[Open Log]

[wwaterboy]

Characters: AU Eridan, OU Vriska, and Open!!
Setting: Somewhere in the tower, feel free to choose. He's travelling down the stairs for lunch.
Format: Either is fine.
Summary: Eridan is out and about. Meet him! Also Vriska is going to try to feed him to spidermom.
Warnings: Nothing yet. Eridan's foul mouth is certain to be found here.

[Hoarding food can only take you so far. Eridan's still not really talking much to his roommate, mostly because he's a bit resentful that Taiki took a flying leap off the tower with Eridan on his back. Stupid weird paranoid crying kid who claimed to fly but didn't even have wings and stupid Eridan for believing him and stupid tower for existing. He misses Feferi so much his wind tube hurts.

So anyway, he can't ask Taiki to bring him food anymore, so that means he has to go down to the cafeteria. But. He's not scared. Eridan Ampora doesn't get scared. He just doesn't want to have to deal with all this weird glubbing shit.

He is climbing down the stairs, head held high and a very 'come at me bro' look on his face. If anyone wants to give him shit for existing or something, he is so ready]

[Oh. Eridan stops as a troll suddenly emerges from the shadows, his eyes narrowing, and then widening with horror and shock as he sees--

Wings.

On a fucking blue blood.

His eyes narrow. Because if there's one thing Eridan hates, it's someone who's better than he is, and that's pretty much everyone]

Wwhat do you wwant, dirt-- uh. Wwhatever.

[Maybe dirtmuncher wasn't a good insult for someone who could fly. He'd have to think about that one.]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Well. That's not the reaction she was expecting out of Eridan. Was that horror? What was that about? Did he know what she'd been planning to do? Shit. If people already know about Spidermom, her cover will be blown quicker than she'd like it to.

But she doesn't let that uncertainty show, and simple cocks her head, smirking in his direction.]

Well, well, aren't you in a terrible mood? What's the matter, Ampora? Did someone reject you again?

[wwaterboy]

Wwhat? No.

[Why is she acting like she knows him? And again with the name, when he doesn't even remember seeing this chick before in his life!

He quickly sorts through his memories, with a little desperation. But he's sure he'd remember meeting a blueblood with wings. I mean. That's the kind of thing you remember]

Wwho the fuck are you? Uh, no offense or anyfin, but if we'vve met before, it must a been a real boring incident.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[UHM. Hold the fucking phone, did he just call her boring? Her eyes narrow minutely, wings twitching just slightly in irritation. How dare he! She's the best he's ever had in terms of quadrants.

She flicks a lock of hair out of her face.]

Oh pleeeeeeeease, Eridan! I know you're still upset over the break up - I mean, who wouldn't be? But acting like you don't know me is the dumbest thing you could possibly do.

[wwaterboy]

[Oh for fuck's sake. He's pretty sure he knows what's going on right now.]

Sorry, you must be mistakin' me for someone else. Like a vversion a me wwho actually evver dated you.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, this shit again? She's so sick of all of these different doomed timelines showing up. Karkat must have really fucked up if there are this many offshoots. She's going to have to rib him about it later.]

That's too bad for you, then! So you've never met me on your timeline?? What a shame.

The great Vriska Serket, at your service!

[wwaterboy]

Really? [He grins a little. She couldn't have meant that one, but he wasn't going to just let it go.] At my servvice?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Wow, Eridan, please leave. She rolls her eyes as dramatically as she can manage, putting her hands on her hips and sneering condescendingly.]

Pretty eager to jump at a proposition, huh? Sucks for you, because that isn't what it is.

[wwaterboy]

If it wwere a proposition, I'd a had to turn it dowwn, probably. Unless wwe're talkin' flushed. [He casually flashes the enormous spade-shaped topaz ring on his left hand, and the little diamond-shaped piece of oyster shell on his right.] But anywway, I don't knoww you, so I wwouldn't wwaste my time, anywway. You'll havve to wwoo me a little, if you're lookin' to fill a quadrant.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't even deign to look at the rings. She really doesn't give a shit about his quadrants. It isn't worth her time. Honestly, she's more interested in ditching him and going to find another victim before Spidermom starts wandering in search of food, or worse- comes in search of her to make her pay.]

