[01:41] CA: *without her help he would have fallen down the stairs, but luckily he has her and he makes it to the bedroom just fine*

[01:42] AG: *plops him down on the bed, sitting nex to him* Ok, I'm going to ask again, 8ut a little differently this time. What the fuck?

[01:47] CA: *pulls off his cape and lays down, but doesn't exactly toss it aside and just kinda sits there with his cape half blanketing him* i already told you i swwam inside the things mouth an it screamed

[01:53] AG: I know THAT, 8ut........*HUFFS* That was so STUPID!!!!!!!! What if-what if you hadn't made it out and you went down with it?! *her arms are kind of starting to flail around now, getting more jerky the more she goes on* O-or what if it just fucking ATE you, since that's what mouths are fucking USED for!

[02:06] CA: *goes a little pale as his matesprit gets more and more upset* *shrinks into the covers and pillow as he stares wideeyed at her*

[02:15] AG: *she isn't looking at his by this point, and if she had been she might've toned it down some, but alas.....* Why would you do something so stupid and dangerous! We had it fucking under control-I guess sort of, 8ut hell, there was no reason for you to risk your goddamn LIFE like that!!!!!!!! You-*sighs a heavy sigh, reaching up to rub her forehead, frowning, but she is done for now. at least while she thinks up different ways to tell him what he did was stupid*

[02:18] CA: ... *he looks away from her and play swith the edge of his cape as he listens to her* ... i thought i wwas supposed to die

[02:19] AG: *blinks, her face falling from anger to worry almost instantly*........What?

[02:20] CA: .... i thought i had to do it because i wwas supposed to die cause mit told me he predicted my death

[02:22] AG: *finally does look at him again, not really sure how to respond to that as her heart practically stops* He........He did?

[02:24] CA: yeah... just the other day he told me... but i didnt die *looks at her, and suddenly starts to wonder about the whole thing*

[02:28] AG: No, you didn't........*but she still can't shake that worried feeling, because who knows if that was supposed to be it or not? she's not about to say that outloud though*........So just 8ecause you thought you were supposed to die, you charged right at it?

[02:29] CA: i dunno.... it seemed like the best wway to make sure it died so it wwouldnt kill all a you

[02:33] AG: *closes her eyes and sighs. on one hand, she understands completely what he means, more than what she'd like to understand. but on the other, she's selfish and wants to be angry with him again for doing it and risking his life* Eridan........

[02:38] CA: ... im sorry vvris... at least all i got wwas my ears blasted out *nervous chuckle*

[02:41] AG: *sighs again, opening her eyes to look back over at him, giving him a "Really?" look* Yeah, you're really fucking lucky.

[02:45] CA: .... maybe its cause luck is on my side *tries to butter her up with puns*

[02:50] AG: ................*god damnit* Ugh, fuck. *cheese too strong, and she rolls her eyes, holding her arms out a little towards him with a groan* Come heeeeeeeere.

[02:55] CA: .... *moves into her embrace and cuddles her*

[02:58] AG: *wraps her arms around him tightly, pressing her cheek to his*........I'm just glad you're alright.

[02:59] CA: .... ill try not to do that again either.... *kisses her cheek*

[03:04] AG: *queue slight blushu at the kiss* Good. And........Just 8e extra careful while we're out here, ok? Just in case?

[03:13] CA: yeah.... i wwill be... i dont wwant you to be alone again *nuzzles*

[03:13] CA: *it's the night for cheese*

[03:20] AG: *oh god that cheese hit her hard. cheese is supposed to be soft and mushy, not painful like this hunk of cheese. she lets out a breathy laugh, hoping he couldn't see her face when she did that because it definitely did not match that action. she buries her face into his shoulder for good measure, holding onto him tighter*

[03:28] CA: *clings to her back and just sits there hanging onto her, having no idea exactly how deeply he GOT HER* *gives her a kiss on the head*

[03:38] AG: *sniffles a little, bringing her head back around to look at him and gives him a small smile. she feels the need to lighten the mood some now, for her sake, and she reaches up to touch a bead of water that was about to drip out of his hair* Ugh, you fucking ruined me. I don't know what I'd do without you now.

[03:44] CA: independant vvriska... dependant on an assfuck like me *nuzzles her again* ita a good thing i dont plan on goin anywwhere

[03:49] AG: *laughs genuinely this time* That is a good thing. A very good thing. *nuzzles him back, then touches her forehead to his, still smiling a him*

[03:59] CA: *kisses her head one more time before he began to drift off*

[04:03] AG: *sighs, her head finding a place to rest on his shoulder again as she starts to nod off as well, but there was one last thing to do before she passes out*........I love you.

[04:05] CA: *smiles and mumbles* i lovve you too *back before falling alseep entirely*

[04:07] AG: *she could tell him all damn day that she loves him, but she's still not used to hearing him say it back. and with that, she grins, nuzzling into his shoulder one last time before falling asleep as well*

[04:07] -- arachnoGolden [AG] gave up trolling corpseAnnotator [CA] at 04:07 --

[a8scond-or-advance]

ERIDAN: *is feeling a little better today after drinking faygo with karkat last night, but is still feeling gloomy and off, and rather than manning the helm is just sitting near it, watching the waves dramatically*

TAVROS: *picking the wax out of his dumb cow ears with his fat pinky. He looks a little tired and distant, as if he hasn't been getting a lot of sleep due to keeping a giant dog lusus secret... whoops.*

MEENAH: *man she really still needs to interrogate that guy*

VRISKA: *has been such an oh so good captain by staying down below deck all night so far, finally dragging her lazy ass topside with a yawn/stretch and speaks to no one in particualr* Anything new to report?

KARKAT: *practically falling out of the crows nest with how he's leaning over the edge all bored and shit. he makes a vague grunting sound as if to say WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK*

JAKE: *Is practicing playing the cello in his cabin, for lack of knowing what one is actually supposed to do on a ship*

JOHN: *Currently watching movies in his cabin; pirate movies. Is in the middle of treasure planet right now*

MEENAH: *for whatever reason, meenah somehow has a set of those human golf clubs with adorable little fuschia balls. shes whackin em into the sea out of boredom*

ARANEA: *watching Meenah whack said golf 8alls into the sea*

TAVROS: *watches those balls go flying and promptly commences the golf clapping.*

VRISKA: *you guys are fucking nerds*

MEENAH: if i run outta these someones gonna have to retrieve em

MEENAH: *whack*

TAVROS: *nose goes*

ARANEA: *pointer finger meet nose*

ARANEA: I guess it's you, Vriska.

VRISKA: Heeeeeeeell no.

MEENAH: looks like its ampora

MEENAH: *whap*

JAKE: *is suddenly overcome with the urge to itch his nose mid-rendition of the soundtrack to star wars*

ERIDAN: *looks up from where he is* wwait wwhat about me *is probably the only one besides meenah who realistically could retrieve those BAWLS*

MEENAH: yer ball boy

ARANEA: *he'll finally get his 8alls*

ERIDAN: *hey now*

ARANEA: *wink wonk*

-If anyone is paying attention to the way the ship is moving, they may just feel a very slight jerk at this moment. Nothing major, but it definitely just happened-

MEENAH: *squints as she totally fucks up her shot*

VRISKA: Wow, nice.

MEENAH: you eel that

ERIDAN: *doesn't pay it much mind* its just the wwind or somethin either that or you just such that much

JAKE: *Breaks out into a strirring version of the braveheart theme*

ARANEA: *wheezes as her stomach squashes into the railing*

VRISKA: *shrugs* Can't have nice smooth sailing all the time. It was nothing.

TAVROS: *coughs really loudly and obnoxiously to try to cover up the soft growling coming from below deck. something seems to be disturbing the lusus nobody knows about.*

JOHN: *i know all about it dude*

TAVROS: *NO YOU DON'T SHOOSH*

JOHN: *BE THANKFUL I'M SO NEUTRAL*

ERIDAN: ...... did you hear somethin *looks at vriska*

VRISKA: *squiiiints* Yeeeeeeeeah........*now she's squinting at all y'all. something fishy's goin on here*

TAVROS: *sweats* iT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING,

-Thankfully for Tavros and his new dumb pet, a distraction comes along in the form of another jerk comes along, this time a little more obvious. It could almost feel like something was nudging the ship, but it's still not very threatening-

JOHN: *finally out of his cabin, he walks up to tavros without really minding his tone of voice or anything* dude, can you do something about the dog?? i can barely hear the movie's dialogue with both growling and jake's cello!

JOHN: *whoops, probably nothing was heard with the sudden jerk of the ship, and he stumbles a little*

VRISKA: ................*doesn't know which problem to address first. you're in trouble mister*

TAVROS: w-wHA? wHAT DOG-- wHOA, *shifts a little with the ship*

ERIDAN: .... *SIGHS and really hopes they're not getting hit by rokes or anything* wwait.. *looks over at john* DOG

ERIDAN: *ROCKS

JOHN: um. *quickly glances at tavros like WAS IT A SECRET*

VRISKA: Did you fucking........

VRISKA: Oh. My god.

TAVROS: *glaring at John like YES IT WAS*

JOHN: i... meant log. it was a log.

JOHN: that kept making noise. yeah.

VRISKA: John.

TAVROS: yES, tHAT'S RIGHT, *what the FUCK*

VRISKA: Is that fucking lusus. 8elow deck right now.

ERIDAN: ................................

JOHN: no, i just told you it was a log! that...fell of a cabin's ceiling.

TAVROS: uHHHH,

MEENAH: is that whats rollin this shit around or what

TAVROS: i DON'T THINK SO, hE'S VERY EVEN TEMPERED,

TAVROS: i MEAN,

TAVROS: fUCK,

KARKAT: *has to grip the edge of the nest really quickly in order to not actually fall out, making various noises of annoyance*

JOHN: *facepalms*

VRISKA: *SQUINTS*

JOHN: *YOU BLEW MY PERFECT COVER WOW*

ARANEA: *skeptically* An even-tempered log?

TAVROS: ,,, yES,

JOHN: *mutters behind his hand* the best kind of log...

KARKAT: *settles back down to watch this pathetic display below him*

ERIDAN: ................ *starts marching below deck*

KARKAT: *mumbles* BUSTED.

TAVROS: w-WAIT, nO! *scampers after Eridan* dON'T HURT HIM,

VRISKA: *stays back to sloooowly shake her head at John*

JOHN: *:(*

ERIDAN: WWHY did you bring that THING on board you didnt evven KNOWW if my ship could evven HOLD it

ERIDAN: an HOWW did you get it on board wwithout us evven SEEIN *MARCH STOMP STOMP*

-Too bad, the people that just ran below deck are going to miss the quick little water show that just happened. It was just a small splash of water into the air to the side of the ship, but it would've still been pretty cool to see*

TAVROS: i, pUT IT IN MY SYLLADEX, uM, aND i HAD TO BRING HIM WITH ME, bECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE DIED, aLONE ON THE OTHER SHIP, }:(

KARKAT: *startled by the water, he grips the side again and is actually audible when he says* IS THAT NORMAL?

JAKE: *Finally sensing that something is amiss he lays the cello he has named sigourney carefully down upon his pillow pile and emerges into the corridor* Alright, what in sam hill is all this commotion?

MEENAH: could be a whale or somefin

KARKAT: RIGHT. DUH. *sighs at himself. he's doin so much sighing on this trip*

VRISKA: *shrugs* Yeah, it's fiiiiiiiine, sheesh. Everyone needs to stop 8eing so paranoid around here.

JOHN: *some water sprayed on his glasses, so he hald saw half didn't. proceeds to clean them with his vest*

JOHN: **half

ARANEA: ::::( *What the 8 hells was /that/?*

MEENAH: *scratches her chin a bit before shrugging and cannonballing right into the water*\

KARKAT: *oh okay have fun*

ARANEA: Meenah!

JOHN: *once the glasses are clean, he decides to hang out near the edge of the ship to see what meenah'd be up to*

ERIDAN: *wasn't up there for it, and is searching below deck for this lusus and when he finds it he whips around and gives Tavros THE EYE*

-Should Meenah have a quick little look around while she's under, she will notice a lumbering mass of flesh and tentacles hovering a good distance away from the ship. It looks like it may be swimming away, however-

TAVROS: lISTEN, i WON'T KEEP HIM HERE FOR MUCH LONGER, i JUST, dIDN'T WANT HIM TO BE ALL ALONE, aND DIE, aLL ALONE, i-IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, cONSIDERING HE'S, sTAYED OUT OF EVERYONE'S WAY, rIGHT?

MEENAH: *that was quite what she went down there for and as such she deins to swim/float back up* yoooo got some tentacle shit goin on down there

VRISKA: *blinks*

VRISKA: What.

JAKE: *adjusts his bandana before squaring his shoulders and deciding to sort of... sit on the stairs until he can do something useful*

MEENAH: somefin big and with tentacles

MEENAH: so reely were either fucked or its asquid

KARKAT: ARE YOU SAYING WE AREN'T FUCKED IF IT'S A SQUID?

MEENAH: pssh squids are cool man

ERIDAN: yeah but if HES the reason this boat is rockin im gunna havve your head on a fuckin silvver platter *glare glare glare*

KARKAT: THEY COULD HAVE SOME VENDETTA AGAINST US, YOU DON'T KNOW. *nah he's hoping it's a squid too*

TAVROS: i SWEAR, iT ISN'T HIM! hE'S A GOOD BOY, }:(

MEENAH: yeah well calimari sounds p good right now anywave

ARANEA: Tavros, you can commune, right? Can't you tell wh8ver it is to kindly........swim away?

