Action

[faygot]

Woah, just let me be gettin' my thinks in a line for a moment and I'll all up drop the wicked knowledge on you.

[He doesn't remove his arm from around Equius, instead just slumps a little, staring off dully into space as he tries to put everything in a good and nice line.

And after a minute or two he finally manages... something.]

Aight. I've all up been in this motherfuckin' miracle place for done... three months, I'm thinkin'? Yeah, that shit sounds about right. This is like... some motherfuckin' bubble under the sea, and the weird time shit is even weirder time shit here and people are all up from every fucking where on the time line. But it's chill. We's still all bros, yeah? Even if some of us are all up knowing a bit more than others.

Last thing I remember of the veil is just gettin' my chill on in my fine pile. How about you, my brother? What bizznasty were you all up bein' to be doin' when you got your nook dumped in the motherfuckin' land of miracles and magic?

Action

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Anytime the Highblood wants to lean on him like that, Equius is one hundred percent okay with it. He stands and waits patiently until the Highblood manages to focus, just enjoying the other troll's closeness, thinking about how it's only Gamzee's most noble and high bloodlines that give him the bravery to not be afraid of Equius' strength.

Then the Highblood starts talking again, and Equius' brow furrows. That's not really a question he wants to answer.

No, check that. That's definitely not a question he wants to answer.]

I was... looking for you, actually.

[Hey, that's the truth... just not the whole truth.]

Action

[faygot]

Yeah? You fixin' for a good nap in the horn pile?

[He just smiles happily. Good naps in the horn pile are definitely something he was in charge off when he got pulled here.]

Action

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Never mind that the horns would end up hopelessly crushed and mangled if he tried to nap on them; that was definitely a better assumption than the truth. And besides, it seemed to make the Highblood happy.

And there's nothing Equius wouldn't do to make the Highblood happy. Nothing.]

A nap in the horn pile would be delightful, yes.

Re: Action

[faygot]

Aww, yeah, that's the shit I like to hear. We all up oughta swing by my motherfuckin' hive and have you catch some wicked zzzs on the pile.

[Not that Gamzee slept anymore these days, but details.]

You could all be about meeting my moirail too.

Action

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Invitation to the Highblood's hive, oh yes. Equius already likes this place better than the Veil.]

Oh? You have a moirail now? Is it anyone I know?

[Not that Equius was interested in filling the position himself, but it better be someone worthy of the Highblood.]

Action - i'm sure Equius is quite interested in some other positions, sob.

[faygot]

[Gamzee finally let his arm slide away Equius neck to wave him along.]

I ain't thinkin' you do, my brother. I done met Wataru here. But let me tell you, motherfucker is all the bestest fuckin' pink starmonkey I ever did meet.

Action - all the positions, Gamzee. All of them.

[stayb100ponyboy]

You are moirails with a human?

[If anyone else had told him that, Equius would have immediately rained down scorn and ridicule on their shoulders. But if the Highblood had chosen a human, that was part of some divine, mysterious knowledge that he, Equius, as a lowly blueblood, was not privy to and couldn't possibly hope to understand. Not only did he accept it, but he was actively intriuged now.]

I must meet this... Wataru, you say?

Action - He'll badly command him around some more if asked

[faygot]

Yeah. Wataru done helped me with a lot of shit after--

[And that is when Gamzee grinds to a halt. Not because he has forgotten what they were talking about like normal, but because he suddenly realizes that Equius is going to find out about what he did, about who he murdered. His face fell a little, and... he should probably tell him this, right? No reason to keep secrets from friends. And he'd find out eventually anyway, so it was best to hear the story right from the horse's mouth so to speak, right?

Yeah.

Probably.]

Action - he probably won't ask (it's not his place), but he wants Gamzee to.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[This must be what the gutterblood Karkat had mentioned... what had happened that Equius wasn't supposed to ask Gamzee, or anyone else, about. Clearly, it was something distressing, judging by the way the Highblood's face fell and he grew distant and silent.

Equius makes a mental note to ask one of the other trolls exactly what it was, but right now he needs to change the subject. He can't stand seeing the Highblood in distress.]

Forgive my impertinence, but... may I borrow that towel? I don't wish to drip any more water on you.

[He's rather drip other liquids...]

Action - Oh Equius, you hilarious deviant.

[faygot]

[Gamzee blinks, glancing down at his shoulders, looking almost surprised when he spots the towel. Oh, right!]

Yeah, bro. Here you go.

[he tosses the fluffy white towel over Equius' head, forcing a bit of his normal old mirth back onto his face.]

Lets just be moving our hooves, yeah? Ain't too motherfuckin' far to our hive.

Action - wow, he is completely and shamelessly flushed for you, dude

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius cautiously removes the towel from his head, but still manages to snag it on his broken horn and rip one corner. He hides his embarrassment by using it to wipe off his face and hands, then moving to his shoulders and arms. By the time he's done, the towel is completely soaked and covered with bluish stains.]

I will follow you. Simply lead the way.

Action - But Gamzee has a flushcrush on a disney princess. Oh the trollmanity

[faygot]

[He pats him on the shoulder for a moment.]

Keep that one, my brother.

[And then he motions with his head, nearly toppling over for a moment, before he starts leading Equius to their hive. Luckily he walks this way often enough so without too many undue wanderings they arrive there shortly.]

All up gotta be asking you to take your shoes off, motherfucker. Wataru done likes that.

Action - ... is she a STRONG princess?

[stayb100ponyboy]

Of course, Highblood.

[Easier said than done, though. Equius takes a few moments to wrestle out of his metal shoes, and he is probably more pleased than he should be when he manages to not kick any holes in the wall during his struggle.]

Is this removing of shoes something that all the humans do?

[Because if it is, he's going to need some different shoes.]

Action - She has a frying pan of DEATH

[faygot]

Nah, just fuckin' underwear checks.

[Don't... ask. On occasion, Wataru is as much mom lusus to him as he is moirail. And honestly, he isn't the best example of a normal human anyway. Couldn't be if he is putting up with Gamzee of all people.

Gamzee gives him a smile, waving him along.]

Come on, bro. The pile is all up gettin' its wait on for you. And... I think I've got some fuckin' shit to tell ya anyways.