No thanks, Ampora! I've already filled a quadrant with you and it was preeeeeeeetty disappointing. Can't say I'd like a repeat of that sad affair!

[wwaterboy]

It behoovves me to point out that you havven't evver filled a quadrant with me. Just probably that stuck up highblood asshole I met on my first day.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[If he keeps this up, she won't have to go find another victim. She just shrugs noncommittally.]

You'd be lucky if you even got the chance, but it doesn't even matter. Filling a quadrant with you would be just as unsatisfying as filling it with the Ampora from my timeline.

[She does seem vaguely interested in the insult to highbloods though.]

What's this, insulting your own blood status? Wait, don't tell me. You're blood color is different too and you're just running around with a highblood's color on your shirt? Hahahahahahahaha, that's weak!

[wwaterboy]

Wwhat? That's a ridiculous fuckin' proposition. [He lifts a hand and gently touches one of his facial fins, though he is only now realizing he spilled the beans on something he probably should have kept quiet] You think these are fake? I'm a sea dwweller wwith the same purple blood you'd expect.

[And he draws himself up. He's going to have to explain, so he might as well do it in as snotty a way as possible, so as to minimize the weakness it suggests]

But wwhere I come from, the hemospectrum got flipped a couple a centuries ago due to a rebellion. So sea dwwellers - and blues like you, too - are loww bloods and it's the red and golds wwho are high.

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.]

All of these offshoot timelines from ours are pointlessly different, it wouldn't even be surprising if fins meant something else in a different timeline.

Woooooooow, seriously? I thought the whole point of rebellions like that was supposed to get rid of the need for a hemospectrum. Turns out the dirt bloods just wanted a taste of the high life instead, huh?

[wwaterboy]

[Scowling] Yeah right. That's all wwell and good if you're a followwer. But the fact is, someone's gotta be in charge. And wwhy not grind your former oppressors under your heel wwhile you're at it? That's justice, right? Only I'vve personally nevver been one a the oppressors, or anyone wwho's still alivve in my time. Still I gotta suck slime, because a the corruption of prevvious generations.

[Oops, you might have gotten him going a little, Vriska. Never talk politics with a sea dweller]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Dead-eyeing so hard. Can you feel the lack of interest radiating from her?]

Blah blah, whatever! I didn't ask you to bitch my ears off about the hemospectrum and how terrible your miserable life is because you're actually at the bottom of it for once.

[wwaterboy]

[Ugh, this blue is such a 8itch. Not that they aren't all, in his experience]

Wwell you're the one wwho brought it up!

[Was it? He can't remember. And also, he doesn't care]

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Eridan is a snob no matter where he comes from, it seems. She rolls her eyes in her direction.]

I reeeeeeeeally didn't ask for your little sob story. It's not like it really matters anyway. Your timeline is doomed, mine is the alpha timeline.

[wwaterboy]

[And you can have an eyeroll right back] Newwsflash, all of our timelines are doomed. Isn't that the wwhole reason wwe're here?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

If you actually believe that load of hoofbeast shit, then sure!

[wwaterboy]

You don't? [He scowls] But wwhat about all those wworlds you can see on the screen on that one level?

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

Of course I don't! It's easy enough to fake that crap, and this place definitely wasn't built to rescue us.

I'll believe it when I go back there and see it for myself.

[wwaterboy]

Wwell it's pretty obvvious that this place wwasn't meant as a rescue, or it wwouldn't be so fucking horrible here.

[He bites his lip a little. At least if their worlds are actually okay, that means Feferi is all right. Except she won't be all right forever if Eridan doesn't return]

dfsksdkj SORRY i didn't realize i hadn't tagged this

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

Obviously. [She rolls her eyes.] I seriously can't believe you'd fall for that. Do you believe everything people tell you, Ampora??

Is that was a lowbloods life taught you?

No worries!

[wwaterboy]

[He stares at her for a moment] I wwas bein' fuckin' sarcastic, but maybe the sludge runnin' through your vveins is cloggin' up your think pan. I nevver for one minute thought this wwas a rescue, wwhich is wwhy I said it wwas obvvious it wwasn't one!
