So what are you gonna do when they outlaw all that superheroin' nonsense you all lowe so damn much?

[to his credit, he's trying to sound grave. (it isn't working.)]

We take this - and we're goin' to, since we got such big pushers for mustard-bellied diplomacy in charge around here - they ain't gonna be satisfied 'til they got us all on leashes. And at the first signs a dissent, they're gonna hang us by 'em. I sure hope you lot can handle the usage a our powers bein' a criminal offense, since that's the next thing to go. A Wulcanus gun in ewery Natiwe hand and a trackin' chip in ewery filthy imPort, right?

[a theatrical pause. contrary to his usual habit of getting worked up in his tirades, eridan's been very calm (albeit smug in his "my unreasonable paranoia was entirely justified" kind of way) but no less intense throughout.]

We start goin quietly into that good fuckin' nocturnal phase and we aint newer gonna stop.

I'm a Seer, Eridan. If you are going to be incredibly impulsive, I can least help you be incredibly impulsive with the least damaging outcome.

Y - what happened to the shootin' scaldin' hot blasts a light and shit?

[beat.]

Whatewer. The real question bein' how I'm supposed to know if this is a fuckin' setup or not. It ain't hard to see I got enemies out the float bladder around here, and you been one of 'em before whether you remember it or not.

You are forgetting I have had a year to not care that you were a spectacular douche with a bad temper. Your further douchebaggery did not affect me directly, but I will be silently peeved on Kanaya's behalf since she is not here. You did some bad shit. I did some poorly judged shit too. It is in the past. I am a regular Rafiki here with all this deep wisdom.

[this face ^. this one forever. ]

Whatever your "beef" with me was before, I am nullifying it for now. It pains me to say this, but we might actually accomplish something if we work together.

[a long, considering beat. then, beleaguered:]

Fine.

But if I ewen get the notion a bein' double crossed here, your charlatan head is goin' on the choppin' block so goddamn fast it'll make those horrorterror slumberbuddies a yours seasick.

Got that?

I doubt very much that you could. But we are in agreement. Likewise, if I catch even a glimmer of ulterior motives against me, Eridan, you will have needles in your eyes faster than you can glub.

[amoray]

Likewise, you ain't got a chance in hell a pullin' that off. But I guess we're always goin' to hawe to agree to disagree on somethin' or other.

So what do you got, Seer?

I will grudgingly admit that you are more versed in the history of our current situation. It won't take me long to catch up until I'm satisfied. I need to know trends in political behavior, Eridan. I need to know weaknesses that have been shown or hinted at. I need to know the people behind those in power.

[She pinches the bridge of her nose again. ]

Seeing a fortunate outcome will require that I have all the facts. After that, we can discuss a plan of action. When are you free?

[amoray]

[OH ERIDAN ROSE HOPES YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE PAYING. ]

I'm goin' to assume you can find your way there without bein' escorted, since I got a image as a stunninly pure a the soul witch-hatin' Prince a Hope and Hopelessness to keep up and all.

A reputation of douchebaggery, yes I'm aware. I can find my own way there, Eridan.