-Another jolt hits the ship, this time way more menacing than the others, tilting the ship a good ways to one side before roughly rolling back into place. It seems like your friend isn't a squid afterall, and was just swimming away to rev itself up-

ARANEA: *screams to Tavros, hoping he can hear her*

JAKE: *TUMBLES DOWN THE STAIRS; WE HAVE LEARNT NOTHING*

KARKAT: JESUS SHIT. *is sent to slam into the little wooden wall and then stumbles back when the ship is righted again*

MEENAH: ughghghghghh cant have one fuckin boat trip without some stupid shit like this

ERIDAN: *FUCK he tumbles into Tavros's arms*

TAVROS: *hears his name but is distracted right away by being shoved around by Eridan. He grabs at him to keep him steady* wHOA THERE,

JOHN: whoa- what?? *almost stumbles, but holds on to the side of the ship he was hanging out at for support*

-If John is looking over the edge of the ship he is leaning over, he will see a very, VERY, large shadow creeping back into the depths of the sea-

JAKE: *Ah yes he hasn't been hit on the head in ages time to lie at the bottom of the stairs for a while*

VRISKA: Gah, FUCK!!!!!!!! *steadies herself, ready to pull out her weapon*

JOHN: *his eyes widen as he spots said shadow. he calls out to the rest of the crew.* guys, there's some sort of monster out there!

JOHN: it just went back to the ocean, but it's HUGE!

VRISKA: Aw hell.

ERIDAN: *oohhh tavros oohhh* *but he doesn't daudle, he rushes on up the stairs back on deck a nd looks around* the FUCK is goin on

VRISKA: We've got company!!!!!!!!

ARANEA: *clings to the railing for dear life* What is that thing?!

KARKAT: GIANT TENTACLE MONSTER. GEE, I WONDER WHY THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

ARANEA: ((Geddit? Dear, sweet, Life?))

JAKE: *I guess eridan trod on jake on the way up but hey he's mostly concious again so that's good*

JAKE: *Stumbles to join everyone else* Wheresh the fire??

ERIDAN: *STOMPED ALL OVER HIM*

JAKE: *still hotter than u*

ERIDAN: *HOW DARE*

MEENAH: its another piece of shit monster with tentacles tryin to wreck our shit did you -EXP-ECT ANYFIN DIFF-ER-ENT

JOHN: *girls girls you're both pretty. i mean hopey*

TAVROS: *chains up his pooch before scrambling up onto the deck to see what the heckie is going on*

ERIDAN: WWHAT *runs to the railing and peers over the side of the shit* youre shittin me RIGHT

JOHN: nope, it's right over there. *points at the spot it dived down*

-To the opposite side of the ship that John is pointing, off in the distance, the water is starting to part. You can see a grey-ish brown mass starting to rise up with the water, but only just that. Whatever it is, it's headed right for you, and it's headed fast-

ARANEA: Thank you for you input, Meenah. It's always relevant to our needs.

MEENAH: can it windfang *she stumbles over, leaping off the ship to intercept the rocketing mass heading towards them*

ARANEA: *had turned around to retort-- i mean-- lovingly smile at her m8sprit, so she she had a nice view of the greyish 8rown thing coming in their general dire-* WHAT IS ////////THAT////////?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

JAKE: *already unsteadily reaching for the guns* Monster? Probably?

ERIDAN: fuck... *spreads his wings and flies up from the deck, hands glowing* *tries to take a blast at the beast, fearing if it collides with his ship it'll break it or tip it over, neither of which would be good*

MEENAH: *forks out, shes takin it )(-EAD ON*

JAKE: *Begins shooting with all the accuracy of katniss on horse tranquilizers* *it's still away from you guys don't worry*

-Oh Meenah. This thing is far too big for you to handle on your own. Still, it keeps on going, ignoring Meenah, or does it even notice her? Who knows. And those shots sure do tickle, Eridan and Jake. Point is, they're just pissing it off, and it's still headed right for the ship, and it dives back into the water just before it introduces its head with the side of the ship, splashing a good amount of water all

over the deck and gives it another good shake-

JAKE: *Is sent smacking back into the entrance to below-decks, narrowly avoiding falling down the stairs again*

ARANEA: *tum8le tum8le tum8le to the other side of the ship*

KARKAT: *full force smacks into the mast, sent plopping on his ass with a groan. he forces himself up to climb down the nets. it's time to man the cannons.*

ARANEA: *........tum8le tum8le tum8le tum8le tum8le*

VRISKA: *okay, that's it, out comes the sword. glances around to make sure everyone is okay*

KARKAT: *there's no time for being super careful so he's down quicker than he usually is, running down below to where the cannons are. now he just needs someone to help him out so things don't explode in his face*

MEENAH: *good thing she can breathe underwater or this plan would be kinda dumb*

TAVROS: *doesn't do much besides get all wet and somehow manage to pull out his lance after being thrown about a bit. He's trying to keep an eye on Meenah, mostly just concerned for her after jumping head first into danger*

ARANEA: *8a8y got this. You go get em, darlin.*

ERIDAN: *wonders if he should really be doing this because of what Mituna told him the day before, but he goes ahead and dives into the water*

KARKAT: SOMEBODY WANNA COME BE USEFUL? *trying to set things up as best he can on his own*

MEENAH: *for lack of any better ideas meenah begins to channel her powers, using the trident stuck in the huge bastard as a focus for her absorption. given past experience this will probably end in disappointment but since when has meenah listened to past experience*

VRISKA: Ugh, GOD. *goes over to help Karkat out, but watches Eridan dive on into the sea as well* ::::(

-The beast re-emerges its bad self again, but this time on the other side of where it disappeared. It reveals itself, splashing right out of the sea and sending even more water onto the deck as it lets out a mighty roar into the sky, showing off all its countless rows of sharp, jagged teeth. It sinks back into the water some, and without a warning, sends out one of its tentacles towards the ship, wrapping around

it. It's begining to tug at the ship, with that tentacle, trying to pull it under-

-And it is unaware of the pesky seadwellers that are swimming around with it now, too-

ERIDAN: *he quickly swims around to start taking shots at the tentacles wrapped around the ship below the water.

JOHN: *john finally has the chance to make himself useful, using the windy thing to help eridan take on the tentacles that are outside the water*

ARANEA: Well. That's. Not. Good.

VRISKA: *helps Karkat get that thing there loaded, quickly showing him the proper way of firing it. then she rushes over to the tentacle that is currently still wrapped around the ship and starts wailin on it with her sword* HEY! People with sharp pointy things! Help me out!!!!!!!!

JAKE: *He's got more bruises, but has luckily been jolted back enough to notice the tentacles grabbing hold of various important looking parts of the ship and start blasting away at them* Im on it!

-NOW it is aware of his fellow ocean friends. It is very aware. In fact, it is so aware that it blindly sends another tentacle out to whack Eridan away-

JAKE: Get bent slimy!!

KARKAT: *grumbles loudly about how he can't do both those things at once, cannons or sharp pointy thing. gotta make up your mind. for now, he sticks to firing reloading firing the cannons*

ARANEA: *unsheathes her sword and dice at one and proceeds to play Whack-a-Tentacle as she tosses her roll across the deck.*

ARANEA: *at once

ARANEA: *looking at Vriska like I'm-Judging-You* Where are your dice?

VRISKA: I 8n't risking it!!!!!!!! *chop choppin away*

ERIDAN: *he didn't even see it coming and he gets whacked so far out of the way oof* *regains himself and starts blasting at it again*

JOHN: *he tries to use his powers to make the tentacles outside the ship hit each other instead of the ocean or any of the crew-people*

ARANEA: Why not????????

VRISKA: *throws her hands up towards the big ass monster, giving Aranea a LOOK, then goes back to slicing*

ARANEA: *continues hacking* You point is?

KARKAT: *at least one of every three shots seems to make some sort of contact, but who knows if it's doing any damage*

JAKE: *Yells over the commotion* Surely we can argue about gambling at some later time??

VRISKA: THANK YOU.

JAKE: Only a suggestion!!

-The assault sure is smarting this thing, and it finally lets go of the ship, blood trailing in the air from its various wounds as it flings back into the air. It lets out another roar, but this one has a hint of pain to it. Its other tentacles sure are getting knocked around, and it's actually kinda funny, too. All this plus the occasional cannonball blast from Karkat sends its whole body rearing back and it

dives back under, deciding to deal with the two below the water now-

ARANEA: It's not gam8ling, ugh! *last die finally comes to a stop; 8unny Sassacre Hat*

ARANEA: ((wait no))

ARANEA: ((that's from the Vrillyhoo Hammer; plz ignore *headdesk*))

ERIDAN: *oh fuck a whole kracken is heading straight for him and Meenah. he looks back at her and then looks towards the kraken and tries to unleash another blast of hope at the beast*

MEENAH: *grumble mumbles at her lack of options all things considered, choosing to simply rocket herself at the big tentacled shitlords eyeball, trident first*

KARKAT: *shoots blindly once, then checks to see if he needed to adjust his aim. oh it isn't above water anymore. what now.*

JAKE: *Runs over to the rails to see where it went*

-It's getting blasted in the face by all this hope, distracting it enough to not see Meenah headed right for its eye. Meenah hits her target, sending out a cloud of blood in the water as it lets out a more pained wail this time. The pain is enough to veer it off course, sending it to the side as it bumps its back along the bottom of the ship. It swims out away from the ship again, but it turns around, ready to

pick up speed again-

ARANEA: Everyone, hold on to something!

ERIDAN: *he pursues it continuing the shoot out blasts of hope. HE'S GOTTA PROTECT HIS SHIP and the people on it. The light can easily be seen getting shot from the surface* *hes heading straight for the kraken now too*

KARKAT: *does his best to secure the cannons so they don't go flying out the other side and puts some holes in this place. he'll hold onto something after that*

JOHN: *he's hovering, prepaired to aid whoever doesn't get to hold onto something*

VRISKA: *rushes over to join Jake, looking over the rails as well. she was about to ask if he sees it, but it's pretty obvious where it is now*

JAKE: *Clings to the railing like billio, quickly doing a tally to make sure the others are doing the same* It means to ram us, i think!

TAVROS: *grips tight to the rails of the ship with STRONG MANRY HANDS, still peering into the water to try to see what's going on with the fightin' specifically.*

KARKAT: *haphazardly ties down the last cannon and grabs onto it*

ARANEA: *looks down at her hands gripping the rail; w8, most of them are godtier. They could just hover. Good jo8, smart one.*

-If Meenah hadn't taken out one of its eyes, it would have taken a chunk clean out of the middle of the ship. But thankfully for this crew, its field of vision is pretty messed up now, and the blasts from Eridan are not helping it out at all, and instead it slashes its teeth along the side of the stern of the ship, not enough to puncture, but enough to leave some visible damage. It turns itself around again to

face the ship, flinging its tentacles at the people on deck now-

JOHN: shit! *he's taken off-guard, and is knocked against the wooden floor rather harshly*

ARANEA: *ducks* Incoming!

TAVROS: *gets hit in the face and goes flying like a chump*

ERIDAN: *fuck, if they were going to stop this thing they were going to have to get it in a weak point. A mouth seemed like a good weak point, but the only way he could think of that working is if he managed to either aim just right of if they were somehow able to blow it apart from the inside* *welp, no questions asked, he's swimming straight for that sucker's mouth*

ARANEA: *Never fear! Ship medic is here!*

TAVROS: *he's passed out but lets keep him that way because mun has to go soon*

JAKE: *Grabs aranea by the elbow and hauls them both away from the side and towards johnny boy* Oh shitting crikey, john!

VRISKA: *starts hacking away at the tentacles that are flinging around on board. she's helping!*

ARANEA: *Aranea is preoccupied with tentacles causing destruction anyway. Sorry, Tavros, you'll have to w8.*

JOHN: *he somehow scrambles up, rubbing his head* oooww--

KARKAT: *the cannons are below deck i believe so now he's kinda waiting for a bigger impact that isn't coming. a tentacle pases in front of the opening for this particular spot though and he jumps back before preparing to fire again*

-Luckily for Eridan, this thing's mouth is wiiiiide open, really showing off all those sharp chompers. It's basically an open doorway to its squishy insides. Have fun, Eridan-

ARANEA: *hopes this isn't anything like Troll Dead Man's Chest*

JAKE: *Reaches out so he now has two blue people by the elbow, still run-dodging as he drags them* Alright john??

ERIDAN: *WOOSH in he goes. This is going to be really gross but at least he knew he'd have a better hit at it from the inside*

JAKE: Aranea, could you maybe take a look at him? Ta!

ERIDAN: *as soon as he swims inside it, he regrets his decision because this is even nastier than he thought*

-This thing doesn't even own a toothbrush. He might even spot some splinters of ships and other wreckage stuck in its teeth. But yeah, this thing's too big and doesn't even notice that something just flew into its mouth-

ARANEA: *holds John steady* Already ahead of you! *inspects his cephalic region to make sure cranial contents are secure.*

ERIDAN: *he powers up his hope blast one more time and aims it straight for its insides*

KARKAT: *he's gotten like two shots off in this amount of time. slow poke.*

JAKE: *Just assumes carrying will be easier than dragging, and so hikes them both up and totes them around during the healing process* No rush!

JOHN: *it's a minor concussion-- he's just really disoriented, and his head hurts*

ARANEA: *clamps her hand on John's head in a vice like grip as they are 8eing jostled* Hold still, John.

-And the insides are hit. They are hit pretty damn hard, too. It lets out yet another wail, more strained this time as its attempts to fight back start to loose intensity. Everyone should have a much easier time getting in some killing blows now-

JOHN: *he winces, but stays still. not much he can do with the headache, anyways*

ARANEA: *works her stuff*

ARANEA: *relief in 8 seconds and counting*

KARKAT: *fires one last cannon before he has to pause and take a breath. he is not in good enough shape for this pirate stuff*

JAKE: *Gracefully leaps over a tentacle before carefully depositing both passengers behind a stack of barrels* Any luck?

