Virginia: Day 26, Get Off the Lawn
[The PARTY TRAIN is a-rolling... and given the sort of situation at and, they've officially reached a time when it's now-or-never. Indeed, the white house lawn-- and much of the DC area-- has been overtaken by massive, colorful circus tents, and BRIGHT, with BRIGHT, SHINING SPOTLIGHTS. Rolling up on this in Jeff's tiny train, it's amazed they aren't run over by what amounts to a media circus-- news vans and camera crews are practically EVERYWHERE, an enormous crowd of people behind velvet ropes and leaning over to watch the small trickle of juggalos entering the circus tents, surrounding the literal circus with a media circus. Despite this, there is no line for entrance to the carnival itself, the dark labrynth of twisting tents and attractions having only a single vendor jamming to horrorcore and a whole heap of INTERVIEWERS looking for a HOT SCOOP.]
[ It's a hell of a scene to look at from a distance. The white house itself isn't even visible beyond the DARK CARNIVAL.]
DAVENFORTH: -Peeps this.- What the shit actually
QIRIN: ...��
QIRIN: I have not yet determined whether a lack of a welcome party is good news or not.
PENNY: yeeeeeeeeEEEEHAW.
ROXANNE: -Euugh, she didnt really mind clowns until this very moment.-
[ Fortunately there are no clouns in IMMEDIATE sight. Just clown-adjascents.]
JEFF: =SWEATING SO MUCH and stays right where he is=
PENNY: -she's made up in clown paint and shit too, rattling her car. she's ready to be rowdy.-
PENNY: -NOT LIKE THEY CAN INFILTRATE REALLY GREAT AFTER BROADCASTING THEMSELVES BUT HEY. MAYBE.-
DEREK: -he's with you, penny... both in attitude and attire.-
KURLOZ: =takes one look around, scrunches up his nose=
[ The current question is: Who is in some kind of disguise, clown makeup or otherwise, and who is not? THE OTHER QUESTION is how close are they getting to the entrance? There is a clear path straight down the middle to the entrance-- with the only landmines being a few reporters and papparazos, and only the occasional fully-garbed Juggalo strides confidently through the entrance.]
RILEY: -this is some bullshit but they have to blend in. And she also refused to stay back by herself. So you win some and you lose some.- holy fuck.
DAVENFORTH: -He's wearing a latex Donald Trump mask. The biggest clown of them all-
RILEY: -DAAAAAAAMN-
ROXANNE: -Most people are getting down with the clown disguise and she is no exception, this is a serious mission despite the smile painted onto her face.-
QIRIN: =She loves you Davenforth, but she can't help but make a face at that mask=
DAVENFORTH: -Well if no one else is getting out, he is. Hello. This is gonna be yuuuuuuuge.-
REPORTER:

DAVENFORTH: Anything for america of course no one loves america more than me if anyone claims as such theyre lying so many people ask me how can you love america and i tell them america is just so wonderful ill show you how much i love america its just the best
ROXANNE: -Davenforth plz.-
RILEY: -she's gonna lose it at this answer so she has to carefully cover her mouth and not mess up her make-up at the same time. Fucking ridiculous-
DEREK: Can I get a whoop whoop for America?
QIRIN: =She wants all this over with so she can get this horrific layer of oil off her face= QIRIN: Whoop whoop!
REPORTER: We;; A;; give a whoop whoop for America! -Makes sure she's in frame as a tubby cameraman holds up a few recording devices with telekinesis. HE LOOKS INCREDIBLY DISINTERESTED IN THIS WHOLE PROCSES.- REPORTER: Te;; the country how EXCITED you are to be taking part of the judicia; process in the first ever, hands-on pub;ic execution of justice on this FORMER;Y backwards world!

LIFERA: -she, too, is in clown makeup... and made up to look way more purple than she actually is.- 38D
RILEY: -fuck. - whoop fuckin' whoop.
REPORTER: -she is just plain FLABBERGASTED by this man's charisma-
PENNY: -leans and whispers to Qirin- (whats she mean public execution?)
QIRIN: =has a feeling that some pyropes would not take too kindly to the public execuction of justice of any kind= QIRIN: =just..again= Whoop whoop!
HIGHBLOOD: =Gets his bigass on up out here, picking his fangs=
QIRIN: (It is likely exactly what she means.)
REPORTER: One ;ast question! Are you hoping for a seat on the cabinet? Or are you just here for the exhuberant and divine joy of mass mu-- OH GOOD HEAVENS!
REPORTER: (ARE YOU GETTING HIM IN FRAME? GET HIM IN FRAME, ASSHOLE.)
REPORTER: -the other one pans up a bit to look at the Highblood's BIG OLD FACe.-
HIGHBLOOD: =HE'S A FRESH 600 SWEEPS MAYBE=
DAVENFORTH: Look at my my highblood caste friend over there just look at him look at my purple american friend

REPORTER: Even dishonored expatriates are eager to win their p;ace in the New America! REPORTER: I'm assuming that you are hoping for a spot on the cabinet, but-- oh!
REPORTER: Any statements you'd ;ike to make?
REPORTER: -HOLDS THE MIC UP TO GHB-
LIFERA: -really close to GHB... she is not comfortable now that the camera is in their direction...-

