So this is just a side project I started because I'm an unorganized worker and start new projects while I work on old ones. It'll be short, and have short chapters. I kinda tweaked people to fit my bill. Eridan is a little nicer than he should be, and Frisk talks. Frisk is also super friendly, and this story is based on the True pacifist ending, though it never occurred that way since this is an AU.
Please enjoy!

caliginousAquarium [CA] began trolling underDetermined [UD]
UD: Uh, hi again
CA: hello
CA: so you
CA: did you evver find your other friend
CA: the one you mistaked her tag for mine
UD: Oh! Yes, I did.
UD: You'd like her. Your both sort of rude, no offense. Well.. Maybe some.
CA: You just failed to see the eloquence of my wwords how else wwould somebody react to bein' bothered by a damn stranger
UD: Er, yeah. Whatever you say.
The glass of water on the desk next to him shook, causing Eridan to sigh. Feferi's lusus was hungry again. The Erdrich monster's whispers were loud enough to vibrate things outside the water, and that was a bit concerning. His flush crush would be here any moment to ask for his help.
CA: i havve to go
UD: Okay?

Eridan paused, staring blankly at his screen. Did they really just? This explained so much.
This person sounded like they were waxing honest to god pale for him.
CA: actually
CA: yeah I kinda do

CA: wwhat planet do you livve on
UD: it's called Underground. In the B413 Galaxy.
CA: oh I thought that you
CA: never mind
Sighing, Eridan put his face in his hands. This person wasn't a troll. No quadrants.
His instant messages binged again.
UD: where do you live?
CA: I livve on this stupid rock of shit called Alternia
UD: Oh! I've heard of that planet! My mom teaches me about all kinds of stuff instead of going to school.
UD: she said you guys had uh, I can't remember. Something instead of parents. Like, animals? Parents are like, uh
CA: I knoww wwhat parents are my idiot friends talk to a bunch of heathens from another planet too
CA: sounds like a bunch of damn silly carry on to me my lusus is the best
UD: Yeah! Lusus, that's it! Tell me more about him?
Eridan would never pass up an opportunity to talk about himself, er, his lusus.

CA: I'll be there
underDetermined sent coordinates
Procuring a mode of transportation off planet was the hardest part of the trip. The ship he was taking had crashed some time ago near his hive, carrying an adult troll. Once they were sure the terrifying adult was dead, he and Vriska simply just fed him to Vriska's lusus and commandeered his possessions. They took everything except for the ship, which they let sink to the bottom of the ocean.
It'd taken some pestering, but eventually he somehow conned Equius to fix it for him. The sweating hulk of a brute did it without much complaint. He did like to be ordered around, after all.
Eridan didn't tell anyone he was leaving. They'd figure it out sooner or later when he stopped murdering for Feferi's lusus. With Ahab's Crosshairs in the cargo hold, he climbed into the cockpit of the ship.

CA: I'm leavvin' now probably wwon't have Internet
UD: Yay! I'll see you in a few days!
UD: I'm so excited to meet you!
Closing the app, he turned the key on the ship and listened as the engines whirred to life. They sounded good. He hoped they'd fly just as well. Eridan smiled, if only a little.
He hoped his lusus would be alright.

CA: so do you just wwant me to jump dowwn this hole
CA: just fuckin' jump dowwn this big ass hole
The surface of this planet was mostly barren grasslands and freshwater lakes. The foliage was knee high, and a bright emerald that put Kanaya's blood to shame. The water was a deep, rich blue. No pollution. These people knew how to take care of a planet.
From his previous position in space, it looked so strange to approach a planet so similar to his own green moon.
His landing had gone alright, he hadn't crashed. And he was picking up wifi.
He used the navigation feature on his husktop to follow the coordinates about a mile south. He thanked himself for being active as a child, because it lead him right up the side of a god forsaken mountain. It'd only taken him about an hour to get where he needed to go.
The app said he was in the right spot, but instead of his friend, all he was meet with was a gaping black cavern in to the planet's center. Eridan looked around. There was nothing else here.
UD: Hey! Your planet side!
UD: Yeah, just jump.
UD: I promise you won't die, I didn't.
The purple blood scratched his head. Wait, what?
UD: I'm waiting for you down here!
Eridan gazed down in to the black void. He thought about throwing something down it, just to see how long it'd take to get to the bottom. He decided against it. Frisk was down there.
He took a few steps back, shut his eyes, and flung himself over the edge.
