[To Eridan? It wasn't the curse that had been long, no, his confinement was what was long. The days he had spent in the lab, in this fucking cage, unable to get out, unable to get help. No food, no water, nothing, just him and the fucking cage. When Stein approaches, he looks exactly like a caged animal, because he definitely, in a way, was just that. But that initial fear soon becomes anger when he realizes that Stein isn't that woman--whatever the fuck THAT thing was! His brows furrow and his lips pull tight into a snarl.]

Hello there? Fuckin' HELLO THERE? How about instead a sayin' some bullshit greetin' you let me the FUCK outta this thing!?

[Sup, this is Eridan and he's kinda really pissed.]

[patchworkdoctor]

[well, aren't you a pissy little thing.

he frowns slightly, standing and turning the screw and just staring.]

You're one of the trolls. The purple-blooded one, right?

[he sounds almost bored.]

I remember someone telling me all about you.

[the incessant turning stops and he frowns, sticking his hands in his pockets.]

The only problem now, is... what do I do with you?

[yerawizarderri]

[Incredulous stare.]

Like I giwe a fuck what someone may hawe said about me, like that ewen is a thing I'm worried about at this goddamn point! [Snarling.] Yeah, I hawe the royal fuckin' purple blood, but what does that ewen matter other than the fuckin' obwious.

See, what you need to be doin'? Cuz, what you're gonna do with me isn't a fuckin' problem, no, see, YOU are gonna let me the FUCK go. See? Fuckin' simple.

[patchworkdoctor]

Humm.

[he's obviously not listening to Eridan anymore as he goes about finishing his task: rearranging his lab. it seems he's run into a problem here, but he's also run into a fantastic opportunity.

on one hand, he's stuck in a bubble at the bottom of the sea. one slip-up could be disastrous.

on the other, he's being given a one-in-a-lifetime chance. if he's going to get into trouble for anything, he could very well blame it on the curse if he had to. no one knows where Eridan is. no one will know.

no one has to know a goddamn thing.

besides, he's not interested in killing the troll. no, that would be ruining all of the chances he has at studying this entirely different and incredibly unique species. and this could be the best subject he'll ever have - if he's supposed to be royal somehow, perhaps his organs are different, or he reacts to things in different ways

A DERP appears!

[Lea is tired. Lea is tired and he just wants to go to sleep forever under his bed.

But he's even more determined than he is scared and tired. After doing everything wrong, he really wants to do things right. But until he can prove himself to everyone else, he figures his biggest responsibility is to Stein. They've both been through one hell of a week, so he might as well watch after him, right? He's his morail. It's what he has to do.

So, with dinner on a small tray, Lea trots down the stairs to the basement. He's really in something of a daze and still a bit tired, but better than he was before. He's at least almost healthy. He's even a normal peach color again!

And then he opens the door.]

Hey, Stein, stop forgetting to...

[He trails off, frozen in the doorway and just. Staring

GOTTA CATCHEM ALL

[patchworkdoctor]

[oh woah shit

forgot to lock the door.]

Hm?

[he turns, covered in the special purple blood Eridan's body is full of. well, not so much anymore. most of its being perpetuated through a complex series of tubes Stein's hooked up to keep Eridan alive, as he doesn't really have a donor if his subject loses too much. he shifts, raising an eyebrow and glancing at the now extensive mess on the floor.]

..What was dinner?

DERP used WTF

[prominence_glow]

Ka... Kadai... Thing...

[His mouth moves on autopilot as his brain still tries to get over what's going on. When it finally jumpstarts, Lea tosses the tray aside and nearly slips over the mess on the floor in his haste to get over to the operating table. There's some- this smell in the air, and it's weird and new but somehow Lea still knows it's the smell of Eridan's blood flooding the room.]

STEIN! What the fuck did you do!? Stop it! Fix him! Fix him now!

It's not very effective! MAD DOCTOR uses BUH?

[patchworkdoctor]

I- he's not broken.

[Stein looks down at Eridan, cocking his head. he actually seems very healthy.]

I noticed he was down here and decided to dissect him. His race is very fascinating. It's like nothing I've ever seen before.

Don't worry. Everything's still connected. It won't take long to put him all back together when I'm done.

wow we are rockstars. 833 this plot is so awesome.

[patchworkdoctor]

[Stein works his way back up to the main lab, closing the door to the basement and listening for a moment. his lab coat and shirt are covered in Eridan's blood; his arms have a bit of it streaked up, as well, but his coat covers most of the damage. he can still feel it cooling, and finds himself annoyed. if Lea hadn't come down, he wouldn't have had any of these new problems. god willing, Eridan wouldn't die on the table while he dealt with this... complication

sorry this took so long >.<;

[patchworkdoctor]

Oh.

[well, damn, that was cool. where'd those scythes even come from? he wonders what Eridan uses to fight, wonders if he could force that to come out - or if it's a total will sort of thing.

he supposes it is.

Stein easily sidesteps Karkat, but doesn't lash out at him.]

I'd really rather not hurt you.
