anon text (as usual)

This post, if people would like to utilize it, can be used to quickly meet up with those you were separated or stranded from during the previous month, as well as ensuring one another of your safety.

This will help ensure that we have one place to check for such correspondences, and will not flood the network with an overabundance of the same sentiment.

You're free to utilize your own means, of course- I simply figured this would be a useful tool, after all that has happened.

[You thought Kanaya was bad? Sorry, Eridan, but you've just unleashed a great big mustard-blooded fussyfangs all over your own unfortunate self.]

[OK so now he's going down to the library apparently? ERIDAN IS EVEN LESS TRUSTWORTHY THAN HE IS OVER THE NETWORK, OK. He has to make sure.]

WWhats that evven supposed ot mean?

[the message didn't get an answer for a while, which Eridan took to mean he was in for an Equius visit. He groaned a little but decided against absconding. That'd be mean. Even though he wasn't feeling all that sociable, per se. Checking on everyone was more to keep his nerves from fraying beyond repair, than anything else.

Equius will find Eridan leaning on the terminal, squinting at various network postings over the rim of his sunglasses and trying very hard to pretend everything's cool and peachy.

Which would be fine, except this is Eridan and things are never cool and peachy.]
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows> (♐ bwuh)

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Erida--

[...Oh.]

[The jadeblood actually. Is intact. Completely. Limbs and all. It's kind of sad that Equius was surprised at this, but he is, and he seriously contemplates making a break for it now. But it's too late. He's already shoved his head out from behind the bookcases, and now there's nothing to do but owe up to his overwhelming stupidity once again and move closer. Why did he even do this? Obviously Eridan was fine, he was just overreacting! Since when has he overreacted to things like this anyway?! Urgh. Something has to be done. He needs to fix this.]


...Um. You... um.

[WAY TO FIX IT, ZAHHAK. WAY TO FUCKING FIX IT.]
chronomancer: (♒ another failed romance)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-05 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hey.

[Eridan slides back just enough to turn around and offer Equius a wry smile. He seems a little too energetic, perhaps, burning with some nervous energy he would rather not have to deal with. He stands up, not quite as slouched as usual and spreads his arms wide.]

See? I managed to survive a month in one piece, do I get a prize? And can the prize not involve dying?
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows> (♐ lost)

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Um... I don't have anything to give you at the moment, I'm sorry. I suppose I could... make you something? If you're that interested? In receiving a reward?

[...Oh my god, who is this troll and what have they done with Eridan Ampora.]

[It's worse than he thought.]


Eridan, are... are you sure you're feeling alright?
chronomancer: (♒ the show must go on yeah)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-05 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Just peachy.

[He sticks his hands into the pockets of his jeans, arching his spine forward and shrugging a little more expressively than usual. Then he sighs.]

I'm jokin', Eq. You know, because given my track record, basic things like not dying or getting dismembered are like huge achievements?

[Oh, okay, the deadpan isn't broken. Imagine him without the deadpan.]

There ain't anythin' wrong with me, Eq.
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows> (♐ bwuh)

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Um... I suppose. If you're just. Joking.

[This is getting weirder by the minute. He half-expects the Troll Twilight Zone music to come on any minute now. The theme song begins in the middle of Eridan's thoughts, and after the end, the deadpan just gradually... melts... away...]

[Is it sad that this is kind of legitimately creepy, and he takes a moment to shudder at the thought of it? Yes? Okay, good, just making sure we're on the same page here.]


I, um, I... I think... Eridan... I think there kind of is?
chronomancer: (♒ like the wings of butterflies)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-05 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
I am.

[He tilts his head to the side.]

Okay. Why?
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows> (♐ nagadile)

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know... you're just... acting oddly?

[Pause.]

...I'm sorry. Never mind.
chronomancer: (♒ the show must go on)

I love that icon, for the record.

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-05 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay.

[He shrugs again. Again with a little more nervous energy to burn.]

Odd how?
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows>; art from tumblr (♐ ummmm)

I could probably make you one for Eridan

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow he kind of... really doesn't trust that smile. At all. So he just squirms more.]

You just... seem... more energetic, I suppose, but. Not really. [He has to think for a moment before he can come up with an answer that makes any sense.] ...Y-your body language... it's different.
chronomancer: (♒ fairytales of yesterday)

For the fussin grapevvine?

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-05 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I don't feel all that different.

[That's an outright fabrication.]
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows>; art from tumblr (♐ um. what)

Of course. Eridan's will be WEH WEH, and Dolorosa's will be FUSS FUSS

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, um, you're acting different...

[Is he just imagining things? He has to be, since Eridan disagrees, right? ...Right?]

[+1 totally confused Sagittaritroll.]
chronomancer: (Default)

Best Icon Triad Ever.

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-05 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Maybe.

[He shrugs, trying to downplay the fact he's crawling to get out of his own skin.]

I don't know, it's been a long month.
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows>; art from tumblr (♐ um. what)

Doing this. Right now.

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-05 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What happened?

[Oh god. That's right. He missed an entire month. He hadn't checked on Eridan for a month, and... oh god. Oh god.]
chronomancer: (♒ I'll soon be turning)

Perfectiong.

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-06 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nothin'.

[Eridan snorted and slouched a little.]

Kinda the fuckin' problem, actually. Kinda a bitch, too. But hey.

[He shrugged.]

At least it's done now. And not everyone died, I think. Maybe.

[Another ill-timed snort.]

To be fair, a few days more an' starvation might've actually made it to the fuckin' pool 'a things to worry about in this shithole.
mutab1e: <lj user=murkrows>; art from tumblr (♐ run)

[personal profile] mutab1e 2012-07-06 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
Starvation?

[Oh look, he's squeaking.]

Eridan, please! What happened to you all?
chronomancer: (♒ another hero)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-07-06 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The squeaking is funny, it makes Eridan grin a little. And snicker. And then he shakes his head. Whoops.]

Told you, nothin'.

[He pulled his hands out of his pockets to raise them, palms up, as he shrugged.]

No power, barely any food and a fuckload a shitty monsters to deal with. It probably sounds worse than it really was.

[Says the troll methodically starving himself all month. Right.]
