[akito]

Um... This is somewhat of a... strange and unfortunate situation... [ The voice that comes out is soft, feminine, and hesitant. Being without Agito is bad enough - being without Agito in what seems to be another universe is even worse.

He takes a deep breath and speaks again with more strength to his tone. ]

Waking up naked in a bath surrounded by a bunch of weird people isn't the best morning, ne? [ an awkward laugh goes here because he doesn't know what else to do. ] If they wanted someone who could fight evil they definitely picked the wrong person!

But I guess if they had to pick someone out of my friends, I'm glad they chose the least important one of us. [ he makes sure to say this very pointedly, in case the person who stole him away is listening and might realize their mistake. ] After all, I'm not one of the Kings or Queens anymore!

[ some more giggling. it's really hard not to panic. but he's trying hard not to panic. he is doing a bad job of not panicking but at least he's trying his best, right? once his giggling dies down his voice settles back into something more hesitant. ]

So, ah... I guess I need... Shoes? Does anyone know where I could get some sneakers? And maybe something to eat, too?

[Do you hear that sudden, indignant draw in of breath? Cuz that was a thing. Too bad this is audio, because he's puffing up rather butthurt like.]

Well then I don't see why you hawen't outright stopped. That is, if you'we found those you wrongfully deign as more important.

[There's even a little huff at the end of that.]

[puppetfetish]

See, you're not low on my totem pole. Not great either.
You're so-so on the stalking totem pole.
Only so-so.
Like lukewarm water. Not hot or cold.
Or a decent haircut. Not completely shaved off but not something really fashionable either.
That's how I see it.
That's why I'm still watching you.

audio;

[unconchonable]

Well you should stop altogether. I didn't ask for your fuckin' opinion on me either. So, just.

Fuck off.

[Gosh Bro, if you're gonna stalk him, at least make him feel flattered??? Eridan that's some fucked up and dumb standards towards stalkers....]
