♌ Leo gets techy with it - [OPEN]

[fundemetal]

who: Leo and Anyone
what: Programming the app mentioned here, but open to hanging out/chatting as well.
when: Every afternoon during curse week starting 5/21.
where: in the park underneath a shady tree
style: Starting with prose, but will change to match.
status: OPEN

Leo made his way into the park and picked out a large shady tree with a bench to sit under. If he was going to be spending all afternoon in one place it had to be somewhere comfortable and easy to be spotted in.

Buford was with him and he was using the sentient table to rest his SFC on so he could check for any messages while he waited for people to come get the app programmed in. He had no clue how many takers - if any - there would be, but he hoped that at least a few would be interested. He could really use the money to get some things from the Nostalgia Nook, especially some celestial bronze. He had a few projects lined up and couldn't get anywhere on them without some decent funding.

While he waited, he kept himself busy by fiddling around with some materials he'd gathered from the shopping district and from his magic tool belt. He built tiny machines and then took them apart again to make something new.

Gamzee gave a little nod at that. He can't say like he didn't all spend some motherfuckin' time staring at the reflective square in the ablution chamber, with his brain spinning a little too long in the darker lingering worries. And shit, wasn't that half the motherfuckin' reason he got to avoiding that ancestor of his? Sure, part of it was just cause the motherfucker was like fear put in bone and husk to any peep in general, but part of it was cause laying gander on that bro for too long sometimes got Gamzee to wondering if he would ever all turn out like him. And that were not thoughts what brought him any sort of mirth.

"Karkat makes it so I can up and fuckin' put trust in my own fuckin' self again. He helps me make fuckin' sense of what darkness does all linger deep in a bro's pan. Helps put the motherfuckin' shoosh on me, when I can't get to calming myself no more."

"Sounds helpful," Leo replied. "Not that I'm really a danger to anyone. I don't have anyone like that. Mostly because I don't like talking about all that sort of stuff. Or even letting people know that I even have that all to deal with. Though with this curse more people than ever know about some of these things."

Gamzee's brows furrowed more and more at the words coming from Leo s mouth. "I can all be telling a bro how he gotta be living his life or nothing, but... it ain't no good to be keepin' all manner of dark thoughts bottled up inside of your brainmeats. Sometimes you just gotta speak with your friends on them, let out what fuckin' ails ya so they can be like to fuckin' help you with that. It's good for you, helps a motherfucker find his peace, you get?"

[fundemetal]

"Yeah, I get it." And he really does get it. But that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't feel comfortable opening up about everything. If Piper or Jason were here, maybe he could open up completely to them. But as of right now, there wasn't anyone here he was close enough to to feel like he could just unload everything on them.

Gamzee watched him with a cocked head, before he leaned a bit closer, his voice kind despite the many curses that peppered his speech. "You know, if a brother ever gets to needing it, I don't up and mind lending a hearstub to whatever worries you wanna be speaking about."

Because who the fuck cared that he only had known him for half an hour. He already felt like friends and friends helped each other out.

[fundemetal]

"Thanks, man. I'll keep that in mind." Even without the curse, he's have said and meant it. But he'd much rather take up on that offer after he's got full control over what he says again.

"No prob. That's what you got friends for." Though he still has one arm draped over Leo's shoulders, Gamzee also raised his free fist to hold it up in front of them, clearly waiting for a bump.

[fundemetal]

"Yeah, guess so." Leo raised his hand to complete the fist bump. Like he's going to let a bro hang.
