...ok.

[Slightly less pouting goin' on.]

But don't die again. That's an order.

[speakveryclearly]

[A mocking salute.]

That would run quite contrary to my newfound nature as a creature of sunshine and sin. Just don't start any fires around me and I'll probably be alright.

I am serious about that. It's a significant weakness.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Well thankfully we got a sewere lack a' fire here. Plus it ain't like the crosshairs starts fires when it blasts shit so we should be ok.

But I'll keep it in mind anyhow.

[speakveryclearly]

[She purses her lips, thinking for a moment. Not about being thirsty. Too many imps were the fuel of her ascent, more than she could stomach now that she's less newhatched. Their blood is sluggish in her veins; she can feel her new strength and speed, muffled by the swill to hardly much more than she had before. Of course her mind chances on the thought of her server player as her next meal (a rainbow drinker a rainbow drinker she's a rainbow drinker she's a rainbow drinker), but it's only a thought.]

So what am I supposed to do in your land now that I'm here.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...

You mean besides kill angels.

[speakveryclearly]

Yes. Besides kill angels.

You have to at least have some plans for after kill angels?

[caligulas_aquarium]

Well I figured killin' angels was what I was meant to do.

So I guess we can...I dunno, explore the place some or some shit.

[speakveryclearly]

What's been your evidence for that assumption, again?

There are plenty of rooms in this building. Let's explore it for a while.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[WELL OFF THEY GO THEN at least it's not ascending the building again, that'd be a pain in the ass.]

Have you seen the things? They're horrible feathered monstrosities.

[speakveryclearly]

And I'm a horrible glowing monstrosity. That doesn't change how Karkat said they didn't drop grist, though... isn't that odd?

[caligulas_aquarium]

You ain't horrible. I mean you glow an' all but you're still Kan; you like bein' helpful an' dresses an' the sun an' whatewer the fuck else still, right.

Besides, you ain't ewen heard 'em yet, hawe you.

[speakveryclearly]

Yes.

No.

[...bluh.]

Yes to the first question; no to the second question.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...ok, well, no point in prowokin' 'em just for that I guess but you'll know 'em when you hear 'em. Worth killin' 'em just to shut 'em up I think.

[Eventually they reach the end of the hallway, the stairs leading to the floor below to the left, though to the right of them is a big pair of white doors he just seems to ignore, heading directly to the left without so much as a second thought.]

[speakveryclearly]

[She begins to follow him down the stairs, but fell behind a bit - she'd expected to go through the doors before he started down the stairs.]

What's in that room we just passed? The one with the double doors.

[She's just assuming he's been in there before.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He pauses, turning halfway to look back at her and the room in question.]

Dunno.

Doors won't open.

[speakveryclearly]

[She raises an eyebrow...]

Do you think they're made of marble, or something weaker?

[...and takes out her lipstick.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[...he can see where she's going with this so, he just shrugs.]

You can giwe it a shot if you want. I didn't think a' checkin'.

1/2

[speakveryclearly]

[Makes a lot of little lipstick marks, like so.]

2/2

[speakveryclearly]

[The ensuing gap is triangular, wider at the base.

BUST!!!]

1/2

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Huh. Convenient. The room they enter is itself like yet another hallway, lit by natural light coming in from rows of arches in the walls on either side of the room and looking just a little more decorated than the rest of the building; it's very possible this was meant to be accessed through a series of long and tedious puzzles that involved multiple trips back and forth from floor to floor.

Good thing they skipped all that shit though.

Once they reach the end, an altar stands raised somewhat by four or five steps, upon which rests an ornate white chest decorated with gold trims, probably a reward for whatever stupid puzzle shit they would have had to endure.

So considering this is his planet he's just gonna go ahead and open it.

AND FROM WITHIN...HE PRODUCES...

THIS]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He looks it over momentarily, holding it properly and looking down the sight, one eye closed. It really is a fancy looking piece of equipment.

So he just chucks it back in the chest and huffs.

Nothin' beats the crosshairs.]

Well, that was a waste a' time.

[speakveryclearly]

[While he was approaching that chest, she just... was puhing the chainsawed-out section of door into the corner to be neater, then stood by it as she waited for his evaluation of the treasure.]

I suppose the beautiful architecture has already lost its novelty to you.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...It's a fuckin' buildin', I really don't giwe a shit about it.

[He walks back down to the other side of the hall she is on, then stops beside her.]

I mean I kinda figured, y'know, I'd end up on some magical planet unique to my own personal sgrub adwenture I could conquer an' shit an' instead it's been nothin' since I got here.

[speakveryclearly]

...

[She strikes on a question that's bothered her during Eridan's entire adventure and finally rears its head now.]

Where are your imps? The underlings. The ogres. Any of them.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Well.

It.

[YEP JUST...AWKWARDLY PUSHIN' THE OL' FINGERS TOGETHER...LOOKIN' AWAY...]

I am pretty sure they may or may not hawe hightailed it once the angels started gettin' antsy.

Which may or may not hawe inwolwed unprowoked assaults otherwise not resultin' in any angel deaths but still gettin' 'em super fuckin' pissed. Though, uh, thankfully since none of 'em died once I stopped on account a' you dyin' an' me hawin' to announce it to eweryone they ain't still aggro'd as such.

I mean they're probably still around here somewhere. The imps an' all that, I mean.
