♒ 5th VIDEO

[Maybe it's in bad taste. Maybe it's in bad taste and Eridan really does not give a shit. He's heard the news, and is delighted by it, to be perfectly honest. She was nothing but a disrespectful cur, and the news of her death has left him elated to say the least. When the feed turns on, he's sipping a hot cup of tea (pinky extended), of what type is anyone's guess, but he looks amused as ever.]

I say the bitch got what was comin' to her.

[He takes another long sip. He feels no need to disclose who, when it's probably obvious to anyone with a working think pan.]

Just goes to show that maybe there is some modicum a justice in this place.

If you hadn't a made all those false promises to me, I wouldn't hawe picked a fight. You were the one who contacted me first and fuckin' foremost, stupid.

[Bitch please, Gene may think himself flawless, but Eridan is dah bess.]

There ain't nothin' weird about hatecrushes or proper riwalries. Your pathetic platonic one probably can't ewen qualify as one, honestly.

WHAT false promises?! I'd never seen you before you got in my face on the street!

[~~Who said his rivalry was a platonic one, Eridan?~~ He raises an eyebrow skeptically.]

Is that supposed to offend me? Good! I'm glad! I don't care if it qualifies under your bizarre standards!

The ones I fuckin' came to you about before we fuckin' fought. Look, you can stop the whole pretendin' we didn't speak before then, it's gettin' real fuckin' tirin'.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Of course you don't, 'cos you couldn't liwe up to those standards if your pathetic life depended upon it.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose. With an air of rapidly thinning patience:] We didn't speak. We never spoke. And if you keep insisting that we met before, you delusional, creepily obsessive jackass, I will snap your horns clean off and shove them somewhere you would not enjoy.

[He doesn't even deign to respond to the second part, but have his best haughty ~~Targaryen~~ True Khan (TM) glare of disdain.]

I ain't fuckin' lyin' you grubfucker. I ain't obsessiwe either, ewery time, minus the one time in person, it's been you contactin' me. Don't see how that makes me the obsessiwe one. You're the one constantly bombardin' me with your dumb human flirtin'.

[He ain't even bothered by the threat or glaring.]

You couldn't lay one hand on either a my attractiwe horns, so don't try to pretend otherwise.

You want to make your case? Prove I promised you a damn thing.

How many times do I have to tell you that I do not dislike you in a romantic way? Jesus Christ!

It's on the fuckin' network, dunno if these pieces a shit archiwe that shit or not. If they do, I suggest lookin' back to around the time I showed up, you'll find all the fuckin' ewidence you need.

An' yet you keep doin' it. Look, I ain't interested in your human form a romantic riwalry, dipshit. So, seriously, just stop.

[Loki is satan, this is suffering!!]

And I'm not interested in your weird alien form of romantic rivalry! You stop!

[A likely story! And yet...the freaky fish guy can't be that delusional. Nobody could be that delusional. Not unless they'd had a little help.

A suspicion stirs.

Deadpan:] Let me put you on hold.

[And before Eridan can say boo, Gene's got him on hold. Complete with elevator music, no less.]

[Gene pages through the network archives of Eridan's first post, and his stomach leaps into his throat when he sees his face. He had no memory of this, and those were not things he would say.

Luckily for Gene, he knows a bit about computers, and the consoles, and he ~~backtraces the IP~~ looks at the location stamp.

Then he looks at the location stamp on his conversation with Eridan.

They are not the same.

On a suspicion, he checks a certain trickster's location stamp, a certain trickster who's good with illusions. And wouldn't you know it...they're identical.

Betrayal! Perfidy! Musical cues!

He takes Eridan off of hold, and he's laughing. His chin is tucked into his chest and his eyes are closed and it's a laughter tinged slightly with madness. It is not laughter that in any way indicates amusement. Eridan might want to be worried.]

