GAMZEE, LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND VERY WELL, OKAY? I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT FOR ME.
I WANT YOU TO FIND ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN, ALL THE YOUNG TROLLS, THAT YOU CAN, AND GET THEM OUT OF THE BUBBLE. TAKE THEM UP TO THE ISLAND, OKAY? AND STAY THERE, AND STAY TOGETHER, UNTIL MYSELF OR ONE OF THE OTHER GROWN TROLLS THAT YOU TRUST COMES UP TO GET YOU. CAN YOU DO THAT?
[Get the young ones out of his path, at least temporarily. Then, if this ends in a bloodbath, they won't be around to see it.]
[Signless switches to video, so Gamzee can see his face. He's smiling bravely, although the stress of this occasion is showing clearly in the lines around his eyes and the set of his mouth. When he speaks, though, his voice is calm and soft.]
We've been dealing with trolls like the Grand Highblood and his ilk for sweeps, little one. We know how to take care of ourselves.
Go on, now. Find your friends and get them out of the bubble. I know you can do it.
[Well, if Signless will hit video, Gamzee will to. But he sure doesn't look as brave as Signless does. In fact, he mostly just looks like he has been crying. Because, he has in fact been crying. Cool how those things go, you know?
Sorry Equius. Today is going to be a messy make-up day and you are going to have to deal cause Gamzee has neither the steady hand nor steady mind to fix it.]

[He doesn't want to be saying this.]
[Not to him. And not after what has happened between them. And what he will try and do to the Helmsman.]
[But.]
[Gamzee. And Equius.]

[Damn. DAMN. And everything was so peaceful and serene here.]
SO I SEE YOU'VE ARRIVED HERE WITH US.
THIS IS NOT YOUR WORLD.
YOUR EMPRESS IS NOT HERE.
DO WHAT YOU WILL, BUT LEAVE US IN PEACE.
WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF YOU ANYMORE.

Don't die. I- I don't want you to fuckin' die.
Reply
[Signless, of course, doesn't know that, and just smiles at Gamzee reassuringly.]
I won't, my friend. I have no intention of dying today, or any day soon.
[His smile gets a little softer around the edges.]
We haven't had a chance to drink more wicked elixir yet, and that is worth staying alive for.
