Prince of Heart- As a human who's 70% Coke Zero I can say I'm probably going to be dependent on the stuff like it's crystal meth, so pray for me when that moment comes along.

Eridan suddenly regained his consciousness, the first thing his eyes seeing being a light purple surface, before he felt himself falling backwards and immediately hit a hard marble surface below him. He heard a startled girlish scream, and himself let out a pained grunt as he collided with the ground with an audible clack. The Prince took a few breaths, hearing a series of 'omgs' from the girl in the room, before he let out a loud groan, finding his back with his hand and rubbing it lightly.

"omg fish boy on my floor fish boy on my floor," the voice said in a panicked tone, a series on clacks across the floor before he felt two small hands clasp against his side. He managed to wrestle past the pain and opened his eyes, looking up at the Caucasian, well-tanned, diamond shaped face of a human girl, straight blonde hair that went down to past her chin and ended with pink coloured tips, as well as a dark blue mask that did little to hide her striking pink iris'.

Eridan blinked his eyes a couple of times to gain his bearings, before letting the girl drag him up onto his behind. The rest of the room matched the floor, being a light purple, but the walls being made up of a series of bricks, as well as the roof being rougher concrete, and a single window and door at either ends of the room, the window blocked off by bars. The girl was crouched over him, her skinny figure practically hunched over the short but broad shouldered troll, but she wore what seemed like another God Tier outfit: sleeveless, it showed her toned arms and shoulder, as well as hugged to her figure, unlike most outfits, though that might just be true for all of her class, and had the Void symbol across her breasts.

Eridan took in a deep breath, and groaned, "yeah yeah im fine. i really fuckin hate that girl. like really fuckin despise that lanky piece of shit."

"now thats not very nice!" another voice exclaimed in the room, this time Eridan recognizing the nasally girlish sound.

Eridan turned to face the dog eared girl, the tall figure standing menacingly near the door with a book in her hand, which almost seemed as if it sparkled and glittered. "ugh you aint gonna snap me awway again are you just teleport me into lava and end my life."

"as appealing as that sounds with all youve done to me in the game emotionally, we still need you as we need that other pathetic hope player in the cell across."

"wait omg jakes here?" Roxy asked.

"yes, embarrassing pants and all. but that is not important right now." The girl let out a woof as she approached, pushing Eridan to the side and up to Roxy.

"lmao did you just woof?"

"yes i just woofed."

"hmm interestin very verily interestin. but it seems you can human talk as well?"

"yes i can human talk as well. extremely well i may add. so i see you two have met? roxy this is eridan, eridan this is roxy." She gestured to both Eridan and Roxy in sync. "roxy the only reason eridans here is cause i need him somewhere where he cant cause any harm to our plans. youre the one i need to speak to."

"listen evil dog lady i dunno who you think i am but im just a sly haxor girl that still feels sorta hungover from some kinda candy. i got no use to any doggy needs even as fuckin adorbs as you look."

The tall girl smiled. "naww, thank you! but im not adorable im more like… adorabloodthirsty. but dont get me off track!" Jade held up the book in her hand, one decorated heavily with glitter and sparkles, as well as various pictures of Her Imperious Condescension in all her gorgeous glory. "we have business to discuss."

"oh god i shouda known you were workin for the batterwitch!" Roxy claimed.

"dont insult her name! You were given this folder earlier, no? well i am here to make sure that you do as youre told." Roxy made a loud groan in response. "now take the file and review your assignment

"i already looked at it. its dumb and impossible and i aint cooperating w her regardless!"

"yes you will!"

"wwait wwhys the condescension here shouldnt she be dead or somethin in the old univverse?" Eridan questioned, prompting Jade to throw up one of her hands in dismissal.

"i truly do not have time for this!" the Witch of Space snapped at the both of them, pushing the folder into Roxy's face and causing a puff of glitter to erupt from it, as well as a grunt from Roxy herself. "OPEN IT!" Jade demanded.

"fine," Roxy pouted, opening the folder to a bookmarked file that Eridan couldn't see from his position. "ok i opened it," she claimed, before hitting it with the back of her hand and continuing, "hey look its the same shit as before. im supposed to make this weird knobbly spike ball appear out of nothin." Jade nodded. "ok got it. let me give it a shot then." The Rogue wriggled one set of fingers lazily. "welp still impossible."

"yeah seems like a load of fuckin nonsense to me witch. i kneww you wwere daft in the game but i thought you wwould havve improvved over time."

"if youd just give me a moment to explain to he-"

"no just FUCKIN NO. wwith fuckin evverythin happenin so fast i havve not been able to get answers! wwhy the fuck is condescension here alivve? wwho is that mr english guy still? all i knoww is that he might kill me but wwho the fuck cares about that anymore! wwhy the fuck are you an animal now? is this an evvolution to wwhatevver humans actually are?"

