[The last that this certain troll could remember, he had been wide awake in Marina as he usually was that late at night. There had been some strange conversation he overheard on his headset, when suddenly the power entirely went out and even his vision had begun to go black until it went out much like the power had.

When he finally awakens, it's because he does so with a splash into the ocean. Immediately, he sputters until he gets to the surface and splashes about until he is able to swim his way back to shore, where he pants -- With his lungs, glad that he was able to get out before he had to use his gills too much to breathe. At some point he realizes there are a few fish stuck to him and flopping about, he subconsciously takes them off his clothes and throws them back into the ocean. Thankfully, he looks up towards the floating island above him instead of right away at his strange change of clothes and for once listens to the announcement. Now that he was filled in mostly on what the fuck was going on around him, he finally notices the orange jumpsuit -- Horrified that this was the standard-issue uniform, he immediately strips the wet clothes from his body so that he was now wearing nothing but his grey skin upon the beach ~~wasn't it wonderful to be a superior species with their genitals held inside their body~~. This prison didn't seem that different to him if like the last one it dumped him right into the ocean. Don't think he hadn't noticed the ankle monitor even before the wardens had mentioned it in their announcement, as well. New prison, was still a prison.

The wardens had mentioned a brown paper bag with his personal affects in it, which was close by on the warm sand instead of in the water like he had been just a moment ago, he gives a dramatic sigh of relief at that. Unfortunately, once he looks into it he rips it apart, there was nothing in it as Eridan hadn't had anything in his pockets. Now on a mission to retrieve his clothes so he wouldn't have to be without them for too much longer, he gets up and makes his way towards where he believes Sector 0 would be.

Once there he will search for his clothes, the strangest sight to anyone who spots him --

A still dripping wet sea troll completely naked without his orange jumpsuit on.

Feel free to get in his way at any moment as he attempts to find his clothes.]

[At some point, Cain traded his jumpsuit for simple black slacks and a dress shirt, figuring it would do until he could find all the pieces of his uniform--the hat especially. He did find his compiled observation report, and he was frowning at how much of it was suddenly obsolete. It largely obscures his vision.]

[He sees a familiar pair of horns, so he gestures vaguely in a direction without looking up.]

I think I saw your scarf and squirt gun over by the odd statue there.

	[While he won't admit it out loud, hearing Cain's voice relieves him quite a lot. His moirail is still with him in this new prison. At the vague gesture by the Commissar who was otherwise too busy reading some report to notice Eridan's nudity decision, said temporary nudist makes his way towards the direction of the so-called odd statue.] Thanks, Cai.

	No, I mean- [Cain sighs the most ever-suffering sigh in the multiverse.] Why did you take off your jumpsuit BEFORE finding them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-03 03:55 am UTC (link)
	I would rather be seen naked than caught wearin' that orange abomination. Anyway, it was soakin' wet after I was dumped right into the ocean. Now I just need to find my clothes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was dropped into a tree, and I didn't undress the minute a pinecone fell in. [Okay, he did, but he dressed right back up afterward, ok.] [He glances around a bit more.] I think I saw your pants somewhere, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-03 04:33 am UTC (link)
	A single pinecone is a lot different than bein' completely soaked head to toe. [Finding his shirt before anything else, he picks it up and pulls it over his head.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2012-07-04 06:12 am UTC (link)
	[Cain is doing his best to look anywhere but at Eridan.] A pinecone hurts. Being wet is just an inconvenience. [And then it hits him, and he throws down the report in exasperation.] And you're a sea troll! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[For the months you have known him, Cain, have you ever seen him voluntarily go into water? Other than for a shower, that is. Water which, obviously, is not a body of sea water in any form. At his moirail's exasperation at him being a sea troll, he turns to give him an incredulous look.]

Yeah? I used to live on an island around the sea, rode my lusus over the same stormy seas -- What more do you want? I'm a superior enough troll without havin' to delve into any fuckin' sea water and gettin' my hair wet. Do you have any idea how long it takes to style?

	[Wow he really didn't want Eridan to turn around. STARING AT THE FLOATING ISLAND NOW.] I really don't need to know. But the point is, you're more prepared to deal with seawater than I am with pinecones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[What's wrong, Cain, never seen a thirteen year old troll naked before? Oh, that's right, he hasn't. Either way, Eridan simply continues to search for his clothes. At least now he has a shirt on, not that it really saves Cain from what there is to look at. Which isn't much to be honest, but it's enough.]

Then how about we switch? Next time a prison dumps us anywhere you can get the seawater with all its salt content ruinin' your hair style and I'll take the pinecones.

