[He's beyond happy that he's back to normal. Asides from the fact that those Space Olympics were a joke, and the alien invasion... Being human was just weird, and definitely not something he wants to repeat. Ever.

He's pretty sure it'll probably happen again. Life is against him and it's not hard to find stories about the sort of things the castle has pulled. People seemed to be willing enough to give warnings.]

So, that transformation thing. I know the castle does what it wants an' all a that, and it pulls shit all the time, but is there always such a large scale a change? How powerful do you ewen hawe to be to pull off large scale mutations?

[He knows it's probably not that easy, but it's the most logical conclusion for him.]

Can you do that? Just make the DNA a so many species mutate to the point where the body decides it's fuckin' wrong an' ower night you just get changed? What would you ewen use to do that?

[He's talking to himself now, but he is trying to find reasons for things different from "the castle is magic". He can't let himself believe in magic.

But he can research, so if anyone wants to run into Eridan to question his theories or to just talk to a grumpy teenage alien, Eridan can be found on the roof with a few stacks of books snagged from the library without him. The longer he stays there, the more fidgety he gets, so don't be too startled if he accidentally screams at someone.]

So, hypothetically speakin'... If someone is bein' a huge asshole to you, despite your wery best efforts to make amends, what do you do? I don't really want to confront him about it because he'd probably just try to blow me up, because he's the sort a jackass that would attack an unarmed troll.

[Or so Eridan assumes. The possibility of Sollux still having control of his psychic powers is the one reason he's been waiting so long to address this whole stupid bee pie issue and his general assholeishness.

Eridan was trying to be nice, even if he's no good at it.]

Is there anyway to get into his room without him noticin'? Long distance sabotage or somethin'?

So. I know this might come as a surprise, but. You know, or maybe you don't, I don't hawe any fuckin' clue what the hell you know but. I died. I got killed by Kanaya, after... [He trails off, sighing. Was apologizing always this hard?

Whatever, he'll just go for it.]

I'm sorry for hurtin' you.

[text, open to the whole castle.]

[Now with that apology out of the way...]

tell me about your favvorite historical figures an legends
might as wwell learn somethin neww
i knoww pretty much evverythin about my owwn planets history an really theres not a wwhole lotta people that could outmatch dualscar so i doubt your stories could compare but ill listen anywways

truestsciences

so as evveryone an their lusus is talkin about theres some human holiday comin up
an thats great an all for humans but
wwhats the point of this
thats wwhat i wwant to knoww
i dont really knoww wwhat any a you are talkin about wwith this wwhole vvalentines deal wwhich would make sense if it was just all the humans talkin about it that i didnt underst but its more then that an i cant help but feel like ivve forgotten somethin important regardin this wwhole romance gig
so
does anyone wwant to tell me wwhats goin on then and wwhy this has to be a holiday

((ooc: for the record because it is actually relevant now, eridan's loss was his knowledge of quadrants/troll romance, so he knows absolutely nothing about romance at all. hooray!))

[Even though Eridan sure as hell won't admit it to her, his conversation with Nepeta, as far back as it was, left him thinking.

It's hard knowing you'll outlive all the other members of your species in the castle. It's hard and nobody understands.

And now he's tired of thinking about it. He doesn't want to be stuck here for hundreds, or thousands, of sweeps. He doesn't want to get old while everyone else dies of. It's time to bitch to everyone again.]

alright i gotta question to ask
about the castle an i knoww theres probably no point in askin but i havve to
are wwe really stuck here until wwe reach the ends a our livves or wwhat i mean i knoww death is kind a irrelevvant here because people can be brought back to life but
wwhat about wwhen you get old an all thats left is for you to die
can people outlivve their lifespans is wwhat i wwant to ask i guess
i mean its not really applicable to me because i could outlivve all a you no doubt
still

[And then Eridan doesn't know what else to say. Still what? There is no still. He supposes he doesn't want to be alone for the rest of his life, but if he's just going to outlive everyone there's no point in making friends or lovers.

Sigh.

