SWIMMINGGEDDON.

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc Donoghue and YOU
TONE: Fun, WHIMSICAL, horrifying
RATING: PG-13 and onward
WHEN: September 7th
WHERE:  The Lake.
WHAT:  After this Murdoc realised the children (and staff) of Hogwarts were in dire need of swimming lessons.
STATUS: Ongoing

[GATHER AROUND CHILDREN it's a warm summer day and the lake is perfect for diving into your sudden but inevitable deaths. You should all be dressed in your swimming trunks (which you clearly have don't even lie) because Murdoc sure is. He's determined to conduct this in the best manner he can, though he wasn't quite expecting the turn out to be so large. People who can swim are welcome to become his assistants because he could probably use the help.]

You haven't seen her for MONTHS, Eridan. It's the first week back, do not pull that on me.

[He shakes his head.]

I'm talkin' to her an' I'm talkin' to Sybi- Professor Matteris because one of you clearly has a problem. Or maybe both of you! [He throws his arms up in frustration before rubbing his face tiredly.]

[wwhatevver]

Just because I hawen't seen her in months doesn't mean that I still can't awoid her.

[He lowers himself down in the bed, crossing his arms and looking away.]

I cannot beliewe this crap.

[wwistful]

That implies that you had so little self restraint that you fought as soon as you laid eyes on each other.

[He steps forward toward the bed, perching on the edge of it.] If she's harrassin' you, I need to know.

[wwhatevver]

The only reason I fought back was because I wasn't just gonna let her beat on me.

[In which he turns away slightly.]

She's harassed me for the better part of four years. It's progressiwely gotten worse as the years passed, I'we told you this before.

[wwistful]

[He puts a man paw on his shoulder, changing his stern look for something sympathetic.]

I'll fix it.

[wwhatevver]

[He simply blinks at the man paw to his shoulder, happy that he's at least getting used to these things now. He seems to frown deeper as Murdoc told him that, wanting to just shout "noooo...". He didn't want to be known as the one who went to Daaaaaddy to fix all of his prooooblems~~~ He wanted to tell him that so fucking bad that he can handle it on his own.

But he holds that back, looking back away with a sort of pained look.]

... Thanks.

[wwistful]

[On some level, he knows that. He knows Eridan will feel like that, but he can't let this slide. If he doesn't handle it, he's letting his son get away with bad behaviour. If he does, he's babying him.

He can't win.]

I hope you know that means I'll be talking to Vriska.

[allisnotlost]

[Groan.]

Yes. Yes I know that.

[wwistful]

I'm glad you understand. [He reaches out to ruffle his hair.]
