♒ 1st Video; ♒ + ♏

[After some fussing, Eridan decides that maybe video would be the best option, especially with what he has to say! So hello Johto--and Kanto, certainly hope you were ready for a screen full of Eridan’s face, and the exaggerated expression of disdain that accompanies it. There might even a bit of a pout with it! But it certainly is him for those who are familiar, black hair, pretentious purple streak, just pinkish skin instead of grey, no zigzag horns, and certainly no fins! How dreadful!]

You know, I was pretty alright where I was, sure bein’ sawed in half was hardly my ideal way to go, but I could deal with bein’ dead. Kinda got used to it after the first--fuck, I don’t ewen KNOW how long.

[He pulls the ‘gear back to let the network get a niiiice look at him.]

This howewer? Bein’ some inferior species, lackin’ horns and fins and--

Eridaaaaaaaan!

[That drawn out shout comes from somewhere out of view, but the girl responsible can soon be heard jogging over.]

Man, I thought that was you with your awful cape. And the hair. And the scarf! You're pretty hard to miss, huh?

[She ducks into view, peering at his Pokegear like it's hers to look at. Those who know Vriska might notice she's missing her glasses.]

Wris--!

[He’s certain surprised by her coming over, but then she’s putting her face all in HIS space and getting in his way! In the next moment, he’s definitely trying to push her away, palm meeting her face and shoving!]

Did I fuckin’ say you could be in this wideo? No I didn’t, get the fuck back, Serket!

Ugh, hey!

[Vriska grabs at his hand and shoves her other hand at his side, trying to win back the space she stole.]

Don't be a dick! Did you ever stop to think maybe these people want someone better to look at? What if they want to know I'm here?

--Gamzee, if you're seeing this, I've got words for you!

No one better to look at exists, Wris, and if you’re tryin’ to imply yourself, let me be the first to tell you the known uniwerses did a impossible task and made you look ewen worse than you did as a troll!

[But he’s certainly fighting her for that space, shoving and pushing and--welp he just dropped the pokegear! What a lovely view of the grass and shoes.]

Fuck--you made me drop it, you worthless hag! Also, who giwes a fin flippin' fuck about Gam--

[Unseen by the viewers, Eridan is snatching the pokegear, and in the next instant the feed cuts.]

(ooc: Blue is Vriska, violet is Eridan, both will be replying also! And there's some warnings you might want to know about Vriska, so if you would, direct yourself to her permission post, please and thank you!)

you have to admit though, blue is a pretty great color to be drowned in.
alright though, i understand. i mean we won't be over here in kanto forever so it's not like you and i will never get to see each other.
next month is jane and i's birthday so i wouldn't be surprised if we take a trip back to johto for that.
and of course, vriska. after everything you've done for me, the least i can do is keep your best interests in mind right?
i will head over to the pokemon center and transfer him to your pc then. there's one in elm's lab so you should have no trouble getting him. i'm sure he'll be glad to be back with you.
oh no no, not that big! both galvantula and ariados are about the size of small or medium dogs.

[He's a little disappointed that she won't be joining them but he can't honestly blame her. And she actually wants to see him so he can't be too upset. He's almost tempted to send her Christmas present to her along with Hunter but somehow that seems like something better left for when he sees her in person.]

[Maybe this won't be so bad, aft-- oh shit. Right. He was so distracted by various emotions and explanations that he forgot that he had a question for her too. Wtg, John.]

oh! i just remembered.
johto really likes to screw with time and when it pulls us from our world and shit. idk if aradia's explained it to you or not yet.
but what's the last thing you remember back home?

[Obviously his hope that she would be nabbed from a point where she wouldn't remember him didn't happen. But that doesn't mean that she can't still be from a point before she fell in love with him.]

[...whenever that was.]

[She kind of has been drowned in blue before, so to speak. With her mind already on thoughts of her lusus it's kind of hard not to think of, but she shoves it away to read the rest.]

8etter than a 8unch of 8oring old grey everywhere.
Funny, Aradia's 8een pestering me to pick a human 8irthday now that I'm one of you.
How old are you going to 8e?
May8e it will 8e appropri8 when I first met you on your 8irthday, too.
I'll 8e sure to stop 8y the la8 then.
And that's a relief!

