Take A Ride This seemed like the most normal thing he could actually get done around here without it being a parade of what he should or shouldn't be doing with his bulge and human anatomy that he wished he had never taken a small glance at. It's not something he wants to see again and it was not something he had been really excited about either. In fact, most of the displays that he had seen at the expo were doing the exact opposite for him in the context of what he supposed they were trying to do. It didn't matter, not much did. Not much changed from place to place, even station to station, people watching wasn't the same without someone to trash talk the inhabitants to and it quite quickly turned to him watching the stations go by, ignoring whatever else was going on in the stations just for the over look.
He had rolled with the punches easily enough when he realized what those whispered sounds were and that he was seeing in 3D again after so damn long. Nothing he couldn't handle but some of the quicker people walking by weren't as easy to watch as a broad view out a window. The seat next to him was empty, probably because he had bored the occupant to death and they'd already melted away to something more interesting. Grey skin, dual tall horns and fangs over top of his lips were a draw for some to stare and if they didn't engage talking to him, he didn't either.
Despite what the reason for the train was, Sollux was finally just relaxing. None of the things here were much different from his own experience growing up in a society that had upper and lower class. Just most of the focus wasn't on mating until mating seasons came around.
Pocket Full Of Pennies Having gotten bored eventually of riding the train all day, he made his way out at one of the stations, stretching his arms above his head. The news of gangs or other such nonsense didn't really bother him, it would take one hell of an opponent to put him on his ass anymore. There was nothing he'd like more than to maybe get into a small scrap, get the rust off, but unless the opponent had a good way to get an upper hand and knew just how to stop his psionic abilities, they weren't going to have a good time.
People in trouble weren't his business, but he was sure that if he didn't at least hail to it, he'd never hear the end of it once he got back to lounging around and being a useless write-off. If there were issues, maybe the small scrap in that way wouldn't be so bad either. He could feel like he did a half assed thing, look like he wasn't being selfish and forget that he actually shouldn't be a useless write-off. Maybe.
Until and when, Sollux wanted to have a look at the station map on the wall and see if he could get a better feel for where everything was before they undoubtedly got carted off by the establishment running the place.
Expo In General When it had said "Sexpo" he knew that likely there would be some sort of this going on, but the tech part of it is what had him curious. As somewhat a coder himself, fellow children, Sollux felt the need to see just what sort of tech they were talking. If it was something he could at least pass time with then great, if not, then boring and at least maybe he'd find something more exciting to look at in the area around it. His eyes were certainly over by the AI every now and again, that was an interesting area as well as some of the more code-centric things where AI was involved in the guts and glory of the 1's and 0's.
For all the other things he's done today, this one might be the most exciting in the way that this place hadn't planned. Nothing really got him physically, but using his brain for things he hasn't in forever made it one hell of an exciting day at least for that part. Finding like minded people here might be a little more easy, people that weren't sporting an IQ of dirt were normally the ones behind the posts, but he has a great set of pointy ears to listen to and find out if someone's talking sense or making small talk and he's not afraid to use them.
All Else ((Your choice! PM if you have questions.))
((Imagery for the unfamiliar. I won't be, for now, using his lisp, colour or quirk for readability and no permission post is present for it so that's not fair to you guys. Sollux is 22. If you don't want Epilogue spoilers please let me know. I think that's everything?))
