Status: And onlookers. So closed.


[Sometimes all what a guy needs is a good moment to find himself, find some rest after the day's hard work, relax and let the worries slide off his back and--

yeah, okay, Gamzee basically just got really chill walking around Vatheon and dumped his ass down some place nice and quiet. He's got his back to a wall of a building, his arms folded behind his head as he sighs content. He's not really aiming for a nap here, but just a few minutes of letting his thoughts bounce around in his skull, listening to all the noise always present in Vatheon, and just getting really deep into the chill zone? Yeah, that was always welcome.

Surely nothing can break this spell of peace and relaxation. Absolutely nothing at all.]

[ Chibiusa had been trying very hard to befriend the big strange bird that she'd met just yesterday, and she'd already been making quite a bit of progress. That's what has her on the roof of a low set building, cajoling and pleading and trying to bribe what was an ultimately lazy and (usually) mellow bird into action. ]

Ohhh, come on!

[ She's tugging on a ribbon she'd tied around his neck, huffing as her feet slip a little on the shingles. ]

You have to come dow---- whoa!

[ Marshmellow probably shouldn't have tried to get to his feet right then, because that's about when they go overboard with a yelp and a startled kweh respectively. In a flutter of feathers and wailing, the two come down off the rooftop with Chibiusa clinging tight. ]

[420]

[Well, luckily there is something there to cushion Chibiusa's fall. Unluckily, it is pretty much a bag-of-bones clown, that honks startlingly loud when she suddenly drops down on top of him, wheezing a little. Damnit, those were his ribs.

At least the chocobo missed him, and landed safely next to him. That probably would've been too much weight for him to bear.]

Oww, fuck.

[pinksugarprincess]

Owieeeee, Marshmelloooow...

[ At least something broke her fall! And thankfully for Gamzee, she's really terribly tiny. It takes a moment of rubbing her face and reorienting herself to realize that she had not fallen into a pile of horns.

Nope, she had landed on a troll. ]

Oh no! Are you okay?

[420]

[He wheezes a little, but he is still in one piece!]

I'm cool, I'm cool.

[He just needs some air back in his lungs. And to thank his lucky stars she didn't land anywhere more sensitive.]

[pinksugarprincess]

I didn't break you? That's good. We were just arguing and we slipped but...

[ She still hasn't moved to get off of him as she pats him consolingly. She doesn't usually land on people, honest! ]

It's really all just because Marshmellow was being kind of difficult!

[ The accusation only gets a soft kweh in response, and the chocobo pokes at Gamzee with its beak. ]

[420]

[Gamzee laughs when he gets both a path and the chocobo pressing its beak against him.]

I'm cool. and fuck, these featherbros can get all sorts of fuckin' high-strung when they be wanting to.

[He reaches over to give Marshmellow a good petting though.]

They be cool though. Good bros when you are all have gotten to be getting to know them.

[pinksugarprincess]

You know what he is? I've never had a featherbro before, but...

[ She finally scoots off of the clown. Whoops. ]

He was all by himself and I was too, so we've been spending lots of time together.

[420]

Yeah, I got the know-how over these motherfuckers. Got us two of these lil' bros at home.

[Well, not so little anymore. Darkleer is pretty much sized like a feathered tank. And just as destructive.]

[pinksugarprincess]

Can I see? Can I?

[ Bounce, bounce, bounce. ]

And maybe, umm, you could show me how to take care of him? I really like him lots!

[420]

How about I all got about introducing you to my fuckin' babe? He knows way more about these featherbros than this brother does.

[Just gonna continue petting that chocobo. Damn it is cute.]

He can be kinda a grouchy motherfucker, but I promise ya, he ain't all that fuckin' bad once you get to be knowing him.

[pinksugarprincess]

I think I'd like that lots and lots! What's his name? Is he your boyfriend? Is he a troll too?

[ She's already scrambling to her feet, reaching over to hug Marshmellow. ]

I promise I'll try really hard to get along. I bet he's not really that grouchy.

[ For the love of god, Chibiusa, take a minute to stop talking. ]

[420]

Uuhh.

[Holy deluge of questions. Just... give him a moment!]

His name is Equius. And yeah, the brother be my boyfriend like you peeps all go like saying that. And yeah, he be a motherfuckin' troll like me.

[He is totally that grouchy though. But not as bad as his other boyfriend.]

omg I lost this tag somehow :o

[pinksugarprincess]

He sounds cool. Let's go, let's go, let's go!

[ She doesn't even know where she's going, but she'll tug on Gamzee. Come on, up and at 'em.

Meanwhile, Marshmellow settles down and just stares. ]

how dare you

[420]

He's real cool and smart.

[And Gamzee is real biased on his behalf.

He'll let her tug him up though and off. It isn't until they have already passed the turn to his house that he pauses and pulls his mind together long enough to tug her back a little a direct her down that path.]

i am the worst

[pinksugarprincess]

[ It takes a minute for the chocobo to figure out what it's doing with the two tugging and getting onto places, finally deciding it would try to nip at Chibiusa's pigtails the whole way there. ]

Do you know where we're going? 'Cause I really don't...

you are

[420]

My crib. Right this way.

[And it is right that way! Okay, that way is actually kinda the long way around and they could be getting there quicker with some short cuts, but whatever. Time is not of the essence here. Wandering is its own reward.]

[pinksugarprincess]

Huh? I thought we were going to your home or something!

[ ...why does a teenager have a crib? That's so weird.

And yet she doesn't stop tagging along. ]

[420]

Yeha, my hive.

[That is what he had said, right? Gosh. Some people were just hard of hearing.]

[pinksugarprincess]

[ (unsure)

But Chibiusa will just eye him with obvious suspicion, not entirely sure what's going on now. This is clearly a trollspeak issue, isn't it? Maybe. Well, she hopes so. ]

Ummm, okay, if you say so!

[420]

[Gamzee-speak issue. Those are even worse.

Still, he manages to guide her to a pretty calm, normal looking neighbourhood and a pretty normal, sensible looking house. The big stand out thing is the re-inforced front door with names engraved, but other than that, it looks like the kind of place anyone could live in.]

Tada! There we are at.

[pinksugarprincess]

[ Which really wasn't what she was expecting at all. She stares. ]

...it's not like a bee hive like I thought.

[420]

Bees? If you are all wanting bees, we gotta go visit one of my bros. He got tons.

[Weird that she is looking for bees though. Didn't they just get here for birds?]

[pinksugarprincess]

No, no! I mean, it looks like a normal house for people! I figured you guys lived in big bug hives or something...

[ She laughs, petting Marshmellow amiably. ]

Not- not that I'm disappointed! This is a lot better.

[420]

[He laughs]

Aww, nothing of the fuckin' sort, sister. Ain't in my understanding where you got a fuckin' thought all like that from but

[He pauses for a moment look at his house.]

It's be pretty fuckin' cool, wouldn't it be?

[pinksugarprincess]

[ She considers this with all due seriousness. ]

It'd probably be pretty sticky.
