Status: Closed.


[All in all, Gamzee is pretty damn down with this curse. Seems like everybody is finding their mirth in it and shit, how could he be harsh at it when it gave him such chill digs? Seriously. Comfiest jammies ever. And that codpiece. Nobody could deny the glory of that jutting bulbuous form. Or the honks it made when you squeezed it. Just perfect.

Of course, it ain't all chillness and miracles in the air. Been two years since that date. Two years since he ended up sober and put the fear of clowns into a bunch of his good bros. Not a good thing to remember, so he generally doesn't. Oh, he tried to be good, took his slime every time his best bro reminded him to like a proper clown, but beyond that he didn't try to dwell too much on it. That didn't undo what was done. Better to just focus on the positives here. And it had all turned okay in the end, right? He had gotten Wataru out of it first, then Karkat later. He had learned to be a better motherfucker, made his peace with all his bros again. Yeah, focusing on the positives was good.

Like right now. He and Karkat were gonna spend the day and grab some grub together, hang out and remember what good stuff there was too even if life had had hella dark times too.

Oh, and Gamzee was gonna show him his codpiece cause seriously look at this thing it was perfect.]

[Two years ago, Gamzee went on a rampage and Karkat killed him to stop it. Some months later, a brief return to the meteor saw the rampage happen a different way - and his own stop to it through pale action. It took a while for things to line up back in Vatheon, with Karkat having been pale with Eridan the first time around, and when he went back, but they all sorted out eventually. Since then, things are as under control as they're going to be. Life is pretty peaceful, most of the time.]

[And it's good, really, to be glad for that. That's part of why he and Gamzee have decided to take this day easy. Nothing fancy, just two pale bros hanging out, appreciating life and the good it has. How things are better than they were those times. Karkat has put all quests on hold for this day, too; this takes precedence.]

[He's quick to answer the door when his moirail shows up. He's actually got his hat on today despite hating the thing; he's given up on fighting to keep it off, since it just finds a way back in the end. Besides, that's not really important given what's presented on his doorstep now.]


Is that a fucking codpiece?

[Karkat gapes.]

Why in awful Faygo hell would you wear something like that? Please tell me that's not supposed to be a god tier outfit. The rest looks like something a very deranged two-sweep-old would make, but why do you have to have that sticking out of your crotch, too? That's not appropriate date attire. That's not appropriate for anything, ever, in all existence.

Oh my god, why?

[Karkat says this as he back up, taking a few large steps back into his hive.]

You don't just grab your awful crotch bulge in public, you shameless freak. Keep your hand off that! And why in the name of all sense and decorum would I ever want to fondle that? One, you're my moirail. Two, never in my life would I want to fondle such an awful garment even on a concupiscent quadrantmate. Three, that thing deserves to be burned in a fire. Why there is a fucking horn in it? Did you put one in there? Please tell me that thing isn't physically attached to your pants.

Augh!

[Karkat flails his arms up, shielding his eyes as Gamzee fishes around with his awful codpiece. Why this.]

Just take the damn thing off, you huge honking asswipe. Take it off and keep it away from me and don't even bring it up again. I want it gone or I'm not leaving for anything. I will officially cancel this date with no regrets for the bulgeless mercy it will grant me.

[NO HE SHOULDN'T WHEN DID THEY EVER COME UP BEFORE, GOD WHY]

[Karkat's life is suffering. Or, okay, this is actually about a million times better than that day two years ago, but it's still awful. He eyes Gamzee as he approaches, looking from hands to face as he speaks.]


It's not a hood, it's a hat. A really stupid looking hat, the point of which I could not extract with surgical tools and an electron micro--

WHY IS IT TOUCHING ME?!

[Karkat shoves, turns as if to flee, and trips over his own leg in his haste. Unless Gamzee somehow reacts fast enough, Karkat's going to fall right on his own face.]

[Whump.]

This is your fault.

[He's not moving. His voice is a little muffled, but still intelligible.]

Take the goddamn codpiece off and keep it away from me. Until then I'm just going to lay here, contemplating my life and every decision that has led me to this moment.

[Karkat stays laying there. He doesn't want to observe the process, even on accident, and there are shards of shame scattered amongst the carpet yet. Perhaps he can reabsorb them through osmosis. It's a far hope, but it doesn't stop him.]

[Gamzee crouching down as he does promptly ruins that chance.]


Keep your hand: it has touched plush, honking crotch bulge and I will not soil my mind further by indirect exposure.

[He shoves up with flat palms, clambers to his feet, and straightens what he can of his too many layers.]

From now on the topic is dead and buried. It is a putrefying corpse and may none mourn its passing, for the world is done a service now that it's gone. Pick a new subject, one that doesn't make me want to gouge my ganderbulbs out of my skull.

[What's a bard without an instrument? Karkat blinks as Gamzee retrieves his.]

Is that a ukulele? Do you even know how to play?

[Whether he can play decently is probably asking too much.]

[Karkat frowns. It's not cringe-worthy if it's just a strum.]

I don't know whether to be glad or not. This way I'll be spared what songs you might try to come up with, but you can't even call that hand flapping music.
