[open] the caring and keeping of trollish sentiment
Who: Eridan Ampora and you!
What: Someone is acting TOTALLY NORMAL about a DUMB HUMAN HOLIDAY.
When: February, thru Valentine's Day
Where: The cabin hallway, Mikabo, and the promenade
Warnings: None so far, will update if necessary
Notes: Eridan's mostly active from 4pm to 5am. there's a 50/50 chance he'll decide to simp over your character regardless of who they are... tis the season!
1a. [Cabin 160] the art of exterior decorating
[Eridan opens his door one evening early in February and walks right into a smattering of chintzy paper hearts and glittery red streamer. the first few seconds of flailing are a trigger response to feeling something almost but not entirely like the Bahanamal touch his head. the next few minutes are a more purposeful tantrum as he furiously rips the cheap decor down, complete with meticulously tearing up a heart and then stomping on the remains. he glares around the hall, but he doesn't know anyone well enough for them to pull this kind of miserable stunt on him. nobody here even knows about his painfully scorned love life except for Karkat and Nepeta, and neither of them hate him this much.
that doesn't stop him from giving anyone nearby an absolutely devestating stink-eye as he destroys more Valentine's decor. Yeah, you over there, eyeballing him, he sees you! If you had anything to do with this, you better fess the fuck up or mind your own goddamn business!!!]
2. [Mikabo] the art of custom sushi rolls
[he thinks he's safe when he makes it all the way up to the Promenade without seeing any massive displays of hearts or other flushed symbolism. there are a few places with familiar hearts plastered to the wall and stuff like that, but nothing on the level of his own door.
unfortunately, he's quickly reminded of the situation as he sits down for breakfast/dinner and is met with a rotating selection of HEART-SHAPED SUSHI, many covered with an UNIDENTIFIED PINK SAUCE. the normal options are few and far between, and even the sashimi comes out curled into heart shapes around lumps of wasabi.
it turns out that the PINK SAUCE is actually just mayonnaise with color added to it, but still. weird..
he stares at whoever enters while he's there, as usual, but he's decidedly not accusatory when he asks:] Just wwhat the fuck is goin' on, here?!
1b. [Cabin 160] the art of investigating a crime
[it seems like no matter what Eridan decides to do, he's destined to return to a door decorated in flush red hearts and pale pink diamonds. (they're actually just badly shaped stars, but nobody tell him, he's having a moment.) he tears everything down with the same vigor the first few times, but that doesn't seem to stop the paper flowers and glossy plastic streamers from adorning the frame. now that the anger and outrage have given way to confusion, he's not tearing things apart so much as he is carefully examining each piece as he removes it.
he doesn't seem to notice if anyone's watching this time around, mostly because he is deeply dedicated to his new human holiday research. it's fucking weird, is what he's getting.] Wwhat do angels havve to do wwith matespritship? And the mortal wwounds... wwhat does that mean?
3. [All Over] the art of cultural osmosis
[this investigation eventually expands from his cabin to the ship as a whole. there's a non-zero chance that you might encounter him staring critically at a random Valentine's day arrangement, as if trying to analyze a particularly obscure bit of modern art. he treats them as if they're up for grabs, and occasionally plucks one off the walls -- usually ones with pictures of cartoon fish with shitty slogans like "I REELY like you" or "It's o-FISH-al, I'm HOOKED on you!"
(look, being fish-themed is a full-time gig!)]
[wildcard] the art of making shit up as we go
(throw whatever you want at the fishboy, or hmu for plotting!!!)

What do you think is going on, asswipe? [ He rolls his eyes, because the fact that Eridan obviously isn't human doesn't make him think twice about the fact that he might not know what Valentine's Day is. ] It's fucking Valentine's Day.
[ A holiday that Vance usually despises, but this time he has a girlfriend so he has to at least pretend not to gag at heart-shaped decorations. ]
no subject
[that's the second time so far that someone's suggested he should know what the fuck is going on around here, and he doesn't appreciate it one bit!!
forget that beautiful hair and attractively surly demeanor!]Howw does that havve anythin' to do wwith bad sushi?! Wwhat does that evven mean!
no subject
[ And Vance is not a fan of it. Thanks, St. Valentine. ]
no subject
ugh, that's a stretch by anyone's standards. he's definitely not saying that pun aloud to anyone, ever.]
So wwhat, it's some kinda yearly reminder that if you don't havve at least one quality relationship, you're doomed to be culled wwith the rest of the affectionless flotsam? Ugh. Humans are so fuckin' wweird.
no subject
That's the gist of it, yeah. But afterwards comes Anti-Valentine's Day where the affectionless flotsam get to beat everyone else with a stick.
no subject
on the internetin Mikabo and tell lies??]Wwait, really?? [okay that actually sounds cool.] Do you get to keep the stick?
[look he is desperately trying to accumulate any and all weapons he can. it'll go great right next to the hatchet he has, plus the arrows without a bow...]
no subject
[ If this were a real holiday, Vance would like it. Except for the fact that he has a girlfriend now, but before that he would have been the absolute terror of Anti-Valentine's Day. ]
no subject
Good. Sick and tired of armin' myself literally.
[he gives an example by -- oh, he's just holding a beat-up mannequin arm now. it's got some purple and red splotches on it, that's weird! hopefully Vile got a good chuckle out of being threatened with that.]
no subject
[ He looks down at Eridan's hands. ] Or, uh, maybe stick with the arm.
no subject
I guess it's only fair to keep usin' a wweapon I'm not proficient in. Givves people a fightin' chance. [super idly, SOOOOO COOL AND CASUAL,] Plus, wwouldn't wwanna risk some loser's blood gettin' all ovver my rings.
no subject
[ And he's being generous by saying cooler, because he doesn't actually find them very cool. ]
You have a lot of fighting experience?
no subject
Hah. Yeah, obvviously. You are talkin' to one of Alternia's top FLARP player. Pretty much had a 100% wwin rate. And wwhenevver I let Mindfang join me, wwe'd swweep the entire game. Poor saps nevver had a chance against us.
[you know, because everyone is familiar with an overly-complicated extreme roleplaying game from an alien planet.]
no subject
[ Not really but in his heart, he believes it. ]
What the fuck is FLARP?
