Eridan stood in his hive, attempting to nurse a headache with whatever he could find. He really doubted this bottle of Faygo that Gamzee had given him a few weeks ago would be much help at all... He really should just go out and buy some medici-
Nope.
The distant rumbling and drone sirens wailing were going to cull those plans before he'd even finished his thought, weren't they? Lovely. Just what he needed to cure his headache: loud ass machinery and horrible horrible sirens. Not to mention the reminder that he was painfully single to add salty sea breezes to the wound.
Ugh. Fuck it. He might as well give up entirely and hide in his recuperacoon. It might muffle the sirens and rumbling drones. Also a nap could make his head hurt less. Yeah, that might work.
But just as he was about to start removing some of his accessories, he heard a pounding at his front door. What? The drones were miles away! This was probably some poor idiot thinking they could get away with hiding in a stranger's hive to avoid the drones and just happened to encounter his ship anchored close to shore.
Normally, Eridan wouldn't have bothered to even check, but something nagged in the back of his thinkpan that made him sigh and go peer out the curtain covering the window on the door.
He definitely wasn't expecting to see someone in a dark hoodie looking down at their feet, but when they lifted their head, he immediately recognized a familiar face.
"Oh fuck," Eridan murmured, quickly opening the door and dragging the half-soaked troll inside. "How- what- how did you-?"

Eridan stood on a familiar shoreline, looking out at the ocean. He looked up at Alternia's moons, sighing softly. It was strange being back here. In the same place where Fef had broken up with him six sweeps earlier.
He sat down on the sand, hugging his knees to his chest. Why did he come here? He knew it would just be miserable and cold and lonely. Would anyone even care if he just stayed here forever? Cod, he should be over this by now. But he felt so empty. So hopeless. So afraid of getting lost in the winds of fate and sailing off into even lonelier waters.
Suddenly, his fins bristled as he heard someone crunching across the sand towards him. Wiping at his face, having realized he had a few stray tears rolling down his cheeks, Eridan got up and turned to face whoever was approaching.
The last troll he expected to see just so happened to be standing in front of him.
"...what do you want..?" Eridan asked.

Eridan sighed, getting up from Sollux's computer and going over to look at himself in the mirror. Cod. Eww. Someone needed a fucking shower. But that involved being naked. In someone else's body. No thank you. He at least had the common sense not to do that.
Instead, he needed to get back to the book store where Sollux was (in his body) and find that book to see if it had any information on breaking body swap curses... Or maybe some other book that might have some usable information.
