[ this would be the Gear clicking on. pure audio, but the distinct press of buttons with clear sounds of irritation ( grunting, muttered curses ) can be heard over the feed. ]

The fuck does this shit even work...

[And then there’s the distinct sound of someone else, a haughty HUFF before:]

Who the fuck cares, Kar? Let’s just get goin’ already, I hardly want to wait around while you futz with that infernal dewice.

[ hear that? it’s an irritable sigh. ]

Fuck you, Ampora. If you’d actually use your goddamn think pan for two seconds instead of just doing whatever the taintchafing fuck you want, then maybe you’d realize that we need to get information before blindly jumping into the clusterfuck that is this shithole!

Besides. The map says you’re going the wrong fucking way. Great navigational skills you have there, genius.

[Oops a snarl!]

Fuck your map and fuck whoewer you’re tryin’ to contact, we don’t need their help! Not to mention, if they’re the same as the ones in this tiny as fuck town we’re in, they’re HUMANS. Are you honestly goin’ to ask some fuckin’ sandsuckin’ HUMANS for help Kar? Thought you had more pride in bein’ a troll than that.

Guess I was wrong.

[ a hard clunk as the Gear hits the ground. sounds like someone threw it and there’s a rustle of fabric as Karkat is grabbing Eridan by the scarf. ]

If we’re here, fuckass, then the other members of our team could be too! Are they not worthy of trying to fucking contact either, grubtard? If I recall, you were the one practically begging me on your hands and fucking knees about traveling together in the first place.

[There’s a twin to that rustle of clothes as Eridan mirrors the gesture to Karkat’s own shirt, because fuck this, he’s not gonna let Karkat put his hands all over his clothes with some sort of retaliation!]

First off, get your grubby fuckin’ mits off my scarf! But second off, sure whatewer they MIGHT be here. And if they aren’t? We got a bunch a fuckin’ humans thinkin’ we’re some pathetic helpless species needin’ their help and guidance, fuck that and fuck you! I HARDLY did anythin’ so dramatic, dirtscrapper!

Eridan, you are the very essence of dramatic, you cape wearing douchebag. And so what if they’re humans? We’ve been fucking relying on humans ever since -

[ and he cuts himself off. ]

That shit was on, you know.

What? What was on?

[ in that moment Karkat lets Eridan go and picks up the Gear. have some noise while he waves it on. ]

It’s on you raving brinesucker!

Oh. [This is said very flatly with unamused realization.]

Well, turn it the fuck off, you stupid fuck!

What the hell are you calling me stupid for!? You’re the one that was so fucking insistent on me paying attention to you and your fin faced needs!

[ BUT HE TURNS IT OFF ANYWAY ]

[SURE IS CONFUSION IN HERE.]

You, Karkat, and Gamzee apparently departed a few days ago.

And... now... you're back. At least two of you, anyway.

Oh.

Yeah, I keep hearin' we'we been here before, I don't know if I fuckin' beliewe it, since I hawe hardly any fuckin' recollection a this place AT ALL. Hawe to admit, glad that idiot Gam ain't here, he'd be more than a fuckin' handful, that's for fuckin' sure.

For what it is worth, I have apparently been here before as well and don't recall any of it. Don't get snappy with me so quickly, Eridan.

[that's asking for a lot, hurrdurr]

I'll get snappy with you if I want to, rustblood.

We all have the same color blood here. That statement is invalid.

Yeah right, you wish.

[PESHAW, like he's gonna believe that! This world is rude, but that's taking this shit to an all new low!]

It's not that I wish. I just happen to know.

You'll see for yourself sooner or later.

[And to think she considered for a second turning around and going to get them. lol]

This place took my horns and my fins, if it has the outright IMPERTINENCE to take my fuckin' blood color, well, that's fuckin' downright unforgiwable. But I doubt that's the case, you're just pullin' my fuckin' fin here. I know bullshit when I hear it, Ara, don't think I'm gonna fall for your filthy fraudulence.

[Man, Eridan has this uncanny ability to ward people off, wonder how he does it.]

Edited 2011-10-03 12:38 (UTC)

They didn't "take" anything. They somehow managed to turn everyone into one of those human creatures.

So don't blame it on me...

Oh shut up, Ara, same fuckin' difference and you know it!

I'm not blamin' you.

It really isn't the same.

[BUT WHY ARGUE WITH HIM she's only going to get a headache.]

In any case, it's not something we can change while we're here. It takes a little getting used to.

Is too.

[Arguing with Eridan is about as conducive as beating your head against a rock so... Good choice!]

I don't exactly want to get used to it, but I guess I'we hardly the choice. Whatewer.

Anyway, what's the fuckin' point a bein' here, as much bullshit and useless nonesense I'we gotten within the time I'we been here, that's definitely somethin' I'we yet to fuckin' hear.

The short version is that we are supposed to be training and raising the native beasts of this world through battling them with other beasts.

It makes absolutely no sense at first, but it can be rather enjoyable.

... Well alright, seems pretty fuckin' pointless, but I guess so long as I'm stuck here it's better than doin' nothin' at all.

[A beat.]

Well, thanks for the information, anyways. [HE'S NOT ALWAYS RUDE. Just like 98.9% of the time.]

It gives us something to do. And I like the creatures I have found so far.

What kind have you been given, Eridan?

Some mock skyhorse, it's blue, not sure what it's actually called, though.

Ooh, I don't think I've seen that one yet...

[She's, like, been keeping track of all the Pokemon.]

If you check that handheld computer you were given, it should tell you. It's quite useful.

My... Oh. That thing...

One second.

[Curiosity is a powerful force man, so here he is rummaging real quick to get it and maybe even release his pokemon. Yep, after a second or two the sound of the pokemon being recalled is heard.]

... It's been sayin' its fuckin' name this whole time? Horsea? What sorta fuckin' name is that? Seabiscuit's way better.

[Yeah, Eridan has class in his naming abilities!]

I think Horsea sounds cuter.

[Welp.]

You will find more Pokemon as you travel. They are surprisingly diverse.

Well, I didn't ask what YOU think, now did I?

[huff.]

So, is there anythin' significant to their diweristy, or are they just like generally different like regular beasts? [May as well get this information.]

Edited 2011-10-03 13:39 (UTC)

I still don't know everything about them yet, but they are similar to regular beasts. But their type heavily depends on what kinds of powers they wind up developing as you train them.

Hmm. Alright, I'll hawe to look into that. I figure if I'm doin' this, I may as well be fuckin' good at it, or you know, the best.

[A brief pause.]

...You know, Ara, for bein' so low on the hemospectrum, you actually aren't all that bad.

[~~It was bound to happen sometime.~~]

[A huff.]

Don't get any funny ideas. I am just giving you the required information.

Oh I'm not, I'm just sayin', you're definitely prowin' that maybe there's some sorta diamond in the rough that makes up the disgustin' lower half a the hemospectrum is all.

[GOD HE IS SUCH A SMOOTH OPERATOR.]
