An axe behind my mind 2 anonymous July 6 2011, 22:39:26 UTC
The delicate, rapid tip-tap-tip of Equius's typing started up. He'd reinforced the keyboard immediately after arriving at Sollux's hive stem block, having agreed to help find Karkat at Nepeta's pleading. They were using Sollux's programmes and operating system for maximum speed, but the way Equius could build and rebuild hardware out of materials ranging from yoghurt to titanium made Sollux feel inadequate and embarrassingly admiring.

"It's - it's almost perfectly exquisite," said Equius, showing once again why the admiration was embarrassing. "That the highblood should at last accept his heritage - and grow to realise that the peasantblood was only as good as a belonging to him - and so provide even such a vile character a wholly fitting and satisfactory place in society-"

"You're going to exthplode," Sollux said morosely. "I can't hear it yet, but thomehow I thtill know you're going to bleed out and die from an aneurysm in your bone bulge. Go ahead and jutht make thith day perfect."

An interlude of more mouth-breathing. And typing. Zahhak was a real workhorse; you had to give him that. Thematically appropriate and all.

Sollux was finding it difficult to get back into the rhythm. He gave in to compulsion and switched to a window showing Trollian's viewport function. "What getth to me is how he keepth walking."

While Equius had taken to watching for every new purple word on Trollian, Sollux had tagged Gamzee with a viewport when they could no longer ignore that he had, as promised, set out to make things right for his best friend. There was obviously a real danger he'd get lost ambling off after stray rainbows - but by then Gamzee had already left his home shoreline far behind and got onto a road, and his pace hadn't wavered since. Vision twofold didn't add much to the sight. It really felt like it ought to.

"It'th jutht Gamzee. Thame guy we've known forever, and he's been like a machine ever thinthe Kanaya told him. He didn't even know where he was going at firtht! If the ghosts hadn't found those people with the four-wheeled motorised device he'd probably have got himself fried by sunrise, and would he even have fucking noticed?"

Equius grabbed desperately for the stack of towels beside his computer. "He - this-" He swallowed audibly even from behind about five towels, then lowered them again. "This is what he is capable of - and always has been. This is who he was born to be."

Unstoppable. That was the word that came to mind. It would sound stupid with the lisp.

"Good," Sollux said. He kept half his attention on Terezi's message, because half was more than enough to be careful about decrypting more of it - this would be a hell of a time to get their up-and-coming legislacerator in trouble - and the other half stayed on the figure of Gamzee, slouching through city streets with a husktop braced awkwardly against his side and a juggling club in the other hand. "Good. Then we're getting KK back."

Sollux was starting to hear voices - couldn't tell how many, couldn't tell whose, and he begged Karkat's not to show up among them - but the distant screams of the imminently deceased got louder and sharper as Gamzee walked on.

"Thith is officially the plan, all right? Aradia can conthentrate on getting information, and never mind about getting Eridan to throw his theadweller weight around. Thith is the plan now. We point Gamzee in the right direction and watch. Our lovable clown freak to the rescue. What the hell is thith entire thituation?"

"I accede," said Equius, breathless.

"Colour me shocked."

"But, er, perhaps it would be best not to tell the others, as yet. Uh. Excessive, though admittedly understandable disbelief would hinder our progress." He shrugged uncomfortably as Sollux raised an eyebrow at this show of disbelief in Gamzee's abilities, and then straightened. "We should, however, tell the highblood."