So now that his words are out there, he's taken to moping about the castle. He's wandering pretty aimlessly, looking around as if he's trying to memorize every little detail and fidgeting with the end of his scarf, picking at the threads and, on more then one occasion, chewing on the end of it. All in all he looks completely miserable and mopey.]

truestsciences

that human holiday wwasnt all that bad in retrospect
evven if there wwas some creep named santa wwho left me some wweird sort a lowwblood type swweets

i didnt knoww wwe could get things from our wworlds though
guess i should finally go see howw this compares

[Curious about what that thing Eridan got from his world is? Well, just head to the courtyard. He'll be there, holding a rather unusual rifle.

If you stick around, you can even see him aiming at the sky and firing. Anyone afraid of lightning or thunder might not want to stick around, though, because this gun is flashy and loud.]

((ooc: for Christmas Eridan got Ahab's Crosshairs! For non-Homestucks, Ahab's Crosshairs is a super-powered rifle that shoots lighting and can pierce through gigantic flying whales like it ain't no thing, amongst other things.))

[Hey, so you know what Eridan doesn't try often? Video games. He's got nothing better to do and the castle is willing to provide, so he figures he may as well give them a shot. Some wishing here and setting up there, and he's all ready to give this a shot.

Unfortunately the castle has given him the worst game ever for those who have little to no experience with this kind of thing.

So for a while, you may hear increasingly angry sounds coming from the journal, until he finally snaps because he can't even kill the first boss and this game ~~cheats~~ yeah he just sucks. Then the sound of a controller being thrown right through the screen.]

FUCK THIS GAME!!

[ooc: open over the journal but i guess if you want to hear him getting frustrated outside and come into his room or something that's cool too ~~you stalkers~~.]

[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.]

caligulas_aquarium

[Alright, that's it. You are really starting to get sick of information being withheld from you. Especially very, very personal information you feel does not deserve to be withheld from you in the first place.

It's bullshit is what it is.

And considering you've spoken to almost everyone about this and they're dead set on siding against you, or at least that's how you feel about it, you only have one option left. Attempt to prey on the one who just may be nice enough to slip up. Just have to hope he hasn't been told not to say anything or something.]

[Well, oh dear, it appears Mr.Ampora just found out about all of this valentine's day loss nonsense. He's pretty pissed off by everything he sees, y'know the room itself and it's generally unpleasant decor GOD SO MUCH RED EVERYWHERE, but most of all is the fact he's stuck here with some dude he probably hates already.

So he'll just flip a table, cause that is totally the most sensible course of action in a time like this.]

This is fuckin' stupid. Wwhere the shit did the door go!?

caligulas_aquarium

so let me get this straight
humans celebrate a holiday dedicated to shovvin their flushed quadrant in the face a the lonely saps wwithout one
this may be one a the stupidest fuckin things i havve evver heard of
an i just so happen to knoww a lot a idiots so this is an achievvement in itself let me tell you

caligulas_aquarium

[Humans sleep at night, right? It seemed like the best time to try leaving his room, at least, considering from what he'd seen most of the residents here weren't nocturnal, or so he thought.

He's going to open his door slowly, leaning out of his room and examining the hallway outside; all clear from what he could tell, soooo he'll step outside as quickly as he can without making any noise and head downstairs.

Mainly because with everything going on, he was too caught up in his own stuff to remember you could wish for stuff here, namely food, resulting in his hunger finally getting to him.

Then once he finally gets to the kitchen, he's totally raiding everything. If he picks up something he doesn't like, he'll just put it back and keep looking, otherwise he'll finish whatever the hell it was he picked up cause it was more than likely delicious.]

[ooc: because being able to avoid your loss by hanging around in your room is lame, I'm throwing him on out there. Hallways on the way down or the kitchen itself, your choice, but this troll clearly needs to be bothered in the most awkward situation ever]

caligulas_aquarium

[Hey Paradisa, know what isn't the greatest thing to wake up to? A temp loss, especially when it's your first.

Know what's worse? When it appears you've woken up to find you look and sound exactly like someone you know ~~quite well~~ the point is it's a pretty troubling experience.

So naturally Eridan is going to spend quite some time quietly freaking the fuck out in is room. Eventually though he's going to have to ask someone about this.

But god knows all of those idiots who claim it's magic are going to jump at this, since there is no way in hell he could deny this is some kind of nonsensical magic bullshit.

So gotta be very, very careful about this.

LOT OF WRITING TO DO cause dictating is weird and as of now not something he wants to do]
