001 ♑ [video/text + action for new bark]

[The video feed switches on, but for some reason, Gamzee starts to type instead of speaking, not even looking into the camera. Perhaps he hadn't noticed he'd initiated the video function, as well. He's got a messy mop of curls on his head, and they insist on falling in his eyes every time he brings that painted face down to look at his Pokégear.]

[Gamzee takes a moment to visually assess his message, eyes slowly drifting across the screen before becoming obviously distracted halfway through and flicking up to stare at his surroundings. The feed remains on indefinitely.]

☮☮☮

[Later, he had taken to walking. Gamzee had never before tread with feet whose toenails did not push up against the tips of his sneakers. Never before had his head felt so weightless, bereft of its usual pair of massive horns and pointed ears. He could have likened it, perhaps, to the feeling of disjointed euphoria he’d always experienced from a choice tin of sopor – that first taste when you know the shit’s still hot but you all get to be bringing it up in for a taste anyways? Yeahhh. That’s the one. In fact, that wasn’t far off from what he’d been telling himself ever since he’d woken up in this place, disoriented yet pleasantly curious. He’d been briefed about his stay and his new partner, information he paid little attention to, because rules and regulations were just stuffy drivel that no decent whimsical motherfucker ever was to be getting his follow on of. Besides, the scenery and lushness of the land here was too distracting for him to have listened to that hoofbeastshit even if he’d wanted to.]

[Attempting to coerce any sort of conversation, decipherable or not, from the fat, pink creature that was apparently under his immediate supervision proved to be a fruitless endeavor. The only responses he got from it were extremely drawn-out and seemed to tax the thing more than Gamzee was interested in doing. It wasn’t chill to be all forcing a bro to be speaking when all he wasn’t feeling on doing it, for sure. He figured he’d supply the conversation for the both of them, hoisting the little dude (who was decidedly not little) up into his arms and lugging it along as he wandered down the 29th route.]


So, like, you all get your motherfuckin’ live on at what’s this greeny-planty joint all’s at being?

[He began, turning a blithe gaze towards the treetops and carrying on barefoot. His things had been packed away in the bag slung over his shoulder, but Gamzee had neglected to zip it up properly. As a result, all of his belongings were tumbling out of the knapsack as he continued down the trail.]

Or maybe you all is fuckin’ just being a dopey dreamer like this motherfucker? Get your wake on up in here like all just was to be doin’?

[He jostled the critter in his arms, attempting to elicit a response. It stared blankly ahead, swishing its tail laboriously.]

Bro of silence, ain’t you motherfuckin’ just? Nah, no worries, my wicked motherfucker. You ain’t gotta be speaking for all the motherfuckin’ miracles to get their hear on of you. Miracles be a funny motherfucking thing, in that they all be having their notice going of you when all you be least expecting it. Be what’s so fuckin’ great on them brothers, you know?

[He laughed to himself, readjusting his grip on his new friend as his new, pink-skinned feet turned a more familiar gray from the dirt and dust they were collecting.]

No offense to your ass, motherfucker, but I all be hoping I be snappin’ up out this halluci-motherfucking-nation sooner than fucking later, ’cause now that I be thinkin’ on it, I was pretty sure on what I got somethin’ important goin’ on that fucking needs all going back to...

[This is... really nice. Somewhat frustrating, sure, but John will take this Gamzee over his whacked-out future self any day. He hadn't really realized how much he'd missed it.]

[He waves a hand dismissively, smiling a little.]


Hey, it's no problem! I am happy to help.

But yes, that is his species name, at least. You can name him whatever you would like though, just don't change it too many times or he will get confused. They aren't really too fond of that.

As for the "peeping" well... to be honest, I would be surprised if you HAD heard a peep out of him that you could actually understand. Pokémon don't normally speak our language. Though... since Slowpoke is part psychic type, he might learn to eventually communicate with you telepathically?

[John isn't holding his breath though. This is Slowpoke we're talking about here.]

I RESPONDED TO THIS. I DEFINITELY RESPONDED TO THIS. WTFFFF

[personal profile] viiru2alert 2013-07-16 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Sending a Pokémon out whenever the fuck you want to? Bad idea, especially since you don't have 'em trained.

[Nice save, Sollux. Very nice save.]

And, you know, keep on telling yourself that. I think you'll start to value him a hell of a lot more once you actually get out there.

