Being a maid is hard. It's hard and nobody understands.

[allthefeelings.livejournal.com]

Characters: [OU] Eridan Ampora, [OU] Vriska Serket, [AU] Karkat Vantas, anyone else who wants to encounter him
Setting: Residential floors
Format: Whatever you want
Summary: Eridan is doing his stupid maid job. Later, he gets eaten by a big spider.
Warnings: At least PG for swearing. Maybe higher for being eaten by a freaking spider.

Eridan hates his job. He feels he has good reason. HE shouldn't be made to clean the rooms of others. Of all those in the Tower, he least of all deserves that hateful job. Menial. As if he were no better than a lower troll. He's royal, a Prince, and yet here he is, sneaking from room to room and cleaning every fucking surface before gathering the sheets into his arms and bringing them down to dump them in the laundry room for later. He's alone. He can't stand the thought of his lusus watching him do this, even to help.

Of course, he can't always manage to choose an empty room.

Oh shit. Vriska stooped over her victim with a sudden wave of panic as she saw who it was. A troll. Eridan. Shit, that wasn't what she'd been going for, trolls weren't supposed to get involved because then it would just be a bigger mess. She glanced down the hallway quickly to make sure no one else was around before she grabbed hold of his cape to haul him up.

Well, it hadn't been what she was intending, but she wouldn't let a good meal for Spidermom go to waste. She hurriedly took the stairs to find the floor with the forest, stopping every so often to re-situate him on her shoulders before she finally gave up that tactic and decided to drag him the rest of the way once she reached the forest.

She hated how she knew the exact path to get to where Spidermom had spun her web, so she tried not to think about it as she pulled him along and then deposited him in the cleared area.

And who would be waiting but the other despicable cerulean, pacing and wringing his hands on anticipation. Or he had been, shortly before Spidermom had decided to pin him to the floor with her webbing to stop him. Now he was just trying to get it all undone before Vriska came back.

It didn't work. But suddenly it didn't matter because...

"You brought a troll?" Karkat hissed, color draining from his face as he struggled to keep his voice down.

"Is that really what you're going to focus on? Seriously? I brought her food!"

Vriska knew that probably wasn't a good enough answer, and she sighed, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she glanced down at him. She hadn't meant to bring trolls to spidermom, it definitely hadn't been on her list of victims but. Well... If any of the trolls deserved it, Eridan was high on the list of douchebags that needed to get fed.

"Look, it's not like a hand picked him or anyone! I knocked out the first person I saw."
