[32] time after time

[The Doctor comes on the line and it's almost hard to recognize that it's him. The usual cheery arrogance is completely gone, replaced by a maniac fear. He seems to be unsure of where he is or whom he is speaking to.]Hello! Is anyone there?! Don't just stand around, answer the bloody phone

[He finds the Doctor in the garage after making sure Karkat and Jade are all right. The blood doesn't shock him that much; the writing with it though makes his digestive sac churn and his hands clench in the urge to...but it passes in a flash and he forgets as soon as it happens, approaching the Doctor cautiously.]

Docbro? What happened here?

[coolbowtie]

...My friends always get hurt. And it's my fault. I don't mean for these things to happen, honest...

Gamzee... I'm glad you're alright.

[miraculls]

[Well, this is a pretty familiar mantra.]

No one's hurt, bro, we're all safe and motherfuckin' sound.

[His next statement makes Gamzee blink in surprise, then smile widely, touched.]

I'm real glad you're all right too.

[coolbowtie]

Don't want to see you hurt. Hopefully I can at least manage that.

[miraculls]

You will. You just gotta have faith in yourself and your friends, like I all do.

Besides, if it does happen, you can all what just close your motherfuckin' lookstubs. [NOT HELPFUL, GAMZEE...]

[coolbowtie]

...I do have faith in my friends. My friends are the best part of me. Always have been.

[miraculls]

Yeah? Me too, honk! A brother's gotta trust his friends to be all looking out for him, otherwise he ain't got no one.
