment where she can't decide what the proper way to greet him would be. ]

Nah, only been out here a couple'a minutes. Never complain about hangin' out in the plaza, though.

[ People watching is still a Thing, even a month later.

Decision made, Roxy promptly steps up to him and gives him a giant hug, complete with almost awkward levels of squeezing. ]

Good to finally see you face t' face, Sweetfins.

[ Aaaaaand let go. ]

[unconchonable]

Oh, well good.

[Cue Eridan being utterly unsure of what to do as she hugs him. His arms going out on either side and he's trying to decide on if he should hug her back or not. With that awkward squeezing though, he decides maybe it'll be alright, it's all friendly-like anyways! So after a few moments, he does hug her back, though not as enthusiastically as she is him.]

Same--

[Though, she just called him Sweetfins, which totally just reminded him of a certain shouty boyfriend of his and his jealousy... When she stops hugging him, he does the same, letting his arms fall to his sides as he continues. Maybe he'll fiddle with his scarf a little.]

Oh--uh. Hmmm.

[How to say this...]

So, my matesprit... Kar, he kinda is a little fuckin' jealous a you callin' me Sweetfins and all. Which I tried to tell him it's just harmless friendliness, but he's got his nubs in a twist about it.

[Sigh, he likes the nickname though, so this kinda sucks but...]

So if ya could, maybe we should refrain from you callin' me that--at least where he can see it I guess.

[What Karkat can't see/hear won't hurt him, right? Eridan knows this isn't going anywhere but the friendzone and he's fine with that, so the nickname? Not even a big deal, but to Karkat, it's a whole 'nother story.]

[oceanbreasts]

[ Aw shit yeah that was a good hug. It wasn't Dirk-level, but it was pretty damn acceptable. ]

Kar... kat, right? Angry. Nubs on his head?

[ Just checking to make sure she's keeping them straight. He'll need a nickname, too. ]

Jealous type, huh? That's totes fine, I can pull back on the name thing.

[ For like. A week. Probably.

If you're lucky. ]

Though I should really sit his shouty butt down and explain to him a few things about Rolal. Mostly that I don't care and no one actually gets called their name around me.

[ Pause. ]

And also that Dirk says shit to make people flip out because it cracks him up.

[ As much as a robot-human can crack up. And yes, she saw the sugar lips thing. ]

[unconchonable]

Yeah, Karkat. And he is a bit a the jealous type, but I don't mind it.

[Just shows how much Karkat does care about him and he can't complain there...]

I don't know how much that'd really help, Kar can be pretty fuckin' stubborn sometimes, but feel fuckin' free to try and explain all a that.

[But then she had to go and mention Dirk, and maybe his cheeks purple--slightly.]

He's a bit of a fuckin' tool with that. I'we discowered it first hand. Kar left him a message... Is he easy to rile by chance?

[oceanbreasts]

[ Pffffffffffffffffhahahahahahahaha hold on. Just give her a second. And... okay. Okay, done laughing. ]

D-Stride, lose his cool? Not likely. Sometimes I think he's more of a robot than the ones he builds! Nah even when shit was hittin the fan and the miles were killin us all off he kept a totally cool head-- [ hold on another pause for laughter hahaha Dirk kept his head get it ] --and pulled us all outta the fire.

If he sounds angry, he's prob'ly yankin' your chain. He's cool as the other side of the pillow or whatever.
