24th ♒ [video]
[The feed turns on and certainly shows none other than the Sufferer. And though his hair is a remarkable mess, it's noticeably not as messy as usual. Eridan hasn't fully had the chance to fix it yet, but man it will be on his top priority. His body or not, he cannot have hair that is looking a damn mess!]
Alright, so it's this bloody curse again, let's make this easy shall we? How about you lot show your faces to me and tell you who you are so I don't get anyone mixed up. I'll start off in sayin' this is Eridan, now do me the damn courtesy a doin' the same.
Honestly, this curse is such a fuckin' pain. I mean, sure, Sufferer's body ain't so bad, but--
[He lifts up one of the robotic hands, giving it an indignant scowl.]
I dunno if the trade off of gainin' an eye for this is one I want. But whatewer, at least it's fuckin' temporary.
((ooc: gently backdated to early yesterday)
[VIDEO]
[Hello Eridan. There is this guy, with the stripes in his hair, and the gold eyes, frowning intently at his screen. His eyelid twitches.]
Did you have to make this post before fixing your hair? Don't make up any bullshit about this being more important, or not being able to, because you know full fucking well that taming absolute sprawling mops of hair is well within your personal ability to accomplish, which you should have fucking done before subjecting us to that abomination on top of your presently borrowed scalp. I know those hands are still functional, and you know exactly what products can do what, now fix it.
[VIDEO]
[That certainly is a robot hand flipping you off.]
And second off, the state of this mop is a no concern a yours. I got my talents in hair stylin', but fuck yourself right off a bloody cliff if you think I gotta snap to it when you throw some fuckin' hissy fit, you stripe-haired, pink-skinned little cretin.
[VIDEO]
[Karkat snarls, which is pretty ridiculous coming from this relatively human-looking body.]
Reality itself weeps in front of hair like that, horrorterrors cringe in fear, and even Gamzee would agree you have gone too far.
[No he wouldn't, but he has to express his indignation somehow.]
If I fell off a cliff, fate would twist itself such that I landed on its safest, softest outcropping, mysteriously devoid of harm, because it would know as surely as I do that I'm right about this.
Also, it's Karkat, so don't go calling me some cretin, you dick.

[Look, it's a very familiar face staring back. Except... wow, has Eridan ever smiled this much? Did he drink the same Moirail Aid as Horuss? Oh wait, it's just Sufferer, of course he's going to be smiling like a sap, regardless of the body he's currently wearing.]
[His hair is also nowhere near up to Eridan's high standards. It's close, since Kid fixed it for him earlier, but it's already starting to get messy, almost as though the conscience animating the body is pushing up through the hair roots and making a giant mess.]
Do you mind if I take your body swimming? I want to try your gills!
video
[AUUUUUGH.]
Yeah fine, whatewer, I'm sure this is quite the luxury for you, while I'm left with your shitty metal claws.
video
[So totally unbothered by seadweller hissy fits.]
Thanks! If you want to go swimming this week, you'll need to wear gloves over your hands, or they'll short out and then Darkleer will have to fix them. It makes him cranky when you ask, though, so it'd be better for everyone if you just wore the gloves.
video
[The best approach to the hissy fits is to ignore them, so good job!]
I think I can deal with not swimmin' for a week. Ewen if I fucked your hands up, I'd likely just deal before I'd ask that hulkin' mass of idiocy for any help. Doubt he would help me anyway.
video
No, he'd help you, if only because Summoner would get mad at him if he didn't.
video
Feh, ewen more reason to awoid askin' him. I don't like associatin' myself with their kind.
video
[Think carefully about how you answer this, Eridan, and remember who you're talking to.]
[filtered video]
[Oh look, it's Rose Lalonde. Except of course it isn't, given the curse.]
This is Kanaya. Yet again I've been targeted in way too personal of a manner. The curses seem to have it out for me as of late. If it gets any worse I might begin to suspect the Head Nurse of using them as a way of blackrom flirtation or something.
[filtered video]
I didn't realize the witch was here. Guess I'll hawe to keep a look out for when someone less reasonable garners her body back.
[Yes that's a somewhat compliment.]
Feh, the fuckin' Head Nurse is the biggest hate-slut I know. I'm sure she's gettin' quite the laugh at my situation as well! Now that Kar an' I are takin' a bit of a break for him to sort things out, she's gotta taunt me by giwin' me his ancestor's fuckin' body.
[filtered video]
Quite. Like I said, this is a bit personal too. Apparently from the point she came from Rose and I have become an Item. So she arrived here and met me, expecting a relationship that really didn't exist. She didn't take it well, and we haven't talked since.
And now this curse. We've been avoiding each other, but this is going to force the issue. I have to agree. Fuckin' Head Nurse.
[filtered video] for icons...
But whatewer, you're in better hands now that you're with my moirail, she's much more deserwin' a your red affections than Fakemage ewer was.
[Yes, because complaining about her is clearly the way to make Kanaya feel better. A+]
no subject
I am sure your assessment is entirely without bias.
But really, I don't have a thing for her. I think. I mean, I did, to a degree, a long while ago. I was certainly interested in her, when we were all trapped on the meteor, but that was almost a sweep ago for me. I'm with Roxy now.
[Still though, it scaring her just how unsure she is about this. That one sentence, 'I think', was more of an admission than she knows. She's really afraid that she's using her feelings for Roxy hide what she might feel for Rose.