REPORTER: -CLEARLY UNNERVED AND FORCING A FAKE SMILE-
DAVENFORTH: What an articulate speaker there he goes my clown american friend give it up everybody
REPORTER: ..... (:C
ROXANNE: -Dammn big clown, you go.-
LIFERA: -DOES SOME KIND OF DIMISSIVE HAND SIGN FROM UNDERNEATH THE HAIR. It's about all that can be seen of her as she strolls along-
[ The other seem to be TRYING to get an interview, but the circus itself beckons, and they're all a TEENSY bit intimidated by GHB's presence.]
DEREK: Much clown love from that jolly motherfucker amirite?
DAVENFORTH: -Falls in line with GHB- DAVENFORTH: You alright magilla
PENNY: hell motherfuck yeah my ninja. -leans against Derek with an entire bottle of Faygo.-
HIGHBLOOD: :o) HIGHBLOOD: alls am gonna get right and recalibrated
RILEY: -they're way too good at this-
RILEY: -sticks with lifers tho-
RILEY: -or you know...lifera-
PENNY: -IT'S TWO WHOLE LITERS.-
DAVENFORTH: Im calibrated get me and my bro a big enough distraction and ill get the rest taken care of
ROXANNE: -Shes trailing behind Davenforth to make this a clown entourage.-
[ The ticket taker, too busy jamming to bother stopping them or even explaining anything, could PROBABLY be hassled with a determined effort, but they could also slip right past if they didn't care about this guy's shit. ]
HIGHBLOOD: dones is done and done
HIGHBLOOD: =Would killing him be a determined effort=
[ no man he's pretty easy to kill ]
PENNY: -squeezing past and also quipping at the reporter now- yeah tell yallselves the fams gonna party real hard tonight. HATCHETS HIGH IN THE SKY.
DAVENFORTH: Thank you my clown american friend
LIFERA: -pulls Riley into the hair. join her.-
DEREK: Ill raise my faygo to that juggalette.
RILEY: -OOOOH HAIR TENT-
PENNY: -CACKLES-
RILEY: -it tickles-
DEREK: -CHUGS HIS OWN BOTTLE. its orange obv.-
LIFERA: -whispers to her- (Stick with me. If it gets dangerfish, I'll protect you.)
HIGHBLOOD: =He's a secret meeting place, good yes=
RILEY: (i'm swooning already. take me away.)
[ The carnival itself-- and oh, fuck, this is kinda dizzying. It's not set up like a regular carnival, with lots of games and attractions and flashing lights to attract attention and tokens, but rather, it's decorated with strung lights and smears of blood on the floor. Most of the blood appears to be human blood, and the lighting seems to turn at a dime from dim to blindingly bright. There are TONS of exits from this one circus tent alone-- at least five-- and it's hard to tell where the others lead to. Notes are scrawled on the canvas in blood, but most of them are extolling the virtues of mass murder, or the first few lines of JUGGALO PRAYERS.]
[ On a less severe note, the place is just sorta grody besides that. Like carnival grody.]
RILEY: ...
ROXANNE: -Nasty.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Makes face atthat scripture on the walls.= :o/
DAVENFORTH: -Stretches a little. Adjusts his tie.-
ROXANNE: -Also moves up next to Davenforth.- (Hey wall building homie. plan of route?) ROXANNE: -She ASSUMES he roughly has some sort of plan...please.-
DAVENFORTH: (They fucked this up a lot more than i thought it may take me a little bit to make out a route play along for now)
PENNY: -strides almost drunkenly along with Derek, but it's all just a ruse. She's just trying to seem nonchalant about this whole thing, eyes half-lidded and grinning, but her heart is pounding. This place is fucking weird.-
ROXANNE: (M'kay.) ROXANNE: (Is it also just me or does this place reek like a compost dump?)
RILEY: -you're doin' good lil sis.-
DAVENFORTH: (Welcome to juggalos lil mama)
DAVENFORTH: -Looks for a high point for him to clamber up and gain a better view-
ROXANNE: (Im already ready ta'say goodbye.) -Keeps smiling besides being anxious as fuck.-
[Tent poles, if he wants to shimmy. Once he gets high enough he can cut a hole in the canvas and peep out of it.]
LIFERA: -GIGGLING at Riley for a moment, but just keeps her hand on her arm and quiets again. That blood everywhere... humans are so fragile. She doesn't want anyone to be hurt here.- (I fish I cod!) LIFERA: (It smells like stale stank.)
DAVENFORTH: (Be right back yall) -Already shimmying up a tentpole-
DEREK: -he's got u penny. he's pretty zen himself, but pumped to be here and do this shit finally. pats the sisters shoulder, but guides the pair of them over to davenforth and roxanne so he can eavesdrop on their whispering-- oh but he ascends.-
DEREK: -bobs while he watches this-
PENNY: -that's not conspicuous at all... just fuckin tips up her two liter of faygo and drinks while watching this. this is normal.-
ROXANNE: -Look at him go.- ROXANNE: -Just gonna lean on that pole a little, its totally chill there is nothing suspicious going on here.-
[YOU KNOW HE LOVES TO SHIMMY]
RILEY: (honestly i've been liking the whole mouth breather thing.)
DAVENFORTH: -Shimmy shimmy coco puff. Shimmy shimmy now. Cutting this tent all up, what's he peepin now?-
LIFERA: (You shouldn't talk about your husband like that.) 38)
[The bright light from the Outdoors streams in through the hole he just cut-- and it's kind of a run, sure, but he can see the white house now that he's got a good vantage.]
DEREK: -damn..................... or should he say dwamn-
[There's actually a decent enough route BETWEEN the tents, if he commits it to memory-- leading right to the front door. It seems like the secret service has been co-opted by carnival attractions, though.]
DAVENFORTH: -Slides down the pole on some cirque de soleil shit-
DAVENFORTH: Alright got it its kind of a jog but nothin too bad lot of tents in the way
ROXANNE: -Steps away from it so he has room to get down.- ROXANNE: Sweet.
DAVENFORTH: -Looks at GHB- Everyone ready
PENNY: say the word homie.
RILEY: -she snorts at that comment lifera makes- (oh shit. nice.)
HIGHBLOOD: =Thumbs up and rolls his shoulders=
ROXANNE: Lets fuck shit up.
LIFERA: -glubs softly and nods! wait. peeks out of the hair and then nods!-
DAVENFORTH: -Pushes through the tent into the actual carnival itself and it's hitting him how fucking....CARNIVAL like this shit is. Oh...-
DAVENFORTH: Anybody like carnival games like i mean just for the record just asking for a friend a cheeto dusted friend
[READY OR NOT, here it comes. And by IT i mean the true nature of the Dark Carnival itself; it is where sinners are taken to be TESTED and learn the DARK MORALS of the joker cards. Indeed-- here's one now! The sinner in question is a human, gagged, blindfolded and tied, atanding underneath some kind of strength-tester machine-- the kind where you hit the lever and a big metal thingy flies up to ding a bell. Set up in such a way that after it goes up, it's going to come straight down on this dude's head, and guarded by a four-foot-five troll who is frankly built with terrifying muscles.-
ROBUSTO: YOU THINK YOU ARE AS STRONG AS ROBUSTO???? PROVE YOUR STRENGTH OR DIE LIKE COWARD-MAN WHO TELLS STATE SECRETS TO FOREIGN POWERS.
LIFERA: !!!
PENNY: -oh god yep here they go.....-
DAVENFORTH: -Whispers a reclaimed racial slur under his breath-
RILEY: (anybody tries to fucking do that shit i'll be the one whackin you over the head.)
HIGHBLOOD: =Ants=
ROBUSTO: -HOLDS UP AN ENORMOUS MALLET. It's wooden and heavy.- WHO WILL TAKE ROBUSTO'S CHALLENGE????
DAVENFORTH: And if we say fuck yourself with that righteous noise
DAVENFORTH: Just checkin for a friend
LIFERA: -soft hissing in this hair. She.... starts shuffling closer to Davenforth.- (Go. Keep going.)
DAVENFORTH: (Lif)
RILEY: - fucking striders-
ROBUSTO: -SQUINTS. And twirls his moustache.-
LIFERA: (Now.)
ROXANNE: -Hhgh. This is already another layer of hell, but also Davenforth dont call attention.-
HIGHBLOOD: testin strength...... HIGHBLOOD: =eyeballs Robusto= we can play this game while y'all check shit it :o)
ROXANNE: -Listen to your fish wife.-
LIFERA: -punches Davenforth in the shoulder and laughs-
DAVENFORTH: -Soft marge noise-
ROBUSTO: A-HA! ROBUSTO: FINALLY. ONE WHO IS NOT WEAK AND COWARD WHO FAILS TO WIN GLORIOUS HONOR OF BLOOD PRIZE DEAD MAN SHATTER SKULL.
ROBUSTO: -shoves the mallet in GHB's hand-
LIFERA: T)(IS MOT)(-ERFUCK-ER TOO WIMPY TO DO IT. G-ET OUTTA )(-ER-E.
RILEY: (jesus christ.)
DAVENFORTH: When that beat hits yall -We book it-
DEREK: -jesus CHRIST indeed-
DEREK: -he's ready to book it... sipping his faygo.-
ROBUSTO: -STRENUOUSLY FLEXES-
HIGHBLOOD: =This mallet is a toothpick isn't it? Look at his ham hands... but he takes it. Snrks=
HIGHBLOOD: =Crouches= :o)
LIFERA: -watches GHB carefully-
ROBUSTO: -FLEXES EVEN MORE-
ROBUSTO: ✨💪✨
RILEY: i would prefer not to have someone's blood on me but you know.
HIGHBLOOD: =Bops Robusto like a field mouse. Right on the cranium bro=
ROXANNE: -Ah, yep. There it is.-
DAVENFORTH: Cheese it
PENNY: -WELL JESUS-
ROXANNE: -Time to book it fellas and lady gents.-
RILEY: -OK BYE-
LIFERA: -WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT GETTING OUT OF HERE YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE FOR THIS-
DAVENFORTH: -Bolts to the right and rips through the canvas. White house here we come!-
ROBUSTO: -oh MAN he takes a lump for sure. His head is CRACKED loudly and he holds up a finger in SHEER OUTRAGE- ROBUSTO: COWARD WIGGLER STRIKES ROBUSTO INSTEAD OF RUBOSTUS KILLMAN KILLING... ROBUSTING... ROBUSTO: ROBOTS??? ROBUSTO: -he falls over DEAD.-
DEREK: -throws this sugary shit on the dirty ass ground and flash steps after davenforth-
DAVENFORTH: -Babe I'm already gone. Kanye shrug-
HIGHBLOOD: =EYES the others and opens his arms= now now HIGHBLOOD: what else ams i testin?
ROXANNE: -YOU BOYS AND YOUR FLASH STEPING. She cant do that but she can sure sprint like hell after sending a glance to the rest of the group. Good luck guys.-
PENNY: -aaaaAAAHHHHH. SHAKES UP HER FAYGO FURIOUSLY and DUNKS it on the ground. it goes shooting up like a fucking rocket and sprays the crowd-
[The nearby juggalos murmur and mutter something. A few of them SCAMPER OFF, but a small group brandishes a set of hatchets.]
[Apparently this seems to indicate that they'd tie a rope to their dicks and jump off a building, should the mood strike them, but ALSO, that they think they can Totally take the guy that murdered Robusto.]
DAVENFORTH: -Well he don't wanna leave Rox behind. No flash stepping yet, but he's also sprinting around the perimeter of tents. It's hard to breathe in this Trump mask y'all.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Don't let him talk them out of it. There's gonna be a lot of blood back here as he will grab and squish skulls...sans for One. One he'll voodoo and have murderlate their pals.=
ROXANNE: -That is greatly appreciated.-
LIFERA: -grabs Riley's wrist and drags her behind GHB, toward the fucked up strength tester and the human that's tied up. She sure doesn't need to see this, and while that's happening, they could get this guy outta here-
PENNY: -she's just gonna uhhhh. stay outta GHB's way. yeaahhhh-
[I WILL SPARE U THE GORY DETAILS OF HOW DEAD THE GROUP IS. Except for the one guy hollering and raising his hatchet chasing after the other clowns. The others don't think there's anything fucked up about that, though, that just sorta happens sometimes.]
PENNY:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
PENNY: -she's gonna need to get REAL fucked up after this-
HIGHBLOOD: =He's snickering as this happens, what a bunch of idiots. He's covering the ladies=
RILEY: -IS PULL. Looks up at this tied up Guy. SHES PRETTY GOOD AT UNTYING. Except when she isn't. She's going to do her best- okay dude you're going to run as fast as you can outta here.
LIFERA: B-ETT-ER Y-ET. -She unties the gag around the guy's mouth and the blindfold from his eyes, and then pulls out a little container of greasy black paint, smearing his face with it.- 38)
GUY: -wheezes.- th-thank you. Those people a-are... -TRYING NOT TO FOCUS ON THE GORE OVER THERE- GUY: ... GUY: don't eat the funnel cake. -As soon as he's free he BOLTS.-
HIGHBLOOD: yo what >:o/ HIGHBLOOD: how the fuck they fucked up funnel cake... dumb motherfuckers
LIFERA: Glub...
RILEY: no funnel cake over here.
QIRIN: =She doesnt even know how to comment to all of this=
LIFERA: Ocray... ST-EP BACK.
[It seems that this particular tent is cleared, save for some gruesome reminders. There are three other flaps; one leading back where they came from, near the ticket booth, one branching to the left and one branching to the right.]
LIFERA: -motions the other ladeez to get outta the way before doing a little half lean and then KICKING the strength tester to try to knock it down. NO MORE OF THIS.-
[ IT CRASHES.]
[CLONK]
QIRIN: =claps softly= Property damage, hurrah. ^_^
LIFERA: T)(ANKS.
QIRIN: =high five, lif!=
LIFERA: -SLAP-
LIFERA: Where to now?
[would they like to inspect any passages in particular]
[One leading back where they came, one to the right and one to the left.]
[There is the vague sound of music coming from the right... and the vague sound of someone furiously arguing to the left.]
QIRIN: =is is possible to hear what they are arguing about from here?=
[NOPE]
[u would have to get closer, and 'closer' means probably 'through the passage entirely.']
PENNY: -she's already heading toward the left one....-
[aw shit. If she makes it through, she'd see... well, someone who MAY or MAY not be recognizable to her.]
PENNY: -she's DOING IT.-
PENNY: -waves the others over-
[either way, it's the current secretary of state, one Alex Abbiss. He seems to be shouting down a group of juggalos-- some hatchet-wielding and TERRIFIED fellows who probably just saw Robusto get murdered.]
HIGHBLOOD: =Hey what's up hello, I murdered up your friend and now it's your turn to go=
[It is OBVIOUS that this is an important guy, and as they get closer to the man in a bloodstained jersey with a whole rack of vynyl records strapped to his back, they can hear what he's helling about-- how important he is and how NONE of these goddamned posers are gonna be gunning for HIS job, he MADE the ICP, do you HEAR HIM]
[This changes as he hears them enter, and FLINGS a razor-sharp record at them in a fury.]
PENNY: - SH I T-
PENNY: -JUST TRIES TO DUCK-
[she gets... a SMALL haircut. ]
[He's pulling some more records on them. HE'S READY TO TUSSLE.]
PENNY: -THAT MOTHERFUCKER.-
PENNY: -whips out her gun because... well, it's really the only thing she knows how to use, but it's gonna make a lot of noise...-
LIFERA: -leading Riley along after her??-
[The other juggalos seem to have fallen in rank behind him, because shit, okay, MAYBE they just tried to murder him, but they can also get in good with him if they kill these people? Whatever. IT'S A SURE FIRE RUCKUS HAPPENING, THAT'S FOR SURE.]
QIRIN: =oh hell WHY= QIRIN: =raises her dukes! Her spear is noticable enough that it might blow her cover and that would just put prospit in a (more) precarious situation.=
ERIDAN: -some masquerade masked fish is rolling into the scene. Literally rolling in on an actual unicycle somewhere under the flashy cape he's wearing. A relic from a time he used to be proud to wear such a thing.- ERIDAN: -Hey, Penny. He's here and swinging out a LAUNCHER of some kind. They'll find out what it does in the second he fires it.-
PENNY: -THE FUCK???-
[Don't worry boys, clustering up together in a tight group is the BEST kind of tactics.]
[The juggalos all agree with that sentiment.]
LIFERA: -peeks in for this... the fuck-
PENNY: -she agrees with that sentiment, as it happens-
ERIDAN: -Fires the launcher like he's shooting fish in a barrel. In a single swift PCHOO, it explodes in a thick vault of LIQUID NITROGEN right over the juggalos. The chemical will be freezing on impact with their skin.- B/
[oh FUCK. They start to charge as a group, hatchets HIGH, and then they continue to do so, with their hatchets high, in that EXACT position, possibly FOREVER. They are SUPER DUPER FROZEN.]
ERIDAN: -Owwned.-
ERIDAN: so ERIDAN: the others been on their wway huh looks like it -just kinda balancing there. Just another Thursday afternoon.-
PENNY: ....... dude.
LIFERA: Y-ES. You're about on tide.
[By the look of things, YES. This cut rate Fieri-clone has been put to his end; along with a sizable number of juggaspirants.]
ERIDAN: -pockets the rifle. Safe and sound.- alright ERIDAN: yall finishin the job or should wwe keep pressin wwith the dispatchin ERIDAN: it aint goin to end wwith the death a the figureheads wwe ought to be securin a method a escape
LIFERA: CL-EARING T)(-E WAY. Sounds good to me.
[Behind them, there is suddenly the sound of... sizzling grease?]
QIRIN: =is there an alternate weapon she can grab? perhaps from literal cold, dead hands?=
[Hot oil and something being poured into it-- and though he was not visible there before, he is now.]
VENDOR: You look like you could use some
funnel cakes.
PENNY: oh hell no.
[As for weapons, there are SHARP VINYL RECORDS and HATCHETS to choose from Qirin.]
VENDOR:
FREE OF CHARGE.
ERIDAN: -mghhh. He's hungry suddenly, flicking fins in the direction of the sound.- ERIDAN: -taking out a sniper's rifle now, balanced on his unicycle. B[ -
VENDOR: [He holds out the funnel cake.. towards you, specifically, Eridan.]
VENDOR: [It smells... intoxicating. Literally.]
VENDOR: This... is rare supply. We're running low. Haven't had our shipment from scenic niagra falls.
LIFERA: Don't eat that.
VENDOR: But you can eat it.
VENDOR: Carnival food is pure food, son.
VENDOR: Good... pure... food.
ERIDAN: -Nah thanks. He shoots this fucker and his funnel cake.-
VENDOR: -!
VENDOR: -Frying dough pours out of the hole in his head.-
VENDOR: FOOL!
VENDOR: -Pulls out both fry baskets, brandishing the HOT METAL as the inhuman figure staggers, attempting to LUNGE at him despite his... rapidly spilling vital dough.-
ERIDAN: -pedals backwards with finesse. Pew. Pew. Pat. Pat. Yeah, fine, brandish the hot metal. Eridan is swinging the butt of his rifle to combat this oily fuck.-
VENDOR: -GURGLING AND SCREAMING AS HE COLLAPSES INTO A PUDDLE OF YEAST.-
VENDOR: -DEAD-
[Only the hot grease cart remains.]
QIRIN: ......................
ERIDAN: gross ERIDAN: ... ERIDAN: -flicks a lighter on and eyes the hot grease cart.-
QIRIN: =She came back from retrieving the vinyl records because heck, at least it's like throwing knives.= QIRIN: Either they have been altered to a molecular level or they have found a way to make yeast sentient. I am unsure which prospect is the more disturbing.
[It's pretty tricked out, as far as hot grease carts go. It's also full of boiling hot, flammable liquid, which COULD very well be useful.]
ERIDAN: -Damn... true... slowly puts the lighter away.- wwe got ourselvves a bomb
QIRIN: It may very well be the diversion the others require. =She's inspecting the cart further. Does it have wheels for rollin?=
[IT SURE DOES]
QIRIN: =peeps out the tent flap. Anything downhill? Anything important looking that needs burning?=
[Would that be the tent flap back the way they came from, or the next unexplored tent?]
PENNY: ... a bomb?
PENNY: sounds good.
PENNY: what are we blowing?
QIRIN: =the next=
ERIDAN: good question -squints heavily and considers. All of it would be ideal...- somethin thatll draww the majority of wwhos left for a brawwl ERIDAN: that wway provvidin the means to escape for the others ERIDAN: wwhere the shit is that impregnated twwinkie gobbler
[There is something down the way... something that looks... important. Or at least, important enough. She can only get a glimpse, but it's a pretty popular spot, and the flashing light appears to say PRIZES.]
QIRIN: =Well that settles that= QIRIN: The prize booth calls to us. ^_^ QIRIN: Everyone prepared for vandalism and arson?
PENNY: excuse? -stares at Eridan-
ERIDAN: wwell aint she -Really doesn't see anything wrong with his word choice.- you her wward or not
PENNY: yeah maybe. could also be called a twinkie gobbler.
PENNY: prefer Nuthands McMike though.
ERIDAN: -frowns- i disagree she aint done nothin to earn such a title
[WOULD YOU LIKE EVIDENCE ERIDAN]
ERIDAN: -Yeah sure. He's seen worse shit.-
[oh well he doesn't have any actually]
[go back to rigging ur greasebomb]
ERIDAN: -alright. Moves off the unicycle to cover this stupid grease cart with his cape.- wwere the shit wwe takin this
PENNY: -she's talking about herself u fuck-
PENNY: approximately thattaway. -points to where Qirin indicated-
SOME FUCKIN JUGGALO: oh shit i smell the funnel cake dude
[the voice WAFTS from that direction]
[calling in a siren song]
ERIDAN: -mmm better get this cart moving. Wrings out a hankerchief like BLEH and uses it to get a grip on the handle. Now pushes it along.- ERIDAN: this reeks somethin' awwful
QIRIN: =She smoothly saunters out to the sound of Some Fuckin Juggalo to greet them as the others try workin the cart'=
[It does... like grease, but also some sinister chemicals. And sinister jujus.]
[THE JUGGALO MOSTLY JUST WANTS FUNNEL CAKES.]
[But he is at least blocked from what is to come.]
ERIDAN: -wheels this cart outtie, definitely holding his breath from BREATHING IN THE CHEMICALS. Hello prize booth.-
[There's all kinds of prizes on display: Axes, special stardust, clown facepaint. Essentials.]
[Seems like they're paying in blood tokens, which are, in fact, human ears. Probably from people less lucky than the guy they rescued.]
LIFERA: -She's following as well, ready to punch a clown if necessary.-
PENNY: ... -can she grab one of those axes? are there people around??-
[THERE ARE. Lots of people, actually. Trying to get their prizes. Some of them are now trying to get funnel cakes.]
ERIDAN: -The funnel cake cart is TARPED by cape, you idiots. Can you not SEE.-
[THEY CAN SMELL IT YOU BOGARD]
[BOGART?]
[WHATEVER]
QIRIN: Helllllloooo there! =She does block his way, cocking her hip as she greets the juggalo cheerily!= A miraculous evening to you!
SOME FUCKIN JUGGALO: YEAH POPPIN HOT SHIT NINJETTE WHERES THE DOUGH AT????
PENNY: -aUGH-
QIRIN: Aw man, the line's all clogged up! Some eighth grade history class came for their class trip! Dough guy has gotta feed the next generation, you know what I mean? Ahahahaha!
[The juggalo has NO idea what this fresh pimpin ninjette is going on about. But at least that buys them some room and some time to move the thing.]
RILEY: -she wandered a little too far and got lost... Suddenly panting next to them- holy shit you would not believe-- oh my god what NOW?
ERIDAN: havve at it -whirls the cape off the cart and throws it over Riley.- keep that on wwould you ERIDAN: its durable the kind to ride out lightnin storms through
RILEY: -catches it. Thank you ace reflexes. She puts it on- i'm such a badass.
QIRIN: =are they even done yet? She's waiting for BOOM!= So...while we wait for Boogie Woogie Wu to scare off the tiny children, why do we not exchange pleasantries on this fresh turf?
JUGGALO: :o/
QIRIN: What do you favor? Halls of Illusion or House of Horrors?
JUGGALO: -SLOWLY REATCHING FOR HIS HATCHET-
RILEY: -penny do I need to get my gun-
ERIDAN: -turns his back to riley in a dramatic fashion and arms himself with an assault rifle. All eyes on him, folks.- alright you insatiable GREASE CLOUT FUCKS CLEAR THE MOTHERFUCKIN PATH ERIDAN: -and promptly bombkicks the cart and the whole trap of grease into the crowd.-
MOVVE I SAID
QIRIN: Ah, I see you have a hatchet. You should never run with one...unless you're
running with a hatchet,
amirite? QIRIN: ;)
JUGGALO: -oh shit.- JUGGALOS: -OH SHIT-
[They suddenly bolt out of the way of the HOT GREASE CART-
RILEY: -this is suddenly the most exciting shit she's seen in a while. Gun time.- B)
ERIDAN: -taking this time to line gallons of sparkle fish gasoline by the display stands. Marching like the grimest of military marches. They only really have one shot at this. His glasses glint menacingly at the crowd.- STRIDER -bares fangs- ERIDAN: LETS BLOWW THIS TENTED SHITSTAIN OF A FESTIVVAL
QIRIN: =still distracting this one juggalo if he isn't distracted already. She's going to rinse her mouth with salf water after this=
[HE IS DISTRACTED WITH RUNNING FROM THE EMINENT FIRE]
QIRIN: =Awesome.= QIRIN: =she quickly joins everyone else, more than gently urging everyone back. She has a feeling this will be a fireball.=
RILEY: -WHERE IS PENNY SHES NOT GONNA LEAVE HER-
ERIDAN: -God damn it, STRIDER.-
ERIDAN: -You're back at being the twwinkie gobbler.-
RILEY: -so....you're saying I was promoted? SHES NOT LEAVIN WITHOUT PENNY-
PENNY: -SHE'S COMING SHIT-
RILEY: -YOU BETTER OR IMGONNA DRAG YOUR ASS OUTTA HERE-
LIFERA: -also just gonna keep distance from this shit-
ERIDAN: -brandishing the assault rifle at the crowd. Now that everything is in order, Eridan whirls on the prize tent and begins peppering the gasoline tanks with gunfire. Hasta la vista you salted juggalo fucks.-
JODIE: - She's been GHOSTING away from the main group in full aggrobat regalia, even throwing in a cartwheel or two. yup she totes mgoats belongs here. she's looking for a get away vehicle of some kind. -
RILEY: -LETS GO-
[THAT IS A KABOOM]
[The prize stand goes up in flames. Clown paint and stardust? Flammable.]
[The gasoline tanks goes up in flames. The tent itself? IT IS ON FIRE YOU BET YOUR ASS]
[The smoke is choking but it's spreading WAY too quick across the whole dang long.]
[lawn]
[whatever]
ERIDAN: - 🔥🔥🔥 -
JODIE: - well it looks like things are going well over there. -
[THAT LONG LAWN.]
QIRIN: =shoving people in the away direction. Forgive her lack of being gentle, but if it's spreading, and people are lagging, she'll resort to hupping em under an arm and toting them away.=
JODIE: - Let's see... something not on fire... not on fire... -
[There is a BEAUTIFUL convertible that-- no wait it's on fire. And it was a raffle prize anyways.]
[Looks like the ice cream truck isn't on fire. Don't eat the ice cream though.]
JODIE: - That'll work. She sneaks up and checks the windows to make sure it's empty. She can't be sure about the back though, she'll need to. open it up. Scurries-
ERIDAN: -holding his goddamn breath in all this. Seadweller skills activate. Fuck, his gills are going to burn something fierce in all this smoke.- ERIDAN: -SHOVING HIS SOLDIERS, GO GO GO GO GO. Messaging Jeff and the others stationed outside the premises. There's no going back to the campus after this.-
LIFERA: -DON'T YOU SHOVE ME BOI-
ERIDAN: -THEN GET IN THE ICE CREAM TRUCK QUEENIE. CHRIST.-
RILEY: -SORRY BOUT THE SMOKE RYAN IM TRYIN OVER HERE-
ERIDAN: -At least she has the cape and won't get burned by ash.-
QIRIN: =Helping Riley in the van. She's preggers with an energy consumer, after all.=
JODIE: -KEYS? IF NOT ROLL TO HOT WIRE. This takes her back to 6th grade. -
RILEY: -thanks qirin you are a gem-
ERIDAN: -balancing himself out in the back, ready to defend with one arm on his rifle. HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSES.-
LIFERA: -just kinda joins Eridan there, just in case-
PENNY: -hops up front with Jodie- lets get this shit rollin huh??
QIRIN: ^_^
JODIE: -She's managed to get it WORKING. Ice cream truck noises-
ERIDAN: -side eyes the juggalo ex-empress. Has another moment of disconnecting surrealism.-
[Broom broom. She's in her mum's car.]
LIFERA: 38D
JODIE: bet your sweet ass. everybody in? -
RILEY: yeah! floor it!
ERIDAN: -Still remains... the sound of silence...-
JODIE: haha... ha.... - FLOORS IT. TOWARDS THE WHITEHOUSE. This is her life. -
JODIE: - Not the worst thing she's done with an ice cream truck but at least the worst thing she's done on the white house lawn.-
RILEY: -HOLDING ONTO THE NEAREST PERSON FOR BALANCE-
QIRIN: =It's okay, she's sturdy=
[Once the twins and Roxanne are SECURED, the getaway ice cream truck is now Minnesota bound. For everyone's safety, it's best not to hide out anywhere near here... The campus had been evacuated after the concert, anyway. Just to be safe.]

