♒ -- | [ You fucked up. ]

[ You brought a wiggler into the water, dropped her under the surface and expected her to find her way back. You nearly killed her. And then, when she got upset with you for doing so, you turned tail and left her alone. ]

[ You paced the streets for a few minutes, stepping through alley after winding alley, avoiding the eyes of others while you cursed yourself internally, over and over. Once you calmed down, it occurred to you how reckless it was to leave a little girl alone at the edge of unfamiliar territory, so you ran back to try and find her. But she was gone. ]

[ A few weeks have passed since then, and you find yourself slouched in the seat of a booth in a shitty, run-down diner in Sector 3. The ghetto. The food tastes godawful and you're pretty sure someone spiked your milkshake, because everything feels sort of dull and hazy and you've tuned out all the sound around you. ]

[ So when a small voice chirps your name from just over your shoulder, you don't even notice until she taps your shoulder. ]

ERIDAN: leavve me alone 

[ Your first inclination is to slap the hand away, but you realize how small and soft it is, how familiar. Your eyes widen, even before you turn to find the familiar bespectacled face, laced with concern. ]

30. Nothing Happens

"Well, looks like the test worked out after all! Good to know this sort of psychological test will work out later. Oh the wonders of what Reverse Psychology can do."

2. Handcuffs spring out of the box and attach our characters to one another.

“What the ever-loving hell?!”

Dedan was a bit caught back by the sight of the hand-cuffs just automatically chaining both Nautilus and himself together. After finally realizing what had happened, Dedan begins to try and break off the chains and release one another but to no avail.

“Oh for the love of fuck! Sigh, if only the scientists hadn’t tampered with my strength I wouldn’t be in this mess! Goddamn it when I get my hands on-”

Before Dedan could finish his sentence witch would no doubt end in a very detailed way of how he’d brutally kill the scientists, his eye wandered a bit to look at the girl he was cuffed to. She was rather small, and had these really big ears. Not to mention she was probably scared of Dedan by his appearance and demeanor. So he began to level with her for a bit.
