[Oh look folks, it's Eridan, seated and with his expression exactly the same as the icon depicts.

He spends a few moments in silence, just staring really.]

You're paranoid, they said. Are you alwways this wwhiny?, they said. Stop makin' up problems that aren't really there, they said.

Wwell felloww...no, not felloww, but, let me say this much those a' you so assured nothin' wwas gonna happen or come about from these guys bein' untrustwworthy.

Knoww that I take no pleasure in sayin' this, bu--wwell, wwho am I kiddin', a' course I do.

[He clears his throat, pauses, and thennnnnnn...]

I told you so.

[That is all. Admittedly he hadn't really 'worked out' anything through sheer intuition or intelligence, he was just a paranoid jerk and luckily for him things worked out purely by coincidence.

So of course he's not going to miss the chance to pretend he knew all along.]

Help wwith that.

...

Please tell me this is some kind a' wweird form a' humor I'm just not gettin'.

[punk_cute]

You got any better ideas on how to help dig us outta this mess? I'm ready to listen and help you out if you do.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Rrrright.

Listen. I'm all for helpin' out wwith the wwar effort if it means I get to kill things an' lead like I wwas meant to. In fact as sparse as any a' the fightin' has actually been since I got here, it wwas pretty good that one time. I'm hopin' for a lot a' that dowwn the line.

But I'm not degradin' myself into doin' any a' that wwartime meal cookin' relief bullshit, got it? It's totally beneath me.

Besides wwhich evven if I don't help you're gonna do it anywway, so.

[punk_cute]

Yeah, you're right about the last part. Thought you might want part of the credit for it, man. You know, get people to start maybe thinkin' you ain't just somebody who complains about shit. So the next time you tell 'em things, they'd actually listen?

[He's half convinced this won't work, and it's a little untruthful for his tastes, but, eh, worth a try.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Like I givve a damn wwhat they think. [Despite the fact that's what the whole post was about...]

There're people here wwho knoww I'm the real deal. The rest'll either learn soon enough or be gone so soon it wwon't matter wwhat they think. That's howw I see it.

So I don't care.

[punk_cute]

Gonna call bullshit on you not caring, Eridan.

But if you don't wanna help, that's fine. I'll save you a plate, 'cause I bet you're not gonna want to come around when the crowd's there.

[SUBJECT CHANGE SUBJECT CHANGE]

Wwhat did you make, anywway?

[punk_cute]

No problem.

And I'm making curry. Not quite done with it yet but it shouldn't take too long.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...

Wwhat the hell is curry?

[punk_cute]

Vegetables and meat in a sauce and put over rice. Pretty common where I come from.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[...meat.

Meat is good yes.]

Alright, sure. I'll come by once evverythin' is done an' ovver wwith.

[ooc: so i'm thinking i'll comment in the post you made about everyone getting some food and we'll just say it's after everyone left, that cool?]

[punk_cute]

I shouldn't take too long then!

((ooc: First sorry this is so late. And second, yeah that works!))