ATRIUM SECURITY RECORDING 0411
REDGLARE: -She sure looks like hell today. No uniform, no glasses, and half of her face bandaged. Several other patches of gauze on her arms, and her weapon out. She's not so much patrolling as stalking, lips curled just enough to show a few fangs.-(edited)
FEFERI: -Oh, bouy. This doesn't look pretty. Redglare might not be out for patrol but Feferi sure is. Her own uniform is on but she has no weapon. Upon spying Redglare's weapon out, she has no problem approaching her.- ...
FEFERI: You look like you s)(ould be resting.
REDGLARE: -She grunts.- Not3d.
FEFERI: T)(e infirmary kind of sucks, so I understand wanting to come out for a walk. -casual chatter- I've been t)(ere SO many times.
REDGLARE: -She glances at her. A deep breath, then she lets it go. slowly. It's quite a few beats before she manages to respond to her.-
REDGLARE: Qu4rt3rs 4r3 4 m3ss, too.
REDGLARE: H4pp3ns. REDGLARE: B3tt3r to k33p 4n 3y3 on th3 s1tu4t1on. H4. -That 'ha' is perhaps one of the most bitter of single-syllabic utterances she's managed to make in her lifetime.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Elusive clown appearance, frowntown at Redglare while she makes that joke. Strides on up to her side and leans down to look at her face and whistle= joke as rough as you look sister red =nods to Feferi=
FEFERI: -no worries, Redglare. Feferi is also from Alternia and totally gets the need for a morbid joke every now and again. She sneaks her a small, sad smile. At best, hoping it's comforting and that as fucked up as the situation is... she understands.-
FEFERI: Maybe w)(en I'm not on s)(ift, I can... -WOAH, UNCLE CLOWN.-
REDGLARE: B33n busy. -She mutters, eye suddenly finding the presence of cloun. He sure does move quietly and appear SUDDENLY. At least when her mind is this busy.-
HIGHBLOOD: busy draggin your roughed on up ass to and fro to sneer at all anythin that dare pass your singular gaze
HIGHBLOOD: =leans the other way to catch a look at the other side of her face, finger poking her weapon= who you gonna jab on while you still adjustin your cordination and that heavy as hells pusher that took up your pan
HIGHBLOOD: or do it matter who? look like you lookin for a fight, not just that but a fight to lose and that ain't wise
FEFERI: -gives him a look like UNCLE, you don't just ask a troll why they have weapons out. That's so rude.-
HIGHBLOOD: =He is very rude=
REDGLARE: -She wrenches the weapon back from the poke.- Don't. REDGLARE: Don't you l3ctur3 m3. REDGLARE: 4t th1s r4t3, th3 f1ght1ng 1s go1ng to h4pp3n. On3 w4y or 4noth3r. Won't h4v3 to look f4r.
FEFERI: -pouts a little over here but says nothing.-
HIGHBLOOD: it am to come, all the more reason for you to be at your best
HIGHBLOOD: this ain't the best =walks around just off to the side and leans in= what good you doin?
HIGHBLOOD: if you wanna keep busy then there's other shit to be done, stalkin and stewin brewin up in that pissrage don't do you no. good. sis.
FEFERI: -Hehe. He said pissrage.-
REDGLARE: You don't know 4 d4mn3d th1ng. -Her grip tightens around her weapon and she continues to walk, just a little bit faster now.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Looks at Feferi, passes her a hot fresh funnel cake and falls right back in stride with Redglare. Following her with long steps= i know a lil bit
HIGHBLOOD: how to juggle, tell my jesties
HIGHBLOOD: bake my mirthful goods and paint
HIGHBLOOD: rip up a motherfucker in twain multitudes of ways
HIGHBLOOD: know some of other folk, how they act when they desperate and broken up inside, sad as hell eager to do somethin
HIGHBLOOD: fought them kinda motherfuckers and they slip, always do
HIGHBLOOD: always get sloppy, careless and the most they do accomplish in this is make my job easier
HIGHBLOOD: =touches the top of redglare's head, then her shoulders= don't know your pain, it's specific on yourself, but i know you sloppy and that ain't helpin
REDGLARE: -She pulls away from the touch, sneering, glaring. She stops walking, cold and abrupt.-
REDGLARE: 1'm not. REDGLARE: Your fr13nd. REDGLARE: 4nd 1 d1dn't 4sk for your 4dv1c3. REDGLARE: 1 d1d not r3qu3st 4NY counc1l of 4ny k1nd. REDGLARE: 1f th3y'r3 go1ng to w4nt blood, th3n you know 4s w3ll 4s 1 do th3r3 4r3 pl3nty of bl4ck m4rks to 4ccount for. REDGLARE: For both of us.
REDGLARE: -She seems to be breathing heavily and she can hear her own heart pounding.-
CRONUS: -wanders in here looking pretty dazed. He had gone to get breakfast, and had fallen asleep under one of the tables, but now he was awake and heading back to the room-
FEFERI: -was in the middle of sneaking a piece of funnel cake when she spies Cronus- .... -chewing judgementally-
HIGHBLOOD: =There he is, the actual worst spy. Typhon walks around Redglare to get in front of her again= we don't ask for what we need HIGHBLOOD: =sighs and stoops down again= sis you already ain't likin me don't make me make you not like me anymore than you already don't
HIGHBLOOD: your views of our association ain't really my concern as i know but i consider you, somethin enough to piss off and up when needed
HIGHBLOOD: you can't fight like this, thems facts, and i like you alive :o/
CRONUS: -he barely seems to notice her, although he does wander in her direction-
FEFERI: -clips hip against him as he wanders over. She's not sharing her funnel cake.-
CRONUS: hey. vwhats up?
FEFERI: I'm on patrol. -eyeing him- Waterboat you?
REDGLARE: -Her grip on the staff is shaky, hand trembling as her body tenses. She looks almost like she's going to take a swing, but chokes out something halfway between a laugh and a sob.- Th4t's th3 b3st 1've got. Th3 b3st 1've got. Pr3f3r3nc3 to 4 corps3. -She throws the staff on the ground, laughing, maybe, the strangled noise accompanied by the tears leaking from her remaining eye.-
CRONUS: -he gives a lame shrug- vwho evwen knowvs, really? i think i might havwe fell asleep.
HIGHBLOOD: nah it's not the best you got, you also got good jokes sometimes =picks up her staff= you also got this, and some motherfuckers who care if you a corpse or no
REDGLARE: -She sniffles, silently snatching the staff. It disappears into her sylladex.-
FEFERI: -Cronus, you're being lame. Can't you see Redglare is in emotional turmoil? Concerned seadweller clicks over here, just watching from a distance.-
HIGHBLOOD: =She can have it back, slips her a funnel cake also= cmon sis, we both know what's comin you can make it miles easier =gestures her forward=
REDGLARE: -She sighs.- 1'm. T1r3d. -She does, however, slump forward, without resistance.-
CRONUS: -HE CAN B ARELY SEE PAST HIS OWN NOSE-
HIGHBLOOD: yeah you tired =since she doesn't take it he takes the liberty of eating it with one hand and hugging her with his arm. Rest against him tiddies. Then stands still holding her= all the more reason to rest your tired ass and numb that pan with tedious paperworkeries that i been neglectin
FEFERI: -This is cute... Heck.-
REDGLARE: No. C4n't go b4ck to my qu4rt3rs.
HIGHBLOOD: my paperwork ain't in your quarters, keep up tata =Here he go, ambling off with her=
GRANDMA: -a little old lady is huffing through the atrium. she has a lot of feelings right now!! but she doesn't really know what to do with them!!-
JAKE: -scampering after lil old lady- Grandma!
GRANDMA: -BORK. jk.- jake!
GRANDMA: -she stops and turns around to look up at him- i'm sure he's very busy but... do you know where dirk is?
JAKE: Oh dirk? Well its been a crazy whirlwind of sh—
JAKE: Shenanigans! -nice save. He puffs himself at maximum height.- And im afraid to say dirks had his mitts full of the stuff my dear sweet granny!
JAKE: Whats the hullabaloo about specfically?
GRANDMA: it's--!! all this damn unrest around here! i understand it but... but... hurting people because of the beforan empress being here isn't going to solve anything!!
GRANDMA: we can't fight back if we're divided over her! do they even remember WHAT we're fighting?? don't they know who pulled the trigger??
GRANDMA: not just alternia, but that damn condesce and lord english! THEY'RE what we should be worrying about right now! no matter what stupid decisions world leaders are making, those two have the power to destroy planets and they're going to do it again!!
GRANDMA: i need everyone's help here...! i... well... i guess i don't NEED it but... you guys really would've made a difference in taking skaianet back. GRANDMA: rrrg... i'm just so frustrated i can't think straight!! -BORF-
JAKE: -on one hand, seeing Granny so riled up is kind of adorable and on the other, Jake felt like at any moment the tiny old lady was going to wring someone's ear out for the hell there was to pay! And that wasn't going to solve any problems.-
JAKE: -he huffs in kind, crossing his arms.- The way i see it is tensions are running a mile high but losing your head over it isnt going to help calm the storm grinny gran!
JAKE: Although your frustration is perfectly justifiable. Hehe.
JAKE: I think more than a few folks deserve a hard boxing around the ear. Or two! Maybe even three!
GRANDMA: i'll say!! -huffs, but jake is right. she tries to calm down, matching his movements by crossing her own arms.-
GRANDMA: ... i understand why they needed to rescue her... but why is she here? these poor people... they don't need this. :(
JAKE: -strokes his mustache so thoughtully- Well if you ask me. I think...
JAKE: I say it marks unfathomable changes on both sides of the playing board. It might seem like two opposing sides but in reality... its one of the same name and game!
JAKE: -rests fist into his palm- Why are we here gran ma am my lamb? Its a test!
JAKE: A test to see the stuff of what were really made of. Can we really move past our differences and a world of hurt? Can we REALLY become better than our worst enemies?
JAKE: Well shucked fudging corn grandma! I daresay were about to freaking find out!!!!! -throws hands up-
GRANDMA: ... -looks up at him admiringly, a small smile spreading across her lips.- what do you think, jake? do you think we can overcome it?
JAKE: Youre darn right i do! -swoops his arm with much enthusiasm- Together we stand and divided we fall!
JAKE: But our differences are what make us the heroes isnt it? The kind that are worth retelling over and over again. JAKE: Its just a matter of... -twines his fingers as a demonstration.- Remembering that its the same hurt which brought us together in the first place.
JAKE: Right? -hopeful gazes-
GRANDMA: yes... you're right. -touches his arm, eyes crinkling and feeling a little misty. sniffle! it might all be somewhat naive, but this is the sort of thinking she wants to believe in, too. and when jake says it with so much certainty, it becomes a little bit easier to hope for.-
GRANDMA: thank you... i feel a lot calmer now. i just need to think of how to help dirk sort out this mess...
JAKE: Ahhh... maybe...
JAKE: Allowing for a peaceful rally? Or rather...
JAKE: A memorial? A chance for people to grieve over folks theyre hurting over?
GRANDMA: -perks up- that's not a bad idea. would you like to help me organize something like that?
JAKE: Id sure like to try! -beams down at her, pleased that she liked the idea. Jake is a good! He's done a good!!!- JAKE: The sooner the better wouldnt you say?
GRANDMA: -nod nod- agreed!!
GRANDMA: and when you see dirk next, because i'm sure you'll see him before i do... please let him know he's not alone in this. -more arm pats.- we can do this together!
JAKE: Yes i will be sure to! -puffs himself up all over again- Heh! Why its almost enough gumption for me to track the man down right here and now!
JAKE: Actually ive been having quite the knack for that lately. Isnt that strange?(edited)
GRANDMA: hmm... no, i don't think that's strange at all! :P
GRANDMA: i'm sure you're an excellent tracker for one!! and he's your betrothed... i assume that means you understand him well enough to know where to look for him, right? -not actually sure. romance always went over her head honestly.-
JAKE: Well thats one way of looking at it...
JAKE: But technically speaking he really could be any which way around the ship and i wouldnt have a clue about it! JAKE: But ive found him every time. -strokes his chin.- Hm.
JAKE: I wonder if this is a theory that calls for closer investigation.
GRANDMA: :o
GRANDMA: maybe!!
DIRK: -speak of the devil, he's entering the atrium at that moment, looking somber with... someone in handcuffs at his side.-
JAKE: -Immediately turns at the sight of Dirk entering, eager but then pausing at the sight of... who in handcuffs? Oh jeez.-
LIFERA: -She's moving along with him, no real identifiable expression on her face, cuffs around pink-tinted wrists. She is not bothering to look around.-
GRANDMA: !
JAKE: -Well ah... he found him! Ahaha...-
DIRK: -he's avoiding looking anywhere that isn't ahead, as well. he notices jake and grandma there, of course, and as much as he hates to dodge them, he has places to be. detainment, specifically, if that wasn't clear.-
JAKE: -A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. His heart goes out to you, Mr. D.-
GRANDMA: -looks around, wondering if there is anyone else helping him escort her... she's a little concerned for him out in the open like that.- :(
JAKE: -HE CAN HELP. If this is a procession, Jake offers his protective services.-
GRANDMA: -she's coming too!!-
DIRK: -tries very hard to disregard them, but he appreciates the silent support all the same. fambly...-
LIFERA: -Apparently, they've got company, but she doesn't offer them a look. It's better this way.-