	Deal. [Bet you weren't expecting that, Eridan.] [Then again, Cain wasn't expecting troll crotch. It's almost more disturbing that there isn't much there, and he's really just going to not think about it. He'll think about how pretty the island looks from down here, instead.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He really wasn't expecting that, but hey, he'll take it.] Deal. [Now, where are his other clothes... Oh, there's his cape! That immediately gets put on over his shoulders.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caligula's probably in the pet cafe. No idea about your hive, I'm afraid. [Cain pulls out his greatcoat and, with a dramatic flourish, slips it on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll have to go get him, then. Once I figure out where to put my recuperacoon until I find my shiphive...

[A dramatic flourish? Oh no, Cain has been around Eridan for too long now. No, it's clearly too late to fix that, he is lost forever in Eridan's charms, everyone already knows this.]

If my shiphive isn't found, can I room with you for awhile? Until I get it back.

	... [Cain desperately doesn't want to say "yes," but on the other hand, temporarily should be fine. He can't imagine Eridan wanting to room with a bunch of humans forever, after all.] I don't see why not. As long as it doesn't take too long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-17 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Hopefully it won't take too long even if my shiphive isn't here, I'll let you know once I figure that all out. Thanks until then, Cai! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A boy who looks to be in his midteens looks over, surprised, thinking he recognizes Eridan for a moment, and then shakes his head. He takes a step, looking confused. He stands still, and shakes his hands, looking like he's having a freak out.

Cain has just discovered that his teleportation and floating abilities have been capped for the day. He stomps over instead, his jumpsuit hanging off his thin form.]

You are a troll, right?

[Turns his head to stare at whoever this douche is, only immediately a douche to him because this guy either is or looks like a human. Eridan can never be sure which is which after he met the Doctor not too long ago. At least he isn't the only one who seems to have it out for the jumpsuit. Though, his own is laying around on the beach somewhere now instead of tattered into strips.]

Yeah, I'm a troll. What's it to you?

Good. My head is pounding, and if I had to speak to a human first thing I think I would rather die. [he looks up at the fake sky, then out to the less fake ocean, then to Eridan, shamelessly looking him up and down, but says nothing. He isn't easily disturbed, and he already had the distinct experience of seeing Gamzee naked. To him, it's a normal troll activity by now.]

I am burning up out here.

[Not that it was actually that warm, but being under-medicated will make him run hot. He fiddles with the cap, his hands shaking as he fumbles the entire thing, dropping the bottle and the pills into the sand. And without his psychic powers, he simply watches it wash away with the tide.]

Damn it! [kicks sand]

	You sure look like a human to me. [Is all Eridan says after whatever it was he just witnessed occur. To think Eridan thought he had it bad, this guy definitely seems to be getting the worst end of the stick.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not. I am a Galerian. Mother merely used human DNA as a building block. But Galerians are essentially better than humans in every way.

[he drags himself away from the water washing up. It isn't going to do him any good right now anyway.]

[to himself] But now, I suppose I need to find a hospital or kiosk. I wonder what is closer...

Oh, sorry. My name is Cain, what's yours?

[Cross his arms, not impressed in the least by that explanation. To him, using any part of a human might as well make them a human.]

May be better than a human, but there is no way you are not better than a sea dwellin' troll such as myself, no part a' human in me at all.

[Casually looks at the underside of one of his claws, as if that was much more interesting than the conversation they were having at the moment.]

Eridan Ampora, is my na --

[Hold on, that name --]

That's my moirail's name, what are you doin' with it?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toomanyzippers 2012-07-11 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	You moirail? [he stops and stares at Eridan] Is this something I should know? [he suddenly remembers a very frustrating conversation he had with Karkat] Is that like... your.. [damn, what was the word?] Kissing-mess? [close enough] I don't know, as far as I can tell, I had it first. Like forty thousand years before him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

-- Kissing-mess? No, kismesis. Also, no, it is not like that. Cai is my moirail, a kismesis is your most hated rival who you want to be better than more than anyone else. Your moirail looks after you and gives you advice, maybe when you don't exactly want the advice, but.

What do you know about my moirail? Obviously as much as you know about troll relationships, which is just about nothin'.

	kismesis [he repeats it, committing it to memory this time.] I have spoken to him a few times. I agree that I cannot claim to know him very well. I am more familiar with him than many of the other humans here. [shrug] He is not bad for a human, so we have spoken a few times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-24 08:25 am UTC (link)
	How many times have you even spoken to him? I doubt more than once and to be fair, he has never mentioned you either. Especially since I have spoken to him plenty a' times more than you ever will! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know, five or six times? In a couple weeks? [shrug] I'm not sure how this matters. This situation is a little strange. I have never argued with a naked person before. [pause] At least not like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	S'ok!! caligulasaqua 2012-08-05 03:12 am UTC (link)
