[Admittedly he was a little skeptical of this artificial recuperacoon, but after a few days the idea that he could get some sleep really tempts him. Like, really. It gets worse every day until he finally can't take it anymore and risks it. Unfortunately, Equius is a huge fuckup it goes as badly as he thought it might and does nothing but amplify the horrific nightmares that he usually gets when he tries sleeping, to the point that he starts panicking and thrashing about in his sleep. In the midst of all of this he accidentally ingests some of the sopor within the recuperacoon, though for now the freaking out midsleep thing is his main problem.]

[But later, a little while after that's all sorted out, he shows up on video. His hair isn't done so it's messy as hell and even obscuring his eyes because of the length, he has no cape, no rings, no scarf...literally the ampora version of "just dragged himself out of bed". Despite showing up on video however, he doesn't actually say anything. In fact it's like he doesn't even notice, because he's typing up text. With each keystroke, you can hear a little tap.]

[musclebeast]

[Wow, Equius actually laughs upon seeing this.]

Not here either

[caligulas_aquarium]

[HIS MIND IS CURRENTLY A PRISON

AND WITHIN SAID PRISON ERIDAN'S COMMON SENSE IS SCREAMING FOR THE BLOOD OF THE GUILTY.

EQUIUS ZAHHAK YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS.]

[ ok Aileen has been hiding her now very obviously webbed ears every chance she gets but--- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE'S SEEN ANYONE ELSE WOTH WEBBED EARS BESIDES HER LONG GONE FAMILY AND IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING AS HELL ]

[video] U OK W/ A THREADJACK??

[seamend]

[ Aileen has just discovered that seadwellers are a thing. And use this color font, so: ]

Excuse me, but are you a 'seadweller'?

[ And HUH curiously if Meenah remembers this lady, she doesn't have human ears anymore! They're green, webbed fish-type ears. There's even some green scales around the base of them. ]

[Action] ON TIME...

[speakveryclearly]

[This is the easy part. The part where she doesn't have to worry about what Eridan wats and his feelings and problems and her ignorance about all of these things and the fucking alpha timeline, let alone the fear of getting caught. All of that floats away during thee easy party. Namely, when Eridan is actually asleep. This is, not coincidentally, called by some less professional outsiders the "plastered to the window" stage.

Twilight, man.

But then suddenly she sees it. The breathing, the heartbeat, which she's been devotedly listening to (or maybe just obsessively convincing herself she's Troll Meyerpire enough to hear) suddenly - stop? They're disturbed?

She has to do something, and there's nobody around for keeping an eye on but her on him, she's alone as she sees him and the only thing standing between her and saving his life is this enormous wall--

At least before she gives said wall a hearty rainbow drinker punch, leaving a section to fall out and create a hole larger than herself to bound through, over to the recupracoon to scoop him out into her arms.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He is just such a mess right now Kanaya oh my god, but seriously that doesn't register to him right now while he's having his little sleep freakout. A few seconds after she drags him out he wakes up, startled and still a little shaky, but once he sees her and this really awkward position he puts a hand to her face and just sort of shoves.]

H-hey, what're you doin'!? Let go of me!

video

[fourscience]

Honestly, it all sounds like superstitious nonsense to me! Magic! I do not understand it, there must be a scientific explanation somewhere, yes?

But-! You seem to be in a much better mood than the last time we spoke! That is good, I think. I am glad to see that, in any case!

video

[caligulas_aquarium]

Whoa, hey, no. Nonono.

[He produces his wand and holds it up to the camera.]

Ok! Can you see this.

[bloodspeaker]

[squint. What the hell is this weird text about?]

I'm a mage, not a wizard, but I suppose that's just a matter of semantics.

[Video/Text]

[caligulas_aquarium]

exactly right
wwho cares
oh fuck yes i remembered that time
anyway magezard guy can you do magic
i will assume yes

[ima_something]

[This is... a little bit odd. She's frowning, and dear lord do all people here use these devices so casually?]

Where I come from, there is a university of wizards. They tend to study the whys of magic. The witches out in Lancre tend to be a little more practical about it, so I'm told.

[The wizards, frankly, tended to be ridiculous at the best of times.]

[Video/Text]

[caligulas_aquarium]

so it probably wasnt a big deal

[honkalypse]

[There is something wrong with this picture and he thinks he knows what that is. He recognizes things that remind him of him. FFFFF BAD BAD BAD he wants that back BAD.]

[No, Gamzee, that's not actually how addiction and dependence works.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

but aside the vomiting it really does not feel all that bad
i cant complain

[TILL HE'S OFF IT, THEN HE'S GOING TO EXPLODE.]

[punk_cute]

But, uh, magic. Well you've seen my Persona. We've always called 'em spells. I ain't the best with spells but I got a few.
