Generally speaking, whenever Sollux is out and about it's under the hope that he will not be seen by any of his dorm mates. He doesn't like people talking to him with their long confusing sentences, and he doesn't like trying to jabber back in broken English.

But some things he just doesn't have space for in his room. Like completely disassembling his computer, for example.

However, even while those pieces are scattered all over the table, he mostly seems to be focused on routing through every single cupboard in the kitchen and leaving stuff he doesn't need in unexpected places. He mutters under his breath in Alternian as he hunts.