Virginia: Day 10
DAVENFORTH: -Does this university have a gym? It better. Well, Dave is in there. Not that you can see him, there's a heavy punching bag taking quite the abuse. There's flurries of hits, but their source can't be seen.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Watching this. He's here. He's maybe always been here. Crunches nacho slowly, loudly.=
DAVENFORTH: -When the fuck did you even get here-
DAVENFORTH: -Flashes in and kicks the bag, sending it flying into a wall. He lands, huffing, sweating.-
QIRIN: =she comes in eventually, sitting quietly on a bench with her hands open in her lap, watching Sonic the Hedgehog beat up a gremlin.=
HIGHBLOOD: =hands Qirin cheesy nacho chips= :o)
DAVENFORTH: -He hasn't noticed the audience yet, walking over and hoisting the bag up, placing it back on its rack.-
QIRIN: =....thanks. She nods and takes it, not wishing to be the one to disrupt the silence.=
HIGHBLOOD: =loudly crunches chip again=
DAVENFORTH: -Looks up. Oh. He gives a sup nod-
HIGHBLOOD: you tirin already brother, shit just got good =eats more chips and nods at him=
QIRIN: =waves gently. hi, she read the news.=
DAVENFORTH: Nah just didnt realize i had an audience
DAVENFORTH: -Rolls his shoulders and goes back to punching the bag, normally this time. He's putting a lot of effort behind these swings, the impacts very audible in the gym-
-----------
ERIDAN: -Somewhere in the first floor of the university science department, a fish troll has made his headquarters. The door of a lab is thrown open while music plays, if it could be called music. It was muffled and the signal was terribe with static. It was obviously a radio hotwired to pick up whatever far off-planet station that dared to air all the way to Earth. A small sign of life in the otherwise gloomy dark school hallways.-
ERIDAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=And-yo5jwko
ROXANNE: -Obviously if she was going to tour around anywhere to distract herself from the stress and danger it would be the science building. It would be like a blast from the past. When Roxanne had still been in school she spent all her time in her campus science department or observatory (good place to study, really quiet.) She walks aimlessly around the empty halls of the first floor peeking in through a window or two until the sound of shitty music gains her attention and she follows it until she is looking in through the open door to the lab.-
ROXANNE: Huh. -Looks like they were re-purposing rooms.-
ERIDAN: -Repurposing the rooms in a manner of speaking. The tables were lined with Eridan's "meager" collection of assault weapons. Everything ranging from harpoon guns to muskets, photon, and of course, the standard automatic was laid out on display.-
ERIDAN: -Eridan himself was half sprawled over the professor's desk, having fallen asleep over maps of the Washington battle grounds next to his honest-to-god duct taped radio hull. The source of the static music.- (zzzz)
ROXANNE: -What a hero, what a pro.-
ROXANNE: -Maybe she should just let him sleep, but tickle her curious at just why he was napping in a slightly redecorated lab while leaving dangerous weaponry about.- ROXANNE: Hm. -She knocks on the frame of the doorway to see if that will wake him up.-
ERIDAN: -SNORTS AWAKE, hunting knife almost instantly in his hand. Maybe he fell asleep with it? He lifts his head to peer blearily around, glasses askew.- zzzuhfuck -Spots Roxanne at the door, eyebrows furrowing until he's giving a mighty stretch at the desk.-
ERIDAN: oh dammit
ERIDAN: justa human -yawns toothily, using the pointy end of the knife to scratch at the base of his horns.- wwhats the commotion
ROXANNE: -Yep just a human 8) -
ROXANNE: -Briefly flinches when he wakes up with a knife of all things.- Jeez ya' expecting certain company with that tooth pick? ...horn pick?
ERIDAN: surprised you aint similar wwise givven your situation -The horn pick feels good actually.... he casually keeps sweeping the blunt end along the wwavvy shape of his horns. The amphibious insectoid that he is, totally half asleep.-
ERIDAN: mess hall aint this wway if youre lookin
ROXANNE: Man I'd be real dumb if I was lookin' for a bite to eat.
ROXANNE: Surprise Im here to steal the guns you left out on the table for absolutely basically anyone to come and get. -jabs a thumb at the arms display. Do you get her point.-
ERIDAN: -gives her this LOOK.- wwhat
ERIDAN: do you think im sendin these folks out there empty handed
ERIDAN: kinda presumptuous a you assumin im runnin that kinda operation here
ERIDAN: takin is wwhat theyre FOR
ROXANNE: Right right i get that, but no sign in sheet or nothin'?
ROXANNE: Dang its like you got no respect for 'em. -Steps all the way in and eyes the collection close up. Some of these are nice.-
ROXANNE: Also seems dangerous.
ERIDAN: yeah probably thats also in essence the point -rubbing his eyes under his glasses and then reaches under his desk. Time to pour himself a drink.-
ROXANNE: -Picks up the automatic and looks it over, is it in good condition?- ROXANNE: Then you run a risky armory.
ERIDAN: meh -Damn. He has no more cups. Just swings back this rock n rye flavored faygo with a grimace.-
ERIDAN: -All the rifles are in good condition. It's one of the few things Eridan gives a shit about enough to invest and maintain.-
ERIDAN: run your owwn armory if you wwanna criticize
ROXANNE: If I had plans ta' stick around i might. We could have a whole competition, best arms dealer wins.
ROXANNE: -Puts down the automatic and picks up the harpoon gun, inspecting it in quite the same manner and then aiming it at the opposite wall. Her finger isnt on the trigger of course, but shes never shot one before and wanted to try holding it.-
ERIDAN: run me outta business fine
ERIDAN: so long as the job gets done -The safety's on and it gleams sharply in the flourescent lighting. A deadly harpoon, especially in the right hands.-
ROXANNE: -Noice. Its got a good weight to it.- Those are the words of someone plannin' on losing.
ROXANNE: -Turns her head to flash him a small smile.- But like i said not stickin' around to do your job for you.
ERIDAN: yeah -What he's agreeing to, it's not apparent. He's just chugging more faygo, eyes drooping heavily.- mmmmh
ERIDAN: ought to pick one you like or somethin
ROXANNE: Hm?
ROXANNE: ....Are you just gonna' give me a gun? -How sleepy IS this guy.-
ERIDAN: -fingers are knotted into his hair as he gives himself a massage around the temples- ...fuckin
ERIDAN: yes i am
ERIDAN: it aint that goddamn complicated sometimes a request or a question is just simple
ERIDAN: not wwarrantin the necessity to react like youre batshit insane
ERIDAN: i already had to deal wwith one a you
ERIDAN: or else just drop it clearly attempts at generosity or concern at you humans just aint wworth it
ROXANNE: Sorry consider me a lil' hesitant around strangers lately.
ROXANNE: Thanks for the offer though, ill take ya' up on it. -Shes putting down the harpoon gun and taking one of the automatics. sure the spear was cool, but this would be a lot more useful later.-
ERIDAN: -reaching under his desk again. This time pulling out a twinkie, peeling apart the wrapper.- least you got your senses about you -mutters.-
ROXANNE: -Tucks that gun away safe and sound in her sylladex now before turning to watch eridan snack.-
ROXANNE: So... besides hand out guns an' chug shitty soda brands, what else do you get up to in here?
ERIDAN: i aint in here most instances
ERIDAN: im out and about runnin the operation a course
ERIDAN: the fuck else wwould i be
ERIDAN: besides sittin square wwith my thumb up my ass
ERIDAN: dealin wwith local patrols and organizin scouts for supplies and shit a that nature
ROXANNE: -She shrugs.- 'Dunno what else you would have been doing thats why I asked.
ROXANNE: -Did they get rid of any of the tech in this lab?-
ERIDAN: -grunts. Nah, they didn't. But they did disembowel the computers for various things. Mainly so they wouldn't be used.-
ROXANNE: -She doesnt care too much about them being gutted, she just wants to look at them. She takes a seat at one of the counter tops and fiddles with the ripped open technology.- Hah. Ya' know its kinda' nice to see that not too much has changed in the sense of the standard open to public campus computers.
ERIDAN: i wwouldnt fuckin knoww
ERIDAN: i aint gone to no humanclad univversity
ROXANNE: You sure missed out then.
ROXANNE: Human uni. is where it is at.
ERIDAN: -just. Stuffs this whole twinkie in his mouth. Chews balefully.- sounds like its a baised drawwn conclusion but alright
ROXANNE: Oh it absolutely is but its also the damn truth.
ROXANNE: You ever had a "Week of Welcome" wherever you studied?
ROXANNE: Its crazy let me tell you.
ERIDAN: -fixes her with a dubious frown.- a wweak of wwelcome sounds like the traditionalistic ritual of testin the constitution newwly ascended trolls
ERIDAN: vvia drowwnin their heads in load gapers and seein if they resuscitate afterwwards
ERIDAN: guess humans got more spine to them than i thought initially
ROXANNE: ......Wowie.
ROXANNE: Nah we didn't do any of that.
ROXANNE: It was basically a week of clubs an' academic society groups tryin' to out-do each other with fun or dumb activities.
ROXANNE: You could pet like seven dogs by the library.
ROXANNE: Or get free pizza or cup cakes for shaking a teachers hand.
ROXANNE: Although sometimes you got to pay $20 to smash a car with a sludge hammer but that was more often around finals.
ERIDAN: so
ERIDAN: youre sayin there aint some kind of mutilation or murder plots invvolvved
ERIDAN: not evven a little
ROXANNE: Not usually.
ERIDAN: evven the recreational shits got some bite to it
ERIDAN: ...huh -sips faygo thoughtfully.-
ROXANNE: Yep. School is a place for petting dogs, makin' the grades, and getting sloshed on a thursday night when you know you have a 8am lecture hall.
ERIDAN: suppose i relate on some level -hmphs, unimpressed.-
ERIDAN: but nothin too solid
ROXANNE: Thats okay. Lets agree to leave it as a cultural difference I guess
ERIDAN: fairs fair -sloshes down the rest of this lukewarm faygo. Disgusting.-
ERIDAN: im eridan
ROXANNE: -If its so gross dont drink it.-
ROXANNE: -She turns around on her stool.- Nice to meet ya'.
ROXANNE: Im Roxanne.
ERIDAN: uh sure -He DOUBTS it's nice to meet him but accepts this introduction anyhow.- dunno if i ought to point it out or nothin ERIDAN: but you aint lookin like the battlefield type so ERIDAN: noww im wonderin wwhat the shit youre doin taggin along the assassination brigade for
ERIDAN: it aint exactly the equivvalent to pizza and pettin puppies or wwhatevver the fuck
ROXANNE: Ya' aint wrong there.
ROXANNE: Its kind of a long story. But to summarize why I'm goin' along on this crazy shoot the duo president mission is to make sure the dad of my infant daughter doesnt get himself killed in the process.
ROXANNE: Plus I got no weekend plans.
ERIDAN: -He understands these words individually and is trying to piece them together into something comprehensible.- so outta obligation to your mate aka the sire a your offspring
ROXANNE: Mmmm, not technically either of those things.
ROXANNE: But close enough.
ROXANNE: Derek is my ex, and we adopted a lil' girl while we were still together.
ERIDAN: so it wwas a beforan style cullin ritual
ERIDAN: wwherein the twwo a you havve obligation ovver some helpless wward
ERIDAN: all the wwhile ditchin wwhat i presume wwas a romantic entanglement
ERIDAN: but its enough for you to pledge loyalty enough to head facefirst into the troll davvy jones locker of suicide missions for
ERIDAN: ...
ERIDAN: wwho the hell is this guy anywway
ROXANNE: Bingo.
ROXANNE: Derek Strider. You'd know him if you met him.
ROXANNE: About yay tall -Gestures the height.- kinda' full of himself.
ROXANNE: Triangle shades.
ERIDAN: oh
ERIDAN: him
ERIDAN: ....
ERIDAN: i dont see it
ROXANNE: -Snrks.- Dont see what? Him being a dad or the relationship?
ERIDAN: wwhy the shit hes wworth you dyin for
ERIDAN: you aint even invvolvved anymore
ERIDAN: the risks real possible just FYI
ERIDAN: but on top of losin a dad your grubs riskin losin its mom too aint it
ERIDAN: wway to fuckin go the both a you
ROXANNE: Yeah i know.
ROXANNE: But hey if we both die then i dont have to tell my baby that her daddy died. -Yes, just smile the real truth away.-
ROXANNE: Nah but... caring about someone can make ya' do crazy shit.
ROXANNE: We may not be together anymore but it doesnt change the fact that I still love him in other ways.
ERIDAN: crazy shit like a plea for attention if i evver fuckin saww it
ERIDAN: hey blowwhole look wwhat im puttin at risk for you
ERIDAN: -snorts- bet he dont appreciate it none
ROXANNE: -Snrks.- Even if it was a cry for attention,
ROXANNE: Which its not.
ROXANNE: He might appreciate it at least a little.
ROXANNE: Or at least feel damn well guilty when its all over, haha.
ERIDAN: not appreciativve enough to vvalue your grubs livvelihood it dont look like ERIDAN: smfh wwhat do i knoww
ERIDAN: just got a general sense a wwhat a guardians supposed to behavve to compare it to
ERIDAN: and i wwas reared by a goddamn skyhorse scrod rest his fuckin soul
ROXANNE: Ya' probably know just about as much about proper parenting as me, to be honest.
ROXANNE: Still workin' on that whole "Perfect suburban mom" deal.
ROXANNE: But he cares about her a lot. I think he just got his head dragged into this mission.
ROXANNE: Keep hoping he's gonna' snap out of it but maybe its his feelings from how hes about to have another baby with his wife that makes him feel like he needs to save the world.
ERIDAN: -grunts- i guess
ERIDAN: still a fuckin shame says i
ERIDAN: pitys gonna only go so far and in the ends its gotta be you and your owwn hide
ERIDAN: the shit youre invvested in or wwhatever
ERIDAN: wwardin the grub
ERIDAN: cant be a bad thing
ERIDAN: but youre wwastin your fuckin energy expectin anybody to change for you wwho aint done shit to try
ERIDAN: except ask you to be there and vvalidate you feelin needed or wwhat not
ERIDAN: makes the cycle addictivve -sighs out, staring off. Time to break out more faygos.-
ROXANNE: Well damn.
ROXANNE: This is some impromptu broken relationship advice or what.
ERIDAN: no -turns to her to deadpan.- its advvice on survvivin past tomorroww
ROXANNE: Oh i know im gonna'.
ERIDAN: the credits goin to you then
ERIDAN: or him rather
ERIDAN: hes the one in the front lines aint he
ERIDAN: suspect much -asks it like a question. Suspect much??-
ROXANNE: Yeah he is.
ROXANNE: But while derek has a big talk I also know he has the skills to back it up.
ROXANNE: And I'm mostly tagging along to provide immediate cover for the kill group.
ERIDAN: right... -Sure Jan. He believes you.-
ROXANNE: What ya' dont believe i can do it?
ERIDAN: wwhats it matter wwhat i think
ERIDAN: im the guy leavvin my wweaponry lyin strewwn about wwilly nilly
ROXANNE: ...... -Chuckles.-
ROXANNE: Fair point.
ERIDAN: -slorps a new faygo. This one a grape flavored one.-
ERIDAN: doesnt matter wwhat i say
ERIDAN: its you and your time and wwho youre puttin it towwards
ERIDAN: hope you get it back at the end of the day is all
ERIDAN: -says this because he's totally judging you, Rox.-
ROXANNE: -Seriously, How many sodas is this guy going to drink.-
ROXANNE: -She shrugs. He is free to judge away, the plan is stupid and risky and she knows that by going into it she might die. But if there was anything she could do to help minimize the chance of any more casualties on this suicide run it would be worth it.-
ROXANNE: Ya' know we've talked a lot about me, but what about you Eridan?
ROXANNE: I could be wrong but ya' dont seem like the type to be visiting earth to get a load of our, albeit currently dying, culture. Is it the soda brands that caught your attention?
ERIDAN: the only thing wworth a damn to come outta earth if you ask me -snarks but it lacks bite. He just shrugs.-
ERIDAN: just so happens i got a free wweekend too
ROXANNE: Aww really? Thats all you enjoy about it?
ERIDAN: you got decent pastries i guess -Don't aww at him...-
ROXANNE: Pastries and soda.
ROXANNE: Well. Everyone's gotta have their favorites.
ERIDAN: sos you
ERIDAN: it just so happens yours got pointshades
ROXANNE: -HRGH.-
ROXANNE: Pft... Nah.
ERIDAN: youd die for it so
ERIDAN: wwheres the fuckin lie tee bee ach
ROXANNE: I'm not going to die for him, because we're not going to die.
ROXANNE: Also like I said before you can care about someone without them being your favorite.
ERIDAN: guess youre right
ERIDAN: wwith that logic im layin my life on the line for a mime
ROXANNE: Is the mime your buddy?
ERIDAN: hell no
ERIDAN: he dont evven like me and frankly i dont care for his foot wwear
ERIDAN: wwho am i kiddin
ERIDAN: at least its consistant -just B/ at himself.-
ROXANNE: Pfft.
ROXANNE: Hilarious. Well I havent met this mime but ill be keepin' an eye out for what shoes he's wearing.
ERIDAN: -lowkey fist clenching memes.- youll see it

