[Boxes. Boxes! So many boxes.

Gamzee knows how these boxes got here --miracles!-- and for what reason --mating! cause that is what all animals on tv do when they come together in large groups which clearly means that in a few weeks they will hear the pitter-patter of little matchboxes-- but he has no idea what he is doing. Well. He is building. Duh. But he has no idea what it will be. He figures the boxes will just let him know once he is done building. So far he's got a stack of boxes put together in the centre and the starts of a haphazard wall surrounding them. Could be anything really.

But it is totally a boxfort.]

[Psiioniic, even Darkleer knows you are missing the point, but that is okay. He just keeps smiling and maybe ducks his head slightly before straightening again.]

Perhaps you would like to demonstrate how to build a better fort using just these basic items, then? I could assist, if you'd like.

I would not dethire to detract from... their unthkilled enjoyment.

[ He isn't missing it entirely! It just bothers him that there is so much ineptitude occurring. That structure looks like it could collapse in a stiff breeze-- which is very much a real possibility.

But, then again, they were just boxes.

He has no idea why this is bugging him quite so much as it is. ]

You do not have to distract them. We could simply lead by example on our own. Perhaps seeing how to do it properly would inspire them to follow.

If nothing else, it could serve as a decent distraction.

[Spoiler: ]

[Neither of those reasons are his true motives for doing this.]

[p2iioniicii2t]

That... yeth, that would not. If one were to take care to not interrupt their work.

[ He finally sets down on the ground, standing on his own and without psionics. It's rather pointless, but he tries when he's with Darkleer. ]

Obthervathional learning ith often utheful.

[aim_exorable]

Exactly.

[Seeing that will to try- at least around him, even if no one else- makes Darkleer's ears twitch and has him run a hand through his hair before he offers it to Psiioniic.]

Where shall we start, then?

[p2iioniicii2t]

[ He's a little more steady if he's hand-in-hand with Darkleer, and it might not just be from a purely physical standpoint. His usual anxieties, particularly pertaining to actually doing things where, say, people can see him are somewhat tamed. ]

Dethign?

[aim_exorable]

We should keep it simple. There's only so much we can do with the materials at hand and I don't believe we should get... too creative lest it spiral out of our control. We can simply improve on the designs they're attempting to make.

[p2iioniicii2t]

A cuboid thtructure capable of a two perthon capathity? Thingle arched entranthe?

[ It was, more or less, what Gamzee was attempting. He's fairly sure, anyway.

Okay, not particularly. ]

[aim_exorable]

[Something like that. It'll do for now.]

That sounds about right. That way it will be familiar for them.
