[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!)

That's the part a8out human romance that escapes me.
Having only one quadrant filled I get. I've 8een there. Still, I would want to fill the others eventually.
8ut nope, no trou8le like that.
Well, okay. So one chick got kinda fed up with me.
I didn't know her, though, and she didn't know me either. No harm done!
You seeeeeeee? That's exactly what I meant.

i'm sure one day you will.
oh, one person i know who will definitely remember you and be glad to see you back again is the other father.
not sure if you've heard from him yet. tall guy, brown hair, wears glasses.
speaks in a sing-song voice, you'll know him when you see him.
and yes, you were right. as always. :P

anyway, now that potential awkwardness has been neatly chopped in half and done away with we can get back to the pokemon stuff it you want.
and the human stuff, now that i think of it.
unless aradia or somebody beat me to that.

John, I don't think I've met any kind of father.
How can there 8e an "other" father?
Can't you just use his name????????
Not Aradia, 8ut Kanaya told me there's unpleasant stuff a8out 8eing a human.
Not what, though. She said it could w8, whatever it is.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Oh. Would you like to see my Joltik?

uh well...that IS his name, is the thing.
it's a little strange but basically in his world, every child has a second set of parents to take care of them if their real ones don't/won't.
they are the other mother and the other father.
so basically he's everyone's dad if you ever need him!
ah well then...if you want to wait for kanaya to explain it to you since she's a girl and it's kind of a girl thing, that's fine.
it's nothing really terrible exactly, like you aren't going to die or anything. but it can be a little shocking if you don't know it's coming.
i would love to see your joltik though.

Weird!
I've never had a father in the first place, o8viously. I can't really imagine what it's like.
Or why I'd need one.
I guess I could w8?
I haven't got a clue what it's a8out, 8ut if it would 8e too weird for you, I'll spare you from having to explain.
Anyway!

[There's a pause, mostly spent trying to coax the stubborn spider out onto her hand, but she manages it. The video flicks on to show the Joltik sat in her palm.]

Finally. Okay. This is Minifang. Minifang, meet John.

--John, turn on your camera!

ok ok, hold on! give me a sec.

[And a moment later the video feed clicks on. Aside from switching his wardrobe for a purple, Haunter-fied version of Vriska's original get up, John doesn't really look much different than the last time Vriska would have seen him. It's almost hard to believe it's really been two years for him. On one shoulder sits a shiny Litwick, while a Lampent bobs next to his head, staring at the screen intently.]

Hey, Minifang! It's nice to meet you. You're not driving Mama Vriska too crazy yet, are you?

[Oh no cutie spider. SO TINY TOO CUTE CAN'T DEAL.]

[Oh man, other pokemon. The spider bristles up, chirring tiks at the screen and turning on her trainer's palm to face the Litwick, then the Lampent. It's meant to be aggressive and challenging and awesome, but it's probably just adorable. She even waves her little front legs around--]

[--until Vriska taps a finger to her back.]

They're not even close to here, stupid. If you want to challenge them it will have to happen way later. You aren't even leveled. What are you going to do, spark at them until they give up?

[Minifang gives a jol, a bit sulky. So she was excited! Gosh. An almost polite joltik, jol follows to John, while Vriska looks back at him.]

John, I'm not her "mama" or anything like it. I'm her trainer! I cannot even fathom the act of being a human mother. Much less to a spider.

Who are those two you've got with you?

[Yup. Definitely adorable. The Lampent gives the closest approximation to a ghostly giggle, waving her curly arms at Minifang in return. The Litwick remains silent, looking back and forth between the screen and his evolved companion. It's okay, Minifang. He's not very leveled yet either, he would totally play with you if you and your master were closer.]

Hehe, you'd be surprised how some of them may end up viewing you. And hey, at least spiders can't talk back like kids can. Anyway, this is Chandel [A gesture to the Lampent.] and Earl Grey [And to the Litwick.]

They are a Lampent and Litwick, respectively. Though Earl Grey is what they call a shiny. Typically Litwicks have purple flames and gold eyes instead of blue flames and yellow eyes.
