Prince of Heart-Ayy, new week, new chapter. Took one of those tests recently telling you what class and aspect you'd be, and I got the Prince o' Heart! Don't know why I'm happy about it, since Princes are basically the worst thing to happen ever, but eh! Still get a sweet purple get-up!
Eridan lowered his head as he followed Kanaya through the halls all the way back to the roof. He kept nervously rubbing his arm in embarrassment, and noticed the annoyed little glances that both Kanaya and Karkat would give him every minute. Unfortunately, he couldn't help himself from blushing in embarrassment every time they did so, his cheeks turning a deep violet.
He had found himself banging into a few objects along the way, even though the hall was pretty much empty. With his glasses currently being held by Kanaya, he found his long sightedness to be the bane of his existence. He gave a nervous and uncomfortable groan as he smashed his face into another worthless wall, and attempted to find something to do to get his mind off the awkward situation.
"uh, hey kar?" he carefully whispered.
She turned her head a bit and death stared him with one eye through Eridan's glasses. "What Is It?"
Eridan gulped, "wwell, uh, you still havve my glasses. are you done wwith them? could i maybe havve them back?"
Kanaya stopped dead in her tracks, causing Eridan to smash into her and Sollux's backs. Eridan backed away, putting his hands out in front of him in fear as Kanaya turned around to face him. Her height was defiant and imposing, as she had at least a few inches on Eridan's 5'6 height itself. If Eridan was a betting troll, he would've guessed maybe 5'9, but he wouldn't want to place any money on it. The Prince shrunk down instinctively as she leant in close, her eyes squinting through the glasses.
Eventually she pulled away, and took off the glasses, throwing them in the air. "Alright. I Was Finished With Them Anyway."
Eridan fumbled with them in the air, before finally grasping onto them. "th-thanks," he mumbled out.
He placed the glasses back on his head, his blurry vision turning clear, and opened the computer application to contact one of the humans.

tentacleTherapist (TT) blocked caligulasAquarium (CA)
Eridan scowled, opening his contacts back up as the group neared the roof. He wanted someone else to speak to after the absolutely worthless advice given to him by the human witch. Who did she think she was, giving people terrible advice in order to spite them. It's a shame the humans had to have such a pathetic royal blooded girl as their superior.
He could probably contact the other witch, but she didn't seem as calm headed as her friend, and Eridan didn't need another conversation with her again. The stubborn girl might just give him the last push he needed to snap all over again. That left the last two humans, the ones he hadn't spoken with before, the two males of the group. He hovered over the red text of turntechGodhead, tempted to actually take advice from the lesser blooded of the two, but decided against it and contacted ectoBiologist instead.
caligulasAquarium (CA) began Trolling ectoBiologist (EB)

EB: depends, did you like them?
CA: yeah
EB: and do you regret killing them?
CA: i

CA: and im beginning to doubt her vvalidity as a wwitch
EB: i thought rose was a seer
EB: but anyway, i dont really know what to say
EB: i mean, if this is as common as i think, then i dont know why they care!
CA: wwell i also might havve tried to kill one of them as wwell
CA: and betrayed both of their trusts
EB: oh, uh
EB: thats a lot worse than what vriska did!
EB: kind of
EB: well i guess she still killed all those people
EB: speaking of which, how is she going
CA: wwhat
EB: sorry, was that too forward?
CA: wwhat
EB: like, the thing is
EB: damn it, this is weird
EB: i might be thinking too far ahead
EB: shit, am i revealing too much?
EB: im sorry if youre weirded out!
EB: because apparently vriska wants to date me?
EB: or something like that
EB: according to karkat at least
EB: its weird to think that an alien might like me
EB: i dont think i could even get a human to like me in that way!

CA; thanks for nothin
CA: i hope you all die
caligulasAquarium (CA) ceased Trolling ectoBiologist (EB)
EB: nice meeting you
Eridan placed his hands over his mouth to muffle the frustrated scream that was caused by the humans. Showed him for putting any sort of trust into an obviously inferior race. Running his hands though his hair and horns, he looked in front of him at the stairway up to the roof. He wondered what Vriska and Terezi were doing up there, but dismissed the thought as Kanaya turned around to face him.
"Eridan, Dont You Dare Think Of Starting Any Conflict With Vriska Once We Get Up There," she ordered, "Because The Last Thing I Need Is Yours And Vriskas Incessant Bickering. Are We Clear?" Eridan nodded hastily, not wanting to anger her, and followed her as she ascended the steps with Sollux and Karkat.
Sorry for a kind of filler chapter! Next chapter will have all kinds of drama, I promise! -Prince of Heart
