the Prince of Hope

[sdkgjkj he about drops the soup okay. Don't scare him like that Marco. Eridan has enemies. Many enemies indeed.]

Greetins douchebag Japan. Wwe uh, bring you soup and tea and Marco. See, I brought Marco.

[He just hands off the soup container to Japan now while pointing up at Marco.]

From:

Yo. [Waves and grins. Then nudges Eridan inside so that he can go set up tea.]

How are the pets?

From:

Ah, thank you.

[Accepting the tea with both hands and blinking. What what is this moe he can't handre this.

Oh but moving inside to put it at the kotatsu... THERE ARE SANDWICHES ALREADY...]

They are doing well. Alstreim-san and Gakupo-san may have them somewhere for the time being... I did not run into either while preparing these sandwiches.

From:

[Eridan, though nudged inside the apartment, strolls right in and looks around Japan's apartment like a nosy kid. Maybe he's just making sure the various purple blood stains are there or not. Or he's checking to make sure Japan really isn't revolting.]

Isn't Gakupo the stupid guy? Wwhy do you hang out wwith him?

From:

Oh? Sounds nice. I hope you aren't too busy of late, bushido.

[Makes tea. What is this even.]

From:

...No, Gakupo-san is a citizen of mine.

[Glancing between them.]

Not especially. I have been mostly thinking. The view from the rooftop is nice.

From:

[Eridan is taking a sandwich now. Okok.]

...do you run into Gam on the rooftop?

From:

Gamz hangs out on the roof?

From:

I have not. Ah, I have tried other rooftops recently, since I believe my sitting spot has become a little too well known...

From:

Yeah, he likes to wwatch the sunset I think. Used to alwways wwatch it near the wwaters in Alternia.... Does Japan like wwatchin sunsets?

From:

That's kind of cute. Does the sun burn him, even that low?

Japan, I could probably show you a few, but I'm not sure how easy they are to get to without flying.

From:

...Sunsets are nice, but I prefer the sunrise.

[and a glance down.]

Ah, that is quite considerate, Marco-san, but it is not necessary...

From:

Wwell the sun isn't high and bright so no.

[turns to Japan]

You can borroww my boat to get awway from people. It's wwhat I do or else there wwould vvery wwell be a massacre next door.

From:

Understood.

So things haven't gotten better with Sol then I take it?

From:

...That's quite kind, Eridan. Ah, but I believe I should stay where people would find me, after all.

Ah, yes, how are you two? [Agreeing with Marco and asking about Eridan and Sollux]

From:

[Eridan kind of scoffs at the mention of Sollux]

That asshole? He's all full of shit noww just because he has advvantages ovver me again. But I, havve a secret wweapon against him that he doesn't knoww about.

From:

Oh? [Tilts his head, wondering if the whole apartment building will blow up.]

From:

...Weapon? Ah, Eridan, surely you will be careful...?
