With a low sigh and a glare that dares either of them to say anything about him forgetting his own body, he continues. "For twwo... wwe hawe twwo sets a eyelids." He 'blinks', this time a side-to-side motion that clears the cloudiness before restoring it. "It's supposed to be for keepin' silt out a the eyes wwhen underwwater, but it blocks light a little too."
Really, if pressed he'd maintain it's not his fault he forgot about the second eyelid, considering he doesn't live underwater and, back on Alternia, would only swim in the waters near his hive where he didn't need to use them as much.

''Well, keep doing the eye thing then if that helps. Landdweller, Seadweller.. Are there other kinds of trolls?''

Yes. Yes he could. But he won't, because he's going to press on with his explanation. "Kan's is just green, wwhich wwould ordinarily make her pretty loww class, but jade green is really rare an' it means she's the most important kind a landdwweller a all." At the end of his explanation, he pushes his glasses back up on his nose.

''You're right, we should start focusing on the upcoming attack.'' Gokudera would much rather talk more about troll-related topics, the blood stuff was interesting, but lives were in jeopardy so now wasn't the time sadly. He turns to Eridan. ''I've seen her weapon; do you have one too? Can you fight if it comes to that?'' Coming up with some sort of strategy was easier if he knew what everyone were capable of.

Once he pulls the trigger, releasing an energy burst, perhaps the only thing that remains to be said is 'What chair?', but Eridan clearly has other ideas. "If you think that's still too powwerful, I might be able to dial it back a little more."

"In my opinion shooting down walls would be rather drastic. Even disregarding the risk inherent given our location, there's still the question of how the soldiers will react. And the terrorists. And the traitors." She looks at Gokudera, seeming for a moment less like a ragripping battle lumberjacqueline and much more like a terrified kidnapped young girl. "In all honesty I still have very little comprehension of what these factions are doing." Demonstrated by her perception of a distinction between the traitors and terrorists. "If you could clarify I'd really appreciate it."

''Do you guys have a better idea? We can scan the whole bloody facility one more time before going to drastic measures if that's more preferable? I'm pretty sure that we need to get into the main living quarters in order to find any clues, and no one has been able to find any sort of entrance so far.. Hell, there might not even be one since they mainly use teleportation to get around. Look.'' He points at some crudely drawn lines and symbols on the table. ''This is how we'll do it if the search don't yield any results. Point A is us, and point B is the wall. We stand at the opposite end of the room, outside it even, slam the door shut after we fire the weapon on the distant wall, and wait to see if we hear any sounds before opening it again. The wall should fix itself if its one of the main ones.'' Well, it had done so in Prussia's case anyhow so hopefully it'd do that this time too. ''But I can certainly handle it on my own if you aren't interested.''
''Concerning the other question.. We can roughly be divided into three main factions; us, the soldiers, and the terrorists/traitors etc. We were already trapped here when the terrorists decided to hide in the ship, and the soldiers are out to get them so we are sort of caught in the middle of it all since both parties wants our co-operation. The soldiers have captured three of us, and threatens to torture and kill them unless we murder or bring them the terrorists. They've already started the torture part, and killed one of the hostages..'' 'Prussia's' face darkens, and there's a sudden loud bang as he slams his fist into the table with great force. ''We must act before they kill another one! To put it simply; the respawn function needs to be fixed, the hostages must be rescued, and the soldiers dealt with one way or another.''

Did Gokudera just imply he couldn't handle a task as simple as taking out a wall?!
He might end up talking over Kanaya in his utter indignance at that notion, because nothing is more important (to him, at any rate) than his pride. "If you're tryin' to say I can't handle shootin' a hole in a wwall then you need to jus'... jus'... shut the glub up! Excuse me for not wwantin' to risk gettin' all a us killed wwhen wwe hawe no wway a comin' back to life that I knoww of! God, are all a you humans complete fuckin' idiots or is that somefin unique to you?!"
The worst thing about all that yelling is that he is flirting. Hardcore hateflirts, to be exact. Of course, without knowing troll body language, there's really no way to tell that this is flirting. Which may actually be for the best.

She digs her fingers into his shoulder, half-shaking. "Eridan. This isn't the time. Our entire goal is to escape and if successful we would never even see any of these people again. If you can't even manage to control yourself for a few hours your desired black activity will quite possibly be acquired by means of lipstick so colored." In a sharp lower voice: "And he's ten."
After a deep sigh she begins to speak more broadly. "But his points about the rifle are valid. If we don't know the layout, that means any given wall could lead to the vacuum of space, which even a room away will still be potentially lethal. Which if the footage I saw is accurate has a tendency to lead to death." ...wait, wasn't Gokudera in that footage?! ...not the time to question that. "I'll acknowledge the situation is dire enough that use of force is certainly potentially valid, and we do need to act quickly, but quickly acting to get ourselves thrown into the void isn't much of an answer."
