The dream starts off simply enough, with the figure of a glowering

forevveraglub standing with arms crossed. The scenery around him is indistinct, perhaps a field or a forest.

rainbowpalette, a girl, is standing in front of him. Neither one looks happy, but the girl is particularly upset. Eridan snaps something at Kanaya, who looks like she's almost in tears.

For a moment, the dream fuzzes and goes out of focus and...

You know what? This sort of dream is best represented with a series of horribly drawn MSPaint pics~

THREATEN THREATEN THREATEN

Lloyd leans forward, smiling at Kanaya as he holds her protectively. "Don't worry," he says. "I don't care what Eridan says about the future. I'll make sure it never happens."

"Thank you, Lloyd." Kanaya smiles back, arms around his neck. "You're a really good friend."

And watching them draw close, seeing how happy they are, the only thing Eridan can do is sob. If only he'd been nicer to his friend, that could have been him in her arms!

[Ugh, dammit, what a thing to wake up to. As far as Lloyd's concerned, that had been a nice dream. Would have been better without Eridan at all, but can't always have everything. Dream Eridan had at least been better than reality.

Lloyd rolls over in his bed and picks his Dreamberry up, rubbing his eyes and giving the troll a sleep-blurred glare.]

She's my friend. What do you care?

She's my moirail. A course I care. Especially if bad company has their greedy little wision receptors on her.

[He's basically growling this at you Lloyd.]

[If Eridan thinks growling at Lloyd is going to intimidate him, he doesn't know Lloyd at all. Lloyd just responds with a flat glare back.]

You think I'm bad company? I'm not the one who wants to kill her!

You're the worst kinda compa--

--WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?

[OH NO YOU DIDN'T LLOYD!]

Who the FUCK ewer SAID I wanted to KILL HER? She's my GODDAMN moirail you FUCKN' IDIOT! I don't want her to fuckin' die! Are you THAT mentally deficient? I know you're kinda autistic, but this is fuckin' RIDICULOUS!

[Oooh, no. Lloyd isn't about to let you deny what you said now.]

If you really cared about her, you wouldn't just sit there and do nothing to keep yourself from killing her in the future! If you didn't want her to die, you'd do everything to stop it from happening!

... Redscarf, you're obwiously not familiar with time shenanigans and I don't see how me expalinin' it will ewen help this misunderstandin'.

[A groan of aggravation.]

I don't ewen actually BELIEWE it myself. I was just throwin' it around before to fuckin' piss you off--I'd newer kill Kan, it'd be fuckin' unconscionable. She's my friend and my moirail, idiot.

[Lloyd's eyebrows drop into a glower.]

You shouldn't joke around about things like that. Why should I even believe you? You've been nothing but a jerk since the day I met you, and you've never been nice to Kanaya.

Newer?

I'we newer been nice to Kan. So you know about our friendship on Alternia? Or our time in sgrub? How about the days before I met you, or the ones in between where you weren't FUCKIN' present? Are you stalkin' me Lloyd, is that what this is?

Edited 2011-08-11 23:41 (UTC)

It shouldn't matter whether I'm there or not, or anyone else you know! I've never seen you be nice to Kanaya once! What kind of friend are you if you treat her like dirt just because someone you don't like is there!

I don't hawe to explain myself to you.

Yeah, well, I don't have to stop being friends with Kanaya, either.

Yes. You do.

Says who?

Says ME, and I'm the one who fuckin' matters in this. Gotta look out for my moirail and such, especially when CREEPS are on her trail.

I'm not a creep, you jerk, and you're not the one who gets to decide who Kanaya's friends are! She can decide that for herself!

As her moirail, I'm rewokin' your guys' friendship.

[Eridan it doesn't... work like... that...]

And as her friend, I'm going to keep being her friend, no matter what you say.

[Nope, Lloyd isn't going to buy that At. All.]

GOD DAMNIT YOU'RE SO FUCKIN' IRRITATIN'! You keep sayin' you're her friend, but I know what you're feelin' isn't so innocent!

I know ruddy feelin's when I see them! So, stop tryin' to be coy about it, sayin' shit like 'as her friend', cuz that's a crock a fuckin' POPPYCOCK if I ewer heard it!

I'm onto you, Redscarf. Stay away from Kan.

What? What are you talking about? Kanaya is my friend, and this has nothing to do with dogs!

Wha--

What. I'm not talkin' about no fuckin' woofbeast!

Edited 2011-08-12 00:31 (UTC)

Yes, you are. You said this is like a pot full of puppy private parts.

[You are so vulgar, Eridan.]

.... I said POPPYcock not PUPPYcock. God you honestly need to fuckin' clean your goddamn auricular sponge clots!

REGARDLESS. This isn't the point, the point is I'm onto your red leanin's and don't think I'm not! This dream was proof enough a that!

... [He isn't certain he wants to know this, but...] What's "poppycock" mean?

[Ugh, Eridan, now you're just making excuses up, and they don't even make any sense!] I've had "red leanings" since a long time before that dream. Red's always been my favorite, and that's not going to stop, either! What does that even have to do with this?
