[ 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 ]

Why don't you go fuck off? You don't even want to go in this direction.

[GLARING INDIGNANTLY.]

Look Kar, you might be actin' like a owerbearin' fuckwad right now, but you're still my fuckin' friend and like hell I'm gonna let you just wander off like some aimless hoofbeast without a fuckin' lobe into the woods you know nothin' about, by yourself.

[Read as: Idk where to go, so following you and showing the vaguest hints of concern for my and your well being.]

Who's the fuckass that's being overbearing at the moment?

[ he would be hissing right now, if he could make the appropriate noise. ]

You are.

[Nothing ever has been said so matter-as-fact as this.]

Eridan, I will not hesitate to smack you, fucking murderer yet or not!

[Oh hey that kinda makes him stop in his tracks.]

... What the hell are you talkin' about?

[ a glance back and that raging expression goes flat. ]

Fucking forget about it. Let's go.

No.

[He starts after him, his speed increased from before.]

You fuckin' tell me, Kar. What the fuck did you mean by that?

You obviously blocked out the memo, so fuck you.

[... No, he remembers that memo, but he just thought Karkat was being weird...]

You mean the memo where you were bein' cagey as fuck and downright fuckin' misleadin'? I remember that.

And I'm saying it really doesn't matter. Feferi is pretty fucking happy in the dead dream bubble land. Sollux is happy how he is now, actually. And Kanaya? Yeah, she's pretty good to go too.

[ because that's really all that maters. now that he's had time to calm down, it's fine. if everyone's alright with it, why shouldn't he be? ]

So let's just go.

[That... really didn't offer any solace WHAT SO EVER, KARKAT THANKS.]

Goddamnit... Kar this shit does matter, stop tryin' to fuckin' shrug it off!

[Sup grabbing your shoulder once he's caught up, because he wants to know what happened.]

Fef's dead? [The most serious of faces.]

[ turns to slap that hand away. frowning. ]

Yeah, she is. So what? You're not going to fucking believe me no matter how many times I try to tell you.

Fuck you! I'm askin' for a reason, asshole! But fine, whatewer, I see how far it gets me to try to listen, lets just go like you'we been tryin' to get me to do, since you just don't ewen wanna finish explainin' what you brought up in the first fuckin' place!

[Just gonna haughtily storm past Karkat.]

[ rolls eyes and doesn't move. ]

Because you tried to join up with Jack, you pretentious fishdouche. Sollux tried to stop you and when you fucked him up too much, Feferi obviously got pissed. So how she died?

It's your fault.

[That definitely stops him in his tracks again. He stands there for a few moments, pondering this over. Yeah, he had sorta played with the idea of joining Jack, wasn't set on it or anything--and he hadn't exactly told anyone about that... So there had to be some truth to what Karkat was saying.]

[But, that raises the question of how exactly he even beat Sollux, or how Fef got killed--yeah his fault apparently, but that hardly explains what happened.]

Okay, how the fuck did I beat Sol, because last I knew we dueled and he beat me by cheatin' with those freak powers a his--and, that hardly explains what happened. My fault? My fault how, are you implyin' I culled her?

[Yeah, not gonna look at Karkat, not yet. Maybe he's being dramatic, maybe he's not, not like this news is something easy to stomach after being sent to some strange world, getting turned into a human, while still being in love with the girl you're being accused of murdering.]

I'm not implying anything. I'm fucking telling you that you did. I told you that before and you were too preoccupied with your fucking angels to listen.

[Yeah he swallows hard on that one. At the time Karkat hadn't outright said who he was talking about, saying 'her' and never doing any name dropping, but the context clues should have been enough, he just... Didn't really want to acknowledge that memo ever, but now he's kinda having to. Fhl.]

I--Fuck, I don't ewen know what to say, I definitely don't want to beliewe you, but the shit you'we just said--the shit you said in that memo, the shit you know...

Fuck.

[Yeah he's not sure how to handle this right now. He wants to just call Karkat a liar, go on his merry way and just flip him the metaphorical flapbeast, but he knows all too well that he can't do that, not with the way his chest feels so goddamn tight.

Like I said.

[ guilt? maybe a little. tiniest of tiny guilts. ]

She's happy playing with the fucking horrorterrors, so just let it go for now. Sollux is fine being blind and toothless and Kanaya turned out just fucking fine too. In the end, you really didn't screw anyone over, so drop it for now.

[ okay. so maybe Eridan screwed over himself in this deal, but... ]

... Yeah I guess.

[There's heavy dejection in his voice. Him killing some of their friends probably wouldn't be as much of a shock to him as this is if it weren't for the fucking fact he killed Feferi. He still doesn't want to believe it, but there are just some facts not even Eridan can try to pretend don't exist.]

Edited 2011-10-03 14:24 (UTC)

[ and Karkat just comes up behind him with a small shove. nothing forceful, but he can't bring himself to be entirely comforting. ]

Come on.

[Not that Eridan would expect him to be comforting in the least. He takes a second to collect himself, before trying to shrug the information off. It really isn't working, Eridan's as see through as glass. But regardless, he starts walking after the shove, staying silent meanwhile. He's got a lot to think about after all.]

[ he'll lose his temper with it sooner or later. ]

I want to get to Cherrygrove. We can wait for Lalonde's birds there.

[He offers a nod. He doesn't really care at this point, they could just kinda get lost in the woods for weeks, he wouldn't give a shit right now. He sure does feel shitty. But it's okay, once he's digested the information and has had time to figure out how to handle it, he'll start to care again, but right now? Sure is brooding up in here.]

Shit is so fucked up.

[ and that's really all he can say on the matter. all of it is. ]