ARANEA: *Ahahaha good one, Jake hahahahah*

JAKE: *Thought youd like it!*

JOHN: *he hangs his head with a huge sigh of relief, the pain having vanished almost as soon as aranea got her hands on his would*

VRISKA: *is still hacking away, really doing some damage to these tentacles now that they're just kinda.....flopping around now*

JOHN: *he looks up to both aranea and jake* all better. thanks, guys.

JAKE: *Seeing that all is indeed well he salutes before whipping back around to retrieve the old faithfuls* Think nothing of it!

ARANEA: *glances over to Vriska who looks like she has a handle on things and turns 8ack to the humans.* Thanks, Jake. *turns to John.* No pro8lem!

JAKE: You, you slimey scoundrel, on the other hand! *shooting things agaaaain* Now youve really done it, you octokringlefucker!

ERIDAN: *was going to swim out of it when it wailed and the sound completely throws him off, sound waves being a lot worse underwater than above. It rattles him around and although the sound was enough to shove him out of ithe thing's mouth, he's very disoriented and his ears are ringing*

ARANEA: *If Aranea had the faintest idea what that last one was, she's agree with Jake. 8ased on context clues, however, she assumed he was addressing their antagonist.*

JOHN: *now that he's all better, he decides to get up to play whack-a-mole with the remaining tentacles that are all floppy*

JAKE: *Youre quite right aranea, you are not the one being adressed as an octokringlefucker*

ARANEA: *Thank you, that's very consider8.*

ARANEA: *Also 8ranishes her weapons and lights on those tentacles to make calamari out of them.*

ARANEA: *weapon

-It is slowly starting to sink down into the ocean, blood clouding the water as it flows out of its mouth from its internal injuries. It isn't quite dead yet, though it is quickly getting there, the tentacles on board feebly twitching in protest from the attacks until they slide off the ship, leaving trails of blood along the floorboards. And soon enough, it's gone, its shadow slowly fading away to the bottom of

the sea to meet its watery grave-

ARANEA: *Stopped attacking the tentacles as soon as they retre8d. Peering into the w8r and watching it sink, she tells herself that they didn't have to kill it.* ::::(

ARANEA: *retreat ed*

JOHN: *he stares at the blood on the floor, and whispers.* i feel so bad for whoever gets to clean.

ARANEA: *Despite it all....* Isn't Tavros the poopmaster?

JAKE: *Proceeds to wipe all the blood of marine life out of his face before going to check tavros is still mostly alive* Bagsy not it!

VRISKA: *LAUGHS*

KARKAT: *stares down into the water from wherever the frick he is. he aint on deck though or he'd be trying to hide*

JAKE: Fraid it looks like this chap wont be up to it either... Hes as unconcious as they come!

VRISKA: I 8n't cleaning this shit up, that's for damn sure. *wanders over to the railing to look over and into the water, really hoping Eridan and Meenah are okay*

ARANEA: *Knows Meenah is fine, assuming that Meenah would refuse to die in any way that is stupid and dull.*

ARANEA: *Also, Vriska, they're god tier, they'll 8e fine.*

KARKAT: *also watches the water, looking out for eridan specifically because of their recent conversation*

JAKE: *Drags the muscly cow troll to a more cozy spot on deck where it is unlikely anyone will tread on him*

ERIDAN: *his senses are still a bit shot, but he at least sees the kraken is no longer threatening his ship and he lets himself float to the surface*

VRISKA: *lets out the breath she didn't realize she had been holding when she spots him* Hey! You alright down there?!

ARANEA: *keeps an eye out for Meenah anyway*

MEENAH: *meenah floats up a tad delayed, carrying an arm full of golf balls*

ERIDAN: *gurgles as he climbs on board* *god why won't his ears stop ringing* *flops on deck and staggers upward, but his balance is really bad now*

ARANEA: *springs off the ship and into the air, hugging Meenah, golf 8alls and all.*

ARANEA: *whoops, there goes the surgeon, Eridan*

KARKAT: *heads back up onto the deck and nods when he sees eridan is alive. i fuckin told you.*

VRISKA: *grabs Eridan by the elbows so he doesn't fall and face gnash the floorboards* Whoa-hoooooooo, holy shit what happened to you?

ERIDAN: *he looks at karkat and nods back and then looks at Vriska, her voice really muffled from all the ringing in his head* *he just kind of shakes his head at her, not really able to make out what she said*

ARANEA: *looks 8ack at their navigator, deciding she should proooooooo8a8ly help him out.*

JOHN: *he's hanging by the edge of the ship again, just watching. eridan does not look good. 8(*

VRISKA: *raises an eyebrow at him, because head shake whaaaat how's that supposed to answer her question. looks around for Aranea* Hey, come check him out.

KARKAT: *he also stands watching for a while, trying to figure out a way to help. then it occurs to him that probably the best way for him to help is to stay out of the way and do his own job. so he climbs back up to the nest without another word*

ARANEA: *gracefully lands 8ecause she is a pro at this and rolls up her sleeves.*

JOHN: *...casually follows karkat by floating up as well, hello there buddy i have nothing to do there as well c8*

KARKAT: *oh hello you probably got there before him. and he gives john a look like what do you want man, then plops down on his ass in the wooden basket thing*

ERIDAN: *leaans on Vriska for now, looking around despite ringing ears to survey how much damage they took on*

JOHN: *he shrugs and just hovers closeby--- still looking down at the healing, for now*

JAKE: *Kicks experimentally at the steering wheel in the distance - yep, not broken. Probably.*

ARANEA: *to Eridan* What hurts?

MEENAH: *deposits her golf balls in the proper place, crackin her neck and giving a few stretches* this betta not be a regular fin

ERIDAN: *he doesn't really hear her and just kind of blinks at her* wwha i.. *wow he can't hear himself either, is he talking too quietly?* WWHAT DID YOU SAY

VRISKA: *looks back and forth between Eridan and Aranea, still trying to hold him up but god damn dude, you're heavy and wet and that's even wor-oH GOD* WOW.

KARKAT: *leans against the mast and shakes his head at all the yelling. he'll probably end up passing out up there hopefully somebody will take him below deck before sunrise*

ERIDAN: *also yes jake that wheel is still in tact except it might be a little loose, I'd be careful otherwise it might pop off*

ARANEA: I asked what hurts your person? Are you all right?

ERIDAN: WWHAT

ARANEA: ARE YOU HURT.

ERIDAN: .... *this is useless* *he can barely even hear himself when he's screaming like that* I CANT FUCKIN HEAR A WWORD YOURE SPOUTIN MY EARS ARE RINGIN

JOHN: *yells down* SOMEBODY WRITE HIM A NOTE OR SOMETHING!

VRISKA: FUCK, just heal his goddamn EARS already!!!!!!!! 8efore MINE need healed, too!!!!!!!!

JOHN: *whoops thank goodness you're so tired karkat, ya sleepy crab*

ARANEA: I WAS JUST MAKING SURE IT'S NOT HIS /8RAIN/ OR SOMETHING.

ARANEA: *covers Eridan's ears gently with her hands.*

ARANEA: GEEEEEEEEZ!

ARANEA: ((*Jeez))

JAKE: *Breaks the wheel while everyone is distracted*

ERIDAN: *okay the ringing is starting to die down, but he'll have to wait until she takes her hands off his ears again to really know if she actually fixed them*

ERIDAN: *and he is so gunna get u jake*

JAKE: *Tries desperately to pop it back on before anyone notices*

JOHN: *ceiling--- i mean, crownest john is watching 8I*

JOHN: *he knows every secret in this ship*

ARANEA: *Removes her hands after she's finished.* 8etter?

ERIDAN: ... yeah thats much fuckin better *phew*

JAKE: *Um, um - Oh, I know! Time to use the wisdom of sean connery in the last crusade* Im terribly sorry everyone-

JAKE: The beasty seems to have broken the wheel!

ERIDAN: ..... *gaze turns to jake*

ERIDAN: fuck seriously

JOHN: *facepalm combo x2!*

JAKE: It must have whalloped it when we werent looking! What a mess eh?

ARANEA: *phew* You're welcome. ::::I

VRISKA: *was about to ask Eridan what the fuck happened but whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat* ........Oh my god.

JAKE: Im quite certain i can fix it, not to worry! Go about your business!

JAKE: Really!

ERIDAN: ugh okay *sighs and turns back to vriska and aranea* ... thanks aranea

JOHN: *containing a few laughs at the jake deal, he shakes his head. then, he notices the sleeping karkat and decides this might be kind of a dangerous place to nap in-- he sneakily carries the troll down to place him in a cozy cabin, and then returns to his own to get some rest*

JAKE: *SAFE*

ARANEA: *Actually surprised Eridan thanked her al8eit the execution needed a little work.* You're very welcome.

JAKE: *Sighs with relief before trying to slip away without being seen to sigourney*

VRISKA: *keeps that eyebrow raised at Eridan* What the fuck happened to you?

ARANEA: *sloooooooowly 8acks out, 8ecause this is a conversation 8est left with quadrantmates, so while Vriska and Eridan are at it, Aranea goes to gather her 8elongings that were scattered across the deck during the attack and slips quietly past the duo and into her ca8in.*

ERIDAN: i uh... wwell wwhen i wwas fightin the kraken i kinda swwam in its mouth an blasted it an...

ERIDAN: after i did that it did one a its horrible wwails

VRISKA: *blinks* Whoa whoa, w8 a minute. You SWAM into its mouth????????

ERIDAN: yeah uh... *he wobbles, still really unsteady. His innerear did get pretty shot from that wail, and it's leaving him a little nauseated as well* i wwanna head dowwn to the cabins

VRISKA: *HUFFS, but okay yeah, he is looking pretty bad* Ok, let's go. Eaaaaaaaasy. *holds onto on the way down so he doesn't fall down the stairs. you got some 'splainin to do, mister*

[a8scond-or-advance]

[01:27] AG: *makes her way back down to the captain's cabin, dumping out a pile of the coins she took into her hands so she can check them out once she gets inside the room*

[01:28] CA: *follows her into the room and just dumps all his treasure in the corner* *looks back at her examining the coins* wwhatcha thing are they wworth anythin

[01:30] AG: *captchalogues all of them again except for one, turning it over and over in her hand* May8e. It looks legit to me, at least. *shrugs*

[01:32] CA: oh good so maybe it wwas the only legit thing on their ship *goes to lock the door, since it just occured to him that meenah is here, and he doesn't trust her not to come in and steal any of his treasure while he has it out just sitting in the corner* *whenever he gets up for the next day that treasure will be back in his inventory*

[01:35] AG: *sighs, sitting down on the edge of the bed, still flipping the coin around in her hand* Our crew didn't do as 8adly as I thought they would! They were still kinda 8ad, 8ut it could've gone worse.

[01:38] CA: it was definitely a fuckin mess did you see howw evveryone kept jumpin in on enemies others wwere already handlin *shakes his head* a couple a em wwere nearly caught in friendly fire *shakes his head and takes off his fancy pirate coat to hang it up*

[01:41] AG: *snorts, unbuttoning her own jacket, but she leaves it on, noticing some dried blood on it. starts trying to scrape at it but to no avail* Yeah they were. You'd think that for a group of people who are used to fighting all the time they'd do a hell of a lot 8etter than THAT. *shakes her head*

[01:45] CA: wwait wwhat do you mean they wwere used to fightin *looks back at her after the coat is up, raising a brow* i barely evven fought mine before eradicatin him

[01:47] AG: Psh, did you even see MINE? *stops scratching at her coat to look at him* That guy clearly knew what he was doing. Not well enough, o8viously, 8ut still.

[01:50] CA: oh not wwell i wwas afraid you wwere gunna suddenly admit you just arent as good as me an had a hard time wwith fightin one guy *grins at her and goes to sit down beside her*

[01:52] AG: *shoves him a little when he sits next to her* You WISH I'd admit something impossi8le like that. Too 8ad I don't admit to stuff that isn't true.

[01:57] CA: oh you KNOWW its true just admit it already an therell be no harm done

[02:01] AG: *narrows her eyes at him, but she's grinning at the same time* Noooooooope. No can do. Sorry, Eridan, 8ut you'll just have to deal with it.

[02:07] CA: *oh man those shades totally just came down on Vriska, and eridan just shakes hise head again* yeah wwhatevver one a these days youll see *takes his scarf off and sets it to the side before letting himself fall back on the bed* i hope youre not TOO sore in the mornin after all that effort you had to exert to fight that guy

[02:10] AG: *scoffs, shifting so she can look back at him* And I hope YOU *pokes his stomach* aren't still rusty after 8arely have to fight 8ack today.

[02:18] CA: HEY *curls when she does that because that tickled* im not rusty do i gotta provve my fightin prowwess to you AGAIN

[02:23] AG: *laughs* Yeeeeeeeeah, 8ecause fighting pl8s is just like fighting a ragtag 8and of pir8s. *grins some more and leans over to smooch his nose because she's an asshole*

[02:28] CA: *grumble grumble, throws his arms around her anyway since she's already leaning over him* *he REALLY can't argue with her there. If he suddenly started saying that fighting plates was an actual challenge.... just look at how ridiculous that looks* youre really fuckin lucky i lovve you

[02:35] AG: *laughs again at first, shifting again so that she can comfortably half lay on him, but then she blinks a few times, sitting up again so she can look at him*........You love me?

