so heres a question
regardin this dead zone place is it in a sense completely off limits as in dangerous to go there at all not off limits as in forbidden
like hell anyone could stop me
wwhat i mean is is it possible to go there wwithout interruptions from other things that reside in there
if anythin evven does reside in there i dont knoww shit about it aside the fact bein there cuts off powwers an wwhatevver else
but thats the only reason i wwould need to go there so im wwonderin wwould it be possible to use it for that purpose safely
if that makes sense

[Annnnnnnd with that done, he's had a little while to calm down and decided he has something to take care of, so once he's done getting answers from people he'll leave his room and head to Nepeta's room. It takes him a little while to actually do anything, so for an awkward twenty minutes he's just standing outside, occasionally taking a step away from the door to leave, only to decide against it and face it again.

But once he does finally reach a decision, he'll knock on it three times and wait for an answer.]

[She's rather surprised by the knock, but any company is welcome company. It's not often she gets visitors that she doesn't have to invite over, so she hurries to her door to see who it is.

She opens the door slowly, peeking her head out--oh. Her face gives away her surprise. Of everyone in the castle, she'd never really expected to get a visit from Eridan. At all.

Immediately she looks away, still a bit embarrassed by her outburst at him.]

Hi, Eridan. What brings you over?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Hey, uh.

[Sliiiiiight pause.]

Can wwe talk? In privvate, preferably.

[rogueofheart]

[She takes a moment to fidget, looking back toward her room. It was as private as they were going to get...]

Okay.

[She moves to open the door wider, allowing him room to walk in, though her eyes are fixed on his shoes, rather than him.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[...

He'll nod to acknowledge her letting him in, then shuffle passed her, going inside.

God, this is awkward.

In any case, he'll find a spot to stand in and just...stands in that one spot. His entire posture is really stiff, like he's trying not to touch anything.]

So, uh...howw about that troll filter a Vvrisk's, huh? That, eh...that got out a' hand pretty quick...

[He's got something to say about it all, but he's finding it hard not to approach it as slowly as possible, so of course idle and meaningless tip-toeing around the subject is so necessary.]

[rogueofheart]

[This is obviously the best course of action and not awkward at all. Except it is.

The door shuts and she keeps a bit of distance away from him. Not too close, not too far away. She takes her tail in her hands and wrings it a bit anxiously.]

Oh, yeah! Haha, that was some filter! Really... really interesting.

[And the guilt returns, her stomach in a knot.]

1/?

[caligulas_aquarium]

[ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS.

He figures if he can apologize to Sollux of all trolls, this is no problem!]

Look, eh, Nep. I'm...just, about that. Wwhat happened an' all.

I guess I'm...

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Pause.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

filter;

[frogs]

you should probably just stay away from it

[caligulas_aquarium]

[That's not really an answer he wanted to hear, so he takes a minute or two to to stop himself from saying something like WHO ASKED YOU. Cause it was open, after all.]

wwhat makes you say that

[frogs]

well um
just because i have only ever heard bad things about it
it is like a point of no return or something spooky like that

[look she may not really like you Eridan but don't do anything that dumb ok??]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Haha. Eridan.

Not do anything dumb.

Haaaaaah.]

[payback]

[She sounds pretty reserved, but the dead zone is a personal passion.]

There's an outpost that people can use, if they are courteous and respect the other people there and the building.

[caligulas_aquarium]

thats not exactly wwhat i had in mind
so it doesnt sound like itd wwork
i mean its not like im plannin on wwreckin the buildin itself thats not exactly on my to do list
just
point is i dont knoww if itd be suitable

[payback]

The doors lock so if you want privacy it can be had. What exactly are you planning on doing there?

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwhoa hey hold on a fuckin second here
it isnt like im gonna do anythin indecent or somethin behind closed doors

[...]

just
its complicated okay

[payback]

Do go on.

This person

[caligulas_aquarium]

[If she ever mentioned her name to him, well, he's probably forgotten it anyway.

If not, suitable filter is suitable.]

if you havve a problem wwith this fine
id get that
but if im gonna tell you it stays betwween us you got that
hate the idea as much as you wwant i wwont evven berate you for that ill shut up wwhile you go on about it
but right noww i cant really afford to let it be knowwn by a lot a people
not until i havve my facts straight about the dead zone itself

Eridan;

[payback]

Spit it out and quit whining at me. I'm sure I've heard weirder.

This person

[caligulas_aquarium]

look theres this
person
an basically they really make a point a hasslin me evverytime i talk to them
an quite fuckin frankly im sick a it
actin like theyre better than me all the time
especially since theyre just shovvin their poorly obtained godhood right in my face evverytime they do
an i knoww if it came dowwn to it wwithout all this fuckin powwered shit in play an wwhatevver else
if it wwas just a case a one on one no wwhite science or stupid fuckin powwers an wwe just had at it
ivve a good chance a beatin them
so the next time they call me out on it i wwant to fight them on evven grounds
i thought this might be a good place to do it but im not stupid or somethin i wwouldnt think a goin out there wwithout inquirin about it
so hence the fact im tryin a find out if itd be okay or im puttin myself at some sort a risk by doin so