I'm going to kill him, [Gene mutters, still laughing. Then he looks up at the camera. And grins. Showing teeth. This also does not indicate amusement. It's the kind of grin a chimpanzee shows when it's warning you that these nice shiny teeth will bite off your face if you don't step off but quick.] It appears we've both been deceived.

[Eridan just gives him a flat look when he tells him to stop. HE IS STOPPING, HE HAS NO INTENTION TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER, AUGH STUPID HUMANS AND THEIR RETARDED MEANS OF FLIRTING...]

[However, when he says he's going to put him on hold he opens his mouth to say something--]

[--but is then greeted with ugly music that's pretty fucking annoying. Well then, just going to... mute his console for a bit. Yep.]

[Meanwhile, as Gene goes and does his detective work, Eridan is just drumming his fingers on the desk, maybe messing with an idle pen or two, twirling them between his fingers before he accidentally launches them across the room. He turns in his seat to watch it land somewhere off to the side...]

[KANYE SHRUG. By the time Gene gets back, Eridan has settled on cleaning his nails, looking bored as ever. He really. Is the most impatient. Ever. The moment Gene appears on his screen again, he unmutes it, his eyes narrowing at how Gene's acting, that laugh, that exclamation. It's enough to rile Eridan, especially with the news of being deceived.]

Really. An' who is responsible a this apparent deceiwin'? [He doesn't sound completely convinced! But he isn't denying it outright. He's half convinced this is just a ploy for Gene to backpeddle on all his flirting, BUT HE'LL GIVE HIM A CHANCE.]

[Gene's still grinning in that slightly scary way.]

Since you've been here, have you spoken with someone named Loki? Wears a lot of green and a stupid-looking cowl, talks like he stepped out of Lord of the Rings half the time. [Gene, honey, you are not one to talk about fashion choices. Or unnecessary pageantry.] One of the things he really enjoys doing is illusion magic. Look at the metadata on this conversation and the first time we supposedly interacted. The location's different. It coincides with Loki's suite.

Edited 2013-12-24 04:01 (UTC)

Yeah I hawe. [NO IDEA WHAT LORD OF THE RINGS IS, but sure, he knows who he is talking about. However, illusions? Sounds like some fakey fake magic, if he ever heard of any.]

...does he now? [He sounds skeptical, mainly because he doesn't believe in such bullshit, but whatever.]

This better not be some elaborate means a backpedalin' outta your adwances. [A flat stare] Anyway, gimme a second as I look at this.

[Okay.. metadata... yes, he can. do this? He's not an idiot with computers like some of his former companions ~~Kanaya~~ but he's not exactly the... savviest at them either. But he is able to find it, and well, that certainly is a different location. He scowls, full on growling:]

Fuckin' worthless piece a trash. [HE MAD] I'm gonna make him pay for this.

[HOW DARE HE MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME!!!]

[Gene scoffs at the idea of trying to backpedal on any supposed "advances".] Please. If I'm going to do something, I commit to it. [Up to and including kidnapping and murder and betraying your friends! Yaaaay!

Aaannnddd it looks like Eridan found the discrepancy. Gene still looks murderously amused.]

You're going to have to get in line.

[Getting in orderly queues to beat the shit out of Loki Laufeyson is a universal constant, it seems.]

Or.

[He pauses, considering a moment.]

We could be in cahoots. Why wait, when we can both giwe him his much deserwed comeuppance at the same time?

[Cahoots, you say? Hmm. While he'd much rather kick Loki's ass on his own, this could be fun.]

Teaming up's not really my style, but I could make an exception.

I only do it under certain circumstance, and I feel this meets that rather well.

[Besides, if he gets Gene on his side, there's a little wiggle room to lodge a carefully aimed dagger into his flank if he ever feels the need, of course, after Loki's been dealt with. Win win tbh.]

[Ahahaha Eridan u presh. Like you're the only one thinking about potential future backstabbing. Gene backstabs so much Brutus is like "damn son calm down". It's almost like he's a troll himself.]

I'll take it into consideration.

It would be fun, though. And he probably wouldn't be expecting it.