[02:37] CA: *his face suddenly goes completely violet, embarassed and worried he just said the wrong thing* i uh... *thinks about taking it back, but has a hard time taking things back that are true* ...yeah i guess

[02:47] AG: *stares at him, because wow did that just pull right at her heart. she's surprised at first, and keeps staring at him, but her own face is starting to flush too. for a while she had convinced herself that she was incapable of having someone actually be in love with her, and hearing him say that now makes her heart swell up like never before. she starts to smile, it broadening slowly as she tries to make herself say it back to him, but words are kind of hard right now, and instead she chooses to just firmly plant her lips on his*

[02:53] CA: *that responce was even better than words. She could have assured him it was okay all she wanted, but this was probably the only assurance that could actually convince him it was okay that he loved her. He holds onto that kiss, and after a moments hesitation, wraps his arms around her waist*

[03:02] AG: *she brings one of her hands up to gently place it against the side of his face, and holds the kiss with him for a long moment longer, breaking away and giving him a couple more smaller kisses. she pulls away from his lips by just the smallest distance and runs her thumb along his cheek as she stares into his eyes* I love you, too.

[03:26] CA: *his face grew warm once more, and this time the blushing wasn't from embarassment* im... so fuckin glad *his fins fluttered as he said it, and he returned to her a couple smaller kisses as well, before pulling back and staring into her beautiful cerulean eyes*

[03:35] AG: *she laughs a little at that, because fin flutters oh no that was cute. she keeps smiling at him, still stroking his cheek as she stares back at him quietly. she stays like this for a while until she lets out another small laugh, realizing that they just immediately went from trash talking each other to declaring their love for each other* We really know how to drastically change to mood, huh.

[03:46] CA: yeah no fuckin kiddin... wwere fuckin ridiculous thats wwhat wwe are *lays there, and just absorbs the cheek strokes, because goddamn they're relaxing* i think wwe made the best fuckin choice for each other

[03:52] AG: Heh, me too. *gives him another kiss* It took us for fucking ever, 8ut I think we finally figured out what works for us.

[09:06] CA: yeah... wwe sure did *grins and nuzzles her cheek* is there anythin you wwanna do tonight to celebrate this

[09:14] AG: Yeah, I'd like to........*think thinks* 8ut what can we do on a ship? You have anything FUN to do on here?

[09:16] CA: ... not really besides eat *realizes that probably wouldn't be that fun to her, considering they're always eating* ... *looks around the room* this ship is kinda borin

[09:24] AG: Hmmmmmmmm........Karkat stayed on deck so we'd have him ruining our romantic moment if we went up there. *shrugalugs* We could do something in here I guess.

[09:32] CA: yeaah *shakes his head* as much as i like karkat wwe really cant havve that that wwould suck

[09:38] AG: Hah, yes it would. *plops her chin down on his chest and sloooowly looks around the room*........There's not a whole lot you can do in a 8edroom, is there. *but whoops queue slight blush the more she starts to over-think what she said*

[10:01] CA: ......... *oh no now he's blushing too* uh... i guess theres some things... wwe could do *oh no*

[10:08] AG: Yeah? *sloooowly glances back to him and sees that he's blushing now too, and it makes her blush even more, but hey, at least she's not the only one here blushing now, and that gives her a little more courage which she uses to mess with him of course* Like uh........Like what?

[10:21] CA: .. like uh... stuff... *can't look her straight in the eye now* things an stuff... wwe could build a blanket fort

[10:23] AG: ........A 8lanket fort. *tries to cover a laugh and the blushing fades away, nice save Eridan* Ok yeah! That sounds fun!

[10:29] CA: wwait really *SHE LIKED HIS LAME IDEA. SCORE.* wwell okay *slides off the bed* ill go grab some more blankets so wwe havve more than just the one on my bed here

[10:33] AG: Alright! *gets up and starts tossing the pillows on the bed to the side and peels the blanket off. hell yeah it sounds cheesy and lame, but fuck it it sounds fun and she's excited*

[10:38] CA: *leaves the room for a moment, coming back in with his arms full of blankets* *kicks the door closed again and dumps them on the floor* ... howw do wwe hold the blankets up do i need chairs an shit

[10:44] AG: Uh, hmmmmmmmm........*grabs a blanket and positions it on one of the edges of the bed, then dumps some of her coins onto the blanket to hold it on the bed* There's one part solved. *looks around the room and moves over to a, desk? that is so totally there and does the same with the other end of the blanket* I don't know, just start piling them up?

[10:50] CA: *nods* alright *decides to grab some of the pillows to build a PILLOWER..pillar...pillow..tower...okay that didn't work.* *has a planted drape from that, but still has enoough pillows to pile inside of it* *he's got a shitton of pillows*

[10:54] AG: *stares at him for a little while, because wow he's getting fancy. starts adding more blankets to the equation, making sure it's big enough for both of them to fit inside, but leaves a couple for them to keep inside*

[11:20] CA: *keeps on working on this biz until they've got a nice big fancy blanket fort* ... *nods approvingly before going ahead and crawling inside of it*

[11:24] AG: *smirks at their handywork and makes her way in, too, carrying the couple of blankets in with her* Scooch. *starts trying to put them on the floor under them so they're not just sitting on the cold hard ground. once that's done she sighs, looking around their masterpiece* Huh.

[11:40] CA: ... its cozy *gets all nice and close to her* wwe got the best room in the entire ship for sure noww

[11:43] AG: Mmmmmmmmhm! *leans in to nuzzle his cheek* Don't let anyone see it though, they'll for sure start a mutiny just to get this awesome setup.

[11:44] CA: god they so wwould i can see them doin that fuckin jealous bastards

[11:46] AG: It'll 8e oooooooour little secret then. No low level lackeys allowed.

[12:06] CA: nope *shakes his head* none at all

[12:15] AG: Sucks for them. *grins at him, moving her arms up to wrap around the behind his neck, one of her hands reaching up to idly play with his hair*

[01:39] CA: ... *wraps his arms around her waist* wwe got double the privvacy in here *kisses her nose as his hands wander up her shirt*

[01:54] AG: *she wasn't expecting that, the mix the coldness of his hands and the surprise making her jolt, but she relaxes into him again, her grin growing* And we need that privacy, right? To do private things?

[01:56] CA: yeah... vvery privvate things *he was pretty used to people jumping from his touch by this point, understanding now that it's because he's cold and not because they don't like him* vvery vvery privvate things *moves a leg to wrap it around hers*

[02:03] AG: *oh man is she blushing now, but she don't even care, SHE LOVES IT. she laughs a little, moving in to give him a slow and gentle kiss, the hand playing with his hair moving to grip his hair instead*

[02:48] CA: *starts planting more kisses on her face, savoring each one* this spot is more comfortable than i thought it wwould be you wwould think cause wwere on the floor it wwouldnt be

[02:48] CA: but thats the beauty of piles

[02:55] AG: *scrunches up her face at the kisses, grining widely and pulls herself a little closer to him* I think we did a pretty good jo8.

[03:09] CA: wwe really did its a sturdy fort an comfortable to boot

[03:09] CA: simply the best there is

[03:54] AG: Yeeeeeeeep! *nose smooch is a go* No other fort can even 8EGIN to compare. *nod nod* We make a pretty good team.

[04:17] CA: wwe do... wwe really do *sighs and just flattens himself on her, moving a hand to idly stroke her belly**he really likes her belly* *he really likes her everything obviously but he really likes her belly*

[04:30] AG: *lets out a sigh, melting into his touch. she brings her forehead to his and lets her eyes slip shut, relaxing into him, and lets her hand in his hair fall back down with the other, chosing to just hold onto him for now*

[04:59] CA: *continues stroking her belly and breathing slowly, listening to each breath she takes, and timing them with his own. His fins are even moving in time with them, and he gives her another kiss*

[05:17] AG: *breathes in deeply though her nose when his lips meet hers, and she holds the kiss with him. even though they had kissed many times before, this one moment felt different than all the rest, and she knew it was because for the first time in a long time, or maybe even for the first time, she wasn't sure, she truly felt loved. she barely pulls away from him, feeling the need to tell him again, murmuring* I love you. *brings her lips to his in another gentle kiss*

[05:56] CA: *begins blushing wildy again because hearing that from Vriska is really something, and he's glad she can love him despite all his own flaws. He gives her a couple more* i lovve you too.... *is glad he knows its okay to say it now, and this time there is no awkwardness from him, just pure true lovin*

[06:18] AG: *she smiles at him, leaning back in to press more kisses to him. her hands start to wander down his chest and across his stomach, and she slips her hands under his shirt to trail up his back, feeling his cold skin against her hands. she holds onto him tightly and breathes in again, wanting to take in every bit of him that she can*

[06:37] CA: *his fins flutter at the feel of her hands against his belly and back. decides to go ahead and pull his shirt off, because having it on just doesn't make sense anymore. his dorsal fin spreads as he gets a shutter down his spine from her touch*

[06:49] AG: *as he pulls his shirt off, she takes the time to shrug off her jacket because if she can't kiss him while he's doing that, she might as well do something productive, too. she moves back in to get back to where she left off, her hands wandering freely along his back now, and she tilts her head to press her lips to his more firmly*

[07:44] CA: *when her lips have met his, his tongue slips into hers, running it along her teeth, particularly stopping at her fangs. he reaches a hand up to grasp her u-hooked horn, feeling the shape under his palm.*

[07:59] AG: *plays with his tongue with hers, and when his hand goes for her horn, she stops kissing him back for just a moment to take in a shakey breath. she returns her lips to his with a grin, letting out her breath through her nose and humming out a content sound against his lips. she brings one of her own hands up to run her fingers through his hair, then ventures up even further to lightly run her fingertips from the base of one of his own horns all the way to the end*

[10:11] CA: *he nearly freezes when she strokes his horn, going limp in her arms. Horn touches were so disarming, especially from her, someone he wants touching his horns all day. He leans his head, his horns closer and easier for her to grasp and rub.*

[10:22] AG: *his reaction makes her grin even more against his lips, and she holds onto it fully now, continuing the same motion as before*

[10:44] CA: *and he remained limp, his hands softly working on her sides now, his fins still flexing and relaxing.*

[10:54] AG: *she's loving the reaction she's getting from him, and she wants to see if she can get an even better one from doing this. she untangles her legs out from under his and swings one over, straddling him as she slides herself right onto his lap, the hand at his horn keeping up the good work while the one at his back she moves to rest on the front of his shoulder*

[11:21] CA: *lets out a small noise as she does that, and his fingers grip at her sides even tighter. he pushes his head against her and tenses up with pleasure, his tongue lolling out of his mouth as he idly licks at her*

[11:33] AG: *she gets a shiver from that, making her take in a sharp breath as her eyelids flutter. she glances down and realizes that oh yeah, they were getting rid of clothes not too long ago, so she grabs onto her shirt and pulls it up and over her head. she grabs onto his face with both hands once the shirt is out of the way, pulling him into another, more fervent kiss, and leans into him, enjoying the feeling of his bare skin against hers*

[03:11] CA: *is so happy with the fervent kiss, and holds it, clinging to her with one hand as he starts unfastening his pants with the other. He's getting more feverish as they continue to love each other up*

[03:34] AG: *one of her hands trails down to start tugging on his pants, starting to get impatient, and she pulls away from his lips to give him a grin as she does so. she reaches up with her other hand to unhook her bra, tossing it off to the side*

[09:34] CA: *he's blushing like mad now, kicking off his pants and going ahead and pulling his troll undergarments off as well* *he reaches up to unfasten her pants now too, planting a few more kisses on her belly as he does so*

[09:47] AG: *her eyes slip shut and she shudders out a shakey sigh at his kisses, enjoying them as she lets him undo her pants. once he's done with that, she decides to help him with the rest, sitting back up onto her knees to shimmy out of her pants and underwear, placing herself right back onto his lap once they're out of the way and snatches him back up into another kiss*

[10:01] CA: *he holds her tight, hands once again gripping her sides, as he closes his eyes and slips his tongue back in her mouth. With another shutter down his spine, he begins to work through her, and their connection is complete*

[10:19] AG: *she takes the initiative to get things going on her own, and she starts to slowly move against him. she leans into him, pressing her body flush against his with her arms back behind his neck again, and she plays with his tongue with hers, breathing heavily through her nose all the while*

[10:27] CA: *he lets her do most of the work for now, but is griping onto her tightly, helping her with the movement* *her warm body is so nice in his arms, much warmer than his anyway.*

[10:40] AG: *it's becoming a little too hard for her to catch her breath while she kisses him, so she pulls away from his lips, touching her forehead to his and opens her eyes to look into his. she can't even feel how much more warmer than normal she is right now with her body pressed against his cool one, but she is definitely flushed all over. she starts to move at a slightly faster pace now, her hands kneading into the backs of his shoulders. but without nails this time. for now*

[10:56] CA: *FOR NOW EH? WINK WINK. His breathing gets heavier as well, but he still continues to place kisses onto her whenever her movements bring her body close to her lips. It probably looks kind of silly, but Eridan doesn't care how silly he looks when locked with her like this. When like this, nothing matters. The blast of pure pleasure surging through his veins blots all thought from his mind as he continues to perform for her*

[11:19] AG: *she tries to keep herself quiet, allowing some gasps and quiet humming against his lips whenever they meet, the danger of them being overheard even greater this time around. but the chance of them being heard just adds to the thrill she is having. she slowly runs one of her hands around from the back of his neck to the side, down along his collar bone, and stops to grip at the front of his shoulder now, lightly dragging her long nails across his skin along the way. nails have happened, but no blood. for now. again*

[11:36] CA: *he shivers under her touch and grips her even tighter. He's doing the same with trying to make sure he's keeping quiet, although it's probably a little easier for him. he conitnues to cling to her tightly as they continue to DO THE DEED, his fins flexing and relaxing in time with their movements*

[11:53] AG: *she's already starting to feel exhausted, considering everything that had happened before they came below deck, but she isn't ready to call it quits just yet. she figures that hey, he didn't do anything in that fight, and he's been letting her do all the hard work right now, and that just ain't fair. she tries to manuver herself in a way that shifts both of them to the side and down onto the ground without them having to leave eachother. she manages to do it, using the hand still behind his neck to pull him down with her, but she's a little too eager to get him ontop of her, and she wacks the back of her head on the floor, not expecting it to come up so quickly* Ow, heh.

