IC Contact for Midnight Syndicate

[polariity]

[For anyone familiar enough with the Psiioniic or even who just plain asks around, it's easy enough to find his room over in Gloria's wing. There's a tiny little box with a slit on it attached to his door, plainly wooden save for the gemini symbol carved onto it.]

[Of course, anyone further familiar with him can contact him on his husktop at any time.]

Unadvii2able.
IIt'2 a goddamn 2hiithole.
Although once you're away from other people, then iit can be pretty niice.

[samantha_grey]

I'm actually more interested in those parts anyway. I know this might sound dumb, but I'd kind of like to see the world Eridan grew up in.

[polariity]

Hold your breath.
Liiterally and fiiguratively, he'2 a fuckiing ocean dweller
And iit'2 full of horriible bull2hiit

[samantha_grey]

That's what magic is for. But yes, I suppose it would be good to prepare. Frostfire would react oddly underwater, and electricity's not the wisest attack choice out there when you're in those conditions.

[polariity]

Don't go too deep.

[samantha_grey]

Dare I ask why? The currents really strong or something?

[polariity]

...Okay 2o none of the troll2 you've 2poken to have explaiined about the fuckiing horrorterror that liive2 down there?

[samantha_grey]

No, they haven't, but I'm not necessarily surprised. Giant sea monsters sort of seem par for the course. Is it safe to assume there's horrible things all over your planet that want to eat me, or is that just an ocean-view thing?

[polariity]

IIn general, yeah
But the ocean ii2 e2peciially bad
Lii2ten
One of the real rea2on2 that no one goe2 agaiin2t the Empre22 ii2n't becau2e of her
But her lu2u2

It'2 a fuch2iiablooded thiing
They 2hare the 2ame lu2u2 whiich lii2ten2 only to them
And the only rea2on iit doe2 that
ii2 becau2e that'2 the only ca2te that ii2 amu2e to iit'2 fuckiing p2ychiic 2creech

2eriiou2ly ha2 no one told you about thii2

[samantha_grey]

For all that I know a lot more than the average human about your world, there's a lot of holes. Your empress and I didn't get along enough to actually talk instead of just shout at each other and posture, and the people I spoke to were mostly just at the point they left their lusus. I think a couple of them knew all of this, but Sollux especially hated talking about the stuff from his world.

It wasn't my business, according to him.

[polariity]

I wonder iif they really ju2t left theiir lu2ii
2ee
IIf we don't keep that fuckiing thiing fed
IIt'2 p2ychiic voiice get2 2o loud iit 2tart2 to kiill off troll2
IIt'2 2aiid to 2tart off wiith tho2e weake2t to mental bull2hiit
aka lowblood2
But eventually iit make2 iit all the way to even hiighblood2

And the only thiing whiich can feed iit
are other lu2ii

[samantha_grey]

No, wait. That is more familiar. It was something Eridan used to talk about. When he and Feferi got along, he would help hunt lusii with her for hers. He didn't get into the 'why' of it. He just used it as a chest-beating exercise to prove he was dangerous to me. You know, weird black flirtations dumb kids get into.

[She'd been impressed, but she wasn't going to mention it.]

[polariity]

Well now you know
Lot2 of kiid2 grow up orphan2 becau2e of that 2hiit
And that'2 a22umiing their lu2u2 doe2n't get fucked iin 2ome other way

Anyway 2tay the fuck out of the ocean

[samantha_grey]

So it's orphans, or the whole race dies? Hasn't anyone seriously considered putting it down? If you're galactic conquerers, shouldn't you have the kind of firepower you need?

[polariity]

And lo2e theiir biig ace?
Plea2e
For hiighblood2 iit work2 out for them
2o they don't bother and ju2t make excu2e2 for why iit cant be done

Although per2onally
II wa2 tryiing to work on a way to 2hut the fuckiing bea2t up

[samantha_grey]

I don't know that it's an issue anymore. I know they were the age where they start leaving lusi behind, but if I remember correctly, your world was destroyed. So was the Earth in their reality. I'm not sure if the others mentioned this, and sorry if that's bearing bad news, but like you said.

Everyone was kind of leaving already.

[polariity]

II'll get you a bucket for my tear2

[samantha_grey]

That isn't how you're supposed to use a bucket.

[polariity]

Exactly

[samantha_grey]

I should be disturbed by the implications of that statement. I really should, but I'll choose not to be. This is one moment where lack of full understanding might be a good thing.

[polariity]

Eheheheheheheh

[samantha_grey]

You, like all of your species, have an uncanny knack for being really disturbing sometimes. Oh well, I think maybe that's enough storytime about our worlds, unless by some chance you're interested in weirdos flying around in tights and capes.

[polariity]

have fun iin 2ex hell
