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

[soporeffective]

[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.]

[He looks genuinely carefree, a big ol’ grin slapped on his face. Soon enough, however, his expression falls into that of a more thoughtful nature, though it retains all of its pleasantness.]

[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...

hey gamzee!
welcome to johto
did you ever play that fiduspawn video game
its sort of like that only real life
people come here from different worlds
and times!
case in point us
whats the last thing you remember from back home
i imagine its radically different from what you would say if we were remotely temporally close together
its my mad time player skills that allow me to make this assumption
though youll probably make the same assumption about me pretty shortly
you know i guess i never thought about it but only a few of us ever really changed how we typed
its like a club
except not actually
im rambling anyway hi!!
im free to answer any questions :)

ps dont eat any berries or try to climb ledges

[Action] - CHARGES IN HERE LIKE A RHINO

[hollower]

[The hobo-looking youth may find his one-sided conversation with his new companion interrupted rather spontaneously. By what? Well, firstly the yelp and thud of a young lady falling smack on her face some short distance behind him, though that may not have been the thing that'd catch his attention. What should, however, is the yelling that soon follows, and the stomping of an angry looking girl - and a small, baby bear like creature behind her - invading his personal space very quickly.]

OI, YOU! [She appears to be dragging a pair of pants on the ground at her side before thrusting them at the moron's ugly...p=painted face. Stupid.] I just fell over these, you idiot! Zip up that bag of yours, I almost hurt myself!

Welcome back.

[[While the quirk isn't the same as the one she disliked, she was still wary of Gamzee. Still distrustful and certainly still didn't like him much.]]

[iownahoofbeast]

D--> Highb100d
D--> Are you
D--> Feeling well

[Which is a very cautious way of asking if Gamzee has rolled his one-wheel device off into the abyss of psychosis and frothing rage or not. Likely not, given that this version of Gamzee seems far more familiar to Equius than the last one to show up in New Bark Town, but that was terrifying enough that he's treading lightly until he gets a definitive answer.]

D--> I see you have returned to your state of soporific into%ication

[viiru2alert]

[Him again?]

[Sollux grit his teeth. Being a decent human-troll being was going to be more difficult than he thought.]

2omebody el2e probably already told you all of thii2, but welcome to the johto-kanto regiion.
the liittle piink thiing ii2 your pokémon.
youd better keep an eye on hiim, cau2e human2 are weak a2 hell creature2, and iif you dont wanna be riipped liimb from liimb, he ii2 your only defen2e.
al2o, dont fuck around wiith your ball2 iin publiic.
that2 not at all a good iidea.

[When John initially sees that familiar indigo screw you, Hussie text and face, his initial reaction is to keep scrolling on past it with something of a heavy heart. At least until he notices the quirk. And the look on Gamzee's face. There are no scars this time, and he's back to typing like an internet weirdo again. Could he actually be...]

[He glances over the other responses. Yup, sure looks like it. He's high again.]

listen to aradia about the berries thing, dude, trust me.
you do not want to eat those.
you're in that human skin because reasons. like that's really all that can be said about it because nobody has any idea why that happens.
it just does.
you will probably get used to it pretty quick!
the fat pink thing is probably your starter, but i can't actually see it from the angle you are holding the camera.
it's one of the native creatures of this world and it will be your first companion of many!
like aradia said, this is basically human fiduspawn from what i understand. only in real life.
it's fun.

[He probably shouldn't have said anything because there's always a chance that Gamzee will go back to his crazed self here. But he's really missed the doped up dope. It's been over a year since the last time they had a conversation that didn't leave John feeling vaguely creeped out.]