[12:25] CA: be careful there vvris thats dangerous *voice is breathy from all the exertions, but he starts moving up and down on her as he grabs her shoulders now, perfectly willing to start doing most of the work now*

[12:42] AG: *laughs a little at that and she wants to retort with something, but getting something coherent out would be pretty hard for her to do at this point. her hands start to wander up and down the sides of his belly, watching him with heavy lidded eyes as he moves ontop of her*

[01:02] CA: *his own eyes flutter closed as he continues to move on top of her, the feel of her hands against him encouraging him to keep going. He's not ready for this to end any time soon, although it's hard to say how much longer he can keep it up*

[01:20] AG: *she keeps up the strokes for a while, but then she feels the need to feel him against her lips again, so she pulls him a little closer, pressing her lips to any bit of flesh she can reach. she can feel herself starting to get close to her own end, and she reaches up to her shoulders to grab onto his hands and laces her fingers in his, squeezing tightly as she moves them to the floor above her shoulders*

[01:31] CA: *he's panting heavily by this point, and steadily does begin to slow down, relaxing more and more on top of her, until he's finally just laying flat, trying to regain his breath. he remains quiet besides the heavy breathing, for the time being*

[01:41] AG: *she keeps her hands in his, still holding on tightly. she's breathing heavy as well, and she stares up at the blankets above them, a small grin starting to tug at the corner of her lips. she lets out a single breathy laugh* Wow.

[02:05] CA: its... nevver gunna not be good... i can tell... i can predict the fuckin future.... *sighs into her and plants a couple more kisses*

[02:16] AG: *laughs* Is that so? *gives him a few more kisses of her own* That's a pretty 8old st8ment. *give him a grin and pulls one of her hands out from his to run it along his hair*........8ut you're right.

[02:23] CA: *grin and gives her another kiss* yeah a course im right... *twirls a finger in her hair* ... wwe should just sleep here i dont see any point in restin on the bed noww

[02:27] AG: Heh, nah, there isn't. It's comforta8le enough down here, I think we just proved that.

[02:28] CA: wwe really fuckin did... *buries his face into her hair* youre the fuckin best...

[02:33] AG: *blushes, letting out a sigh as she tilts her head to press a kiss to his jaw, her eye starting to droop* No, you are.

[02:37] CA: i... *wow did she really just say that? A warm feeling flooded his entire body* nah you so are...

[02:42] AG: Nuh uh, y- *siiiighs, looking over at him and raises an eyebrow, her voice borderline gravelly* We could go 8ack and forth with this forever.

[02:48] CA: wwe really could... *smiles at her A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE* *touches her chin and runs his hand along her jaw*

[02:58] AG: Eridan........*aw hell, he went and made her feel all warm and fuzzy. she keeps smiling at him, realizing that she had someone she didn't think she could ever be able to have, someone she could trust and someone that she could let her guard down around completely, and she couldn't be any happier right now*........Thanks.

[03:03] CA: ...thank you too... *he closes his eyes, his fins finally relaxing, and he starts to drift off to sleep*

[03:07] AG: *she holds onto him, following him and she's quickly out, a content grin on her face*

[a8scond-or-advance]

ERIDAN: *is MANNING THE HELM, and keeps almost dozing off. It's been awhile since he's slept on a ship, and just sleeping in a new place in general messed with him. AS SUCH he hasn't checked to make sure anyone else has been manning their own positions on board, so whether they're there or not, he cannot say.*

--however, there's another ship faroff on the horizon that could be easily spotted if anyone is up in the crows nest right now--

VRISKA: *is being a lazy ass captain hell yeah, leaning on a railing and staring off into the distance, bored like crazy. she's not looking in the direction of the ship however*

ARANEA: *is 8eing an awesome surgeon. Currently no one needs her assistance.*

TAVROS: *after finally getting his act together, now is when Tavros decides to zap onto the scene via the portal Vriska mentioned was on the ship. He gets a little lost navigating the place, until he finds the deck and peeks out to see who's around*

JAKE: *Is currently below decks mournfully disposing of those now mouldy grilled cheeses in the bin*

ERIDAN: *hasn't even noticed Tavros peeking out yet*

ARANEA: *is at the stern, sitting and playing her flute in the light of the moons*

KARKAT: *been up in the nest, watching the troll version of 50 first dates in his head. hell yeah he has it memorized. but then... oh shit there's a thing.* HEY, SERK- ER. CAPTAIN. THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE.

VRISKA: *snaps back to reality, scanning all around until she spots it, walking over to that edge of the ship to get a better look, and just walks right on past Tavros hi hello sorry she's busy. starts shouting to everyone wherever they are* Alright every8ody, look alive!!!!!!!!

ARANEA: *looks alive*

TAVROS: *clone high hand ascending as she walks past him* }:I

ARANEA: *Runs to stand 8y her gal pal.*

ERIDAN: *snaps back to reality as well* WWHAT WWHERE *scans the horizon*

JAKE: *Hears the commotion but decides to leave john sleeping/throwing up/ tending his bonsai tree for now in favour of popping up back to the main deck alone* Whats all this then?

ARANEA: *Informs Jake of the goings on*

ARANEA: There's a ship.

KARKAT: *just kinda keeps staring at the distant shape. that's his job, look at stuff. he's lookin.*

--the shape is definitely getting bigger--

KARKAT: YEAH, THAT'S COMING TOWARD US.

JAKE: *crosses over to the railing to have a better look* Oh yes, well i see that! But what the devil is their purpose? Do they mean to parley?

VRISKA: *shrugs* I don't know if they're friendly, 8ut we're not taking any chances! Every8ody get into position and get ready!

ARANEA: *Yells up to Karkat* Friend or foe?

KARKAT: GEE, I WONDER WHY I DIDN'T THINK TO CHECK. THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING YES, SHIT FOR BRAINS.

KARKAT: *yet...*

--the shape continues to slowly get bigger. ever so slowly--

TAVROS: iT'S JUST ANOTHER BOAT, wHY IS THAT SO SEEMINGLY BAD,

ERIDAN: *and eridan was ready to kick some ass. he wasn't about to let anyone mess with their ship if they meant harm*

TAVROS: *IS IT CAPTAIN HOOK?? he has to wonder*

ARANEA: *Do not get on my shit list, Vantas.*

JAKE: *readies the holsters, even whilst hoping not to have to use them* Are they flying a flag, perhaps?

JAKE: Can we hail them?

VRISKA: *oh shit she hears a Tavros now* Hey! Looks like you joined us just in time!

KARKAT: *don't ask stupid questions then, other serket*

ARANEA: *........*

ARANEA: *I'm watching you. >>>>_>>>>*

GAMZEE: *Gamzee is totally sleeping, and will be done sleeping once his player finishes a few coding crisises.*

TAVROS: *el frowno at Vriska*

ERIDAN: *eyes snap to Tavros because whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat*

ERIDAN: the fuck is HE doin here

TAVROS: *duel black bars kill bill style*

TAVROS: *IRONSIDES PLAYS AGGRESSIVELY*

VRISKA: *oh shit* He was 8itching a8out everyone leaving him 8ehind so I let him come!

JAKE: *Oh wow a tavros yeah* *also tension? oh dear* Oh right! So uh, the more the merrier, yes? At least until we figure out what is happening with that oncoming vessel?

VRISKA: Exactly!!!!!!!!

MEENAH: *walks back up from the worlds longest bathroom trip*

KARKAT: YEAH GREAT, WELCOME TO THE VOYAGE, BUDDY. *glares at the ship* IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE PLAN ON TURNING...

TAVROS: *yay a Meenah to distract him from the dirty looks. except he doesn't seem too pleased with her at the moment. he's giving her... THE LOOK.*

VRISKA: Well, friendly or not, they're coming right at us, so everyone stop glaring at each other and get fucking ready!!!!!!!!

ARANEA: *to Meenah* Glad you could join us. ::::)

--THE SHIP IS EVEN CLOSER and they don't have any flags raised. If anything, they seemed forbodeing--

MEENAH: ...

MEENAH: *walks back down the stairs*

TAVROS: }8(

TAVROS: wAIT, wHERE ARE YOU GOING,

ARANEA: ::::'(

GAMZEE: *Gamzee chooses this time to crawl out of some little hole... somewhere. He had a nice nap.* motherfuck me that was one legit motherfuckin snooze i did like to have. 

JAKE: *Wow everything is still awkward time to do something brash and run to retrieve his handy dandy binoculars* *what do his elf eyes see when he looks at the oncoming ship?*

TAVROS: *gamzee receives a less than pleased look from Tavros as well... but its a little less harsh, because it's gamzee. how can he stay mad at a lovable clown?*

--he sees a bunch of pretty angry looking lowbloods aboard. They had seen Eridan's ship and recognized it as am imperial vessel, and were ready to let rainbow flow into the ocean--

--jake sees this that is--

JAKE: *gulps and stows the binoculars again, turning to them all* I dont mean to alarm you fellows, but it looks like they really mean business!

ARANEA: *rain8ow would flow into the ocean if they were successful; trolls spread across the hemospectrum plus two humans.*

ARANEA: Gr8.

GAMZEE: *gamzee gives Tavros a wave as he scratches idly at his ass, still yawning and blinking a lot so sleep clown*

ERIDAN: wwell a course they do wwhy the fuck else wwould they be sailin no troll alivve just sails for no fuckin reason

MEENAH: *did someone say sailing for no reason because meenahs back* the fuck is that

JAKE: Not for economical resons you nonce, theyre attacking us! What do we do?

ARANEA: It seems to 8e an assem8ly of a 8unch of pertur8ed citizens.

VRISKA: Alright, someone get on stand8y 8y the cannons, get them loaded and ready! Jake, if it comes to it, try and take out as many as you can 8efore they can get close to us. Everyone else look sharp and get ready for a fight. And Karkat! You might wanna get down from there!

ARANEA: Are we not going to see if they can 8e reasoned with?

VRISKA: Nah.

ARANEA: ::::I

KARKAT: *carefully climbs out of the crow's nest and down the netting*

ARANEA: Negoti8ion can prevent 8loodshed, you know.

ERIDAN: if these are alternian influenced trolls there is no fuckin reasonin wwith them thats not howw our wworld wworks evven if your wweird peaceful human wworld wworks that wway

--THE OTHER SHIP FIRES ITS CANONS. A canonball goes whizzing past a few of you--

ARANEA: 8888(

TAVROS: *ducks* wHOOOOA THERE,

GAMZEE: *gamzee just kind of falls back on his ass, looking confused.* AIN'T EXPECT NO MOTHER FUCKING PROJECTILES GETTING ROWDY AT OUR NUG BONES. shiiiit dogg.

JAKE: *is totally still getting his guns out as he dive rolls out of the way* Great scott!!

MEENAH: >38(

MEENAH: go on a fuckin ship you said

VRISKA: *ho shit. takes position up next to Eridan because that's how they do ship battles in assassin's creed 3??? and is ready to start shouting commands/bossing everyone around*

KARKAT: *finally down off the ropes, he looks around and wonders what he's supposed to do now*

ERIDAN: FIRE OUR CANONS BACK AT EM is anyone evven ON the canons

ARANEA: *groans 8ut goes to woman a canon.*

TAVROS: uHH? *scrambles to get all up on one of those canons... but how does one even use a canon? he peeks over at Aranea to try to see how it's done.*

KARKAT: *runs to also get to a canon and stares at it for a second... okay there's a thing. is that a thing you pull? he pulls the thing and it fires and knocks back into him fUCK*

TAVROS: *CANNON :UUUU

JAKE: *Has already switched to the long range pistoles and is taking pot shots at the attacking crew*

ARANEA: *lights the loads in a cannon8all in the 8ore and prepares to light the fuse.*

KARKAT: *yeah his canon just. he didn't do it right. maybe we should just ignore that thing up there*

GAMZEE: *gamzee swings his clubs menacingly despite lack of stuff in range. joker kind? overrated, better to just look stupid.*

MEENAH: *just sort of drags her hands across her face, going down to assist with cannons (mostly by helping karkats ass off the floor)*

-- THESE SHIP *CANONS* JUST KEEP FIRING BECAUSE THIS SHIP IS SO CANON-- --The ship is getting super close now, and it's starting to become clear they really are going to have a brawl on board--

KARKAT: *thanks meenah. teach me how to pirate*

TAVROS: *successfully loads it up and launches a cannon ball the other ship's way! ... Only to fall short because he can't aim worth shit.* oH,

ERIDAN: *finally lets go of the helm, and out his wings come. he flutters to stand on the railing in front of the helm, hands aglow, ready to hopeblast these landwellers who think they're better than them*

JAKE: *It's not a very clever move, but he hops up onto the railing too to take out as many of the blighters who look like they're preparing to board as possible*

VRISKA: *pulls out her cutlass, standing back on the deck because as cool as it looks, there's sadly no reason for her to hop up on the railing too. and now she's calling whoever made that shitty shot an idiot in her head*

ERIDAN: *tav ur a dum*

MEENAH: *grumbles something about cannons not really being a one troll job but fuck it*

--AND ONBOARD THEY COME. The ship gets close enough for them to swing from ropes onto Eridan's ship. There are ten of them in all, and one by one, they swing aboard, going after those who are manning the cAnNoNs first--

MEENAH: *oh what*

KARKAT: *oh damn it. yeah okay, out come the blades*

TAVROS: *he wasn't prepared at all, so he totally gets kicked in the face by some guy swinging on board*