"eridan youre really starting to tick me off!"

"oh YOURE startin to get ticked off? i havve been through so fuckin much in my life and this THIS is wwhere i put my god damned boot down! you think youre funny wwith your fuckin folder an-" Jade rolled her eyes during his rant, before moving forward suddenly and punching Eridan across the room, straight into the rock solid wall and bouncing him off and onto the floor.

"oh noes handsome fish boy!" Roxy exclaimed, running over to Eridan and crouching beside him.

"oww fuck that wwent a lot better in my head."

"you know," Jade said, shaking her fist nonchalantly, "for all your complaining about how much humans talk, you sure do say a lot of bullshit yourself." She teleported her way up behind Roxy, pulling her back by the hood and setting her on her backside. "now make it!"

"blehhhh," Roxy groaned, scrambling up and crossing her legs while Eridan attempted to get up, "fine why u gotta be so awful jade. really putting a cramp on us makin choice new friends w each other. oh well here goes. all twiddlin my fingers and such. busting out tha MAJYYXXX! prayin up a storm to the holy wizardchrist they aint fake..." Roxy took a deep breath, moving her fingers magically. "alright check it. one jank ass space egg coming up! ABRACA HAPPEN!" As if by the very magic both Eridan and Roxy had doubted, a green box with rounded corners appeared in her hands, though while Eridan was shocked that something actually appeared, Roy looked more than a little disappointed. "this is not a space egg."

"no, its not," Jade replied, with a tinge of excitement.

"balls guess i effed up my void spell. what is this thing?"

"thats a perfectly generic object."

"its perfectly generic?" Roxy asked, moving it around one hand.

"yes," Jade confirmed.

"dunno about that looks like a green cube to me with like slightly beveled corners."

"thats what a perfectly generic object is!"

"couldnt something theoretically be more generic than this?"

"how?"

"um… i dunno?"

Jade clicked her fingers. "exactly. if you want your powers to reach their full potential youre going to need to become more familiar with the fundamental building blocks of ideas and how they translate into more complicated thoughts and forms, then it becomes a simple matter of using your abilities to snatch those concepts from unreality."

"sounds too hard," Roxy claimed, throwing the object away and laying her side with her head in her hand, "better start killing me repeatedly and get it over with"

"we both know you dont think its too hard, you think it sounds like an interesting challenge!"

"dammit! fucken jakes wily bitch ass grandma."

"this is a very good start though, with a little practice im sure our empress will have her orb in no time!"

"well at least i know i can make a whole lot of these boring cubes if all else fails," Roxy said, picking up the cube with her free hand. "hey maybe ill build a sick fort outta them. hehehe jade tell me that wouldnt be so baller!"

Jade nodded hesitantly. "it would be fairly baller."

"fyeah!"

"keep trying for that orb though. i will return in a while to review your progress and remember, dont get any funny ideas, either of you."

"but p much all my ideas are funny."

"i mean dont try to escape! even if you are invisible i will be able to track you down instantly. my sense of smell is very good. i was aiming that more towards mr magicman over here." She gestured to Eridan with a finger. "these walls are tough but i dont want to have to kill you because you blasted out and attempted to murder her imperious condescension."

Eridan crossed his arms in pain and pouted, "fine wwhatevver."

Jade nodded. "now if youll excuse me i have some business to attend to."

"what business?" Roxy asked.

"i am still trying to locate my brother, but im having trouble picking up his scent. hes using his windy powers to obscure the trail and its giving me fits!"

The Rogue rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "windy powers eh? who is your bro?"

"woof!" Jade barked, before shaking her head. "i mean shoosh! that is enough questions from you. now i believe you have a space egg to conjure."

Roxy mumbled, "…egg… shove it."

"what?"

"…my fat ass."

Jade rolled her eyes and grunted, "farewell roxy." And with that, Jade disappeared with a flash of green, leaving Eridan and Roxy alone in the room.

Eridan sighed painfully, "god DAMN that fuckin girl still peevves me the FUCK off."

Roxy got up from her laid down position, playing with the cube in both hands. "yeah shes pretty bs but at least you aint gotta conjure up some stupid spike ball."

"wwell howw the fuck do wwe leavve?" Eridan asked.

Roxy shrugged. "i dunno we dont i guess. i dont wanna be killed ya feel me?"

"i couldnt care less if i wwas honestly."

"aw whats wrong fish guy?"

"eh its a long story honestly and i aint the best storyteller."

Roxy sat cross legged again, manoeuvring her hands as before to create something else. "eh we got time. ive got all the time in the world for someone such as yourself anyways. cause what else are a wizard lookin guy and leet gamer/haxor chick gonna do in a room alone for god knows how long?" She gave him a sly smile and wriggled her well kempt eyebrows at him, though Eridan was oblivious as to her true meaning.

"well i guess. then it all started wwhen i wwas four wwith my friend vvris…"
