[ooc: Time shenanigans! Eridan has been splitting off into several dozen doomed selves who are now running around the tower getting killed, and will probably descend on this entry en masse. Which is gonna get very confusing, very frustrating, very soon. Have fun?]

Comments

[chronomancer]

[Eridan nodded slowly.]

Sure. I can do that.

[Except not, whoops.]

[hystericull]

[This seemed to be enough to satisfy Gamzee. He flopped down the stairs pretty haphazardly in Eridan's wake, not paying attention at all to where they were headed. As long as he had someone to follow, what was the point of being observant? He was much more interested in getting lost in his own head, thank you very much.]

[chronomancer]

[That's good Gamzee, let the poor wounded kid go ahead of you, it's okay. He'll try not to break his neck on the way down. Wow, you're such help. But finally, here! The Infirmary, and no one's dead!

Mostly.]

[hystericull]

[Yeah he's a really considerate, observant person. Oh, come on, at least his heart's in the right place, even if his brain ditched out a long time ago. But here they were! Gamzee hadn't been to the infirmary in a long time. He wondered if his little human friend was still helping out around here. He hadn't seen her since the party. Oh. Right. Eridan! After noticin the jadeblood had gotten pretty far ahead of him, Gamzee scurried to cath up to his wounded bro.]

So... we waitin' on other you, Jadebro?

[chronomancer]

I'm already here.

[Eridan was sitting on the floor by the wall, then threw a roll of bandages up at the Eridan Gamzee had come in with Gamzee. He fumbled a little to catch it and then slunk over to his clearly not dead future self to have the asshole at least help with the whole fixing up. Eridan, remembering having done so and playing the whole thing by memory, waited until his wounded past self was sitting in front of him to try and bandage him up.]

...that was some amazing way to die there, wasn't it.

[Eridan snorted, offering his arm with a grimace.]

In stereo. I think it goes into the top ten.

[Eridan snorted and offered Gamzee a smile.]

Thanks for helping out, Gam.

[hystericull]

[Oh, Jesus Christ the other Eridan had scared the ever-loving shit out of him. ...Except, not literally. Maybe if we were speaking literally, he'd have scared the ever-loving honks out of him. Because lord knows he was making quite a racket when the other one decided to pipe up and chuck some bandages their way.]

[After a few awkward beats of staring around the infirmary, Gamzee again had lost track of Eridan. Oh, he'd made his way to the one that had scared him half to death. Okay. He followed shortly after, crouching down near the two but not sitting, wringing his hands absently and looking on at the bandaging procedures like he'd never seen anything quite like it. Well, he hadn't, really. He looked genuinely interested, mostly curious.]

[When he'd been addressed, he paused mid-wring, lifting his focus to Eridan. ...One of them, at least. Wherever that voice came from.]

Whuh... oh. Shit. Anything for a motherfuckin' brother of mine. But, uh, I ain't really up and got myself to be much fuckin' useful. Uh, I think?

[Suddenly feeling very guilty oh God.]

There anything, like, you all need from a motherfucker, Jadebro? Don't think I know how to wrap them bitches or nothing.

[Couldn't be that hard to learn, right? ...Don't answer that.]

[chronomancer]

[Eridan snickered and Eridan startled as Gamzee made a little honking racket. But then he came over and both of them sighed.]

It's okay.

It's okay.

[Are you tired of hearing Eridan in stereo yet?]

It's not that bad, really.

It's still attached.

Exactly.

[They snorted in unison again, as Eridan tired up the bandage and Eridan tried not to wince, and both of them wondered what they should do next.]

[hystericull]

[He'd never get tired of hearing Eridan in stereo - are you kidding me? It's practically hours of entertainment! Gave him quite the hankering for some Troll Doublemint Gum.]

If you all say so, little motherfuckin' jadetwins.

[Gamzee rocked backwards a bit, falling on his ass - which was a lot more comfortable than squatting there. He slung his arms over his bent knees and stared at the two for a moment.]

...The fuck even happened at you, anyway, brother?

[chronomancer]

Which time?

[The question is completely honest as the two Eridans finish wrapping up the bandages and just sort of. Sit there.]

Because if you want an extensive list, we're gonna be here a while.

A very long while.

[hystericull]

I got time.

[Gamzee smiled happily, resting his chin on the crook of an elbow.]

Well, uh.

Not as much as you all do, I guess...

[chronomancer]

Oh.

[The Eridans shared a confused look.]

Uh.

Where do we even start?

[hystericull]

Wherever be all jumpin' up and biting you motherfuckers on the backside's what point I'd all suggest to be gettin' the start on with.

[He laughed.]

Ain't no much of a big motherfucking difference to this brother. I ain't all never knowin' when's a story's at the beginning or middle or end anyways.

[chronomancer]

Well, there's always some sort of order to things.

Except it never really makes sense.

Unless you're looking from the outside.

Right.

Or you're sitting on a heap of doomed timeline going--

--fuck my life, why didn't I see that one coming.

But yeah.

I just.

Uh.

Er.

Split?

Time shenanigans.

Timeloops.

Yeah, timeloops.

That usually explains everything.