ARANEA: *Fires her cannon and pulls out her sword when she is approached.*

ARANEA: *Why*

--There are trolls on Meenah, Tavros, Aranea, and Jake right now, and others were heading for Gamzee, Karkat, and Vriska. They'd be on Eridan soon, too, but he was on the upper deck--

MEENAH: *grimaces, for once in her life reluctant to pull out the trident because goddamn she has enough bad publicity as is*

JOHN: *he had slept through most of the initial trouble, but the thunderous noise of cannons from a while ago had been enough to finally make him flinch awake. He immediately runs to out of the cabins and into the deck, to see just what the heck was going on outside.*

VRISKA: *oh snap, time to work her magic. starts fighting against whoever was stupid enough to come at her, looking totally badass in her cool coat and cool poofy sleeves*

JAKE: *Pivots to shoot the one bearing down on him squarely between the eyes, though his aim is thrown off a little by the precariousness of his position*

ARANEA: *Goes to meet this oncoming mofo head on*

--The one attacking Meenah swings his mighty blade at her chest--

--The one attacking Vriska is definitely trained. So far they're able to fight back pretty fiercely--

--The one that Jake shot at has brown blood spilling out of the side of his face now, as the bullet was still able to shoot they're ear--

--The one attacking Aranea is indeed met head on, and they stumble back, before taking another swing at her--

ARANEA: *Notices that they seem more competant than she expected. Swings her sword and...?*

GAMZEE: *Gamzee jumps out in front of Karkat, ready to swing his club at the first troll that approached his palebro*

KARKAT: *whoa shit, he was midswing and has to jump back to avoid impaling the clown*

JAKE: *Not particularly happy with the notion of shooting an already wounded opponent he reels a fist back to knock his lights out with the handle of a pistol*

GAMZEE: *overprotection ho! Don't stab your bro man, not cool.*

MEENAH: *oh shit yeah this guy is not playing around she jumps back, not even having enough time to be critical of a clown!*

VRISKA: *the grin she had before is long gone now, and this person is starting to piss her off. she begrudgingly ups her game, because despite wanting to have some fun with this, this troll is a lot tougher than what she expected, and she really doesn't want to risk getting a tear in her new outfit*

JOHN: *His head registers the image of a battle, and his first instinct is to bring his hammer to knock out the first unknown troll he sees- the one fighting meenah is his target. He runs to swing his hammer at the troll's head.*

--The first troll to approach Karkat had been brandishing a halberd. They narrowly dodge any first attacks, but their swing is wide, leaving them pretty open to a counterstrike from Gamzee or Karkat--

TAVROS: *laying on the floor with a bloody nose being useless, but there's always the possibility of him tripping people? he's honestly looking pretty done with all this already, but fumbles to get his lance out and get onto his feet again anyway*

--The Troll assaulting Jake gets knocked in the face. Nice job, Jake, now his nose is bleeding too. All these brownbloods and their nosebleeds. He reels back and topples to the ground, because that was a pretty strong hit on Jake's part--

ARANEA: *Her sword meets the weapon of her opponent in midair to 8lock his (or her) attack, causing a loud CLANG as well as a jolt from her wrists to the tips of her toes.*

--At Meenah jumping back, the assaulting troll lunges, thrusting the blade at her--

KARKAT: *maneuvers around his bro, gotta help with the stuff. so he swings a nice horizontal slice at the guy*

--The troll assaulting Vriska even pulls out a second blade, swinging dual handed stripes at her opponent--

--Oh, John is attacking the Troll fighting Meenah. The narrator hadn't seen this yet, and as the troll is lunging at her, it isn't aware of the hammer coming down on the back of his head, knocking him foreward more, but throwing off the blade--

JAKE: *Shakes his hand against the reverberations going down it with a triumphant 'Haha!', then aims more carefully to nab the dude closest to poor ol' tavros*

--A yellowblood trips on Tavros like an asshole--

TAVROS: *yeah take that*

MEENAH: *she just blinks at the now stumbling troll coming towards her and catches him...before slamming his shitty head to the deck*

GAMZEE: *gamzee comes down with a hard bonk of his club from the other angle, double teaming the assailiant with his bro. motherfuck yeah!!!!!!!!*

JOHN: *he blinks at that, mildly impressed.* ...i am going to guess he had it coming?

MEENAH: *makes the i dunno sound, jogging over to tavros to help him up*

TAVROS: *takes her hand and hoists his big ole self up onto sandal'd feet* tHANKS, *looks her up and down* aRE YOU OKAY, i SAW YOU GOING HEAD TO HEAD, wITH A GUY, bRIEFLY,

VRISKA: *growls at the double blades* Cheater!!!!!!!! *but hell, one blade against two is a little tough, and she's starting to struggle a little, amping up her speed to match all her opponent's swings. luckily for Vriska, speed is her forte, and hopes she can outlast her opponent and go in for the kill the second their guard goes down*

MEENAH: yeah im good it wa snofin i couldnt handle *thats a thank you, john* you shore yer okay?

TAVROS: yES, i'M FINE, *sniffs, rubbing the blood away from his nose* wELL EXCEPT, i THINK MY NOSE MIGHT BE BROKEN, bUT IT'S NOTHING,

--the troll assaulting Aranea leads their weight into the blade when it's met hers, grinning at her--

JOHN: *shrugs with a small 'eh!' and after making a small note to say hi to the unexpected tavros later he decides to run out to help knock some more trolls out. he runs to help jake with the troll he decides to go against.*

ARANEA: *narrows her eyes* You did not receive permission to 8oard this ship. *That is, "Wtf are you people doing?"*

--Karkat totally slices this dude, and it totally gets taken out when Gamzee swings over and bonks him. That troll was so tagteamed, he had no hope to win this fight, and he goes toppling to the ground--

JAKE: *engaging in full gunkata he blasts in the direction of the guy causing aranea bother. his knees, let's say the knees* Hullo there john! Everything alright?

--The asshole who had tripped on tavros totally gets shot by jake too--

KARKAT: *you just got gamkar'd, bitch*

ARANEA: *Her lip curls at seeing that this dude is trying to take advantage of her height and in response, she hooks her leg around his shin in attempt to knock him to the ground.*

--The troll attacking vriska grins at her protest. But as their fight progresses, their guard indeed goes down, and it isn't long before he's been sliced and diced, courtesy of vriska--

--The one attacking Aranea raises a brow-- We didn't NEED permission to board. We're taking over! --tries to shove her to the ground, and if he succeeds he will swipe the blade at her again--

--Little did he know, Jake was shooting at him, and his weapon gets knocked out of his hands--

--*shot out of his hands

--There are only a few men left, one of which tried attacking Eridan--

ERIDAN: *but eridan blasted him away*

JAKE: *prepares to knee-cap the guy for real if he makes a move*

VRISKA: *hell yeah, diced and sliced. starts going after one of the remainings because she's still got some fight in her*

KARKAT: *yeah same, let's be useful oops*

ARANEA: *He does succeed 8ecause her 8alance is teetering with only one leg fully supporting her. However, she managed to catch his 8lade with the hook of hers just in time.*

JOHN: *once he reaches jake's side, he laughs at the casual greeting.* yeah, all peachy! *he spots one of the few remaining guys and tries to knock him out with a fierce gust of air-- to the ocean you go, punk!*

MEENAH: *meenah gives tavros a good ol pat ont he back that might have hurt a lil. she proceeds to rush over to the suddenly disarmed dude, cold cocking him because lets leave at least one alive*

GAMZEE: *you're not being useful until you return your bro's brofist, Karkat. Gamzee is totally going for one.*

KARKAT: *oh yeah sure, that definitely is happenin*

GAMZEE: *FIST BUNP*

MEENAH: *gives the guy a good stomp in case he wasnt fully unconcious. our merciful ruler*

GAMZEE: *okay seriously now the clown is back into action, heading over towards Tavros to check for any other interlopers too.*

JAKE: *Yep, knee-caps him. can't be too careful!*

MEENAH: woah shit

MEENAH: i think hes down jakenbake watch where yer shootin

KARKAT: *surprisingly goes to fight alongside vriska this time*

VRISKA: *hell yea BBBB)*

TAVROS: *casually turns to Gamzee, mostly just dealing with his bleeding nose. At least at the moment.*

--He glares in Jakes Direction and tries to take a swing with his fist at Aranea (because this guy is kind of dumb) but a gust from John sends him flying--

--That guy was so stomped by Meenah. She should be proud--

GAMZEE: *gamzee is momentarily transfixed by the sight of the bloody nose. :oO*

GAMZEE: you aight, bro?

--oh the guy attacking Jake gets kneecap'd too HE'S DONE FOR--

JAKE: *he's just knee-capping everyone by this point yep, finally leaping down off the rails to shout his victory and biff someone in the nose*

MEENAH: *man whatever shes just gonna drag a dude off to the side so he can continue being a living breathing person for a bit longer*

ARANEA: *Once Aranea stops 8eing useless and clam8ers to her feet, she clonks him over the head with the hilt of her sword.*

MEENAH: yeah ok is that all of em?

TAVROS: oH YES, i'M FINE, i JUST GOT KICKED IN THE FACE, iS ALL, *glances around for anyone else to fight... though technically he hasn't done anything besides accidentally trip people.*

JOHN: *He's also glancing around for any remaining enemies to knock down*

GAMZEE: *Gamzee gave Tavros his usual lazy smile, though he doesn't... t ake off. He's still staring at the blood. Stop it, Gamzee.*

--For now it looks like that was everyone... All seems still on the enemy ship--

ERIDAN: *calmly flutters down to the deck, and makes sure not to step in any blood* wwe gotta search the other ship

VRISKA: Yeah. *looks around*........Everyone ok?

TAVROS: *looks back to notice he's being stared at. that's not too unusual, but he's a little curious as to what he's so fixated on. However, Eridan's command derails his train of thought and he beckons for Gamzee to follow him* i GUESS WE'RE GOING TO THE OTHER SHIP NOW,

ARANEA: *nods, lowering her sword down to her side.* Though some should stay and guard this one.

MEENAH: we should probubbly tie this dude up just sayin

JAKE: *does that cool spinning thing as he puts the guns back away* All tickety boo here! And yes, we might need to attend to that first.

JAKE: And then the person or persons who stay behind can maybe have a word with them!

KARKAT: *nods, pulling out a rag from his pocket to wipe the blood off his weapon*

ARANEA: *Pulls some rope out of her sylladex and hands it to her.* Got you covered.

JAKE: Find out their purpose, as it were.

JOHN: *Puts away the hammer he barely used, and waits to see who'd rather stay-- he'd rather explore the enemy ship than talk to some hostage.*

MEENAH: *rolls her eyes* thats most likely not a huge seacret but you can probs find out somefin p useful

VRISKA: I 8n't staying, you guys figure that out. *moves over to the railing, sword still in hand, and gets ready to head over to the other ship*

ARANEA: *Touches her nose*

JAKE: *raises an eyebrow he don't know jack about civil unrest yo* *Waits to see who's going where before he decides anyways*

GAMZEE: HUH? oh yeah, aight man. ALL CHILL WITH THAT LURID NOISE. *he does tear his eyes away, looking a little unsteady for a sec. He glances around to make sure his palebro is fine and also coming before following Tavros.*

ERIDAN: *is definitely following after Vriska to go to the other ship* you dont need THAT many trolls on one asshole most a you come wwith us there may still be others to fight on the other ship JOHN: *screw it, might as well get going to the ship as well...he follows after vriska and eridan.*

KARKAT: IS SOMEBODY GONNA CLEAN UP THIS MESS BEFORE IT DRIES?

TAVROS: *NOT ME. ABSCONDS ONTO THE OTHER SHIP AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. he refuses to be the swabby again nope nope*

VRISKA: *DAMNIT SHE MISSED HER CHANCE*

ERIDAN: yeah kar you can

ERIDAN: thanks for offerin

TAVROS: *hahaha sucker*

ERIDAN: *AND HE'S ON THE OTHER SHIP*

VRISKA: *oh snap get wrecked. joins her 8oos on the other ship*

KARKAT: *sudden deflate* WHY THE SHIT EATING FUCK DID I EVEN GET ON THIS SLAVE SHIP WITH THESE NUBGARGLING- *various other obscenities as he goes to find a mop and stuff*

MEENAH: *sighs, looking between the two options*

JAKE: *ollies over the railing like yeaaaaah exploring* Shant be long!

JOHN: *waves at karkat from afar as he reaches the other ship like lol byeeee*

MEENAH: imma just

MEENAH: tie this dude up i guess

GAMZEE: *Clean that shit up? With his bro's dismay Gamzee decides to help. He maaay or may not try and bottle some of the blood from the corpses that were still full of juice. Okay, yeah, he probably was going to. He’s totally talking to Karkat.* i got your motherfuckin back, motherfucker. HONK.

KARKAT: *mumble grumbles* THANKS. *where the hell do we even keep the cleaning stuff? down into the ship he goes to search*

MEENAH: *grabs some assorted ropes, restraining the unconcious lowblood. as a final touch meenah takes her fish bandana thing and ties it around his eyes*

TAVROS: *frowns because he lost a clown on the way over to the ship, but tries not to worry about it. He starts searching the enemy ship, and by that I mean he's just kinda shuffling around on the deck because he doesn't really give a shit.*

ERIDAN: *is opening the door to the enemy brig and decending the stairs*

KARKAT: *back up on deck, hey let's get to cleaning and complaining about it the whole time*

JAKE: *Is shimmying up the enemy crow's nest maybe there's something cool up there*

VRISKA: *follow follows but grabs Tavros by the sleeve to make him follow come on get hype*

TAVROS: *but I don't wannaaaaa*

VRISKA: *too bad mister*

--The crowsnest looks pretty empty on first glance, but if he looks on the other side of the mast from where he's viewing, there should be a small box--

JOHN: *he's also following the leaders, the leaders, the leaders, follwing the leaders wherever they may go♪*

--IN THE BRIG there is a chained up lusus: a fierce three-headed dog lusus. ANd it is not happy that you killed its trollkid. Behind the Dog, there is a dungeonesque door--

--also for the people still on Eridan's ship, Namely karkat since he's looking for it, there is a closet he might find cleaning supplies in, but unfortunately there's also a bucket in there. Right by the mop. How l00d.--

KARKAT: *pirate's life ain't for me...*

TAVROS: *oooo doggy* oH LOOK, a BARK BEAST LUSUS, *does nothing about it*

JOHN: and it doesn't look really nice. like, at all.