[--is what she's been typing, when the second message comes through. She pauses, then with message unsent adds her answer onto the text.]

Uuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
It's like I told Kanaya, I really AM going to 8e complaining a8out this all day. >::::(
It wasn't "8ack home", really. In fact, I was in Jane's session.
You can thank Megido for explaining things to me, even if it took forever to drag the info out of her.
8ut anyway, what happened was that Gamzee had somehow gotten to her land with Tavros' 8ody and mine, and he dumped them into her sprite.
I don't know if 8eing a sprite sounds that 8ad to you, and may8e it would have 8een almost okay if not for 8eing com8ined with Tavros.
It turns out our personalities are COMPLETELY incompati8le. We were just one awful mass of dispar8 tr8s and thoughts, h8ing each other and ourself, with no clue which thought came from what part.
It was like having your think pan try to tear itself apart, which it literally did only a few minutes later.
Or, technically, it exploded.
Then I woke up in that hive with that deluded woman who called herself my mother? I'm going to guess you don't know what's up with that either.
Unless I was just particularly unlucky.

uhh

[Gamzee, what.......]

ok well i will be fifteen, you should pick a birthday, and mom is just delusional or something. she thinks everyone who comes here is her child.
it probably has something to do with the video game aspect of pokemon.
and with that stuff out of the way...

Edited 2013-03-05 22:00 (UTC)

what?
no seriously, what the hell?

[This game is so fucked up.]

I don't know!!!!!!!!
I do not have the faintest fucking clue, John.
You think it's 8izarre to read a8out, 8ut it was even weirder going through it.
God, I'm never going to forget that.

8TW, I picked Novem8er 8th.

i can only
no. that's a lie. i can't even imagine that.
spriting a person and an animal or something is one thing but two people?
what was he think
no not going to finish that one either.
because i am guessing this was gamzee after he loses it completely, right?

making a note of it right now.
your birthday, i mean.
though i will admit you surprised me. i was guessing you would pick august 8th. :P

No shit!
You don't even know. I think he got MORE crazy somehow.
I don't know how to explain that outfit he was wearing otherwise.
He's not even god tier, so what the fuck.
If August is the eighth month, though, that was my first thought!
8ut Megido told me that would put me as having Nepeta's sign, so I changed my mind and picked a Scorpio day.

crazy tier, perhaps?
oh and just to get it out of the way because i'm sure it will come up in some way or another: i was brought here kind of early in the adventure. especially compared to everybody else. i hadn't even gotten jade into the game yet.
so there are a lot of things i don't know. though past-you, rose, and karkat have tried to fill me in on stuff so i'm not completely blind.
oh right! i didn't think about the zodiac. makes sense.

That is pretty much it exactly.
Wow, though. You haven't even gone reached god tier yet, have you?
I don't know all what they told you, 8ut I could fill in the gaps for my part if you ask.
Not that I stayed on the meteor long. Looks like you already knew that part.

nope, i sure haven't.
not that it matters much here.
i did know that though, yes. last time you were here it was right after terezi stabbed you.
so the whole not on the meteor thing was kind of implied there.
but i know about god tiering, rose going off the grimdark deep end, my dad, the scratch, splitting up for three years to head to the new session...not that i have an idea what i'm up to doing those three years.
jade's stuck in the same place i am and she's the only one who would know so we're both in the dark about any and all travel adventures.

Okay. You know the 8ig stuff then.
All I've 8een doing is wandering around the dream 8u88les until Gamzee pulled that stunt earlier.
8ut I did see you.
Altern8 you, I mean. You remem8er when Terezi tricked you into dying?
Or........ what happened in your timeline instead?
That's the one.

Edited 2013-03-06 05:21 (UTC)

oh yeah that's right! i keep forgetting that she did that.
or tried to do it.
whatever. dave came back, sprited himself, and stopped me from being dumb.
that is basically what happened instead.
i didn't realize there were alternate mes around though.
then again i don't really know much about the dream bubbles. just that the meteor has passed through a lot of them and they met a bunch of dead teenage-ancestor ghost trolls.
i didn't realize there would be dead alternate mes in there though.
so i guess that means we have both met each other in person already, huh?

