We shouldn't have to act like any of us could disappear. Then we'd need to act as if any of us could appear, and then we might as well act as if the demon is on our vestigial tails again.

You've really been avoiding the actual question of why you wouldn't want to have me be your friend. You've demonstrated already you would rather I continue doing you favors and services. I'd... offer to ply you with more clothing but even if you felt like you needed it you might have to finance it because the Masquerade approaching I've begun to run out of marques...

Cause I hate her, which ewen if you ain't you sorta got the exact same look a' her about you. You ewen sound exactly like her, for the most part act exactly like her aside obwiously wantin' my decapitated head on a nutrition plateau.

Is it really so hard to understand that lookin' at you really pisses me off cause a' what happened an' apparently I'm not allowed to feel that way, with you an' literally all the other trolls an' ewen my own matesprit tellin' me so.

An' that maybe it's just a really confusin' an' complicated situation that pisses me off I got no idea what to do with.

I mean if you hate someone an' you're not allowed to hate them cause they ain't them but they remind you of them in nearly ewery single way, what the fuck are you supposed to do.

Ewen if you were just, y'know, a regular troll it'd make it easier. But you're not.

[There's a solid two seconds of icy silence after he says that.]

We've discussed this before. I think you even in fact criticized me for doing exactly what you're doing right now.

But if you l... [She almost said love. She really came this close. In all honesty, "lo" would be a more accurate rendering.]

If you like someone, and you're not allowed to be their friend even though they remind you of them in almost every single way, what are you supposed to do.

[caligulas_aquarium]

I don't know.

[She touches the sheet of paper with the nicest drawing of the suit on it, "idly".]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Okay, fine, you don't gotta hate me.

[...]

Ewen if it's totally inewitable. But I won't try an' force you. Happy now.

[Continuing to cooooooly push the paper around until WAIT IS HE DOING THE THING WITH HIS FINGERS AND BLUSHING AND AND AND

HE SAID YES

SHE JUST PUSHES THE PAPER TOO MUCH AND PRACTICALLY FALLS OVER OH MY GOD

OKAY

OKAY GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER MARYAM JUST STAND UP AND]

Yes, Eridan. More than you know.

[In return, she will valiantly resist the urge to hug him.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Good, well. Uh.

[Hm.]

So we're done now right, unless you'd like to once again how I could wake up tomorrow an' all my friends are gone.

Or I could be dead.

[Yep bitter. Kinda. He just couldn't end this on a good note.]

[speakveryclearly]

[Dammit Eridan NO SHE'S FORCING THIS TO END ON A GOOD NOTE]

And I'd be one of them.

Look at that, I'm gone right now.

[RAINBOW DRINKER DEPARTURE

YEAHHHHHH]

[caligulas_aquarium]

What? Hey, wait, that doesn't mean we're--!!

[Fuck, she's gone.

Stupid lousy no good superfast undead not-friend. >8(]
