[It takes a bit for Eridan to finally make a post about this, because his emotions just ain't doing too hot. Definitely sticking to text, because he doesn't trust his face right now...]

Yo, Ampora.
RL's room is open to you if you want it.

[And that's really all he has to say for the moment. He's disappointed Karkat's gone, but other than thinking he wasn't a bad dude, he doesn't have too many connections to either of them that weren't trolling the hell out of them when he got the chance to a while ago.]

[unconchonable]

[Honestly, Eridan wonders if he should even reply, not sure if he has the emotional energy to. Rox is asleep, Karkat's gone. He's fairly sure the universe has it out for him.]

thanks
but i aint too sure howw much my unconscious moirail wwill help me at the moment
it wwould servve more as a sore reminder a howw much the fuckin knoww UNIVVERSE likes to fuckin shit on me

Re: [text]

[shippingmath]

Fuck if I know, dude, I don't have a moirail.
Write her a note or shit for when she wakes up.

[It's what he's done.]

[unconchonable]

i might
i did for kar before wwhen he decided to take a nap for far longer than id evver agree to let him

[A brief pause and then:]

howw do you humans get by wwithout a moirail wwhen shit gets dowwnright horrible
i knoww your species aint as capable as mine wwhen it comes to wwanton destruction but i aint meanin that
more so meanin wwell you knoww wwhen youre dowwnright fuckin depressed-like and you aint got no one to tell you to shut up and that things wwill get better evven if thats utter claptrap

[thekidsare0kay]

[Wow, he feels. Really shitty right now. But Sollux wasn't in a quadrant with Karkat - he's sure Eridan feels even worse.

There's just one thing to do.]

20 are y0u g0ing t0 2it there and m0pe like a grub wh0 2hit hi2 diaper 2tub2?

[unconchonable]

[Honestly, he appreciates the effort, but he's not sure if he can so quickly switch from grieving to something more appropriate for their quadrant...]

maybe
wwhat the fuck do you care

[thekidsare0kay]

[Come on, now. Hatred is the best medicine for grief!]

i d0n't.
but it'2 pathetic, y0u kn0w.
2pewing y0ur feeling2 all 0ver like any0ne care2.
g0 find a m0irail, 0r 20mething.

[unconchonable]

[Sollux will probably have to yank him out of Karkat's room to be honest. This is just too much sads for one Eridan.]

WWOWW fuck off sol
ill givve you the benefit a the doubt and say you wwere unawware but my fuckin MOIRAIL IS IN A GODDAMN COMA RIGHT NOWW
so yeah let me go fuckin talk to her unconcious body wwhat a stellar idea
fuck off

[onlyasign]

[That's two of his "sons" in as many days. You're not the only one the universe is fucking with, Eridan.]

SHIT.

[unconchonable]

yeah shits a pretty good wword for it
you can evven go wwith fuck damn goddamn and wwhy fuckin me
all good

[onlyasign]

I'M SORRY, ERIDAN. DO YOU NEED ANYTHING? DO YOU WANT ME TO SEND DUALSCAR OVER?

[unconchonable]

the only thing i need is wwhat evveryone in this damn bubble is powwerless to givve me
and i dunno i dont think dualscar wwould wwant to deal wwith me in this dowwnright pathetic fuckin state a emotional turmoil

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[All this shit going down... Roxy's coma, that horrible curse, Maka's boyfriend leaving... but this? She can't really accept this. The one thing she never thought she'd see... It's like losing Zelda all over again. Karkat was the first to talk with her after she arrived. He's always been their rock, their leader, and now?]

[ She doesn't respond for quite a while. She saw the name list on the network. As much as she want to yell and ask and make sure he's sure, that this isn't some sort of sick joke... She knows what this is. Eridan's matesprit is gone. Her best friend is gone. ]

Eridan
I Would Like To Talk With You
In Person

[unconchonable]

i dunno if thatd be a good idea i aint exactly presentable

[sylphauxiliatrix]

I Am Not Surprised By That At All
But Still I Must Insist
Im In No Shape To See Anybody Either But I Want To
Anybody Who Was Feeling Half As Shitty As I Am Right Now Would Benefit From The Company Of A Friend
And We Both Know That Even As Much As Karkats Disappearance Is Distressing Me
Theres No Way Its Not Affecting You Worse

[Yup, sure did straight up call him a friend there. She used the term once before when describing Eridan to a third party, but this is the first time she's called him that to his face since the meteor.]

[unconchonable]

[He stares at the text for a few long moments. Did she... Did she really? She called him her friend. Wow, Kanaya, way to mess the boy up some, giving him some positive feelings in this swirl of negativity, like he isn't a mess of emotions as it is!]

youre right its affection me somethin fierce and i got half the pan to go do somethin stupid i may regret because of it
but maybe some good company from a old friend wwill keep me from doin somethin completely idiotic
the doors open

[Eridan certainly isn't the only one missing Karkat right now. But where Eridan has chosen to be mopey about it, Gamzee has swung wildly over to the other side of extreme, and slightly misplaced, optimism. Denial would perhaps be a better word for it. Denial that Karkat might not be coming back, that he might end up moirail-less, cause that ain't any sort of possibility that gives him peace to be contemplating it so he doesn't. He just really really really seriously really doesn't. Because quite frankly, he doesn't trust his reaction otherwise.]

[unconchonable]

[Eugh, Gamzee he cannot even handle such blind optimism! It honestly makes his stomach hurt, because his own pessimism won't allow him to be that hopeful.]

yeah and remember last time
i mean sure it wworked out in the end
but wwhat if he comes back hatin me or somethin
wwhat if he doesnt remember anythin
god theres so many fuckin things that could go wwrong wwith him disappearin and reappearin
i wwant him back but fuck if i aint wworried wwhat could come of it
he should havve stayed he should havve nevver disappeared it aint fuckin fair gam it fuckin AINT

Re: [text]

[But optimism is basically the best thing ever. I means pretending there aren't any unhappy things in the world that would get to making you all sad at things.]

Ah.
I Am Sorry To Hear That, Young One.

[And she is, having become quite fond of the ornery young troll. That, along with Sola also being gone, makes this all the worse.]

I Know That You Have Little Reason To Require Anything Of Me, But Should You Need Anything That I Can Provide, You Have Only To Ask.

[unconchonable]