Virginia: Day 3
TAKODA: -they're all fueled up again and he's back to driving, but he's found another place for them to stop while he tries to figure out the best route to minnesota. he's noticed that a lot of major highways are blocked off by the military, so... it's probably best to avoid those. even if the condesce wants to toy with them as she is, there's no way of predicting anyone else's behavior.-
DEREK: -meanwhile, he's hovering around his brother. takes a seat next to him wherever he's at.- Hey.
DAVENFORTH: -He's been sitting here, thinking too much. Help him. At least his brother is here.- Sup
DEREK: ... I dunno about you but Ive been thinkin a lot about the news.
DAVENFORTH: Nah i havent thought about it even once in fact id forgotten about it entirely
DEREK: Yeah ok.
DEREK: So whats your plan? I know youve got one.
PENNY: -slides closer from like two seats away- what news?
DAVENFORTH: What do you mean are you really asking me if im a bad enough dude to assassinate the presidents
DAVENFORTH: Because thats not even on the table look at every card and lo and behold it aint there conveniently missing like the last piece of the puzzle
DEREK: ...
DEREK: -looks at penny- Dual juggalo presidents.
PENNY: ... -snrk-
PENNY: yall just found out that happened?
DAVENFORTH: Yeah
DEREK: Cant say Ive had much opportunity to keep on top of all the bullshit goin down here.
PENNY: hoo boy well.
PENNY: welcome to the new United States of Whatever.
RILEY: -she was dead asleep, and suddenly, she wakes up. sleeping on a party bus is great. she stretches a little before noticing that penny is talking to Derek and davenforth, but it's hard to know if it's a step forward or backward. which is why she's conveniently pretending to not pay attention but in reality is intensely eavesdropping-
DAVENFORTH: This is my united states of whatever
PENNY: -she still hasn't quite figured out that Derek is her Boy. she's been avoiding looking at Riley a little too much.-
PENNY: and then up comes Zafo and Im like yo Zafo whats up hes like nothin and Im like thats cool.
PENNY: ok but really.
PENNY: the whole things a joke and everybody knows it.
PENNY: but not even a good one.
DAVENFORTH: Pretty dangerous joke
DAVENFORTH: Your new buddy back there finds their very existence offensive
PENNY: yeah well Im more scared of what were doing right now than the clowns sitting in the White House.
PENNY: literal clowns.
DAVENFORTH: Those clowns are a lot more dangerous than you think
RILEY: -why does jodie love the clowns so much-
PENNY: Im a lot more dangerous than they think.
PENNY: theyre just human anyway.
DAVENFORTH: Ill let you fight em then
DEREK: Yeah but. Humans appointed by the queen bee bitch herself no doubt. DEREK: Clearly theyre influencin the populous into a compliant lifestyle under her rule.
DAVENFORTH: Anyway i think we should make a pit stop on the way to minnesota
DAVENFORTH: Let condy were coming
PENNY: oh sure. PENNY: Id love to punch a juggalo in the dick.
DAVENFORTH: Well
DAVENFORTH: Thats good to hear
TAKODA: -glances back at them- UM... NOT TO EAVESDROP, BUT 1 TH1NK WE M1GHT HAVE TO PASS THROUGH D.C. ANYWAY... MOST OF THE H1GHWAYS ARE BLOCKED... ER. THERE ARE TOLLS, BUT, 1'VE BEEN AFRA1D TO... SEE WHAT 1T 1S THEY'RE CHARG1NG... TAKODA: BUT WE ARE CLOSE TO THE CAP1TAL... 1 GUESS WE M1GHT AS WELL... STOP THERE... -doesn't seem keen on the idea though-
HIGHBLOOD: to eavesdrop, weren't like it wasn't gonna already get up and goin on, bein in the middle of that route makes shit easier =Dueces from the back=
PENNY: WOOOOOO!!!!
DAVENFORTH: Kill the figureheads and send the heart a message
DAVENFORTH: She can be touched
PENNY: fuck troll booths GO JOHN WILKES BOOTH.
RILEY: -done with eavesdropping apparently- are we assassins now?
MAYOR: -produces a burger King crown and stomps on it on the floor. NO MASTERS. NO KINGS.-
DEREK: Lil dude knows whats up.
PENNY: YEEAAHHH BOIII.
DEREK: -to be fair riley some of us here have always been assassins.-
DAVENFORTH: -Sweats-
RILEY: -WELL I HAVENT-
QIRIN: =she has almost been assassinated several dozen times. does that count as experience?=
RILEY: -aside from assassinating the abstract concepts of family-
PENNY: -YOU DID SUCCEED AT THAT-
QIRIN: =ladies=
PENNY: so whats the plan? how are we doing it?
RILEY: anarchy.
HIGHBLOOD: you'll find the how's always changin sis HIGHBLOOD: best to do it, get it done cause ain't no event can be planned down
DAVENFORTH: Especially not with clowns in the mix
DAVENFORTH: Trust me we got this
PENNY: so were driving the party bus into the White House. got it.
TAKODA: (UHH...)
HIGHBLOOD: hell yeah
DAVENFORTH: Not quite but close
TAKODA: (OH... THAT'S A REL1EF... PROBABLY?)
RILEY: but still with a bang.
TAKODA: ST1LL... 1T WOULD PROBABLY BE ADV1SABLE, 1F WE HAD SOME K1ND OF PLAN, BEFORE WE ROLLED 1NTO THE CAP1TAL... -fidgets nervously-
RILEY: no plan. everyone for themselves. if our plans contradict each other's and we all die, oh well.
HIGHBLOOD: amen sis, everybody's gotta go sometime
RILEY: -oh my god he's being serious-
HIGHBLOOD: :o)
TAKODA: ...
RILEY: that is not actually what i think we should do.
RILEY: just putting that out there.
HIGHBLOOD: =Is he? Who knows= here i was under some mass assumption that the ones all up without alla that gumption and fight experience was gonna leap they asses into the fray wills n nills flung about
DEREK: -snickers. oops.-
RILEY: -unimpressed face at derek-
DEREK: -love u...-
RILEY: -UH HUH-
DEREK: -just winks-
RILEY: -acts like she's pushing her hair out of her face but she is only using her middle finger-
DAVENFORTH: I could probably get in easy enough by myself
DAVENFORTH: Doubt the security is much of anything
HIGHBLOOD: =sNRK, they really aren't much of anything he's sure=
RILEY: don't play the hero. -THIS AINT OVERWATCH AND YOU ARE NOT A BAD GENJI-
DAVENFORTH: Hardly playing hero
RILEY: then who's gonna be your backup?
DEREK: That would be me.
RILEY: then who's going to be YOUR back up?
DAVENFORTH: We got each others backs thats three sixty coverage
DAVENFORTH: We could take molly hes rowdy enough -That's you ghb-
HIGHBLOOD: i was already headed there but i could leave a trail for y'all :oP =eats nachos at=
PENNY: alright well I call dibs on the getaway bus.
RILEY: can we make sure my kid has a dad and an uncle and a...big clown guy by the time we leave D.C.? no stupid reckless shit.
DEREK: Baby please when have I ever been reckless?
PENNY: -side eyes-.........
PENNY: kid?
HIGHBLOOD: =eats these nachos and watches this=
RILEY: all the fucking time. -glances at penny- yeah. kid.
DEREK: --
DAVENFORTH: Pretty sure lif would kill me if i died
PENNY: -she's real quiet now, staring at the floor of the bus.-
RILEY: hilarious. -she notices penny's demeanor change and isn't quite sure why, but figuring out her sister now isn't as easy it was when sadness went away with hugs and singing made her happy-
PENNY: -She's working her jaw and tapping her foot as the seconds and the minutes go by, and then before long she hops up and rushes to the little bus bathroom, clanging the door shut behind her.-
DEREK: -watches her storm off- ... -looks back at riley-
RILEY: -also watches- well, shit.
DAVENFORTH: Damn
ROXANNE: -With the sound of the bus bathroom door shutting she starts to wake up from her nap in the back of the bus. Why people gotta be noisy.-
LIFERA: -probably snuggled up to Roxanne too. It's a cuddle nap party in the back of the bus.-
ROXANNE: -Sits up some more only to have the donuts GHB apparently stacked on her head while she was out topple onto her lap.- ........... -blinks at them.-
ROXANNE: -Also heck, fish queen is adorable, shes taking care not to wake her as she sits up and quietly stretches.-
HIGHBLOOD: =In which case Lifera has donuts on her horns=
ROXANNE: -That... is amusing.- ROXANNE: -Okay time to stretch her legs, she carefully gets up from the back of the bus snuggle pile and moves herself forward towards the rest of the awake people.- ROXANNE: -Sits and dusts donut crumbs off herself.- So. Miss anything interestin'?
DEREK: Only that were gonna storm the white house and assassinate the presidents.
ROXANNE: ....Are we bein' serious or not in saying that?
RILEY: -her mind's a little elsewhere and she keeps having to focus on not looking at the bathroom door.-
ROXANNE: -Maybe Riley needs a nap. Naps are pretty relaxing. Just look how calm Roxanne is right now.-
RILEY: -NOBODY ASKED YOU ROXANNE!!!!!!-
DEREK: I cant believe yall are accusing me left and right of taking such serious subjects lightly. Unbelievable.
ROXANNE: Thats not technically an answer.
ROXANNE: Just want to be clear on whatever plan people are makin' up when im snoozing.
RILEY: baseless accusations. -she's gonna move next to Derek because too many feelings about family right now.-
ROXANNE: -Props her feet up on the empty seat next to her.-
DEREK: -wraps an arm around riley. relax, babe.- For real though thats the plan. DEREK: Were right on the Capitals doorstep. In the middle of a war. The Condesce thinks she can do whatever the fuck she wants with any idiot working under her. DEREK: Might as well send her a message.
RILEY: -leans against him.- they wanna fuck shit up.
ROXANNE: -Mmmmm, she certainly feels conflict over this idea. On one hand, earth is her home and damn right shes all for getting rid of this clown presidency bullshit. However, her biggest priority is to find and get back to her loved ones asap...-
ROXANNE: I get the sentiment.
ROXANNE: You make it sure sound easy though.
DAVENFORTH: Its just juggalos how hard could it be
ROXANNE:
President
juggalos. Even Trump had protection.
DEREK: Yeah but Derek and Davenforth Strider werent alive back then. -this cocky motherfucker-
ROXANNE: -He is the most cocky.- ROXANNE: Mmmhm.
DEREK: -more winking-
ROXANNE: -Manboy please.-
JODIE: -burps-
ROXANNE: -Side eyes Jodie at the burp.-
JODIE: scuzie.
HIGHBLOOD: blame it on the bubbly sis =he's probably shared faygo with her=
JODIE: i thought y'all would be more anxious to reunite with yer kid.
ROXANNE: I sure am.
ROXANNE: No offense to porrim but my skin has been crawlin' knowin russet is on the ship without at least one of us.
QIRIN: =has she been pacing? yup=
JODIE: sorry...kids.
DAVENFORTH: -Sighs-
RILEY: we are all very far apart i think so... i'm not sure this detour will take away much time at all.
JODIE: yeah. 'caus eoverthrowin the government is really just a pit stop.
ROXANNE: It's goin' to take more time them going straight there.
ROXANNE: Also there is the whole.
ROXANNE: I dunno' chance of dying?
DAVENFORTH: Jinjin is in good hands besides what were doin is gonna help make a better place for them to grow up
JODIE: do you really think everythin is gonna work out exactly as you plan it to. -just staring flatly-
DEREK: Yep.
ROXANNE: -She's with you Jodie.-
JODIE: i mean you're the ninja's not me.
RILEY: ain't dave in alaska? and dirk is in the black hole of texas.
JODIE: 'sides it hought you all were apart of a crew but i don't see you askin permission.
DAVENFORTH: Im real bad at doing that
ROXANNE: Wow the confidence is unreal. -She's a little salty that Derek isn't more anxious to get back to his kids.-
DAVENFORTH: Ask my nephew
JODIE: sounds like arrogant, poorly planned bs.
JODIE: this is just a testosterone-fest.
JODIE: -snorts-
DAVENFORTH: No this is about sending a fucking message
JODIE: don't try to make it seem all noble. at lesat be honest. haha.
DEREK: -naturally he's anxious to see them, but he's with his brother here...-
RILEY: -watches jodie-
ROXANNE: -Stand up to your brother-
DEREK: -why would he stand up to him when he agrees with him??-
HIGHBLOOD: =Plays tense, appropriate music for the bickering humans. Tramatic muffled trumpet softly in the bg=
DAVENFORTH: This is about telling her that were not standing for this bullshit she knows were coming but shes gonna know were coming with a goddamn vengeance im not gonna let my daughter grow up in the grips of a galaxy that despises her fuckin existence and im damn sure not gonna let her live with the same bullshit ive gone through
JODIE: -sad trombone would be more fitting in her opinion-
DAVENFORTH: If youve got a problem youre welcome to walk
JODIE: i'm just sayin, you can't go around claiming this is the best plan for everyone. it's just the best plan for yer ego.
JODIE: i ain't going anywhere.
JODIE: i don't have any special powers. and i ain't got no leg to stand on when it comes to decision making. i'm barely a crew member.
ROXANNE: Im siding with Jodie on this. ROXANNE: Im really all for taking the ax to this new government, but we've got other issues to deal with first.
ROXANNE: We can meet up with everyone else and regroup an attack later.
DAVENFORTH: You can go too i dont give a shit
ROXANNE: Right now we are spread thin, with no back up, no intell. And like hell you two are doin' it on your own.
JODIE: -just snort laughs.-
JODIE: well, there wasn't no harm in trying. -JUST CHINHANDING.-
DAVENFORTH: Im not askin for backup and im not asking you to be alright with it ill go it alone if i goddamn have to but im not just gonna let this woman have her way with earth like she has every other planet
DAVENFORTH: Shes fucking playing us
DAVENFORTH: Weve lost too much we hold dear
DAVENFORTH: Its her fucking turn
ROXANNE: -Stares straight at Derek like "Can you believe this??"-
JODIE: -shrugalugs at riley and then just sprawls over the bus seat again.-
DEREK: -sorry ro...- We gotta pass through DC regardless so.
DEREK: Maybe yall dont wanna go with us but aint nothin gonna stop me and him from trying.
QIRIN: | )
ROXANNE: -STARES HARDER.-
DAVENFORTH: Just drop us off fuck it
ROXANNE: Derek. You got one infant girl on a ship hundreds of miles away. ROXANNE: And another unborn baby sittin' right next to you.
ROXANNE: ...Are you actually bein' serious right now???
ROXANNE: You can be as confident as you want but you know going through with that plan means you might Die right?
DAVENFORTH: Third times the charm -Scoffs-
JODIE: if you can't convince em not to do it, you should try to minimize the damage.
QIRIN: >_> =what did u say=
DAVENFORTH: -YOU HEARD HIM-
RILEY: -she doesn't know exactly what to say here. she considers herself stuck either way. There's no winner here. Some of the most stubborn people she knows are in this bus. she sighs, rubbing her own neck-
DEREK: -stfu dave u ain't dying.-
JODIE: -looking at Roxanne- you're a smart lady arentcha. they'd have a better chance of survivin if you helped.
QIRIN: Is the term not "three strikes, you are out"?
ROXANNE: -Side eyes Jodie even more.- Of course im helpin' if he goes through with this stupid plan.
JODIE: cool beans.
DEREK: -scoffs a little. incredible...-
DEREK: Well yeah Im goin through with it.
ROXANNE: Maybe hopefully he'll realize how crazy this is if both of Russet's parents are at risk--
ROXANNE: -YOU ARE REALLY TESTING HER DEREK.-
RILEY: -while they're talking, she moves Derek's arm off of her and walks off where she sits in the back-
ROXANNE: -Her eyes follow Riley, shes pretty miffed she didn't say anything in this argument.-
JODIE: -she's also judging riley for this tbh-
JODIE: -but she's already accepted her fate. she's doing all she can to help, at least for jamie's sake.-
DAVENFORTH: -He's quiet. Thinking about his two daughters. How condy's reign would mean their literal deaths.-
QIRIN: =She's thinking utter subjugation and ruin of her people=
QIRIN: =though both are not pretty thoughts=
RILEY: -she thinking about history repeating itself and how truly fucked they'll all be this time-
DAVENFORTH: -But he's also thinking about Beforus, Europa, the people here on Earth. How much would it mean to end the figureheads of their subjugation. Would it spur them on to fight? Would Condy's grasp on Earth slip even a little bit?-
JODIE: -She's thinking about how aginst this James would be.-
JODIE: -Sorry charlie!-
JODIE: -If somebody stronger was here in her eplace.-
RILEY: -she wasn't thinking about the consequences much before. but where the hell is she going to have to wait around while all this happens?-
DAVENFORTH: I think everyone who doesnt want in should continue to minnesota
RILEY: -from the back, a little irritated- and wait?
JODIE: no. i'm gonna help. -SPITEFUL-
JODIE: -maybe you get to do this, but she's not going to let you HAVE this-
DAVENFORTH: Thats your choice
DAVENFORTH: You just gonna wait in dc riley
JODIE: -She's liking Davenforth less and less all the time. Stupid jerk.-
RILEY: i don't fucking know. i sure as hell ain't going out of state away from you three while you try to pull this off.
DAVENFORTH: -It's fine he's used to it-
RILEY: i don't want to leave anybody behind.
DAVENFORTH: I respect that
DAVENFORTH: I dont want yall in danger for somethin you didnt sign up for i aint forcin that on anyone but im doin this
ROXANNE: Do you honestly think you would be doing it alone. Not everyone on this bus is okay with letting some of us go on a possible suicide mission.
DAVENFORTH: You should know me by now ro
JODIE: -Snorts.- so charitable.
RILEY: look, if i didn't have a tiny person inside of me, then i'd jump in and help.
ROXANNE: Guess I thought I did. -She shrugs.-
ROXANNE: Im doin' it with you two, but im not happy 'bout it. Actually Im pretty pissed.
ROXANNE: We do live through this I'm kicking your asses myself after we get back to the ship.
QIRIN: =clears her throat after a very long time of being quiet= I would like to hear more of this plan of yours if you or...we are to go through with this.
DAVENFORTH: Everyones kicking my ass after this one probably
TAKODA: -all these bad vibes... he's just going to go back to driving since they uh... have a plan now, he guesses. he's mostly uneasy because he knows, as a part of the resistance, they should take an opportunity as it's presented to them...-
RILEY: -rubbing her forehead-
DEREK: -his guilt isn't obvious, but it's definitely there. he doesn't want to endanger anybody here, and it ain't as if he wants to orphan any of his kids, but... sometimes you gotta follow your gut. he's just keeping quiet for now.-
RILEY: -she puts her hood of the jacket she's wearing up and turns so that she's watching everything pass by, damn hormones and emotions making her eyes all watery-
JODIE: -drinks-
RILEY: -IF ONLY SHE COULD-