VRISKA: Yes, you sure nailed that one. *glances at Eridan, knowing she'll probs get chomped on if she tries to get too close*

JAKE: *Oh neat, treasure! Good thing he investigated. Taking it in both hands he shakes it a little next to his ear, then sees about opening that shit up*

GAMZEE: *WHEN KARKAT WENT TO FIND STUFF, Gamzee totally got his convenient bottles out and went collecting. aww yeeeeeeee*

ERIDAN: ... *peers to see the door around the dog.* ... *really wants to see what's behind that door and is totally raising his hands to blast the pooch*

MEENAH: *is just kinda waltzin around watching karkat work* hey shouty you any good with swimterrogations

--Jake hears a rattling in the chest, and when he opens it, he finds....TROLL MONEY! But there is also a necklace and some piraty earrings. and a striped blue bandana--

JAKE: *Ah yes, to the victor the spoils. He doesn't know what the heck he's going to do with the money or the jewelry, but stores them away for later anyway before putting on the bandana. He probably looks SO COOL*

KARKAT: *sneers, annoyed that this nasty little cultural symbol is needed for his task, grumbling as he mops* I GOT SWIM... INTERROGATED ONCE. I LEAVE THAT SHIT TO TEREZI, REALLY.

TAVROS: *smile smile... oh wait. SUDDENLY GLARING.* eRIDAN, uHH, wHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING,

MEENAH: yeah well she aint here

ERIDAN: im about to dispatch our advversary wwhat the fucks it look like im doin

KARKAT: WHOA. SHE ISN'T? GOD DAMN. *aggressively swabs the deck*

JOHN: *he frowns* we can't just kill it like that, dude.

VRISKA: Why not????????

--it BARKS LOUDLY--

JOHN: i don't know, it's chained up anyways so-- *TOTALLY GIRLY YELP AT THE BARK*

TAVROS: yOU DON'T JUST, kILL A BEAST LIKE THAT! i WONT LET YOU,

TAVROS: i CAN TAKE CARE OF IT, gEEZ,

VRISKA: UUUUUUUUGH. It's just a fucking lusis for fuck's sake.

GAMZEE: *gamzee is happy with his bounty and does his best to help karkat. he's pretty useless though and is mostly idly scratching his greasy head.*

MEENAH: yeah i know shes the only asshole who DIDNT decide to get ont he ship

MEENAH: look do ya think you could give it shot

TAVROS: *looks deeply offended by Vriska's comment and resumes his communing, trying to get the beast to calm down and move aside*

KARKAT: SURE. FINE. I'LL SLAP HIM AROUND A LITTLE. *looks at mop, looks at guy, looks at meenah, looks at mop* GAMZEE. THINK YOU COULD TAKE OVER FOR A MINUTE?

MEENAH: he aint awake yet but uh shore whatebber why wait

ERIDAN: *CROSSES HIS ARMS and stares at Tavros, doubting he can do anything like a Thomas*

KARKAT: WHY GIVE HIM TIME TO REST? THAT'S FOR PRISONERS WHO DIDN'T JUST TRY TO KILL US.

--Tavros is too talented for the beast not to obey, and it calms down and moves to the side--

GAMZEE: fuck yeah, brother. GOT THIS SHIT LOCKED THE MOTHERFUCK DOWN. ain't no escape what it's to ever fuckin find. YOU MOTHER FUCKING FEEL ME, BRO? *gamzee accepts the mop and promptly begins to kind of rub the wet mop at the deck. Yeah he's not very good at the cleaning thing.

JOHN: *!! oh man, communing is as cool as ever. he grins.* haha, just like that time with the dragon, nice!

TAVROS: *smiles and gives the beast a pet on each snoot before smiling over at John* hEH, yEAH, tHANK YOU jOHN,

KARKAT: YEAH. I MOTHERFUCKING FEEL YOU, BRO. *it feels so wrong to talk like that what the heck. whatever, he goes to squat in front of the tied up dude and slaps him to wake him up*

VRISKA: *ROLLS EYES, clearly not impressed* Ugh fine, let's just get in here. *and goes to open the door*

MEENAH: (make sure not to take off that blindfold man)

KARKAT: (yeah sure, not touching it)

JOHN: *he pats his shoulder like gj man! and then steps to see what's behind the door vriska's opening*

TAVROS: * ಠ_ಠ at vriska. at least john appreciates his prowess. he hangs back to ensure the dog stays calmed down.*

--ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR... is more treasure. There's piles of coins laying around and there's a couple chests, just waiting to be opened--

ERIDAN: *rolls his eyes at Tavros and follows Vriska and John to the door*

VRISKA: *oh man so much booty. nabs a couple handfulls of coins for herself*

JOHN: *he heads for a chest to open it-- holding back the urge to lift it above his head and make the painfully obvious legend of zelda reference.*

--Well, a Zelda reference would be appropriate because there's totally a boomerang and some bombs in that chest. The boomerang is kind of impractical and if it can even fly, who knows, because someone's gone and glued plastic gems all over it--

TAVROS: *sends vibes from the other room to encourage such a reference*

VRISKA: *walks over to John to see what he found* Oooooooo, what'd you fi-what the fuck.

JOHN: well, the bombs are cool, but...*a pout at the fab boomerang* yeah, do you think this is worth keeping?

ERIDAN: *shrugs* treasure is treasue

VRISKA: *moves over to the other chest* Psh, do I even want to see what's in this one?

JOHN: *he stares down at the boomerang, and then at eridan's fancy clothes. hmmm. he holds out the box.* here, do you want to keep this?

--the treasure chest looks so openable. of course you want to--

ERIDAN: yeah you might as wwell vvris *looks at john* ... wwhat you dont wwant it

VRISKA: *sighs of course she does and she might as well. opens that sucker up*

JOHN: not really, bling ain't my thang. :O

ERIDAN: wwell okay *accepts the bitchin blingin boomerang* *puts it in his sylladex 'cause why wouldn't he want that?*

--INSIDE THE CHEST.... is a tome, a couple of pairs of handcuffs (also bling'd up), and one of those lances that you can fold up like those swords you can play with as a kid. except the end definitely looks sharp--

VRISKA: Uh........Wow get a load of this. *holds up the tomb and handcuffs first*

JOHN: *while he was looking out for another chest to open, he glances vriska's way and snorts at the handcuffs.* wow, fabulous.

ERIDAN: wwait is that a magic tome or just a regular book

JOHN: *digs around for another chest, he totally opens another one if there is more to find--*

VRISKA: *totally stuffs one of those pairs of handcuffs away no one saw that and shrugs* I don't know. *holds it out* Wanna see?

ERIDAN: *takes it from her and starts flipping through the pages, looking eager at first, but his face soon falls* ............ this isnt a magic tome at all not a magic anythin *holds it out to them and it's pretty easy to see that it's fanfiction*

--some trolls fanfiction about their human ocs, specifically. this particular page is about them motorbiking on the great wall of china--

KARKAT: *romantic fanfiction?*

--yes, very much so--

KARKAT: *subconscious grabby hands*

MEENAH: *meenahs treasure nose is itching so bad rn*

VRISKA: *shakes her head and holds out the other pair of saucy cuffs and the lance* Anyone want these?

ERIDAN: ... *takes the handcuffs* *raises a brow at the lance* isnt that tavvs strife specibi

JOHN: *hm maybe if i do the loz noises i'll find more chests. or if i break stuff. quick where's a vase.......*

VRISKA: *thinks about just chucking the lance at Tavros*

TAVROS: *peeks into the room when he hears his name*

VRISKA: *also sly-eyes Eridan* Whatcha going to do with those?

ERIDAN: *oh no eridan started to blush when Vriska asked it* ...n nothin

VRISKA: Mmmmmmmmhm. *sly eyes-eyes him some more before spotting a peaking Tavros* Here, catch! *CHUCKS IT AT HIM, but slightly to the side so she doesn't suddenly become kismesis-less*

TAVROS: wHAT THE, *ducks to the side to avoid being impaled by a lance... ahaha... but he would have avoided such a fate anyway since she was being "courteous". When he reemerges he snatches up the lance and looks it over* tHIS IS KIND OF WEIRD LOOKING, bUT i GUESS i CAN USE IT,

JAKE: *Is just admiring the view as he moves about the rigging at this point*

JOHN: *pouts some more at apparent lack of more chests; he doesn't really care for coins, so he decides to hang back while glancing around the room some more*

TAVROS: *looks up from the lance at the others* sO UH, aRE YOU DONE IN HERE,

ERIDAN: just a minute *starts stuffing treasure into his sylladex and when he's done...* okay wwere done here

VRISKA: *looks around* Aaaaaaaalright. *grabs a few more handfulls of coins for good measure and starts to head out*

TAVROS: oKAY, *stares longingly back at the dog lusus... thinking about how he'll be stuck out here at sea... all alone... with no food...* }:( *shifty eyes*

TAVROS: *captchalogues the lusus*

JOHN: *:O*

TAVROS: *you saw nothing...*

JOHN: *...ok, bro. casually heads out as well.*

TAVROS: *flutters back over to their ship with his new friend safe in his pocket*

JOHN: *once out, he spots jake around the rigging and calls up.* hey, dude! found anything cool up there!?

VRISKA: *sticks around because she wants to know too*

JAKE: *Skitters down like a brawny spidermonkey* Not half! Have a look at this bandana!

JAKE: And i found some troll currency too!

KARKAT: *yeah that guy didn't wake up, so he went back to moppin up the blood. by the time they bother to get back, it'

KARKAT: ll be spotless*

VRISKA: *sneers a little* Jeez, these guys didn't have anything good at all. *mumble grumbles on back over to the ship*

JOHN: that's a choice bandana, though!

JOHN: *it is blue after all ahuehue*

ERIDAN: yeah no fuckin kiddin this stuff is like shit

TAVROS: *scurries under the deck to find a place where he can stow away his new friend*

JAKE: *beams proudly yes he thought you might like it* Well, considering we had no idea wed come across the stuff, id say he didnt do too badly!

JAKE: No one got hurt, after all.

JOHN: can't say the same for the owners of the ship though...

JAKE: *Winces* Quite right... I wonder what the policy is for dealing with them.

VRISKA: *totally heard that from the other ship* Them's the 8r8ks!!!!!!!!

JOHN: *a small sigh at that.* oh well. i guess we go back to our own ship now.

ERIDAN: yeah wwe plundered this one enough ERIDAN: *PURPLY WINGS AHOY* *flies back to the other ship*

JAKE: *Claps john on the back before vaulting back over to their own craft, probably retreating to polish his pistols WHICH IS NOT AN INNEUENDO IN ANY WAY*

KARKAT: *you disgust me, english*

JOHN: *well now all that's left for john to do is to retreat back as well. he gives the ship they just stole from a little glance before heading back and yeah time to hit the cabin as if i hadn't done that for most of the actual action-y part*

KARKAT: *karkat, on the other hand, puts away the cleaning stuff then climbs back up into the crow's nest.*

ERIDAN: *IS BACK BY VRISKA'S SIDE and probably heads down to their room with her to rest after all that excitement*

ERIDAN: *but before he does that, he totally shoots a hole in the other boat to let it sink to the bottom*

ERIDAN: *of the ocean

VRISKA: *swoons*

VRISKA: *but yeah she's outie now*

MEENAH: *you betta have gotten all the treasure*

ERIDAN: *he took as much as his sylladex would hold*

ARANEA: *If there's more you can always, you know. swim to get it.*

ARANEA: *Aranea, who has 8een standing around awkwardly this entire time, watches as the other ship is sunk and heads to her original post at the the 8ack of the ship.*

[03:24] -- corpseAnnotator [CA] began trolling arachnoGolden [AG] at 15:24 --

[03:27] CA: *slowly sits up, feeling really groggy from his food coma. But as it's evening now, it's time to make breakfast, and he slides out of bed and stumbles for the kitchen. his belly has mostly recovered by this point, but he's so used to pulling stuff like that, that it's no big deal to him that he's still not 100%.*

[03:32] AG: *but on the otherhand, Vriska is totally not used to it at all. she rolls over, burying her face into a pillow with a groan as she's woken up some by his movement. she is absolutely thinking about punching his arm when she has the strength for it*

[03:36] CA: *he started prepping some oatmeal and eggs for them, topped with cheese* *heard her groan and looks over at the bed* hey vvris im makin us breakfast okay

[03:39] AG: *groans again, but it's a little more wimpy this time* Fuuuuuuuuck, whyyyyyyyy.

[03:46] CA: wwhat do you mean wwhy breakfast is the most important meal a the day *walks over and sits down on the bed*

[03:49] AG: It isn't when you just ate like a week's worth of food in one sitting. *barely turns her face in the pillow so she can look up at him with one eye*

[04:00] CA: *shrugs and starts eating his portion of breakfast* come on vvris i put cheese on em its a special breakfast

[04:04] AG: *stares at the meal...that does look pretty good...*........Ugh, FIIIIIIIINE, YOU WIN. *flops over so she can sit up and starts nibbling on some of the eggs*

[04:08] CA: if you wwant wwe can go do somethin activve later unless youre feelin too groggy to do anythin cause to be honest i dont feel like goin much a anywwhere

[04:13] AG: I feel like I need to go run around half of Alturnus, 8ut I really don't think I can handle doing something remotely close to that. *chew chew* Do you still have an outfit you use specifically for sailing?

