Everyone, please be careful if you are still trying to travel for the holidays. It really doesn't look like this weather is letting up, plus it's... well, you all have seen the news, right?

I'm somewhat glad I mailed all my gifts out earlier, but I got a message from the post office saying the gifts will likely be delayed a few extra days, just from all the heavy weather. Eridan and I are staying in Cerulean for the time being, so please, nobody worry about us.

I also had a question, um.. is there such an item that makes it so a Pokemon doesn't evolve? Do you think, if it is real, that it is a good idea to use? Or is it wrong to make it impossible for a Pokemon to evolve?

Your name looks familiar, so I'm certain I've heard a little about you at least once before. It's nice to meet you!

From:

Yes
Well

I Had Hoped To Speak With You At This Holiday Gathering
But You Seem To Not Be Coming
So This Will Have To Do

From:

fairycircle

I'm sorry about that, haha! It just seems a little too dangerous to go anywhere until things have calmed down.

What did you want to talk with me about?

From:

wontturntostone

Uhm
Just A Moment Please

[There's a little pause before Kanaya appears on the screen, since this seems more...proper, somehow, when discussing something of this. A bit more fiddling and she is fairly certain no one else can see it. She gives a little somewhat awkward wave at the screen.]

Hi. It...concerns your choice is traveling companions.

From:

fairycircle

[Cheria returns the wave, looking genuinely curious until she speaks. Easily, she's letting out a small sigh and a half smile.]

This is about Eridan and things he's done in the past, isn't it.

From:

wontturntostone

Ah...well, yes. [She frowns faintly.] Of which I am probably the single most qualified person to speak, I think.

From:

fairycircle

Well, I've listened to Eridan and Karkat's sides of the story, but since I'm starting to remember that your name was one of the.. victims, I have no problem with hearing your side as well. [Her smile is quieting into concern.]

From:

wontturntostone

[She hesitates.] Yes. I was. He murdered me. It was only through a loophole in fate that I...was able to revive.

Feferi was not so lucky. She was his first victim, moments before me. Nor was there anything I could do to prevent him from dooming our race to extinction.

[Nodding, she heard about those incidents. It doesn't change that she looks sad that it happened, but these are things she promised to work past.] I certainly don't condone what his actions were. From what I could piece together between both his and Karkat's explanations, it's that he acted out of jealousy, for Feferi.

[For Kanaya and the matriorb thing? It was just bad.]

From:

wontturntostone

Yes, probably. She had broken up with him and was...establishing something with Sollux, I'm honestly not sure. [Kanaya sighs and shakes her head.]

He had no reason to do what he did to the Matriorb. Or me. He just did it. Because...

...

Because he's insane, I think. And...very, very dangerous.

From:

fairycircle

I.. well, from the little I've spoken with Sollux, I can understand why he was so jealous. He isn't exactly the nicest person, and egged him into a fight; that part is easy enough to see.

No, he certainly didn't have any good reason. He originally said it was out of self defense, but when Karkat explained what the Matriorb was, I don't blame you at all for leaping at him.

He may have been, but he isn't.. the same that he used to be, I'd like to say. Maybe it's being human, but Eridan has been doing better about getting into less verbal fights. It could also be from not being around the other trolls and humans from his universe, but it works. Training Pokemon is a very safe alternative to hurting people, as most of the Pokemon have enough sense to know right from wrong. [If anything, she's always there to keep him from, say, teaching his Gyarados to eat people.]

From:

wontturntostone

[Kanaya isn't really going to argue the semantics of what happened. Sollux was an ass and everyone knew it, but Eridan was the one who had killed two people. She's quiet for a little while, her gaze distant.]

Karkat said you're good for him. Maybe it's true. But...you need to be careful. The people he hurt...the people he killed...Feferi was the only one of us who ever really tried to keep him from getting...I don't know...worse. And I was the only one left on the meteor helping him.

And he killed us both. He lashed out at the people who were helping him. That's you now.

From:

fairycircle

[Nodding quietly, she simply thought on the words, soaking them in and understanding how much of a warning this is.]

I understand what you're doing, and I appreciate it. Thank you. I do want to give him the ability to change though.. because being this lonely is something I understand too. He wants friends, even if he thinks he's better than others, but I'd like to say I'm changing his mind about that. Even if it's only a little.

Your group are all fairly young still, and without any adults around to explain how things are supposed to go, just being expected to understand and work things out sounds ridiculous.

From:

wontturntostone

I...suppose. We have a whole romantic quadrant based around working things out. But how successful it is...

[She sighs. Kanaya didn't have the best luck in that respect.]

It doesn't matter.

[A little pause.]

I assume someone has explained to you what a Moirail is?
