Ten years later, humanity and the synthetic life on the station are at odds
Hypatia has inducted as many citizens of Sacrosanct into a private military and launched
an all-out war against organic life and the people of Asphodel.
Some were kept on the station as captives, some escaped down planet-side
to become part of the resistance, and countless others were re-purposed into
Hypatia's willing slaves.

Now, tensions are at a peak and both sides are preparing for a throwdown. Skirmishes break out on the station and planet. Many of Hypatia's prisoners have been freed, but many more have fallen to the clutches of reprogramming.

Where will you be?

How this works:
-If you are synthetic or part-synthetic, OR if you have special armor (Looking at you, Spartans, Troncast, EVERY ROBOT EVER) you are a target for re-purpose.
You can still have escaped down to the planet, but she'll be after you. Going to the station is dangerous, once you enter her wide-area-network you are at risk of being hacked

-If you are fully organic, you are either dead, kept prisoner and made to work on the station, or part of the resistance on Asphodel.

-Anything in-between? You decide. Be creative with this.

-Fill out the form below to give us an idea of what your character is up to, what happened to them etc. Thread with each other! RP it out!

-Also, bring in your extra journals! There won't be the same people on the station ten years from now! If you're planning to app someone, or just have something interesting lying around, toss them in!

That smile hint of a smile that he had, he was starting to become so hopeful again. Just because of the cooperation, the fact that he was letting him.

"... I just want t'see you again," he speaks, slowly moving himself down to prop himself up on one of his knees. "I can wait the necessary time it takes. Fuck, at this point if you had t'give me days until I'd see you... I would wait."

"And truthfully? I'll take the few minutes, t'be honest. It's... short, but fuck it all if I just kept on tryin' t'do what I was doin'." His head lowers, rubbing his face again. "I know I'm actin' soft as hell right now, but I'm just really sorry for what I've been puttin' you through."

"I miss it," Sollux says dreamily. "Touching you. I miss touch a lot, when I think about how things were. Is that weird? It probably is."

"No. It's not weird at all." Eridan corrects him gently, closing his eyes for moment to think back.

"I also think back, back before everythin' went to literal hell. Everythin' was much simpler, everythin' was just so good for us, even when we had someone try t'take over, or the teleporters malfunctioned to all hell."

He balls his fists slightly, tilting his head down. "I don't know how you fuckin' put up with me back then. I never even fucking realized how good you were t'me for the longest time." After a moment, he pulls his head back up, shaking his head. "... Sorry, I'm probably just distractin' you with this."

"We did have it pretty good. And I mean, I...hated you, a lot. Still do. It's frustrating, you know," Sollux cuts into his own train of thought. "I can't do much to you like this, besides be annoying or throw you into walls. And there's even less you can do to me without compromising the whole defense system. It sucks."

Pause.

"Are you going to give me a kiss, when you see me? I don't remember much of what kissing was like. Or any of it, really. Everything gets overrun with datadatadata. My organic memory isn't as perfect as the mechanical stuff."

"I've... actually taken t'writin' down some of the stuff I start t'remember. I don't want to forget anythin', and it just feels right t'do that, y'know? And-- if you'd like, I could try t'come by with it when I come by more." He begins to explain, leaning back just a tad. "... I never ever stopped hatin' you. Nothin' can compare t'where you sit in my heart. You an' Gam'."

His words could not be anymore true. He never forgot about him, he never wanted to leave him, he never wanted this to happen. He was separated from them, but never in his heart.

"I am. I'll let you remember how it was t'be kissed by me." He glances up as he says that, remembering something. "... I'm goin' t'be the shittiest kisser, though. I haven't had much t'kiss lately. It's... goin' t'be somethin'."

"No shittier than someone who barely remembers how to do it," Sollux reminds him. "And I guess my life filtered through the eyes of a moron is better than nothing at all, ehehehehe."

"Don't worry. I figure it won't be that hard for us t'figure out." A chuckle, and he slowly rises from the ground. "I promise I'll try t'keep it neutral for you."

He almost let that last part slide, but he catches it. "... And I'm not a moron."

Sollux's psionics glow around Eridan and curl around his body, almost tender.

"That's the best I can do right now," he says quietly. "I'll let you know when it's ready. You better visit before then, though."

When he expected pain from the psionics, he was almost shocked to feel the opposite. He curled his arms around his sides, closing his eyes for a moment. It's almost as if he can feel him. He was going to feel him again soon and he was so happy to know this.

"It works... It really does," Eridan replies back, straightening his figure and fluttering his eyes open. These good feelings he was feeling, he slowly begins to walk backwards, grinning a bit. "I'll be back in a bit, actually. I just want to get somethin' t'eat and grab a couple a things."

As he draws closer to the exit, he stops, looking back, then towards him yet again. "I ... Hey Sol'?"

"Yeah?" He lets the glow fade as Eridan walks away, pausing expectantly.

"I hate you." He simply says, trying not to smile too much. "And I will always hate you, no one will fill what you've carved into me, no matter how much they try."

He lifts his hands up, making them into a shape of a spade. He knows that he can't give the symbol back in the state he's in, but... he couldn't help it. Those tiny gestures that they used to give each other, they were hard to shake off. "If I'm gone for longer than a bit, feel free t'remind me however you can. I'm goin' t'make time for you, one way or another."

"You will. Or I'll do it for you."

And with that, Sollux burns a spade through Eridan's shirt with his psionics and shoves him out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.

Proved him wrong. Wow, someone (Eridan) panicked as he was shoved out to deal with the burn, actually pulling off the shirt because of it. Well then.

He looks back to the door, shaking his head. He was on a timer right now, and he was going to get what he needed. He was so determined to make this work again, in whatever way it could.
