[The feed turns on to none other than Eridan, and from the looks of the surrounding area, he's outside of town. He looks indignantly at the camera, before rolling his eyes and looking at something off screen.]

I'm sure the lot a you hawe missed my face ewer so much, an' I can't blame you, so here, hawe a completely uncalled for and exorbitant treat on my most generous behalf.

[Yeah he's going to allow you all a few seconds to just take in the beauty that is himself... before glancing back to the camera a moment later.]

But, to the matter at hand, I didn't just make this post to spoil you underserwin' lot, after all. To state it plainly, I'm bored outta my fuckin' pan, and so I'we decided I'll try this retarded, let alone, WORTHLESS trial a badges, an' as such I got a few questions for those with the complete facilities to answer 'em.

So respond to this immediately, I ain't gonna ask 'em forthright and hawe a bunch a sniwelin' idiots tryin' to tell me a bunch a misinformation and thus I make some mistakes due to whatewer unintelligible babble is slung my way. I'll be determinin' if you're worth askin' or not wia how you approach me.

[A beat.]

So come on, I ain't got all bloody day, hop to it.

[[There's a bit of decision making as she tries to decide if it'd be worth it replying to this or not...before finally she does.]]

How magnanimous of you, Eridan. We are truly lucky to have you around.

[thevveribest]

You are.

Howewer, with you bein' you, I ain't got any questions for you to answer. I'm well aware you got no beneficial interest towards me.

[tentacletrainer]

Really? Nothing? But I am simply full of information! Oh how I could help you with your questions!

[timelymaid]

Well, I'm always around if you wanted to ask me about it?

But Eridan, you really should work on how you ask people things! Although this wasn't as bad as it could have been I suppose! But saying please would go a long way, I think. And also asking more than ordering! That would also help.

[thevveribest]

I ain't sayin' please to a bunch of worthless sandfuckers, Ara. Besides, orderin' is the language landdwellers respond to best, you an' I both know that.

But alright, you'we prowen to be useful to me before, so I'll ask you some things. Now, for all this gym business, is there any particular order I should be doin' this in, or does it not fuckin' matter at all where I start?

[timelymaid]

Has ordering any of us around ever worked for you? [ She sound legitimately curious about this. Aside from Equius, she's fairly certain none of them has ever really accommodated that. Well, she doesn't really care one way or the other if it happens to be something she was going to do anyway, but...that's not the same thing. ]

I bet you'd get lots more positive responses if you said please! You should try it sometime! It won't make you explode or anything!

That depends. What does your roster look like these days?

[Have someone that knows absolutely nothing about badges save that they apparently don't always work.]

Mister, when asking for advice, it's usually not the best plan to be insulting about it. Most people would just be insulting right back and that wouldn't help you at all.

[There was a brief pause.]

Or you'll get answers like mine which won't help either because I don't have any advice for you.

[thevveribest]

I don't beliewe I was askin' about how to ask for adwice, and seein' how you'we got nothin' to use to tell me, it's fuckin' bewilderin' you are ewen wastin' your time, let alone my own.

[Eridan gives no shiiiits.]

Video

[thecalmone]

[He grimaced, then sighed, giving him an apologetic look.]

It's not really wasting time to give or get advice freely offered, is it? Even if you you decide not to use it, I felt you should know, that's all.

[Jaime just stares for a moment. Was this guy for real?]

Is this how you always ask for help?

Video;

[thevveribest]

Are you always fuckin' useless?

[stfuscarab]

[R U D E.]

No, actually. Just to you, apparently.

[tendered]

I don't get it. [ She pauses, not really sure how to phrase it. ] I can't really find the treat. [ .....Yep. That's her failure. ]

But I can probably answer a couple of things about the gym, if you want to ask about that.

video

[thevveribest]

Then there's no hope for you. [He might look a little bit offended. How could you NOT see the treat in taking in his wonderful visage!?]

Well, tell me this, hawe you won any badges? I can't be takin' any adwice from someone who got their non-horns handed to them, after all.

video

[tendered]

I don't know. I'm a pretty hopeful person. [ She doesn't notice his offense. Even if she did, she wouldn't really get it. ]

I haven't won badges, but I've witnessed gym battles and gave strategies that were very effective in gaining badges! I don't pursue it, but I know a lot about it.

[usedshooshpap]

I think I liked it better when you were under the delusion that the badges would call forth the eternal dragonite to take us home.

[thevveribest]

I -- what?

[video]

[riastrad_ridire]

...So what kinda washing machine are you sitting on to make you talk like that?

[i'm so sorry for him. i really am.]

[video]

[thevveribest]

Oh look at this, someone mockin' my wonderful accent, who is surprised by this turn of ewents, not I, that's for certain. And here I thought such jokes would be laid to rest by now, but I suppose simple pleasures for simple minds, and all.

[belphe]

[She could listen to you talk all day, Eridan. Probably not without laughing, but still...]

I've challenged two leaders so far and won both with little issue...perhaps I can offer some assistance.

[thevveribest]

[Well you're in luck, he could talk all day if he wanted to! Though, he'd be offended from the laughing.]

Show me your badges then, 'cos I ain't about to take someone's word for it. I want good adwice, after all.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

Hahahaha, you're completely ridiculous. [This just made his day. Karkat is already weighing in but he just makes himself comfortable with a mug of coffee in hand. Terrible swill that it is, but it grew on him.]

Alright, fine. Since Aradia is tossing in her two cents, I'll side with team time player and give you a bit of help. Ask away.

[Video]

[thevveribest]

[Have a flat look Strider. Also coffee tastes like ass, tea is far superior.]

And what makes you think I'd take anythin' you hawe to offer with a grain a salt? Especially if the ONLY reason you're willin' to help me is because Ara is.

[SO MUCH DISTRUST FOR PEOPLE FROM HIS OWN UNIVERSE. BEING HIM IS PRETTY GR8]

[onelevelnicer]

Can you say "jerk" with a capital J?

[thevveribest]

Oh. You know what letter jerk starts with? Fan-fuckin'-tastic, except for the part where that isn't what this is about. So, do you have something useful to add, or are you just joinin' the rest in bein' absolutely fuckin' useless?