Virginia: Day 2
DAVENFORTH: -Here they are, on the road. The trees wiz by as Takoda rolls them along. Davenforth is awake right now, watching the scenery and trying to figure out exactly what the fuck is going on while a cold fish cuddles and snoozes on while being covered in various warming apparel-
MAYOR: -chewing on a delicious seat-
HIGHBLOOD: =The warm smell of a hot, fresh banana cream pie slowly seeps from the back=
RILEY: -she awakens to the smell of banana cream pie, opening her eyes from a snoring and drooling deep sleep against derek. she sits up and tiredly looks around for the source-
HIGHBLOOD: =its him, or rather the pie on the little table he's got propped up over his lap. A bowl of sliced bananas next to it, he lays the slices gently on the whipped surface of the pie=
DAVENFORTH: -Grumbles something about "clown magic" -
QIRIN: =Softest of tummy gurgles.=
QIRIN: =Gently places a hand over her own face.=
MAYOR: -all you SUCKERS can get hungry over pies if you want. It's not even green?-
HIGHBLOOD: =he might have green pies, who knows=
DAVENFORTH: -He really wouldn't recommend eating a juggalo party bus seat. Do you know what's been on these things?-
PENNY: -wakes up next to the mayor and groaaans. She is not feeling too hot right now. Also reaches over and tries to push the Mayor away from his seat eating.- dude no thats so gnarly.
DAVENFORTH: Marinated in sex sweat and faygo
GAIZKA: =Sleeping Meditating under a pile of those fuzzy rainbow robes. Legs kickied up against the side wall of the bus. Flicks an ear.= GAIZKA: only MoThErFuCkInG marinade WhAt will Do. =Tired bemused mumbling.=
QIRIN: Ugghhghghg

DAVENFORTH: -Answer the question. Also he will eat that entire pie-
GAIZKA: =Shrugs a shoulder underneath the pile.= if so a HoLy BrOtHeR pReAcH. =You do you man. Everyone just feel yourselves.= GAIZKA: magnets got tHeM mAgNeTiC aEsThEtIc AtTrAcT themselves some FrEnEtiC.
DAVENFORTH: -This is why he likes you Gaizka-
PENNY: bro........... PENNY: hey big guy are you sharing that pie? I think this dude needs it more than anybody.
MAYOR: -EXCUSE-
DAVENFORTH: Thats just how he eats
PENNY: Im gonna call bullshit on the whole concept of eating then.

GAIZKA: =Shakes his head out of the pile to peer at the muffins placed upon him. He's just gonna help himself, thanks brosef.= GAIZKA: =Holds a muffin up in Lifera's direction and tilts his head quizzingly. Why the grumpy glubs? Have a muffin.=
DAVENFORTH: -Trying his best to keep Lifera as warm as possible.-
RILEY: -keeps completely still- is there a pie on my head or am i still asleep?

TAKODA: -still driving- }8) -he's smiling, wide eyed and trying to stay awake.-

TAKODA: ... TAKODA: THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE W1SE, 1F WE SW1TCHED...
DAVENFORTH: Get some rest buddy -Smooches Lifs head and gets up to head up front-
TAKODA: -pulls off to the side of the road at the first opportunity-
GAIZKA: =Looks over Liffy while she glances away. Does her hair need a brushin'..?=
DAVENFORTH: -He is the captain now, and he takes a seat, getting them moving again. Where even are they headed? We just don't know, but it would probably be wise to stop at a gas station soon-
QIRIN: =they can always grab a hose and steal gas=
QIRIN: =she was a teenager, once=
GAIZKA: =One does not simply stop being a teenager.=
TAKODA: -wanders towards the back with the clowns and finds himself a seat. he should sleep but... now that he's not distracted by driving his thoughts are racing. darn it.-
GAIZKA: =Welcome to Clowntown. Have a rainbow robe. He drapes it around Takoda's shoulders while humming. Strategically sings out some of the lyrics lowkey.= (can't you see, you're my delight,) =Hum hum.= (just feel like, i won't get you, out of my mind.) =What's up here come dat thought and it's gay as hell.=
TAKODA: -geez... he's still not used to being spoiled with affection like this.- HEHEHE... THANK YOU...

GAIZKA: yeah? how you ReCkOn that NoIsE AlLs up work? need HiM some PaCiN' or be ThEm ReStLeSs NoTeS of the MiNdSpAcE?
LIFERA: -her hair always needs brushing and is just past her shoulders now... it grows fast. She's spying on those two now, and maybe sliding closer. Lend her your warmth and your cuteness.-
LIFERA: 38)
TAKODA: 1T'S, UH, 1N THE HEAD, MOSTLY... -notices lifera APPROACHING- TAKODA: ... H1.
GAIZKA: seem none act keep SuChIn ThOuGhT FlOw WaNdErInGs at bay. =Sees Lifera slide n scoot on over, and thus lifts one of his big barrel arms. He's big enough for everyone to lend warmth to.=
GAIZKA: and this HoMeTtE? got just them BoD wAnDeRs or MiNd Be AlL iNcLuSiVe?
LIFERA: -squirms her round little self under his arm and snugs close, sighing.- Oh, I'm all thought out, I'm shore. My little ones are taken care of...
LIFERA: -And she's pretty prepared to throw herself into any oncoming frays, swords, bullets, etcetera. She doesn't really need to think much for that.-
GAIZKA: =Lowers his arm to wrap around her once she's snug like a bug in a rug.= AlLs them LiL ThOuGhTwAvEs done up and gone with themselves on the MoThErFuCkInG breeze. i feel you SiStEr.
DAVENFORTH: -Driving gives him time to focus, which for Dave maybe isn't the best thing but oh well. Earth was radically different since he last visited, and he still had no clue what was going on. Undoubtedly, Condy was behind the madness but...why split them up like this but leave them with means of communication? Was she that cocky? Taking a look at their fuel gauge, he figures they have a few more hours of travel time. He'll stop at the nearest gas station when he sees it.-
RILEY: - are you trying to focus Dave because get ready to be brocused. That pie she had is destroyed by now with no trace left. She plants herself in the seat nearest to the drivers- hey.
PENNY: -YEAH YOU GO UP THERE. She's gonna make herself cozy with the grand pieblood too.-
RILEY: -we got a mutual friend now suck on that-
LIFERA: Glub...
LIFERA: I just want to help in whatebber way is N-E-ED-ED.
LIFERA: I don't think my other skrills are of much use here.
PENNY: -GAAAHHHH-

HIGHBLOOD: =If she really is peeping at him he's downing a 2 liter of faygo like its nothing.... which incomparison to him..... it isn't. Peace signs at her=

HIGHBLOOD: tend to be an agreeable motherfucker what with all mine charm and beauty =chinhands=
PENNY: you are hella both in large quantities to no ones surprise. pretty sure everything about you is large. -eats pie contemplatively.-
HIGHBLOOD: in comparison and proportion :o)
PENNY: okay so real question. how many of these pies could you put down?
HIGHBLOOD: damn...... i mix varieties up in my eatins don't gorge on a single thing till a brofo am full....

MAYOR: -percussions on the cans-
DAVENFORTH: -He appreciates the irony but he needs a cigarette-
HIGHBLOOD: =He's fuckin it up on the sax, its just giving you too much life Davenforth=
DAVENFORTH: -A bowl. He needs a bowl. But he doesn't want to lose his focus. He doesn't fight as well under the influence as he used to...-
HIGHBLOOD: =Haha you're old=
DAVENFORTH: -No he just leads a more sober lifestyle-
PENNY: -OLD AS FUCK.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Both, but good on you man. This one goes out to you. Doots soulfully=
RILEY: that sax though.
RILEY: -with all the ruckus at least she can talk to him- you doing okay?

