[Darcy sits in front of her console and squints. Well. It's not Facebook but it's something. She leans back and relaxes her posture.]

Okay, so the idea of going to another world isn’t exactly new for me, but having it actually happen? Yeah, that’s pretty surprising. Man, Jane would flip if she knew about this! Also, the giant turtle thing? Crazy. But also pretty damn cool.

So anyway! Seeing as I’m stuck here for now, I should probably introduce myself. I’m Darcy: a severely underpaid intern who just earned her degree. Seriously, I didn’t even have time to celebrate before I turned up here. Looking forward to meeting all my turtle-neighbors, though. I don’t suppose this is some secret part of Asgard, is it? That’s the only other world I’m that familiar with.

Oh, and one more thing. I should probably ask this just in case: is there a Jane Foster or Erik Selvig here? Erik might be a little on the, erm, nutty side at the moment? Happens when you get an alien poking around in your head, I guess.

Thanks! See ya!

[Here you go, Darcy, have an alien staring right back at ya.]

I wouldn't exactly call this jumpin' worlds so much as leapin' into another plane of existence altogether.

[He pauses a moment, looking her over.]

You look human, so I'm guessin' you're from Earth? If so, what exactly is Asgard?

[Hey. An alien who actually looks...alien! She looks rather impressed.]

Yep. Earthling. That's me. Asgard is another world that a friend of mine is from.

[Yes, be impressed by him. He gets that a lot. ~~No he doesn't~~]

I don't remember seein' that planet in your solar system when I idly checked it out. And if I remember right, you humans were barely within' your rights a proper space trawel. I'm guessin' the inhabitants came to your undeweloped planet, then?

[This is Eridan's attempt at somewhat civil conversation. How'd he do?]

[Okay, less impressed now. Frowning even.]

We're still working on that, yeah.

It's fine. [He sounds so dismissive.]

Your race is still rather young, after all. It really shows with your primitiwe technology.

Mhm. Poor us. We're still like the caveman stumbling across fire. Or the wheel.

[All spoken with deadpan sarcasm.]

[Too bad sarcasm goes right over his head.]

Oh do giwe yourself SOME credit. Ewen a troll like me can be gracious enough to recognize what accomplishments, howewer petty, you hawe achiewed.

Anyway, you said your name was Darcy? I'm Eridan Ampora, Prince of Hope. [Just because he likes to sling his title around like it's important.]

[She's met a prince and he's a lot more impressive, sir.]

Right. And obviously being a prince of hope doesn't exactly prepare one with a sense of humor.

I'we got a great sense a humor. [No he doesn't, he hardly cracks a smile ever.]

But bein' the Prince of Hope has nothin' to do with humor, ain't so sure why you'd link the two.

You seemed pretty proud of it. I thought you'd enjoy it being brought up again.

[More sarcasm. Huzzah.]

Maybe humor was the wrong word. Sarcasm. That's the one.

I am proud of it, but bringin' it up so senselessly is pointless.

[A... pause.]

Well, whatewer. I don't think sarcasm is worth humorin' none, so I bloody choose not to. [Which is bullshit for 'I have a hard time distinguishing sarcasm over genuine statements so I'm going to pretend I purposefully dismiss the sarcasm, please don't catch on.']

Mhm.

[She looks doubtful.]

Well, let's just go with this: I don't exactly appreciate someone pointing out how lesser we are or how behind we might be. Especially since we're all kind of in the same mess here.

Oh did I hurt your feelin's pointin' out your inferiority? Seems like somethin' worth gettin' the fuck ower.

Look, Darc, we may be in this together, but that doesn't protect you from blatant truths.

Darcy.

And I guess that's fair enough. Considering it doesn't protect you from my knocking you on your ass someday.

I giwe eweryone nicknames, I suggest you deal with it, Darc.

[Oh look, a dry laugh. See! See he does have a sense of humor.]

Oh I'd like to see you try it, hag.

[Oh yeah. Hilarity.]

Patience, Flipper. [Oh ho. She can play this nickname game, too.]

Good things come to those who wait.

Flipper? [He almost sounds amused.]

Wery well, I suppose I can wait around for eternity then. Seein' as that's about as long as it'd take for you to be able to ewen scratch me.

Edited (icon??? dw I hate you sometimes) 2013-11-16 05:35 (UTC)

Yep. That's right. Just keep waiting and waiting.

Edited 2013-11-16 05:36 (UTC)

I am.

[He's really amused by this whole thing, because ha, what is a pathetic human going to do to him?]

Good.

[She'll find something if she can help it.]

I suggest you be clewer with whatewer you do, though. Because I ain't fragile like you humans.

[Look, he's even giving her tips! How thoughtful. Though, honestly, that just goes to show how much of a threat he doesn't consider her to be.]

[She's just going to keep the fact that she tasered a god to herself for now.]

Gosh, and here I was thinking I'd just try and tie your shoelaces together.

I wouldn't be surprised by such a infantile attempt.

[A taser would definitely work. He's a teenaged troll, after all, and no where near being a god.]

Edited 2013-11-16 05:49 (UTC)

I'll just have to step it up to random water balloons I guess.

Water balloons? On a seadweller? How dastardly. [And while Eridan sucks at detecting sarcasm, he does use it. Sometimes.]
