 Dib hadn't been feeling himself as of late. Nothing really could have accounted for it, either. It had been weeks, almost a month since his last investigation into something even remotely malevolent, he couldn't  get ill - at least not for long - and if it wasn't for the distinct possibility of it being simple allergies, Dib would have been more suspicious of what was happening. 

He scratched an itch on his upper arm, blaming allergies or a rash on it as he took a shower, and tried to ignore the fact that lately, his moods had been in a negative slump. He'd tried really damn hard to keep it from others though. He wasn't the type to get short with people for any reason, but lately, he'd been feeling himself more quick to annoy, quick to straight up anger.

It was bizarre, but not read into it bizarre. He thought about Gaz, and how she was always this way, and attributed it to genetics, rather than something malevolent.

After drying himself off and getting dressed, he walked to Sollux's apartment next door and slipped in, settling down beside Sollux. 

"Hey look, I'm gonna probably be gone for a couple weeks coming up here."

"Futile," was all the response that Sollux got from Dib, which was punctuated with another chuckle that was certainly nothing Dib had ever given. It was still his voice, certainly, but it sounded as though his vocal cords were being used in a way that they weren't used to being used, by somebody who had no idea how to work them. He slipped away from Sollux and the spikes on his arms grew longer and wider, more capable of damage.

"I'm not going to help you."

Sollux' lip curled up as he watched the skin splitting and the spikes growing out of his boyfriend's arms, making him look like some kind of comic book monster. Psionic sparks crawled down his arms as he prepared to pin Dib's body down until the thing piloting him calmed down.

"I have no intention of taking you anywhere," he muttered at the entity, then moved forward and put his hands on Dib's face, looking him in the eye. "I don't want to leave you alone if I go out, Dib. You better kick thith thing for a little while tho we can thee Bill."