D--> No
D--> Commanding the Pokébeasts is precisely the sort of thing you should have no problem with


[Total elapsed time for old habits and irritations to override new caution - approximately thirty seconds.]

D--> If it is really such a necessesity
D--> They are quite capable of e%pressing displeasure if they are unwilling to obey
ghostytrainer: (i'm not so sure about that.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-07-19 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Err... [He gives the Slowpoke a very unsure glance.]

Proooobably not yet. But it's possible that he might learn how to eventually. It's something that kind of comes with experience and age, most of the time.

[There's also the whole intelligence factor but...]

Yep! As long as there's a party planned, that is. For my wiggling day I just made Sollux and Jake and Dirk take me out for a group dinner. ...This was back when Jake and Dirk were here; they aren't now, so you don't need to worry about them.

[ Luckily for Gamzee, Aradia doesn't seem to mind endless questions at all. She likes being useful; it comes with the territory! ...Or did, when she was helping out in the afterlife. ]

I'm sure he'll like anything you get him! After all, it being Equius, I expect he isn't expecting anything?

D--> Perhaps he has inherited your infuriating habit of obtuseness

[Nevermind that most of the Pokemon can't actually speak.]

D--> I was gifted with a hoofbeast upon my arrival here, yes
D--> She is e%quisite

You'd be fuckin' surprised. [Dark, bitter memories of almost all of Sollux's Pokémon come rushing back.]

[Sollux reorganized himself in his seat.] That's the kind of shit you could easily look up for yourself once you find a computer, but I'll give you the basics. If you wanna make this little pink asshole fight, then you can make him fight. If you want to make him spew out babies at an alarming rate and pawn them off for cash, you can do that too. It really depends. But the first thing you want to do with him is get to be friends with him, so that he don't grow up hating you -- having a Pokémon who hates you is hands-down the suckiest way to go about a journey. And, you know, it might be best for you to find some other wild Pokémon in the grass and have him knock them out, just for experience.
ghostytrainer: (guess how many fucks i give?)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-07-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm... well you unfortunately don't have much of a say in that. You might eventually get sent back, but we don't call the shots as far as leaving and going is concerned. There's no real pattern to it either, some of us have been here for years err... sweeps? That's what the troll calendar is divided into, right?

Anyway, then there are others who have only lasted a couple of weeks. Some who have come and gone several times, and others who have only ever been here once. [He shrugs.] You really just never know.

D--> The timekeeping system here makes it more or less impossible to say when my true wiggling day is with 100% certainty
D--> But the half-sweep anniversary of my arrival here is approaching


[Which he'd mostly forgotten about...]

D--> And I suspect the metaphorical flapbeast in question will ask you to adopt a human wiggling day yourself if your stay is sufficiently e%tended

[Maybe, if Gamzee had tried talking to someone else -- someone who cared about giving all the common information to newbies more than Sollux did -- then his eyes would roll back in his skull, from the information overload. But even though Sollux does have a burning passion for finding out more about how this fucked-up place works, he is also of the opinion that most of the simple things could be learned on one's own, from first-hand experience.]

[So mostly, he learned how to talk just enough to stop the questions, and no more.]


...I can't understand a fucking thing you say, but I'm assuming you agree with me. Cool.

[His eyes also trail to the 'croakbeast'. It doesn't look much like a croakbeast, to be honest -- more like a weird mammalian lizard, or maybe like a seal with legs or something. But that wasn't really the point. Sollux opened his mouth to say something else, until he heard what Gamzee said next, about Aradia.]

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm aware, thanks.

[GAMZEE has discovered something.
+ New Touchy Subject: Aradia (for SOLLUX CAPTOR) ]
ghostytrainer: (oh no it's fine. really! promise!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-07-26 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no prob, happy to help. And I would... [He hesitates. Part of him would like to get his chill on with Gamzee, despite the protests of the other part which would like to remind him that dude is actually bugfuck crazy beneath the stoner exterior. That and Rose will probably have his head for actually spending time with him.] ...like that, yeah. We will have to see about that if or when we ever happen to be in the same place.

Is Karkat going to pick you up then?

[He has no idea about the fact that Karkat and Gamzee pale-broke up back home. Dude neglected to mention that fact.]

Well, you're a bit early to know most of them! So I wouldn't worry about it. You can meet them here!!

[ Aradia considers that, and then nods. ]

I think that's true! Besides, he's gotten me presents on holidays before...so I think it's important to return the favor.