[04:14] CA: oh yeah i do i still havve my captains jacket from wwhen wwe used to do it wwhen wwe wwere kids but its probably too small... i suppose i could ask kan to make another one thats my size

[04:14] CA: it wwould feel wwrong takin on the high seas wwithout it

[04:16] AG: Right? *sighs* I lost mine a loooooooong time ago and I never got it back. Plus I really dou8t I'd 8e a8le to still fit in something I did when I was six sweeps.

[04:17] CA: yeah no kiddin wwere adult sized trolls noww *nod nod* wwanna vvisit kan wwith me later to get that done

[04:20] AG: Yeah! We need the proper gar8 if we want everyone on the ship to take us seriously, right? *gives him a grin and keeps on eating her food*

[04:26] CA: yeah wwe gotta look like the ships TRUE captain an first mate it wwont do no good if wwere not obvviously showwn as leaders *nom nom nom* *luckily even though it is both oatmeal and eggs, it's still a fairly light breakfast. nothing belly busting about it, but definitely filling*

[04:33] AG: *nods at him, and for once she's not quietly making fun of him about something to do with this trip. she really does want to look the part for this trip, and maybe even get a little more fancy this time instead of a plain old jacket. she's almost finished with the eggs, leaving what's left to start going for the oatmeal instead* I'm pretty convinced now that you're just trying to make me fat.

[04:38] CA: wwait WWHAT *his fins pin back* wwhy the fuck wwould i be doin THAT

[04:41] AG: *shrugs* I don't know, 8ut look at all this fucking food I eat when I'm around you! *grins and raises an eyebrow at him* You're 8ecoming a 8ad influence for my figure, Eridan.

[04:44] CA: wwell if you do end up gettin fat i can assure you my opinion a you wwont change in the slightest *returns the grin and pokes her belly*

[04:50] AG: *jumps becase no belly pokes those tickle and SMACKS THAT HAND AWAY, but she grins even more at him* Good. If I didn't love 8eing a8le to move around and still 8eing a8le to kill stuff I'd take you up on that and just sit here in this 8ed forever and get as fat as I want.

[04:55] CA: *rubs his hand, but doesn't mind the smack at all, he totally deserved it* does that mean you really do lovve eatin as much as i do youre just more careful about it

[05:00] AG: *nods her head back and forth* Yeah, that sounds a8out right! With the way I fight, I have to 8e quick and light on my feet, so I gotta keep myself in sh8pe to do all that!

[05:10] CA: yeah true i dont gotta wworry as much about that cause im a marksman all i gotta keep in peak condition is my aim an shit

[05:14] AG: Yeah, must 8e nice. *gets a mischieveous grin* You can 8e as laaaaaaaazy as you want and you can still 8e a kinda good fighter.

[05:16] CA: KINDA good you mean AMAZINLY good

((WHICH TRANSLATES TO INSERT KANAYNAY LOG HERE))

[11:11] CA: *wanders back to the room after all that shit happened, opens the door, and just walks to the bed and flops down*

[11:13] AG: *closes the door quietly behind her, slowly wandering over to sit on the edge of the bed next to him* Hey........

[11:15] CA: wwhat *deoesn't look up at her*

[11:17] AG: Don't let her get to you. *starts petting his hair* I didn't used to call her Fussyfangs for nothing.

[11:18] CA: yeah i guess i kinda forgot howw she can be sometimes cause its not as if i hadnt had to deal wwith her actin like that sometimes too remember wwhen she used to auspisticize betwween us

[11:21] AG: *smirks* Yeah, I do. Like I said; Fussyfangs. *siiiiiighs* Still though, that was preeeeeeeetty awkward.

[11:22] CA: ugh *pushes himself up and gets to sitting* yeah it really wwas... you saww wwhat happened at the party right

[11:24] AG: Yeah I did. I gotta say though, she's kinda right. Trying to kill Equius over something stupid like that? Come on, Eridan.

[11:32] AG: Just a little. *sighs and gives him a quick peck on the cheek* And yeah, I know that. You DID just threaten to 8eat the shit out of Rufioh for me yesterday. *grins*

[11:36] CA: *sighs* yeah... i did *smiles at her, and crawls so that he can bury his face into her stomach and lay half lay on her*

[11:40] AG: *laughs a little, and starts playing with his hair again. she sits like that with him for a little while before she speaks up again* Hey, you still feel like proving to me that you haven't gotten rusty? 8ecause I have an idea.

[11:40] CA: really wwhats your idea *continues to lay like that, because the hair petting is so relaxing*

[11:42] AG: Wanna have me throw a 8unch of shit off the roof and have you try to shoot it all?

[11:43] CA: *looks up at her* wwoah really *grins* yeah wwe can do that

[11:46] AG: Gr8, let's do it then. *grins on back, kinda trying to wiggle out from under him*

[11:49] CA: *gives her belly a kiss before getting off of her, making it easier for her to get up* guess youre gunna get some exercise after all *slides off the bed*

[11:52] AG: Yes 8ecause throwing shit is suuuuuuuuch a work out. *gets up, heading for the door* Follow me, I need to gra8 the ammunition first.

[11:52] CA: yeah okay *closes the door behind them after they leave the room, and follows behind her*

[11:59] AG: *heads towards the cafeteria, doing a quick look around to make sure no one else was there, then goes for looking for cups, plates, silverware, grabbing a good but inconspicuous amount, stuffing all of it into her sylladex. turns back to head towards the door* You didn't see anything.

[12:00] CA: a course especially considerin all trace is gunna disappear soon *grins*

[12:01] AG: *snickers* Exactly. *and then they're off to DA ROOF*

[12:02] CA: *HELL YEAH* *heads on outside and starts flying to the top, which is a little more of an effort than usual, but makes it up okay* *LE LANDS*

[12:05] AG: *floats on up, then starts going through her sylladex* Ok........Let's start with something easy first........*pulls out a plate* Does one pl8 sound easy enough?

[12:07] CA: *nods and his hands start to glow as he gets in a ready stance* yeah one plate sounds too easy

[12:08] AG: Alright, here goes! *frisbees that plate off the roof*

[12:10] CA: *just like he said, he shoots a small blast and obliterates the poor plate* see i told you i could do it

[12:11] AG: Try this then. *pulls out three of 'em, tossing them all out one right after the other*

[12:15] CA: *squints an eye and takes aim, blasting the first two easily, almost misses the third, but takes another blast at it*

[12:18] AG: Uh oh, caaaaaaaareful!!!!!!!! *smirks at him, and pulls out two cups instead this time* Little smaller, 8ut you can handle it, right?

[12:20] CA: pfft a course i can i wwas born able to handle that shit

[12:28] CA: *BLASTS ARE SENT* *he manages to hit both of those cups, and looks pretty pleased with himself* am i provvin to you that i still got it yet

[12:29] AG: *WHOA SNEAK ATTACK THROWS ANOTHER AS SOON AS HE STOPS TALKING*

[12:31] CA: *OH FUCK he wasn't expecting that and he fires a shot and misses the cup* ................

[12:34] AG: *makes a fist to cover her mouth, trying to hide the huge shit-eating grin she has right now, and to keep her laughter back as she stares at him*

[12:37] CA: *eyes sloooooowly turn to her* .......... *he is so embarassed*

[12:39] AG: *sputters out a laugh, unable to hold back* Oops.

[12:40] CA: okay so MAYBE im a LITTLE rusty but its NOT because im LAZY

[01:12] AG: *snickers again, having a hard time believing that THIS is where her red interests lie. watches him for just a moment longer, then she hefts that plate to the sky*

[01:14] CA: *WHIPS around and blasts the plate, restoring his honor* *well, sorta* *it was a messy shot* HAH see

[01:17] AG: Damn! You actually hit it........Alright, I stand corrected then.

[01:26] AG: *ROLLS EYES* I'll 8elieve it when I see it. *but damn that was pretty cool and impressive, she can't deny that, and she reaches up to grab his scarf, using that to pull him into another kiss*

[01:30] CA: *blushes when she kisses him, fins fluttering* good thing youre gunna get a fuckton a opportunity to see it

[01:33] AG: Heh, I'll 8e a 8eliever in no time then. *tilts her head as she looks up at him* It's an even 8etter thing that I happen to like watching you 8last things then.

[01:42] CA: thats good cause you get to wwatch me blast things a lot *gives her another kiss*

[01:47] AG: *grins against his lips, pulling away quickly after a second* Oh, here. *steps away some to dump the rest out of her sylladex and onto the roof, which is just a couple more cups and a handful of silverware. walks back over right to him* Can you do me a favor and help me cover my tracks?

[01:56] CA: wwant me to blast that pile right there *le griiiin*

[01:57] AG: *nods and grins* Ooooooooh yeah.

[02:03] CA: *takes aim, and decides to get all dramatic about this. Poses like he's going to shoot a couple times, but doesn't. Poses again and then twirls around, letting his cape billow out and blasts the pile*

[02:08] AG: *watches him INTENSELY, but when he starts parading around she can't help but let out some half-laugh/half-giggles, SHE LOVES IT*

[02:12] CA: *keeps his pose with his arms stretched out for a moment longer, cape splayed out, before straightening up and looking at Vriska again, a dead serious look on his face* howw about that

[02:16] AG: *squints at him, eyeing him and then the pile, then back to him, giving him an equally serious look* That was pretty hot.

[02:33] AG: *up up and awaaaayyy. she brings out her wings as well so he's not just carrying her around, even though she is totally okay with making him carry her places, but today she wants to actually move around on her own*

[02:34] CA: *he would have gladly done that for her but lets her fly on her own as he flies down to the ground*

[02:36] AG: *lands as well, lacing her fingers in his with a smile before she starts heading back towards his room*

[03:35] AG: *watches him for a moment, then snaps out of it to pull off her own shirt. she still feels a little embarrassed like she used to, but she goes at it with no hesitation anymore, and she starts going for her pants now, too*

[03:39] CA: *starts going for his pants as well.* *wonders if it'd be okay to pull his underwear off this time as well, considering they've actually DONE THE DEED now, and holds the hem of his troll undergarments and eyes her to see her reaction*

[03:45] AG: *blinks, looking away from him with a small smile and a blush creeping up on her. but yeah, it's nothing she's never seen before, and she glance back over at him, waiting to see what he'd do*

[03:49] CA: *slooooowly starts lowering his undergarments, his face slowly turning violet*

[03:55] AG: *thought at first that this wouldn't be weird or awkward, but she didn't take into account that this is a completely different situation than the last time they saw each other naked. to keep her eyes from wandering toooo much, she focuses instead on taking off her own underwear, quickly getting rid of the top before shimmying out of the bottom*

[03:57] CA: ... *gets them underwears off then moves over to her when she's done and is sexy buck nakey* wwell... time to find out if this thing is gunna mess wwith me again

[04:01] AG: Wh-Oh yeah. Let's uh, let's find out. *oh man is she blue right now. but she grabs onto his hand, leading him on over, and steps into it because LADIES FIRST*

[04:07] AG: I know, right? That's why we use it so often! *grins at him, leaning in as well and wraps her arms around his back*

[04:08] CA: *nuzzles her cheek before letting out a long sigh* thanks for bein so awwesome vvris...

[04:11] AG: *laughs a little* It's no pro8lem, really. *tilts her head to press her lips to his cheek* ........Thanks for thinking I'm so awesome.

[04:13] CA: youre wwelcome... *smiles again, and his eyes are already starting to droop. damn, this sopor works fast on him* *leans into her and sighs again, letting himself be all entangled in her for their slumber*

[04:18] AG: *rests her head on his shoulder as she relaxes completely against him, and takes a little longer for her to be knocked out by it, but she eventually joins him*

[07:28] CG: IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PROVE A POINT WITH ALL THIS LETTER REPITITION, JUST STOP.

[07:28] CG: ASK THE DAMN QUESTION ALREADY.

[07:29] AG: Jeez, someone's more grouchy than normal today!!!!!!!! Kinda makes me not even want to invite you to do this thing!

[07:30] AG: 8ut if I didn't, Makara would pro8a8ly get upset and we can't have THAT can we?

[07:30] CG: HE'S CAPABLE OF GOING PLACE WITHOUT ME, WHY WOULD THIS UPSET HIM MORE THAN USUAL?

[07:32] AG: 8ecause he wants you to come along! NOW, the question is: Have you ever dreamed of setting sail on the gr8 high seas in search of glory and goods that only the 8est of the 8est could possi8ly achieve????????

[07:33] CG: I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD A DREAM LIKE THAT.

[07:34] AG: I don't know! May8e 8ecause it'd 8e fun????????

[07:35] AG: Ok, the reason why I'm asking is 8ecause Eridan and I are getting a crew together.

[07:35] CG: THE TRUTH COMES OUT.

[07:36] CG: WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG TO TELL ME THAT? IT MAKES A HELL OF A LOT MORE SENSE THAN WANTING ME ALONG TO HAVE FUN.

[07:37] CG: OTHER THAN GAMZEE'S REQUEST, I HAVE LITERALLY NO KIND OF HELP TO OFFER.

[07:37] CG: HOPE YOU DON'T MIND THE WEIGHT OF A TROLL CARCASS TAGGING ALONG, BECAUSE THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I'LL BE.

[07:38] AG: So? Neither has Gamzee! Jake hasn't either 8ut he's going, too!

[07:38] AG: And it's not THAT hard to 8e on a ship, we're mostly just gra88ing you guys to come along incase we have to take something out.
