SIXTEEN ♋

[selfhatred]

[There's a few inkblots.]

IS THERE ANYONE NEARBY THAT COULD HELP ME GET TO SOME WATER?
I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG MERPEOPLE CAN LAST OUT ON LAND.
...
I MIGHT NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS MERMISH TOO.


THIS ENTIRE WEEK JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, DOESN'T IT?

[Eridan was able to catch the sound of the wheeze and he recognized that it wasn't just some frustrated groan of sorts. He was currently a bit curious to how he was going to end up carrying him from that side, but he had an idea... and then Dave spoke. Ah. Yeah... Right about now he's leaving the spellcasting to someone that isn't plagued with two speech impediments right now, but he's all game for the options.

Though he realizes that Karkat can't actually talk, so he realizes how to compromise this situation.]

You got a point there, what do you wanna do, Kar? One threech for "jutht take me already" or two for "gimmy a quick dip wia magic". Jutht... Don't make them really long threecheth, we don't hawe time for that.

[To be truthful, Karkat had tried using aguamenti on himself before they got there, but because mermish didn't work really well with spell casting, it had been a bit useless. His face flushed at Dave calling him Ariel, but he complied with Eridan's suggestion, screeching twice in a high pitched shrill. It was better than nothing, and who knew it might help.]

Right. Hope your body's ready, Karkat.

[He takes out his wand and aims it at Karkat.]

Aguamenti!

[Water jets out of the tip of his wand and Dave, immature douche that he is, immediately holds it at crotch level, making sure not to spray Karkat directly because he doesn't want to hurt him. He's not sure where he should be aiming, so he just sort of. Soaks him. Immediately, the skin takes on a texture that looks more shiny and scaly in places, more like rubbery dolphin skin in others, and more like seaweed at the fringes.]
