Attention citizens.

You havve made the stupendous mistake of kidnappin one Commander Orphaner Dualscar, destroyer a wworlds an' scourge a the stars.

In light a your obvvious ignorance, and the admittedly pleasant surroundins, I'll be generous. You havve half an hour to explain wwhere I am, howw I got here, and wwhy, and to showw me the exit. It's the ocean, I can make my owwn wway from there.

I'm wwaiting. Don't fuckin disappoint me.

One last wwarnin: I'm not a vvery patient troll.

[OOC: I'm happy to do action tags/prose in the comments, too. Anyone who wants to run into him in person can find him wandering the main thoroughfare around the Lamufao, using his starfish phone thingy to monitor the network]

[It... feels wrong to type the words, to talk about the hemospectrum like that after he's hardwired himself to speak on prejudice and bigotry and so forth. To meet society's standards, to meet the expectations that would follow his ancestor's legacy, to be a fine goddamn seadweller. But months of a moirallegiance with Karakt and now his matespritship? He knows he has to change, has to work on this shit, and even if this is locked, he can't allow himself to be sneaky. But god is it ever fucking difficult to live up to those standards, when he feels and knows this is the exact fucking opposite of what he "should" be doing. Fuck.]

[Dualscar can barely believe what he's reading. Eridan is only a child, and he gave the impression of being a relatively weak one at the outset, but children are children, and he was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, give him a chance to prove himself and mould him into an effective tool.

But this throws him completely for a loop. He stares at the words for several minutes before typing a reply]

Destroyed.
No one has bothered to mention this to me until noww.
