Phone, unfiltered.[Eridan's been pretty confident about this whole new leaf he's been turning. He's got a moirail, a potential matesprit... Everything. Hell, he's even sure about this whole human homecoming dance thing...Doesn't care about filters for this because hey, he wants the whole world to hear his declarations

[words do not capture how badly Terezi wants to yell OH GOG WHY right now but oh well]

...

It's sure gonna be a party.

[misterwwizard]

That it is Ter I'll be showin' all a' these humans how we fuckin' dance on Alternia.

My sweet moves will be leavin' them wonderin' why they ever picked on me.

[foretastes]

I had no idea you were into dancing. But rest assured nobody can outdance me.

[misterwwizard]

My moves are like water. Got a natural fuckin' flow to them that's hard to be replicatin'.

Had to be comin' up with some moves to be dodgin' the angel's attacks after all.

PFF as if you can beat me know who you're dealin' with right?

[chastesaw]

*Oh, this isn't going to end well. But if Feferi hasn't said anything yet...*

Eridan. What are you doing.

[misterwwizard]

Well, askin' Fef to the dance. What does it look like I'm doin'? We've been actin' rather flush for each other an' apparently that's what you're supposed to be askin' someone you're feelin' quite red for in this human society.

[chastesaw]

Your understanding of human romantic customs aside, are you really trying to pretend you didn't do what you did to her?

[misterwwizard]

Kan I'm not tryin' to pretend that what I did didn't happen. I was gonna be tellin' her eventually. Can't be sweepin' what I did under a rug an' pretendin' otherwise, after all....

[dreambubbly]

[If this had been before her conversation with Kanaya? She would have said yes. But she knows now and her voice is strained from all the crying she's done, is still doing if her sniffles and all are any indicator.]

...when were you going to tell me, Eridan?

[misterwwizard]

[Oh... he knows exactly what she's talking about. He sighs...his heart sinking at her tears.]

Well Fef... I was gonna be tellin' you, wanted to wait until I proved I was changed an' things weren't just startin' up, to avoid hurtin' both a' us...wanted you to hear it when you knew I wouldn't be pullin' such a stunt again.

[dreambubbly]

In other words, you were going to wait till after I'd committed to this thing and put my aquatic bladder out there for you to take and you'd done it, and then go "Oh by the way, I killed you and then went and destroyed the Matriorb so there is no way that our species has a future, but I'm not going to do it again!"

[And she breaks down crying again.]

[misterwwizard]

That... That's not what I was meanin'... I swear...

[He's starting to cry too.]

I'm sorry...I couldn't bear to be seein' your face all ruined when you were so happy with how things were goin'...

[friendly_ghosts]

[When you don't filter your calls, you get giggling, immature children. Enjoy.]

You talk kind of funny. What's a flushcrush?

[misterwwizard]

It's like... well, it's pretty much a troll thing. Closest thing you humans have got is all a' that love stuff.

[friendly_ghosts]

A troll? Like in the fairy tales?

[She recently met a unicorn, so sure. Why not.]

[crusthatecean]

No.

No, absolutely not. You complete shit sucking bilgesack. What the fuck is wrong with you?

private

[dreambubbly]

Karkat...please. I'm trying to wrap my head around everything Kanaya told me. And she told me everything. So please...just let me try and get my thinkpan straightened out before I go glubbing off the handle.

[Poor Fef hardly has a voice by now; too much crying.]

[crusthatecean]

Oh god.

Feferi, I'm so sorry. I should have told you right away, but I didn't know what to do.

[dreambubbly]

Don't worry...not your fault. You didn't make the situation so messed up.