DAVENFORTH: Schrodingers asshole
RILEY: wow. that makes so much sense.
DAVENFORTH: I was my own agent
DAVENFORTH: I never revealed dave skellingtons identity to the public
DAVENFORTH: And when he got assassinated i was around him but my death was never confirmed just presumed
RILEY: damn. i should have done that. pulled a hannah montana like you did.
DAVENFORTH: It made shit stupid difficult
RILEY: yeah probably because literally everyone knew who you were.
DAVENFORTH: I worked hard for it
RILEY: weren't there like babies whose first words were dave?
DAVENFORTH: Probably
RILEY: -she pauses- you got a killer headache, huh?
DAVENFORTH: You dont want your babies first word to be dave
RILEY: -there it is- nope.
DAVENFORTH: Sucks to be you
RILEY: there's no possible way that's happening.
DAVENFORTH: -Shrugs-

JODIE: - she's barely even conscious and she already wants this in her body-
RILEY: nice. great categories. -lifts her head- okay who fucking has pizza?
QIRIN: =I do. An imaginary one.=
DAVENFORTH: -Babe chill-
RILEY: wait. -groans- blaming my bad sense of smell on the baby.
JODIE: - she wants REAL pizza-
DAVENFORTH: I mean they were right werent they
RILEY: close enough. i don't think i was voted into anything. it would have been most likely to go to juvie for truancy.
JODIE: anybody got some water?
JODIE: -HER VOICE IS HOARSE. she got black out drunk and is now reaping the benefits.-
RILEY: -GIRL-
JODIE: -rubbing eyes.-

QIRIN: If I may interject... Perhaps slower consumption will aid you better...
JODIE: that was like a pre-party. imma wait til we have something to celebrate before i pull out all the stops.
JODIE: -GLUG GLUG???-
QIRIN: =mainly she doesn't want her to choke=
RILEY: you can't get her to slow down.
RILEY: it's impossible.
JODIE: -drinks half the bottle and passes it on back-
JODIE: -fishes in her purse and reapplies lip balm- thanks bby.
QIRIN: It's quite all right, please keep it. =YOU MAY NEED IT LATER=
JODIE: oh sweet. after i drink it all i can pee in the bottle.
JODIE: save us time.
JODIE: -TOSSES IT IN HER PURSE-
QIRIN: =frog god help her=
JODIE: i swear i can get it all in without a stray drop. it's a talent.
DAVENFORTH: Theres a bathroom -If you can call it that-

RILEY: a bottle actually might be preferable.
JODIE: -MIGHT BE A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE CAN'T SHOW OFF HER TALENT.-
RILEY: -has to pee aLL THE TIME THANKS RYAN-
RYAN: -rihanna winks from the womb-
RILEY: -GIRL!!!!-
DAVENFORTH: -Hark! Is that a gas station he sees in the distance?-
RILEY: -PLEASE JESUS-
DAVENFORTH: -Indeed it is! Davenforth pulls into the station. Is it abandoned we just don't know yet.-
DEREK: -eyes out the window-
DAVENFORTH: Alright kids its time for a rest
RILEY: i'm really fucking hungry. does this place have those rent a showers? not like i have any earth money on me. do they accept that anymore?
DAVENFORTH: -Shrugs-
QIRIN: What of trading?
RILEY: -blinks at qirin for a moment- oh. yeah! that.
DEREK: -stands up and stretches-
DAVENFORTH: Pretty sure they dont accept third borns
DAVENFORTH: Lets see if this place isnt abandoned first -Looks at Derek like you coming with?-
RILEY: -she's already walking out the bus-
DEREK: -HELL YEAH HE IS. nods at the brother and trots on after-
DAVENFORTH: -Hops off the bus-
DAVENFORTH: So if there aint anyone in there you think you remember how to do that thing behind the counter to get free gas
RILEY: -there better be some FOOD IN HERE-
DEREK: Sure I do. -ok hand- I got this.
RILEY: get us some fuel, baby.
DAVENFORTH: -Heads on in-
DAVENFORTH: Anybody home
RILEY: -curiously looks around. what's this place look like anyway-
QIRIN: Honestly. At the very least write an IOU.
DAVENFORTH: -It's much akin to a good sized seven eleven. Hot dog and pizza machine, aisles of snacks with the cooler section in the back with drinks. There's even a tv on the wall with the latest news. Everything is up and running but Davenforth notes it's quiet-
QIRIN: =what's on the telly?=
RILEY: -if there's no one in here she's gonna take some shit and run. she's checking some expiration dates on some chips to make sure-
DAVENFORTH: -Deez nuts-
DEREK: -peeks behind the counter casually. nobody's there, but maybe they're just in the bathroom or the back room or something. either way, he's hopping over the counter to do his thing.-
DAVENFORTH: -There's probably something on tv about policies the New dual juggalo presidents are going to be enacting. Boring stuff honestly. Oh yeah, Two juggalos won the presidency. Davenforth is trying to figure out how to make some tea for folks. Everyone is cold.-
RILEY: -she's stuffing her arms full of stuff like cheap hot dogs and sandwiches and donuts and a whole bunch of shit before just straight up slippin it in the sylladex. there's a bathroom and she's going to take this opportunity while it's here. tHERE sHE GOES-
DAVENFORTH: I can see why you married her
DEREK: -grins as he watches her go. she scurry.- Yeah... We used to get into all kinds of shit back in the way.
DAVENFORTH: Youre always getting into shit -He too, is stuffing his sylladex full of shit, non perishable food, water, Gatorade, microwavable burritos and pizza rolls...until he actually hears the named shaggy 2 dope and violent j. Now the tv has his full fucking attention-
RILEY: -busts out of the restrooms- okay, guys, i-- -she sees dave looking at the tv so she also is looking at the tv and not believing anything she's seeing right now-
QIRIN: =trying to ignore all this petty crime happening=
QIRIN: Can you believe it? =She's paritially asking herself that question=
DAVENFORTH: That would explain the rise of the juggalos
RILEY: -frowns- you sure this isn't one of those sketch comedy shows? or a mockumentary?
DAVENFORTH: Afraid not
DEREK: -furrows brows at the tv- Whats the point of fucking the planet over to this degree? Did all the Alternian imperialized planets get this kinda treatment?
RILEY: this is fucking ridiculous. how is this a thing? who made this a thing?

Virginia: Day 1
[One instant they're on the ship, and the next they're someplace else entirely. They seem to be outside, among trees, the forest floor covered in a small blanket of snow. For those who look around, they will see not everyone from the UU is present. Only Davenforth, Derek, Riley, Penny, Roxanne, Takoda, Gaizka, Lifera, Qirin, the Mayor, and the Grand High Blood. If they check, all their belongings they had on them before will still be there. Comm devices, anything in their sylladex, and even their strife specibus is intact.]
DAVENFORTH: -Okay what the fuck. First, he was waiting for some heartwarming family reunion to be over and next he's peeling himself off the forest floor. Been a long time since he had this sensation. Groggy, he stands, taking in his location and those around him. Shit.-
LIFERA: -DOOF. She certainly wasn't prepared for something this inane to happen, and she's glad she didn't equip her 2x3dent in the midst of all this. But this is.... suddenly incredibly cold, and she hisses, pushing herself up out of the snow and shivering immediately.-
ROXANNE: -Oh likewise Davenforth, but also seriously what the actual fuck. Can't there be a few hour period of family reunions WITHOUT things going to all hell in exchange like what the shit. Roxanne is sitting up and trying to adjust to the swimming headache that comes with being unceremoniously dumped with teleportation into some strange forest.- Ngh..
PENNY: -She's stumbling until she plops right back on her butt, dropping the cigarette she was holding and watching it fizzle out in the snow.- FUCK.
MAYOR: -FLAILS AROUND. WHAT IS THIS WHITE NONSENSE. WHAT MANNER OF TRAP HAS HE BEEN TELEPORTED TO-
LIFERA: A)(--!
HIGHBLOOD: =Man he was braiding his hair.... what the hell=
QIRIN: =She miraculously managed to land on her feet during this=
DAVENFORTH: Well at least everyone is awake
HIGHBLOOD: =Keeps braiding and looks around=
DAVENFORTH: -Sees Lifera though. Walks over and uncaptchas an extra coat, offering it to her.-
QIRIN: =immediately begins to peel people off the ground if they are still getting themselves acquainted to it.=
QIRIN: Is everyone all right?
DEREK: -once his ass is up, he's gonna tend to hoisting riley and also draping a coat on her gdi davenforth why we gotta be in synch here.-
LIFERA: Th-Thanks. -nestles in the coat, clearly uncomfortable in this climate-
RILEY: -her ass is PLANTED IN THE SNOW but before she knows it, derek's got her and already getting her a coat- what the actual fuck?!
DAVENFORTH: No problem
DAVENFORTH: Everyone else good so far
PENNY: IM GREAT THANKS FOR ASKING.
MAYOR: -tentatively eats a handful of snow-
ROXANNE: -Shes getting up and dusting herself off before rapidly checking her sylladex. This has happened too many times. Roxanne lets out a sigh of relief when she finds it all there.- Yeah. Good so far.
ROXANNE: 'Cept for the whole whatever that was.
RILEY: -penny's here too? and ROXANNE? WOW. she laughs because this is so gODDAMMN CRAZY BEFORE clearing her throat- is there like...another coat jacket blanket sweater whatever?
HIGHBLOOD: =Suddenly wearing this because coldblooded

