007 - Eridan : Stop existing.

[misterwwizard]

ACTION - 1445 Mitchell

[After having his dream... Eridan wakes up. Weird, it's like nothing happened. He isn't gone or anything... This is all too odd.]

PHONE

Eridan Ampora reportin' in... even though this place says I'm gone I'm alright! No need to be fuckin' worried about me. I'm still here an' I'm still the Eridan you all know an' love.

[dreambubbly]

I'm here. I'm here and I'm still me...even if no one else thinks so.

perma-filter always

[misterwwizard]

Oh thank glub...No one's thinkin' you're the real thing too?

If you're the real thing, you should be comin' over here right now! I want to be believin' it but there's only one way I'll be knowin' for sure it's the real you, Fef.

[Translation: I'M SCARED AND ALONE PLEASE HOLD ME and who is desperate enough to need kisses and makeouts in a time of great peril? certainly not Eridan!]

[dreambubbly]

...no. Not at all. It all comes off to them as being fakey-fake fake carp.

[But there's a funny little pause. Yeah, something sounds...off. Not quite as it ought to be.]

Considering no one at home thinks I'm actually myself...okay.

[And a few minutes later, there's a hesitant knock.]

[misterwwizard]

[Eridan opens the door slowly, well there's Feferi... he thinks... but at this point he doesn't really care. It didn't matter to him if she was gone. She was here right now, even if it was a fake. He instinctively clings to Feferi, bawling.]

I talked with Sol an' Kar an they're sayin' they're the real thing too... I'm really hopin' this is all true an' we're all just fine to each other...

[dreambubbly]

[She hugs him tight, shooshing and papping, at the same time as she lets out a relieved sigh. That's her moirail and matesprit accounted for. Even if something seems weird, she's able to put it aside.]

I think it is. Ssh, now, it's all right. I'm here now. Okay?

[misterwwizard]

Fef... please just stop me if I'm doin' somethin' rash. If people aren't seein' me I'm worried what would be happenin' if my moirail doesn't even recognize me or is even rejectin' me...

[dreambubbly]

None of that talk. I'll promise, but I think you're better than rash decisions if you chose to self-sacrifice rather than keep on going.

[misterwwizard]

[He clings.]

Y-you're right... I thought doin' that would make things better for you. For Kan... for everyone.

[dreambubbly]

[She shooshes him gently.]

...I thought the same thing. That it would be better for everyone. You looked so happy in that dream...

[misterwwizard]

You looked happy to... So did Jade.

Glubbin' hell it looked like a fuckin' weight was lifted off a' both of your shoulders. Felt like I did nothin' but drag everyone down...
