*holds stack of containers*

< i know your kind have something against certain carrying receptacles so here use these plasket boxes and help me carry some water to these fires 3<

*he would be more worried but it turns out eridan is shitty at setting fires and most of them can be put out with minimal effort and property damage*

*takes a box and empties it over the fire*

*does the same*

*soon the fires are mostly out*

< well kid 3<

*Ms. Paint walks by the edge of the oasis. spying what seems to be a farm in the distance, she heads over, wondering who had the great idea to set such a thing up*

*ac giggles*

:33 < hey spades! someone is here to s33 you! ima go s33 if fef has those fish you want

*leaves*

*notices paint*

< uh 3<

< hi 3<

((are we doing this as if we have already met? i would like to know so i know how to react))

((Which do you think would be better? Never met, or Haven't seen each other forever?))

((up to you really))

((i guess there could be the awkward 'i just met you but i like you already' or the 'good to see you again' unless you do not ship paint/slick))

((like i said, your choice))

((I'll go with haven't seen you in forever))

*MP's eyes widen*

c[ ...Slick? Is that you? ]

((ok cool))

< yeah it is! paint! how are you doing? 3<

*standing nervously a bit because he has no idea if he should run up and hug her or not*

*MP runs over to him and looks like she want to throw her arms around him, but does not.*

c[ I'M a bit confused about where I aM actually. I had just decided to take a walk by the water when I saw this farm. I didn't think it would belong to you though. ]

< yeah a lot happened since we last saw each other paint 3<

< this is the midnight city 3<

< my city 3<

< well, it used to be, before i quit the crew 3<

< now i farm 3<

*swallows and then grabs a hold of paint, pulling her into a hug*

< missed you paint 3<

*Paint smiles*

c[ I Missed you too. But, What haPPened? Why did you quit your crew? ]

< because 3<

*sighs*

< i did so much wrong in the war 3<

< even more when i stopped that and became part of the crew 3<

< it just 3<

*sighs*

< grew too much 3<

*MP looks even more confused, but decides to just shake it off*

c[ Well, I really like your farm. How long have you been working on it? ]

< oh this? 3<

< not too long 3<

< as you can see i still have some plots to put up 3<

< and finface blew up one of my plots and tried to burn my new home, which as you can see he failed at miserably 3<

< that young troll, nepeta i think her name was, helped me with the green houses 3<

< want me to show you around? 3<

*he says, letting go of her and taking a hold of her hand with a lopsided, tired, grin*