John, I already knew that!
The surprise noodle was not meant to ask for an explanation.
8ut there are SO many altern8 people around, from all sorts of timelines, where all sorts of things went different.
Did you know Aradia had a whole army of altern8 Aradias she used as our time player?
Now imagine that eeeeeeeevery doomed timeline there ever was had their players wind up in the dream 8u88les. That's pretty much how it works.
And yeah, sort of.
To 8e honest I was kind of disappointed you didn't remem8er me at first.
8ut we got to know each other again, so it wasn't too 8ad.
Haha, we even d8ted for a while.

[Woah that is a lot of alternate doomed ghos-- wait hold up.]

[Haha, we even d8ted for a while.]

[d8ted for a while.]

[d8ted]

we did? er...he did? and you?
uhm
well how did that go?
if that's not a horribly awkward question to ask.

[Because that is the important thing here, clearly.]

You are 8eing so transparent right now it's kind of adora8le. ::::)
No need to 8e nervous. It went fine!
And it's not an awkward question.
We just didn't work out in the end, no 8ig deal, so we 8roke up.
We kept in contact afterward and met up now and then.
Until he died, at least. 8ut from what Aradia tells me future me's got a plan to deal with that situ8tion.

Edited 2013-03-06 23:08 (UTC)

it's just healthy curiosity!
i mean what if alternate doomed other me did something dumb that impacted our friendship? it's a perfectly reasonable thing to be curious about.

[Though now she has him feeling like he should tell her about the whole moirail thing. Why is teenage romance so complicated?]

actually, to tell you the truth i am a little relieved.
because rose and i are dating and last time you were here you uh...yeah.
basically rejecting you once was bad enough and it's not something i wanted to have to go through again.

[WHY CAN'T HE BE CASUAL AND NONCHALANT ABOUT THIS LIKE VRISKA? Seriously, it shouldn't be this hard and this is pretty much the perfect time to bring it up. Since they're talking about it and all.]

[You can do it dude. You can--]

wait he died? i thought he was ALREADY dead.

[Smooth.]

Caaaaaaaalm doooooooown.
If he jeopardized our friendship somehow do you think I'd 8e talking this casually to you?
If anything, I would have made sure you knew, either out of anger or to make sure you didn't fuck up!
Congrats on you and Lalonde, though.
Guess you've got a thing for light players? :::;)
And he was!
He died again.
This 8ig green alien dude Aradia told me is called Lord English killed him and a 8unch of other dead people.

well when you put it that way...yeah i guess.
i did get a little worried for nothing, huh?
just a little bit though!! i am still completely calm over here.
thanks though.
but you are right about that. i am rather fond of my ladies of the light. ;)[Now...how the hell to word this?]

which you technically used to be last time you were here.
like...more than in the friendly sense of the words.
like in the pale sense of the words.
just thought you should know.
also i did not know that ghosts could die twice.

[Look see? We can be cool and casual about this just like Vriska! Okay pressing send now before he has the chance to second guess this.]

[ . . . ]

W8, pale?
As in... moirails?

[Oh. wait, he asked another thing, shit, add that on. Good thing she types fast.]

I didn't know either!
Not until it happened.
I'm still not sure how exactly it works, 8ut that part doesn't matter if the end result is still dead ghosts.

yeah.
pale as in moirails.
that's good to know though, i guess.
we can't die here but if by some chance i ever do manage to become a ghost i will be sure to watch out for my undead mortality.

[Why are they still talking about double dead ghosts?]

Edited 2013-03-07 00:09 (UTC)

Huh.
I........ never thought of things that way.
I didn't even know you would 8e interested in quadrants. Though I guess moirallegiance might 8e less weird than others to a human.

[There's a pause, as she debates something.]

Should I ask how it ended?
If not, that's fine too.
It doesn't even m8tter really.

well to tell you the truth i'm really not that interested in quadrants. like not in the sense of gotta fill 'em all.
i still don't get the whole kissmehatefist thing and the other thing with the hate threeway makes even less sense to me.
even though moirallegiance really isn't so strange from a human's standpoint, like you said, it still wasn't something i had considered ever being a part of until you asked.

it ended when you left.
obviously it doesn't work with only one person so...that was that.
just so we're clear though, i am not expecting for us to just pick things back up now that you're back.
you don't remember anything so that wouldn't really be fair.
as long as we are still friends that is good enough for me.
