Sollux pushed his chair away from the desk and looked up at the ceiling. This whole "becoming friends with a stranger online" thing wasn't going too bad. Maybe it was because this troll was so calm and centered. He seemed to be able to handle Sollux, at the moment that is. 

The psionic troll spent a nice long couple of minutes staring at his thermal hull unit, He was really hungry and he had some left over grub loaf. He sighed and stared intently at the handle of the fridge, electricity crackling besides his eyes. The handle glowed before swinging open and the plate of grub loaf shakily floated over. This was certainly heavier than any soda can he ever carried telekinetically. The plate wobbled violently and Sollux was afraid he'd drop it. Thankfully the plate made it to Sollux's desk.

Shit.

He forgot to heat it up. Sollux lisped out a couple curse words and angrily picked up his platter before getting an idea. Maybe his psionics could be used as a heating unit as well? Hell, it was worth a shot. So Sollux sat down and his psionics crackled loudly and created a cloud of electricity around the plate of food. Five minutes later he ceased using his powers and poked at this food.

Still stone cold.

Angrily shoving cold grub loaf into his mouth, Sollux was also rapidly typing. He wasn't doing anything really, just brushing up on some coding. He had the beginners ~ATH manual wide open but he barely paid any attention to it. These layouts were so simple it was an insult to Sollux to even look at it. Then again to someone like his new grey text friend it might be difficult. Especially since he seemed so busy all the time and with his over protective lusus on his hands. He'd have to remember to send a couple of these simple codes to CG to gloat about his superior computer skills.

A few minutes went by and Sollux had done nearly the entire book's layout of codes. He was bored yet again. He switched back to Trollian, hoping to see one of his friends online and thankfully a certain jade blood was on.
