Written on the drive to the beach. For my Eddsworld-Banishment-AU sideblog on Tumblr.
Wet.
Everything was wet.
It was like underwater, but he could still breathe. Like he was a fish or something.
"You are a disgrace."
What? He perked his ears at the sound of the omnipotent voice.
"I have cast you away from the land. You are cursed to stay in this place forever."
Cursed.
He cracked open an eyelid. A torrent of water swirled around him, yet he wasn't bothered by it there, which was unusual since he was usually so sensitive to water he couldn't open an eye without goggles.
He glanced around. He was deep underwater. Schools of fish wreathed around him, and plants-some colorful, which was odd-twirled like dancers in the current.
He looked down at himself. He was wearing his green hoodie and black pants, yet he had no shoes.
Wait...
He narrowed his eyes and looked at his feet a second time.
They were a radioactive green and glowed slightly.
His mouth agape, he held up shaky hands. They were green too. Touching his face, he felt the radioactive goo on his face, first feeling his soft skin then the smooth and jello-like texture of the goo.
And so, among the plants and fish, deep within the lake of the banished, Edd cried.
