the Prince of Hope

[ Squirming his way out from under Eridan's feet, standing, and fucking SPITTING HIS PURPLE ROYAL BLOOD ONTO THE FLOOR.

YEAH BLEEDING ISN'T SO MUCH FUN IS IT HOOKIE.

Karkat wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, looking as though he bit into the most revolting thing on the planet. ]

From:

[ERIDAN however, is horrified to find his precious royal purple blood on the god damn floor. That blood is not meant to be wasted you hookie. But suddenly, intense pain because he's still a little sunburnt from the sun.]

[He leans over to his ankles and quickly reveals that his ankle has become a fruit gusher of purple vials. Or more like a bleeding purple sharpie pressed against paper. It runs everywhere, but it isn't as bad as it could have been.]

[He doubles over in pain much like Karkat was in earlier but unlike Karkat he is not the least bit embarrassed about his blood color spewin all over the god damn floor.]

From:

[WOW YOU SAID IT WAS PURPLE BUT HE ONLY HAVE BELIEVED YOU MAN. STARING. STARING SOME MORE. OBVIOUSLY SHOCKED OVER HERE. He sets the paper and pencil down with some nervous hand-waving.]

E-eridan? Are you alright?! Shall I get bandages? [STILL STARING AT THAT PURPLE BLOOD.

THAT IS. FASCINATING.]

From:

[ Karkat would probably be grinning smuggly if he was a) capable of smiling, and b) wasn't witnessing the most pathetic display in the universe. Seriously. Why are all of his friends such fucking lunatics. Granted he really doesn't have room to talk, considering he just BIT SOMEONE'S ANKLES, but he already knew he was crazy. That's a given.

Instead he sighs. FACEPALM COMBO X2! ]

From:

[JUST. Not talking at all. Too busy indulging in emotional theatrics as he holds his bleeding ankle. There isn't a whole lot of blood as Eridan likes to think there is but there's enough to classify it as a puncture wound. Even if it isn't as deep as as it could have been.]

From:

[Japan will slide out of here, grab the kit, and return in a minute or so.]

From:

[ Meanwhile Karkat will just chill here and indulge the emotional theatrics. ]

From:

[Eridan will just sit there and lament on said emotional theatrics. And provide the lewd gesture from time to time for Karkat. Just. For. Karkat.]

From:

[RETURNING, crouching next to Eridan, and opening the medical kit!!]

Ah, here... [He would help but Karkat had seemed so against that. So um. Waiting to see.]

From:

[ Also curious to see if Eridan will let Country Japan help him. ]

From:

[No he will not let Country Japan help him. In fact, he shoves Country Japan out of the way, not really caring if that royal juices get on such a lowly land dweller.

Lowly land dwellers are not allowed to tend to the royal wounds of a prince.]

[Eridan takes the bandages and tightly wraps them around his bleeding ankle. Gritting his teeth at the tightness but he could care less once the bleeding stopped. Also it's time for a sick burn.]

From:

[did you really have to shove, he was crouching, god. so he sort of falls over, but just frowns and stands up.

guh he is depressed at the moment this is the only reason he isn't passive aggressive right now]

From:

[ Karkat would help Japan with his feelings and shit, but he's suffering from a Troll Burn. Fuck you Eridan Kelso. Yes I've been watching That 70s Show all day, shush. ]

[ He shoots a look in Japan's direction, trying to indicate the message 'DON'T YOU DARE TELL HIM ABOUT MY FREAK OUT OR I WILL KILL YOU TO DEATH' with his eyes. ]

From:

[Eridan stands up, testing his footing on his ankle. It stings but, he'll live. He shoots a glare at Japan from underneath his glasses.]

[But there is no apology, only the acknowledgment of what an asshole he is.]

From:

[Japan is standing here telling himself these are kids. Also, Karkat, he catches that look. Be grateful he can read the atmosphere.

Also just staring at Eridan. Really. Really. Must.... passive..

No... he's too tired for this.]

... In any case, I am done with the map.

From:

[ But Karkat's not really paying attention to how to insult Eridan anymore. He's glancing at the map. Back to business mode ohhh yeah, handing it over to Eridan. He's seem to have already forgotten his "useless sack of shit" comment. ]

From:

[He tucks it away in the back pocket of his pants for safe keeping since he doesn't have an inventory deck or anything relatively useful. A pocket shall do.]

From:

[Japan sort of sideglances thoughtfully.]

Ah... I do not have any plans.

From:

[ sideglancing Japan as well. you'd better not bring the pail back out. ]

From:

[He gives a glare towards Japan. Sorry Japan, the boys are such grumpy grumppants.]

From:

[Why must you both stare... how rude... He brings a hand to his face sort of thoughtfully. ow.]

I will help if you require it. ... And some of the monsters are edible, as far as I recall.

From:

[ Don't be dissin Spades Slick he is a buddy okay??? ]

[ turning to Japan ]

From:

From:

[Let's pretend for this instant that I even have a clue which monsters are edible. Next let's pretend he lists them in a calm manner before lowering his hands to his sides and sighing a little.

Good.

TAG. COMPLETE.]
