[eridan has put this post off long enough and the thought is plain on his face -- disgust that he's stooping so low to supplicate like this, and an almost-nervous apprehension battle for emotional domination. not quite sure how to feel about this, he's seemingly settled for his default aloof setting. it's comforting.]

Okay, I guess I'll admit I

[...to say that this is the worst partner finding tactic he's seen yet would be an understatement.]

[Oops, I meant voice.]

[novelvision]

You cannot expect to win a person's heart by insulting them before you've even known them.

no worries! also woice.

[vvanquishing]

Whoa, hang on one moment here. When did I insult anyone?

If anything, I think I was bein' pretty fuckin' courteous if I say so myself.

Re: no worries! also woice.

[novelvision]

You implied that other Weapons could be stupid or useless when none of them are. As a Meister, it is your responsibility to learn how to wield your chosen Weapon effectively; only bad Meisters blame their Weapons. And watch your language, such profanity isn't suitable on the network.

[vvanquishing]

Well yeah, I wouldn't blame my Weapon since by nature I'm only goin' to pick a good one. With our skills combined there wouldn't even be any fuck-ups to sling blame around for, so I don't see what the issue is here.

And ugh, not that tired old complaint again. I don't get what the big deal is with that either!

[novelvision]

Most partnerships do not work that easily. Though you're on the right track with finding common ground, your crassness will only lead to misunderstandings.

[vvanquishing]

[a small pause]

Are you a Weapon or a Meister?

[novelvision]

I'm a Meister.

[vvanquishing]

Then pardon me for bein' a little more crass when I say FUCK YOU, that's none a your business if you're not some Weapon I need to charm.

[novelvision]

Charm? That kind of charm will doom you to a lifetime spent with an old maid who only wants you because you can drive a car!

[vvanquishing]

What the-- what the honest everlivin' fuck is that even supposed to mean?!

I could charm the holy sanctified spit out of a fuckin' goddess and it'd make you weep your pitiful human tear ducts bone-dry if you were around to witness it without goin' blind!

[novelvision]

[This may be some blinking over the other end, not like it can be seen. Also, topic change, go!]

It means that only a blind goddess would accept you as a worthy follower, driver and lover. Though it is scandalous, I have no doubt that you'll manage just fine if such a goddess existed.

[vvanquishing]

[head in hands what the fuck]

Oh my god, what the fuck are you on about? Do YOU even know?

Whatever! Point is this ain't for you, your advice is retarded and unsolicited, and if you aren't goin' to make yourself useful and point me in the direction of a Weapon who isn't a droolin' fuckwit like you then you can do us both a favor and toss yourself off the nearest tall building!

[novelvision]

[See this sword? It's not a great sword, but it's a pretty sharp sword.]

What!? Saying that when you don't even know what you're up against...I've had enough, you can die in a car accident!

[vvanquishing]

[a sneery sneer.]

As if either that or that toothpick a yours would be enough to off me. Don't make threats you can't follow up on, it's unbecomin'.

[novelvision]

It's not a toothpick, it's a sword. [A pause; and then he says this:]

I would engage you with both of my Weapons, but it would be unfair because you're still lacking one of your own and I dislike involving people in my personal matters.
