Prince of Heart- Yo we getting there ladies and gents, we getting there.
Eridan lent back on the door that had led to the roof, and subsequently led to the inside of the meteor, the metal knob jabbing into his right side as he stared up above him at some newfound planet. In front of him were his fellow alive coplayers; Terezi and Dave standing nearby each other, Kanaya holding up a still wasted drunk Rose, and Karkat up front being the first one out the door when the group was notified that they were nearing the new universe almost ten minutes ago. As he followed the curvature of the planet with his eyes, gazing at the dark green buildings, ones he vaguely made out as skyscrapers, and made an underlying groan of amazement as a large ball of electricity rose up above the planet, engulfing an entire small part of the planet. Around the planet was the endless void, as well as three other visible planets and a completely colourless and grey Skaia, the reason lost to Eridan.
Dave scraped his feet along the emotionless concrete, grabbing the attention of some of the group, including Eridan. "so has anyone figured out how were actually gonna stop this meteor? or was three years not enough time to solve that problem."
The group began to look at each other nervously, Terezi shrugging and Kanaya pursing her lips, with Karkat grabbing the sides of his head with widened eyes. "NO, WE HAVEN'T. OH MY GOD. WE'RE STILL TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, AND WE ONLY SEEM TO BE PICKING UP STEAM!"
"i dont think thats possible dude," Dave replied, putting a hand on his hip, "in fact im not sure we were ever traveling at light speed. i think maybe theres been some bogus science in circulation that we been chumped into gettin behind."
Karkat let his hands fall from his head, scrunching up his face. "WHAT?"
"just sayin," Dave told, shrugging.
"NO. *I'M* JUST SAYING," Karkat said, barging up to Dave and jabbing a finger into Dave's chest, "WE CAME ALL THIS WAY, AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"
"kar get yourself the fuck together," Eridan demanded casually, crossing his arms. "youre actin ridiculous right now. wwhy the fuck wwould there be no wway for this to stop?"
"OH, LOOK WHO SUDDENLY HAS SOME SORT OF BLIND FUCKING FAITH IN OUR SITUATION!" Karkat exclaimed, turning from his fellow Knight and facing the Prince. "WHERE THE FUCK WAS THIS SORT OF HOPE BACK IN OUR SESSION MR 'EVERyBODY HATES ME?'"
"im just sayin kar that somethin wwill happen so wwhy the fuck evven panic?"
"WELL HAVEN'T YOU JUST INVERTED FROM YOUR INITIAL PERSONALITY. WHAT A WONDEROUS FUCKING SURPRISE THAT THE GODS THEMSELVES HAVE GIVEN US. YOU KNOW, I WOULD'VE LIKED IT BETTER IF YOU DECIDED TO PANIC WITH ME."
"then wwhy the fuck ARE you panicin?" Eridan said, moving from the doorway and towards his Moirail. "if im calm then there has to be nothin to wworry about right?"
"fish dude has a point shout man hes been overreacting hells of more than your nubby little horns which for fuckin once isnt a euphemism for human genitalia. so you should probably trust his pessimistic ass on this."
"Don'ot worry guy,s, I've vave a fealing evvvvvery thinks gogna work out," Rose told the group, giving a wink towards no one in particular.
"rose shut the fuck up," Dave told her, crossing his arms, before jumping at an odd and powerful bark appear seemingly out of thin air.
"dude did you just bark?" Dave asked, pushing Karkat jokingly.
"WHAT?" Karkat replied in defense, "NO I DIDN'T BARK. I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU."
"why would i bark?"
Eridan watched Terezi, Kanaya, and Rose each looked on in awe as some dark, brooding figure appeared in front of them, skin and hair as black as coal, with the black and white God Tier outfit that Eridan had never viewed before, but with the obvious Space symbol on the figures breasts, but consisted of what seemed like a dress that extended to her knees with a pair of striped socks and red slippers. The figure seemed a girl, long and lanky with messy hair that fell to her hips, and an obvious pair of buck teeth that seemed counter intuitive to the menacing aura, both metaphorical and literal. Eridan stood up straight, scowling at the figure and pulling out his wand.
"WELL WHY THE FUCK WOULD I BARK?" Karkat continued, oblivious to the figure.
"because youre having a mental breakdown?" Dave argued.
"WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A MENTAL GO FUCK YOURSELF? OR! OR WAIT! THEN USE YOUR ALLEGED "TIME POWERS" TO MAKE A COPY OF YOURSELF AND TURN THIS AUDACIOUS PHANTASY INTO A SENSUAL REALITY!"
Dave genuinely thought about it for a moment, before shrugging his shouders. "nah"
Another bark from the figure.
"THERE IT WAS AGAIN! THE BARK HAPPENED AGAIN!"
"wasnt me."
"WHO THE FUCK IS BARKING?"
"kanaya did you bark?" Dave questioned, pointing two fingers at the Sylph. "you fuckin with us Maryam?"
Kanaya made a low hissing noise in response.
TEREZI, WAS IT YOU?"
The Seer growled silently under her breath.
"WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?"
"maybe the mayor barked. mayor was that you?" Dave asked in a high pitched babbling voice, putting his hands on his knees and looking at the mayor, who blinked at Dave a couple of times with tired eyes. "haha i bet it was! god i love the mayor hes so full of surprises!" Dave chuckled, before finally gazing up at the lady and shutting his mouth promptly, his fellow Knight doing the same in awe of the young woman.
The lady formed a menacing grin on her face and waved at the group, greeting with, "hey guys!" With a wisp of her hands, the lady formed trails of green fire around her, her aura growing larger. "long time no see." And with the fire extending to the group, Eridan felt queasy and sick, before completely blacking out, the last thing he saw being the woman's menacing grin.
