I don't really understand this Empress business, but I'll be glad to help out if you need it.

[misterwwizard]

Any help is appreciated, a' course!

Long as its okay with Fef. I wouldn't want anyone gettin' involved as long as its okay with her.

[hintcoinplz]

[She probably wouldn't approve, but...]

Do you have more information on whoever this Empress is?

[envyspites]

Oooo, who's this Feferi person?

[misterwwizard]

She's my matesprit.

Well you humans would be callin' her my girlfriend but I'm likin' the term matesprit better it's more universal.

[why did you say you had a girlfriend Eridan you're not going to hear the end of it]

[envyspites]

Ohuhuhuhuhuhu! Mister Ampora has a girlfriend, eh?

[misterwwizard]

A' course I do! What, you expected a troll a' my caliber to be forever alone?

How proud I am to see that my daughter has found such an earnest beau. You must drop by for dinner sometime.

[misterwwizard]

You must be the male human lusus a' her house. I don't think we've ever met, I think we must a' been off doin' our own things whenever I've been comin' over to see her.

Name's Eridan. You've probably heard a' me.

[tenebrousking]

Eridan?

[And his voice, languid and sleek, loses all cheer.]

Indeed I have.

[misterwwizard]

[He hopes that's not a bad thing. Incredibly nervous now, he is.]

O-only good things, I hope!

You sounded like a really stupid troll at times. But at least you have the sense of not doing anything stupid anymore.

[Specially since he wanted to join that Condescension troll. Baaaad vibes from her.

Oh and, Eridan? She sounds just like Aradia.]

[misterwwizard]

[Well, did not expect to here Aradia say that.]

Yeah I know Ara I've said some really stupid things at times. I don't think I'll be doin' anythin' stupid like I did before...

[demonmaid]

...this Aradia troll is really famous right?

I'm starting to get a bit jealous.

[misterwwizard]

Not so much as famous as her bein' a friend to all a' us.

I know that feelin' If I met someone that was stealin' my fuckin' limelight i'd be downright fuckin' pissed. Even if it was fuckin' Dualscar himself that was doin' it.

[frogst]

I'll be right there.

[ And Jade doesn't say much else before she's hurrying over. Rick lets her in, so she goes right for Eridan's bedroom, knocking urgently. ]

Hey, it's me!

[misterwwizard]

[Eridan opens the door immediately and clings to . Clinging tightly as Feferi did to him earlier.]

I'm scared, Jade. She's in town. The fuckin' Condesce herself.

She's powerful, an' I'm scared. What if things go wrong an' I fuck up....

[frogst]

[ The Condesce? She doesn't know much about her, only from what Karkat's mentioned while talking about the ancestors. From the way Eridan is acting, her presence here is definitely not a good thing. ]

Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of. You won't fuck up.

[misterwwizard]

I'm glad someone's havin' faith in me. Anyone that stands against her is usually brutally killed an'... Feferi's going to be her first target... Then who knows who she'll go after.

I promised Fef I'd be stayin' by her side no matter what, so I know I won't fail on that? I want to fight by her side an' make her dream come true.

But what if we stand against the Condesce an' fail? What'll happen to us?
