[OPEN] How much of it's genetics? How much of it is fate?

[chronomancer]

Characters: jade!Eridan & YOU! 
Setting: Workshop
Format: Starting with action, but I'll match you.
Summary: Eridan emerges from his self-imposed exile for a while to clean his rifles.
Warnings: Eridan's deadpan. Potential violence if he gets pissed; lots and lots of rifles. Gamzee. Gory, ironic death via Gamzee. Goddammit, Gamzee.

[He started off with one. And then he doomed himself a few times. And well. It wasn't like he could just let them go to waste, when they started piling up.

Laser rifles need a different type of maintenance than the usual kind, but it's still maintenance in the end.

So there's a sullen troll, half hidden behind a pile of guns, carefully cleaning one by one. It's a methodical and repetitive process, but it's not like Eridan seems to mind too terribly. He's just minding his business, but hey. Maybe if you ask very nicely, he'll give you one.

Maybe.]

Fuck off, my hugs are awesome.

[They're kind of not? Since he's mostly a sack of bones and pointy corners, but hey, at least he tries.]

Class A pacifying going on here.

[Well hey, Jade doesn't have much meat on her bones herself, so its basically a skeleton hugging another skeleton. But it works!]

They are slightly more than above average. [Said sarcastically as fuck, but she did chuckle.] Don't worry, I don't think I'm gonna go on a homicidal rampage.

I don't know, hon, that wit of yours gets deadly sometimes.

[Is he mocking? Is he sincere? Will the world ever know? And more importantly, does it even matter?]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[We can answer that last question with a quite definitive 'no.' It's really all the same to them.]

Sadly I've yet to find an imp or a monster that can legitimately be decimated by a rapier wit.

[chronomancer]

I'm sure there's ought to be one out there. More likely than one you rap to death, even.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Just drop some totally sick fires, and it'll literally burst into flame.

Best way to watch fuckers go, really.
