hey guys! It's just me in the story now. Meowkara and Purryrope left. But anyways, the story is back up for grabs because of your excitement towards the previous chapter!
"If this is still up, Eridan, what do you think about science and magic? A friend of mine (online) says you're full of carp and salmon, and that magic is everywhere.
-alonesong"
Karkat groans at yet another letter towards the sea dweller. He was so done with this fan mail, honestly. He only kept going on with this crap because Kanaya thought he should get his mind off of stressful things. Too bad this fan mail was the exact opposite of relaxing.
"Eridan, you've got another stupid letter!" Karkat yells across the room.
Eridan walks back over again hesitantly. "Really?"
"Why on Alternia would i scream at you other wise?" Karkat snaps, handing the envelope over.
Eridan rips it open and reads it. "Uh...w-well, science is obv-viously the best thing ev-ver. Science explains ev-verything, and magic is just some stupid excuse for the unexplained. Magic is so freakin unreal, it's w-weird to ev-ven mention it in the same sentence as science." Eridan explains, reading the first line.
"And what about the last part," Karkat reminds.
"Ah, okay." Eridan reads the rest and grimaces greatly, furrowing his brows. "I am not full of carp and salmon! The only thing out there that's as silly as magic is the w-way you think! Your friend is so rude, i can't even express how disgusted i am! She- no, IT is the one that is full of carp and salmon!"
"Calm down-" Karkat grumbles.
"No, this is offensive!" Eridan whines, slamming the fan mail onto the desk loudly.
"Don't go all Kankri on me, just get over it!" Karkat complains.
Eridan crosses his arms. "I'm not anythin like your stupid dancestor."
"Whatever." Karkat rolls his eyes with a huff. "I'm just going to keep going through this junk mail."
"Kurloz, have you ever had any direct interaction with Lil' Cal? If so, did you find him cool, like Gamzee does. Also, if you could get the life ring, would you use it? If so, would it be like how Aranea is doing it? Also, if you didn't have to worry about strife specibus, what kind of weapon would you use?
Praise be the double m's,
wrathofnerds [makaras :)]"
"Speakin of dancestors," Eridan mumbles.
"Gamzee, where's that freaky dancestor of yours?" Karkat ignores the commentary.
Gamzee opens the door to the room and gives Kurloz a small push in before closing the door. Kurloz looks back and gives a half frown at the locked door before sitting by Karkat and Eridan.
"Here, some war of nerds note." Karkat hands it over uninterested.
Kurloz takes it and skims it before replying on a note card.
"I don't know who Lil' Cal is, but i suppose if Gamzee finds him enjoyable I bet he is. Answering your second question, I do not know what I would want with the life ring. Perhaps I would use it like Aranea is, if I was pushed to. As for strife specibus, I think it would be fun to make a garden gnome launcher. Their pointy heads serve as a dangerous yet useful tool, and the launcher would maximize their damage because of the sheer force. It is very intimidating, yes? Imagine a giant gnome flying at you at fifty or more miles per hour."
Karkat humphs. "That's a pretty good point, i guess."
Kurloz scribbles more words onto the sheet. "Can i leave now?"
"Please do." Karkat insists.
Kurloz gets up and leaves promptly, letting Karkat get back to his mail. He slips out another envelope from the pile begrudginly. Eridan is sitting on the desk facing the other way, looking quite bored already.
"Want to read this one?" Karkat sighs at the offer.
Eridan looks back, mildly interested. He takes the note and turns around completely. "Sure."
"Hey Jade! Do you do dog things now, since you're part dog? You know, like chasing cars, cats, birds or mail men?"
Eridan raises a brow. "I'm so lost on this one."
"Well who's it for?" Karkat snatches the note. "Oh, her. Harley, get in here!"
Jade almost immediately walks in after the request was shouted. "What?"
"Fan mail." Karkat sighs, tossing it at her.
Jade catches it spot on before taking it over to the desk to read. "Um...I dunno, i don't think i really have time for it either way. I bet it's fun stuff,"
"You realize you totally do that stuff." Karkat says, reading the note also.
"I do not." Jade denies.
"Yeah, you do. You were barking at one of the exiles the other day. The one that likes to deliver stuff?" Karkat raises a brow.
Jade avoids the subject and swiftly takes up another letter. "This one's to Dave. Ooh, and it comes with a package,"
K guys! Do you wanna decide what's in the package for Dave? If you don't, i'll just do it myself.
