[A pile of books surround Eridan in fort-like towering stacks, a blanket and pillow shoved into the corner with a lit candle beside them on the floor. He is seated cross-legged on the ground, elbows on his knees and his chin propped up on his hands.

Guess who didn't pay attention to the maid and has been living in the library and the park on nice days since he arrived. Certainly not Eridan Ampora.]

So. I'm goin' to cut to the chase, Is there anyone wwho hasn't lost complete control a' their think pan? All a' you idiots spend your time prattlin' on about parties and free hivves and shit that doesn't fuckin' matter! I mean, honestly, is there anyone left wwho has the sense not to wwant to be some "god's" playthin'! I don't care about your inane arguments. "They need us!" "Oh, but they're soooo nice to us."

[Eridan smirks, showing off his sharp fangs, as he motions to the stacks of books. He picks up one of them, brandishing it at the screen.]

Clearly none a' you humans havve evven read your owwn military theory an' history. They're just placatin' you into stayin' here an' doin' their biddin' wwhen fear tactics alone wwoouldn't wwork. Etiher wway? You're still a slavve.

Think about that, Asgard.

[She is totally ignoring all of that wwhinin in favour of his surroundings, because really what on earth Eridan??]

... What are you doing with all those books? And I don't mean the ones you're reading.

[She's calmed down. Hell, regardless of what's happened last night, she's almost entirely lucid at this stage. More than lucid enough that, looking at Eridan's current state of being made her reach up and pinch her nose at the bridge.

Maybe Sollux had a point about him.

I mean, she 'got' paranoia. Paranoia made sense to her. It was part of why she was paying for her own apartment, her own food, her own clothes, running her own damned shop. But living in what looked like a book fort inside the library?!?]

Eridan... you are not allowed to live in my house, but there's a cheap apartment next door if you have a job. Hell bare minimum wage would cover it. It's in Loki district. Please don't tell me you've actually been sleeping like that this whole time...

[That's not pity you here. That's irritation.]

[Eridan.. seriously.. this is why nobody likes you. And for the purpose of this reply please assume her current facial expression matches this one exactly.

]

Are you trying to build yourself a fort or a tent or something with those?

[You are making piles of books and have a blanket after all.]

You're really smart, you know. You discovered all that on your own.

Ugh, you again. When are we going to red rid of you fucking termites??

[Eridan Ampora you are literally the biggest dipshit he has ever met in his life.]

eheheheheheh oh my god youve become a hobo.
how ii2 iit down there iin the gutter 2iir pompou2 prii22y pant2, haviing two 2mell your own 2hiit mu2t be 2o hard on your deliicate hiip2ter 2en2iibiiliitie2.
how wiill you ever get the 2tench of abject poverty out of your clothe2.

[Eridan shrugs, looking at the books before he answers matter of factly.]

Readin' them. These are the ones I need to read. [He motions to a side.] The other is ones I'vve read.

Edited 2012-09-14 01:25 (UTC)

But you've got towers. There's no way you could read that many, fishbug! And what's with the blanket and pillow??

[Eridan blinks, shrugging.]

Livved in wworse. Not like I got a job or anythin'.

[He pauses, breaking eye contact with the screen.]

No one wwould hire me, anywway. No one wwants me here.

[He looks back, smirk firmly in place.]

Besides, I'm not stayin' fuckin' long. As soon as I can figure out howw to get the hell out a' here, I'm not lookin' back.

It's a pile. Idiot human.

[He smirks haughtily at the screen.]

I am quite intelligent, yes.

[Trolls don't really get the whole sarcasm thing.]

... ok, I've got a little news flash for you. Apparently Baldr wants you around, or he wouldn't have dragged you here, and that jackass doesn't pick many. He's got one of the smaller houses. You're probably stuck here for a bit.

And if you talk to the natives, they'll fall all over themselves to hire you. They bloody think we're their damned saviors or something. Just us being around their shops makes them all colorful, so they love it.

I've been trying to get the hell out of this shit-hole for two months. No damned dice. Twice I've gone fucking nuts and I'm still stuck here. We're trapped in this hellspawned, rat-infested heap of rubble, and you're not getting out of here any faster than I am.

God... for all your bluster...

[She didn't finish the sentence. She was pinching her nose again.]

Swear, like talking to a mirror into my past.

Fuck off, human. [He snarls at the screen.]

I don't evven knoww wwho the fuck you are. But you knoww wwho I am. So wwho's the insect noww?

...That doesn't even make sense. You're still a bug because you're one of the fucking termites.

fuck off sol
i just dont see the point in gettin some fuckin job like a slavve when im not evven goin to be stayin here for longer than a feww fuckin days att the gogdamn most
im gettin the hell out a here wwith or wwithout your damn help

No, but see — you'd be able to bask in your intelligence a little more if you realized the obvious. [ Wait for it... ]

— I already know I'm held captive here.

[ Think about that, Eridan. ]

Edited 2012-09-14 02:50 (UTC)

Sorry for not understanding the difference Eridan, I thought you were at least trying to build something there but no instead you're just collecting a pile of shit around you. Okay.

[Eridan slyly attempts to push the pillow and blanket out of the screen's view.]

I'm not a fuckin' fishbug! An' wwhy do you evven care wwhat I'm doin', wwitch?!

Edited 2012-09-14 03:57 (UTC)

Wwell, it's not like anyone fuckin' told me any a' this, alright, Sam? Evveryone I kneww in my univverse wwishes I wwere still fuckin' dead an' it's not like I'm goin' to "make friends" wwith damn humans wwho are so ignorant as to think that magic actually exists!

So, Baldr can just go suck his own damn bone bulge 'cause I'm no god's slavve!

[He frowns at the video feed, practically growling. Someone's a bit defensive.]

An' I am not gettin' a job like some fuckin' peasant lowwblood! I can survvivve on my owwn just fine.

Fishbug fishbug fishbug!

- Because I'm curious! What if you're doing something underhanded?? [Although currently whatever Eridan's doing looks less 'underhanded' and more 'sleepover'.]

An' yet you're the one that's insignificant.

Then wwhy the fuck don't you do somethin' about it.

[It's a statement, not a fact.]

... Wwhatevver, Rox.

[He raises one eyebrow.]

Noww, did you actually havve a fuckin' point?

[She bristled, her eyes narrowing before she muttered more than loudly enough to hear.]

... so, you can survive just fine on your own, feeding off of the scraps and the dregs, lurking in the shadows, living with a blanket and a candle? For a man with an ego your size, I'd almost think that would be crushing.

Since you're already there and reading, why don't you just work at the library? It's not like that's some menial job. You have to be educated for that. [Not really, but it felt that way sometimes.]

And you do realize that you've been advising a student of the arcane, didn't you? I've been weaving my will through the old ways since I was a child.
