[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.

	[It's only the sight of retreating gray butt that makes him do a double-take.] Where are your clothes?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-05 06:08 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	bythechainsword 2012-07-09 01:46 am UTC (link)
	[ALMOST THERE] [where the hell are Eridan's pants?] [Cain aborts all efforts to find the rest of his uniform in order to locate them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[After a little while of searching about, they finally find the rest of Eridan's wardrobe -- As well as his Ahab's Squirt Gun. However, his pants immediately get put on, for Cain's sake.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And finally, Cain can actually look at Eridan without feeling disgust.] [Well, without feeling MORE disgust than usual.] There we are. Now help me find my uniform. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-10 02:58 am UTC (link)
	[As if anyone would look upon Eridan with disgust! ... Okay, just about everyone would. As for Cain's uniform, well -- ] Oh, I saw that awhile ago. [While he was looking for his pants...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2012-07-10 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	And you didn't mention it? [And as soon as he says that, he changes his mind.] No, never mind, your clothes were more important. Do you remember where? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-11 03:20 am UTC (link)
	I was too busy lookin' for my own clothes at the time, but... Yeah, I remember where. [Heads over towards that area, only to immediately grab Cain's hat and put it on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eridan- [Cain sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.] [He starts digging through the clothes pile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caligulasaqua 2012-07-11 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	[While Cain does that, Eridan continues to wear the hat as if he hadn't done anything wrong in doing so.] I wonder if Caligula and my shiphive were brought over, too... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bythechainsword 2012-07-14 02:34 am UTC (link)
	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)

	bythechainsword 2012-07-21 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Of course, Eridan. (Reply to this) (Parent)
