Eridan: Stop Feferi

Eridan scowls holding his gun at the ready as he follows Feferi through the thick fog. She has long thick hair pulled up at the top of her head in a pony tail trailing in curls down her back and reaching the back of her knees. Her horns go up at a slight curve at the top of her head and her eyes sparkle the brightest of fuchsia whenever she's excited. Which seems to be always. She's wearing a bright pink sleeveless shirt with a cuttle fish on the front and a blue skirt going just below her knees. Her feet are bare as she practically skips through the fog. Eridan's scowl only grows when he flinches almost shooting a giant white dragon sparkling overhead. "Why are we out here again Feferi? It's harder to protect you from out here you know."

Feferi turns her head pushing her pink rimmed glasses up on her nose before sticking her tongue out at him. Eridan keeps his hair well styled with only a strip of purple in the front to show the rebellious streak inside of him. His horns zigzag backwards from his crown and his eyes narrow in a deep violet in her direction. He's wearing a blue button shirt undone and untucked from his pinstripe black slacks. She turns and pets a small bullfly, then continues on her way. "Because, Eridan! I sensed somefin strong coming from this direction! It could be important! It could help with the revolution!"

Eridan growls shooing the bullfly away as it tries to follow them. With a frustrated huff he stomps up to walk next to Feferi. "It's probably just another stupid Lusus! Let's go back." He reaches out with his opened hand to take her wrist.

Feferi shakes her head dramatically sending curls flying everywhere and dashes ahead before Eridan can grab a hold of her. She follows her senses heading for the power she can still feel humming in the back of her head. She stops in a clearing, no life or lisus around. The ground was dented in looking as if something large had fallen from the world above leaving a huge crater. She glanced into the smokey hole, her eyes widening in excitement at the bright orange glow within. "See Eri! It's ORANGE! No way is it a normal Lusus!" She squeals with excitement hopping into the crator skidding down the sides towards the glowing orange ball in the center.

Eridan dives in the crater after her rushing to grab her hand just before she buries her webbed fingers into what looked like a glowing ball of orange feathers. Feferi turns a vicious glare at Eridan, yanking her hand back she slowly takes a few steps away from the creature. Eridan nods in satisfaction and points his gun at the floating orange fluff. With one last glance over at Feferi he pokes at it with the barrel of the gun. The feathers twitch. Curiously he digs the barrel harder into the feathers.

With a stream of curses an orange hand shoots out, looking more like the foot of a bird. It bats at the gun. "Whatever it is you want Jake get Dirk to get it for you. I'm trying to nap. And stop digging your gun into my shoulder blade."

Feferi's eyes widen in excitement and she bounces closer shoving Eridan aside and pushing her hands into soft orange plumage. With excited quick movements she shakes at the orange being. "Who's Jake? What's a Dirk? What's your name? Oh please wake up!"

The orange figure uncurls, giant wings unfolding as he stretches his bird-like hands above his head. He looks almost human, with orange hair blowing in the breeze and a clearly human torso, even his hands had five fingers like a humans would. His neck was ringed with the same soft orange feathers that graced the huge wings folding at his back. from the waste down was just plumes of orange smoke floating and disappearing into the breeze. He finished his stretch an turned a glare down at Feferi. Not that she could see it through the orange sunglasses on his face, but she could tell by the frown on his lips. "Who are you? Where am I? And why did you wake me up?"

Feferi grins flashing fangs in excitement. "My name is Feferi! This is my bodyguard Eridan! And you're in the underworld! You MUST be new here if you didn't know that!"

The bird scowls down at the two. Completely unimpressed by the large gun pointed at his chest. "The underworld? Like... Hell? Why would I be in- John... Where's John? Vriska took him. Did they make it out? You have to tell me!"

Eridan slowly lowers his gun, blinking in confusion at the bird. "Vriska? As in the goddess of luck? Why would she bother to associate with a... John? She refuses to even hang out with me since her mate's death."

The bird huffs in annoyance, his feathers puffing up. He moves a hand up to run it through his hair, stopping when he sees the bird like claws replacing his fingers. Slowly he takes in every part of himself he can see. "Aw man... I'm dead AND I lost my legs? This is not cool. This is so far from cool it's practically on fire. I mean look at it it's even SMOKING!"

Feferi waves her hand in front of the bird's face in an attempt at bringing his attention back to her. He turns his head to stare at her a scowl in place. "Perhaps we should go back to my hive. We can talk there of this John and of Vriska. And how it is you came to be a Lusus Mr...?"

"Dave... Dave Strider." He raises an orange brow. "And What's a Lusus?"

Eridan scoffs an turns resting his gun on his shoulder. He starts walking up the side of the crater back the way they came. "The bird boy is an obvious idiot. He doesn't know anything!"

Feferi smiles wrapping her webbed fingers around Dave's coarse ones and pulling him along after Eridan. "A Lusus is a spirit! One that has been separated from it's living body! It means you AREN'T dead Dave. But your spirit is stuck outside of it for some reason. Unable to return."

Dave stops floating along beside Feferi causing her to drag him along in the air like a balloon. "So... I'm not dead?"

Eridan snorts. "Give the bird a cracker he's learned something."

A bright grin spreads across Feferi's face, obviously ignoring Eridan's snide comments. "Nope! You're just a little bit lost! And we're gonna try and fish out a way to help you fin your way home!"
