[he doesn't start speaking right as the feed starts! there's a solid second or two of eridan trying to find his train of thought, the occasional heavy, expectant breath or two the only signs of his false starts.]

Well, Mexico was a shipload a fun. Don't know about anybody else's impromptu as fuck abscondin'.

Not my point of makin' this point though, so listen up, landlubbers.

[there is a decided lack of flair in eridan's voice, despite the (sharp, direct) pun/nautical reference or two. he's purposeful.]

They say they're cuttin' me loose soon, probably on account a my bein' such a charminly well-behawed prisoner and all. Due to personal circumstances, I'll be needin' to get a few affairs in order before my date a release.

I need a place to liwe, a tutor for the upcomin' schoolfeedin' year, and hopefully enough, some manner a profession. If you're willin' to hire a sewen solar sweep year old like myself, a course, don't want to go about misleadin' folk. Lyin' to 'em. Suchlike.

[a stale beat.]

No nosy hiwemates. Roommates, whatewer. I don't fuckin' like most a you and I probably won't giwe a shit about your problems, so keep your cartilage nubs outta mine. I got more than enough beetles in my coffers to keep me afloat for a while, so rent ain't gonna be an issue. Probably.

[a beat. he sounds like he means to say something dramatic or heartfelt to top off his posts like usual, and then:]

Preferably cat friendly. But I'm flexible.

LMFAO HI JESS

[amoray]

It's...

[a dump]

...nice. Cozy. I like it.

scCREAMING NO

[ankhs]

[ yes it is so messy and she loves it. ]

Here, let me show you my goldfish!

[ the camera zooms into two little goldfish swimming in a bowl ]

Their names are Joliet and Elwood!

[amoray]

Oh.

[he likes goldfish tbh. unconsciously leaning in towards his comm to get a better look!]

What kinda names are those?

[ankhs]

They're from a movie! In my place at home, I have some goldfish named Slim and Wandsworth. It seemed kind of silly to name them the same things over here when they're not the same fish.

[ she turns the camera back on her, leaning back in her chair and kicking a leg ]

I've always liked animals, but I guess I've never really been drawn to the bigger ones, you know?

[amoray]

Yeah, Nin's kinda a handful. I thought about gettin' fish on account a it bein' thematic and whatnot, but all a the cool ones are fuckin' fragile as fuck.

[b e a t]

Though I guess I could get some kinda starfish or somethin'.

[ankhs]

Well, you're not supposed to play with fish. [ hums ] Do you want a starfish, Eridan?

[amoray]

You ain't a sea dwellin' type. Sorta. Some of 'em are the kind you can mess with a litte without 'em dyin' on you.

Cuttlefish are surprisinly durable.

[beato]

Nah. The neat ones are all deep sea types. Lack a pressure kills 'em and I hate goin' down to the trenches. It's real cold.

Kinda dark.

[ankhs]

[ she sees that cuttlefish thing and kindly doesn't say anything about it ]

The dark is a little scary, isn't it?

[ she grins ]

At least, I know it is to a lot of you people!