QIRIN: By chance, do you have more in there?
HIGHBLOOD: most assuredly my alabaster sismiss
ROXANNE: -........Eyyy clown buddy has got the threads. She would appreciate it if she wasnt now realizing that ONCE AGAIN shes been separated from every aspect of her small family in likely a life or death situation.-
PENNY: oh shit I want one.
ROXANNE: -8)-
DAVENFORTH: Ive also got regular coats if you dont wanna look like a pride yeti
LIFERA: ... -Soft glubs. She glances around, sniffing in reservation.-
DAVENFORTH: Wait shit that sounds dope
HIGHBLOOD: =DUMPS tacky rainbow threads on all who needs em= color does yon motherfuck good HIGHBLOOD: best be lookin the best whilst you can broseph :o)
QIRIN: ^_^ Thank you, truly. =She picks one up and tries it on, pushing the neck fluff up to her cheeks. Team Pride Yetis are a go=
RILEY: thanks buddy. -he is her buddy, really- warmest one you got give to my sister. -nods her head in that direction.-
DEREK: -looks pennyward- Oh damn. Thats her?
HIGHBLOOD: y'alls all motherfuckin tiny as a bit they all warm when you layers on layers on layers em sis :oP
RILEY: uh huh. -she nods- imagine me like. 15 years younger. not pregnant. i'll kind of look like her, then.
DAVENFORTH: I always look my best -You Motherfuck...-
HIGHBLOOD: best could get bester =clown smiles in his obsenely bright and colorful winterwear= best get on out the cold
DAVENFORTH: None of us can fly huh
DAVENFORTH: Best vantage point is upward
RILEY: do we look like any of us can fly?
RILEY: let me get my extended wings and jet pack and just bust up into the sky.
HIGHBLOOD: i could juggle y'all that counts enough
QIRIN: What of these trees? I am sure we could scale them.
QIRIN: =maybe=
ROXANNE: -Excuse her and the clicking noise as she's setting up her rifle gun. Shes not screwing around.- We could try it but i dunno' whoever does should be good at climbing because falls can kill pretty quick.
HIGHBLOOD: =He might catch them... or he might not=
DAVENFORTH: Ill be right back -Flashsteps up one of the taller trees to see if he can get a decent vantage point-
RILEY: -throws her hands up in frustration at davenforth just GOIN OFF LIKE THAT- okay, bye.
HIGHBLOOD: =digging into an peach cobbler, hot and fresh from who knows where, one hand in the pocket, looking around=
QIRIN: =a little flatly at Davenforth's eagerness to shimmy up a tree= Oh thank goodness we have medical.
DAVENFORTH: -He's just anime jumping up it branch by branch JESUS. It's perfectly safe, right Derek?-
ROXANNE: -Please dont fall though.-
HIGHBLOOD: =But if you do, do a flip=
ROXANNE: -No.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Two flips=
[At the top of the trees, Davenforth will see MORE TREES... but in the far distance, there are lights coming from a tented area the size of a small village. Maybe it's a... circus?]
DAVENFORTH: -Sighs- At least it aint texas
ROXANNE: -Finishes prepping her gun and slings it over her shoulder, while she watches Davenforth from the ground.-
LIFERA: -She's starting to pace to keep warm. Heck.-
DAVENFORTH: -Checks his comm. Oh shit. Virginia huh? He starts making his way down the tree landing on his feet with the softest thud-
ROXANNE: -Nice dismount. Stuck the landing.-
ROXANNE: See anythin' up there?
PENNY: -draping herself in what's practically a rainbow tent. Ahh yes.- alright whatevers going on Im not standing here fuck deep in snow.
DAVENFORTH: Hope you guys like camping cuz were gonna be playing the wild thornberries for a while
DAVENFORTH: Good news is theres what can be considered civilization miles ahead
QIRIN: Good idea. Are berries in season?
RILEY: great. -sighs, hugging the coat tighter against her-
DAVENFORTH: Bad news is it looks like the ringaling brothers are here
ROXANNE: -Raises a brow.- What?
QIRIN: =shrugs at roxanne=
HIGHBLOOD: =LEANS= them motherfuckers?? =furrows brows=
DAVENFORTH: Grape ape over there is gonna feel real at home soon im guessin
HIGHBLOOD: mine home is where i roam bromie
PENNY: -she's already trudging through the snow. BYE YALL-
HIGHBLOOD: =Goodbye forever lil sis=
DAVENFORTH: That lovely lady has the right idea she might wanna walk to the left a bit though
ROXANNE: ! -Spots a fleeing penny.- Uh hey.
ROXANNE: Maybe you shouldn't go off on your own like that? -Whoever she is, she didnt get the name, only that shes related to riley.-
RILEY: -sighs- hey! where the fuck are you going?
HIGHBLOOD: =He shrugs and starts to roam, tapping on his com and slorping some faygo. The lorge walks through the snow surprisingly quiet=
PENNY: -turns left a little. THANKS GUY.-
PENNY: Im freezing my ass off and I dont know none of yall.
HIGHBLOOD: word on the block's you got fam littlest bit
HIGHBLOOD: that's the block, stalkin ya
RILEY: so your plan is to get lost?
DAVENFORTH: Introducing yourself is the quickest way to still not know someone but at least know their name
PENNY: hi Im Penny.
QIRIN: I am Weramiru Qirin, former queen of Prospit, abdicated in 2619, best decision of my life. I am now one of the Unbreakable Union's doctors. =Holds out her hand like Disney Jane and Tarzan introducing themselves.=
HIGHBLOOD: =Pft, royals=
DAVENFORTH: -What a nerd. He loves her-
ROXANNE: Hey, Penny. I'm not as fancy as Qirin, but ya'can call me Roxanne. -How friendly does she looked all stressed out and with a loaded weapon slung over her shoulder.-
QIRIN: You do not have to be fancy when you are already a brilliant scientist, Roxanne.
PENNY: -side eyes Qirin... high fives her.-
QIRIN: ^_^ =highfives=
ROXANNE: .......Aw heck. -Thats adorable.- Thanks Qirin.
RILEY: enough introductions to get us all going the same direction? perfect. let's go.
PENNY: sorry but no.
MAYOR: -he points to his sash-
PENNY: Im gonna go this way and you can go whatever other way.
MAYOR: -u were missing one. now u know-
HIGHBLOOD: aight =keeps walking= can't make no motherfucker amble on where they don't wanna get their legs =walks behind a tree and disappears=
HIGHBLOOD: =Sliding casually down the other side of the hill, slorping faygo=
PENNY: ....wtf.
DAVENFORTH: Thank god the mayor is okay
QIRIN: ......................
RILEY: -glances at this adorable carapacian and has no idea why he's pointing at his sash but he's so adorable she has to force herself to focus on the situation at hand- well, i'm going where you go. so...you can either go with everybody else or be stuck with just me.
QIRIN: =watches GHB disappear with her own two eyeballs. She should be accustomed to strange occurrences by now, but the fact of the matter is that she is NOT.=
DAVENFORTH: -Catches up to Penny-
PENNY: are you seriously going to do this right now?
DAVENFORTH: Youre an independent woman i like and respect that but right now at this particular juncture of what the absolute fuck is going on we should probably stick together until were not just in a forest with snow also sup penny pleasure to meet you names davenforth
PENNY: look.
PENNY: I just dont want to deal with her.
RILEY: oh jesus christ.
ROXANNE: -Just chilling with Qirin. She aint going near that whole family debacle happening.-
HIGHBLOOD(?): =From somewhere........ a pie appears in Riley's hand=
RILEY: ...
DAVENFORTH: Who riley come on she aint that bad bark is definitely worse than the bite
MAYOR: -ponders, pulling out his YARDSTICK SPEAR. he begins drawing something in the snow...-
RILEY: -sufficiently distracted by there being a pie in her hands all of a sudden. is anybody else seeing this?-
HIGHBLOOD(?): =With a cherry=
PENNY: Im pretty sure I know what shes capable of thanks.
ROXANNE: -Yikes and she thought her and Ruth were bad.-
DAVENFORTH: Im not gonna doubt that but we should still stick together
DAVENFORTH: Just because shes here dont mean you gotta talk to her though
RILEY: -holding this pie with a cherry on top.- oh god i'm having one of those weird dreams again aren't i?
ROXANNE: -Nope, you arent Riley.-
DEREK: -pinches riley's arm-
MAYOR: -he's DONE WITH HIS DRAWING. he turns and scampers up to penny and pokes her in the side with his spear thingy.-
HIGHBLOOD(?): =DO IT.... is she not gonna do it.... it's a great pie...... says the universe=
DAVENFORTH: Maybe the mayor can help better
RILEY: -slaps derek's arm as an automatic reflex- oh. nope. -WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS PIE. do you want me to stick it in someone's FACE?-
DAVENFORTH: Thanks mayor
PENNY: cool cuz dont expect that to work.
QIRIN: =hangin back here with Roxanne. For the same reasons. Dave's got this handled.=
DAVENFORTH: -He does not, in fact, have this handled.-
HIGHBLOOD(?): =What else are pies for... it's a sleepytime pie. Maybe. PRobably=
ROXANNE: -Nah, you got it handled.-
PENNY: -looks down at Mayor.- ??
ROXANNE: -Produces a scarf and silently offers it to Qirin. Shes got a lot, but they wont match the coats..-
RILEY: -inspects the pie further. a sleepytime pie? do you want me to put my sister to SLEEP-
MAYOR: -POINTS AT HIS FINISHED PIECE. it appears to be a large checkerboard carefully drawn in the snow, complete with the pieces!!!! there are white ones and black ones. The black ones are represented by his footprints, while the white ones are basically just circles. They appear to be in a position of CHECK, judging by the fact that the king is surrounded, and the rook and queen are on other sides of the biard, and the black pieces have like THREE WHOLE QUEENS, but nevetherless, it is not yet checkmate. He points to the king and then draws a line to an empty space.-
HIGHBLOOD(?): :o)
MAYOR: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
QIRIN: ^o^ =pleasantly surprised= Oh thank you, Roxanne. How kind of you.
ROXANNE: No problem, Q.
QIRIN: =gazes intently at this drawing=
RILEY: -only if...she wants to go off on her own again...-
PENNY: -stares intently down at this chess board... and looks back at the Mayor.- sorry bud but I got no fuckin clue what youre trying to tell me.
MAYOR: -THROWS HIS ARMS UP-
MAYOR: -ENDOMORPHS ARE HOPELESS-
PENNY: heh.
PENNY: youre pretty cute tho.
MAYOR: -points to his sash again-
PENNY: ...mayo....R.
MAYOR: -jitters-
PENNY: ohhhh. Mayor??
MAYOR: -JITTERS!!!!-
RILEY: -come on little dude. you can get her to stay-
PENNY: I got no idea what mayoring has to do with games but its cool I guess.
MAYOR: -jitters his way back over to the snowboard and begins doing some changes, plopping some snow on top of the kind and drawing in a NEW piece, in a relatively safe spot and NOT in check, before drawing some arrows from the other rook and queen.- He points excitedly at it.-
PENNY: .... were winning chess?
MAYOR: -shakes his head. THUMBS DOWN. definitely losing.-
PENNY: look I wasnt that much of a nerd in high school. I can kick ass at Connect Four though.
PENNY: okay. we suck at chess. thats accurate.
DAVENFORTH: -Hear him in your HEART penny-
MAYOR: -hmm, hmm. He points to her, and then he points to the king. And then he draws a little picture of one of the bishops putting the king in check on top of the king's head.-
MAYOR: -THEN he points at the rook and the queen, pointing at Davenforth and Derek.-
PENNY: ...
ROXANNE: -So Derek or Davenforth are the queen and the other is a rook.-
MAYOR: -he doesn't know what piece u are. HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU LADY-
PENNY: alright. sunglass guys are badasses.
DEREK: -thumbs up-
PENNY: -SIGHS-
RILEY: -elbows him-
MAYOR: ...
MAYOR: -OK SO NOW HE JUST JUMPS ALL OVER THE SNOW, drawing a bunch of pieces around the king. And then a CIRCLE around them.-
PENNY: yeah yeah okay I get it.
PENNY: if I run off Im boned.
PENNY: is that what youre trying to tell me?
MAYOR: -NODS-
MAYOR: -you've only got one move in check-
PENNY: well Ive basically been boned my whole life so thats really nothing new.
PENNY: I like you though.
MAYOR: -jitters a shaky thumbs up-
DEREK: -ELBOW'D OOF.- So were stickin together this time gang?
PENNY: here cmere you look cold as balls. -shuffles over to wrap mayor up in her rainbow funtime coat-
MAYOR: -! -THAT IS KIND. he is hard, like the kind of resin that'd go around a chess piece. UNSURPRISINGLY-
PENNY: -he is a friend...- yeah I guess.
RILEY: -relief-
DAVENFORTH: Told you the mayor is the best
DAVENFORTH: Thanks mayor
DEREK: Groovy.
RILEY: i don't think i ever want you to say that again. -at Derek.-
DEREK: What? It is groovy.
ROXANNE: -Clears throat- Not ta' break this fun time up but.
DEREK: -smirks, then slips an arm around here- So we movin or did I just agree to freezin to death with yall?
ROXANNE: We good to move-
ROXANNE: Yeah what Derek just said.
DEREK: Great minds.
RILEY: -leans into him and sighs- let's go.
DEREK: -PROCEEDS-
ROXANNE: -LIKEWISE. Shes ready to march.-
MAYOR: -scampers along inside a coat-
DAVENFORTH: -Goes to check on Lifera again- You need another coat
RILEY: -might be slowing derek a little down by how she's trying to guarantee penny is going with them-
LIFERA: I need. Probubbly. Ten coats.
PENNY: -shuffles with the mayo. she's very tempted to scoop him up like a kid....-
ROXANNE: -Does the fish queen want scarves? She has scarves.-
LIFERA: -YES-
MAYOR: -HE IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL-
ROXANNE: -Slows her walk enough so that she can distribute them to anyone who wants them.- Life time a knitting finally came in handy. Thank you highschool arts an'crafts.
QIRIN: =Takes a couple small cloth packs out of her sylladex, shakes them up, and hands them over to Lifera.=
QIRIN: Please, take them. They are hand warmers.
ROXANNE: -YOU get a scarf and YOU get a scarf. They are long and thick, and come in a bunch of different colors (Although mostly shades of purple)-
DAVENFORTH: -Uncaptchas his red trench coat and drapes it over Lifera. It's his favorite coat ever. Don't let anything happen to it.-
[Eventually they make it to the clowny congregation. Upon closer inspection, it's almost like... a clown shanty town, if such a thing exists. It's grungy. A chicken is running through the middle of the town. There are people wandering around -- humans in face paint. From one of the tents (maybe) this tune is playing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqEwX9Orp7M
]
HIGHBLOOD: =He's been here the whole time. Staring...... watching......... in disbelief=
ROXANNE: -........Wow. This sure is something.-
LIFERA: -piles all these articles on her body in the walk- Glub... T)(ANK you.
LIFERA: ... -stares at all this-
QIRIN: ^ ^
DEREK: Oh for fucks sake.
DAVENFORTH: No
PENNY: .......
DEREK: Come on guys we leavin.
PENNY: -starts turning her and mayor around in a slow circle-
DEREK: -TURNS HIMSELF AND RILEY AROUND-
DAVENFORTH: Lets go the other way
PENNY: throw that ass in a circle the fuck out.
LIFERA: WAD-----E.
QIRIN: I am inclined to agree.
HIGHBLOOD: =Suddenly....... spiky club=
LIFERA: LOOK. They seem mostly... )(UMAN?
LIFERA: Maybe.
QIRIN: !
DAVENFORTH: Even worse
RILEY: where the hell are we?
LIFERA: It's probubbly some sort of... new jurisdiction.
ROXANNE: -Seconds that !-
ROXANNE: -Although shes also carrying a gun, she has no room to talk on the weapons front, but seeing a spike wielding giant is a little more intimidating.-
RILEY: oh. hey. big guy. whatcha doing?
LIFERA: -side eyes GHB-
MAYOR: -HIDES HIS EYES-
PENNY: -also hides his eyes. you are safe now.-
HIGHBLOOD: =drapes his rainbow robes over a fence and ominously drags the club right into town= cleanin a stain upon mine religion
QIRIN: ...
TAKODA: -OH YEAH HE'S HERE-
TAKODA: UMMM.
DAVENFORTH: Woah there
TAKODA: TH1S SEEMS L1KE A MOMENT, WHERE 1 M1GHT WANT TO TRY SOME... D1PLOMACY...
ROXANNE: Hhh. Might wanna' try it fast then.
RILEY: -makes a horrified face- wait, what?
ROXANNE: -But no, big clown wont really go smash all these tents up right? RIGHT??-
HIGHBLOOD: =EYEBALLS..... his bro gaizka gets the boink on with this brown he knows......... Hm...... flexes his jaw and holds up a big palm= two minutes. =uncharacteristically sensible...ish=
TAKODA: -smiles, clasping hands together- GREAT! AH...
TAKODA: LET'S ASK THEM 1F THEY MAYBE... HAVE SOME MODE OF TRANSPORTAT1ON, WE CAN BORROW, OR UH... PURCHASE, 1F NEED BE?
HIGHBLOOD: take.
LIFERA: GLUB.
HIGHBLOOD: i ain't buyin shit from no motherfuckin blasphemors
LIFERA: Let us do something NOW, then, shell we????
RILEY: (is being a juggalo a real religion now?) -very quietly so as not to offend the big guy-
DEREK: (Yeah its a weird troll thing.)
RILEY: (oh my god.)
DAVENFORTH: Thought youd proud to see some like minded thinkers whats wrong big guy
HIGHBLOOD: =Looks down to Davenforth, unamused= ain't likeminded
HIGHBLOOD: they got shit twisted, i'm inclined as a motherfuck of strong beliefs to untwist them
TAKODA: -bravely tries to address a lady juggalo- JUGGALETTE: -turns around and she's topless-
TAKODA: OH. YOUR RUMBLE SPHERES. ARE OUT 1N THE OPEN, 1 SEE.
TAKODA: ... 1SN'T 1T A L1TTLE COLD? -proceeds to try to convince her to put a coat on-
HIGHBLOOD: =That's right..... eat up your time=
LIFERA: -just starts aggressively walking through this village of weird human anger clowns-
DAVENFORTH: -Baybe?-
DAVENFORTH: Looks all the same to me bunch of face paint drowning their lives out in sugar and drugs
RILEY: can't we just steal from them? that would be more fun than killing them.
[Lifera passes by two juggalos taking turns hitting each other in the face with a street sign. You know, just for fun.]
DAVENFORTH: A lot less reserved though
DAVENFORTH: Definitely not as dangerous
RILEY: find me a car and i'll hotwire us out of here.
LIFERA: ...-wtf-...
HIGHBLOOD: it ain't the same and diplomacy's gotta clock
HIGHBLOOD: don't know what motherfuckin mockery of bullshit this is but i'm fit to stamp it out, you ain't eager to cease my stampins for all the ignorance you spit sos i jive with that at least
LIFERA: -She's looking for any sort of shelter or transport they can use before things get ugly, plus she's freezing.-
QIRIN: =...= ...
QIRIN: .............
[She eventually comes upon a big party bus. It's all graffiti'd up with weird little symbols of a dude with a hatchet, also covered in what's probably mud and blood...]
DAVENFORTH: If youre gonna stomp out some mostly harmless folks then ill definitely stop that they aint hurtin nobody but themselves
RILEY: (is this really a conversation we're having right now.)
DAVENFORTH: Dont sweat em they aint the issue
LIFERA: -LOUD GLUBBING.- OV-ER )(-ER--------E!
HIGHBLOOD: =He sighs, looking around again at all these humans shitting on his religion, hand flexes on the club= can't stop inevitable broseph
HIGHBLOOD: but the snake cranium is much preferred =Looks Lifera-ward and starts to drag his club through town again=
DAVENFORTH: -Zips over.-
[The door to the party busy is just... open... A chicken glides out.]
LIFERA: -watches it go...-
LIFERA: .... I'M S)(OR-E IT'S FIN-E.
LIFERA: 38)
QIRIN: ......
DEREK: Ive traveled in worse conditions.
RILEY: jesus.
RILEY: i haven't traveled in anything with blood on it. well...not THAT much.
PENNY: lmao Id be surprised if my car DIDNT have blood on it.
PENNY: speaking of which miss you baby.
PENNY: everybody in before I freeze my titties off.
DAVENFORTH: Cover your tits then damn are the juggalos getting to you already
QIRIN: =what is life=
HIGHBLOOD: =Eyeballs the devil settlement= ....... =He'll be back=
DAVENFORTH: -Yells for Takoda-
PENNY: hey I could get down with some free titties.
RILEY: -gets her ass on this bus and takes a seat. her feet hurt and ryan's being rowdy-
TAKODA: HUH? OH. 1T WAS N1CE MEET1NG YOU PLEASE PUT ON A SH1RT-- -runs back over to his FRIENDS-
HIGHBLOOD: =If only everyone wasn't so proactive...... is salty, is seething. Is texting in the back and surprisingly..... not weighing this van down like mofo?=
PENNY: -he's like a bird.... in colorful feathers...-
HIGHBLOOD: =A goose=
HIGHBLOOD: =HO NK=
DAVENFORTH: Koda i nominate you for bus driver
TAKODA: }:D TAKODA: THAT SOUNDS L1KE FUN. -gets in the driver's seat. the keys are just... in there.-
DAVENFORTH: Dont crash us bro -Takes a seat-
LIFERA: -snuggles up with Davenforth almost immediately. WARM HER.-
DAVENFORTH: -Space Heater protocol: Commence-
TAKODA: -once everyone is in... he tries to back up, only to accidentally crash into a tent- WHOOPS.
TAKODA: 1'VE NEVER DR1VEN A LAND VEH1CLE... W1TH TH1S MUCH CLEARANCE BEFORE. JUST... JUST A SECOND... -forward again, carefully trying to maneuver... backs into another tent.-
TAKODA: SH1T. UHH... -does this several more times before they can pull out of this spot and drive OUT of the settlement-
RILEY: -JERKS FORWARD and grabs onto the seat in front of her- holy shit.
QIRIN: =clears her throat= Are you sure about this?
HIGHBLOOD: =Good yes=
QIRIN: Takoda?
TAKODA: YES, SORRY. WE SHOULD BE GOOD NOW. }:) -sweats... driving down the road from the now partially demolished settlement. the mirthful messiahs were in GHB's favor.-
RILEY: carry on soldier.
QIRIN: =she's gonna stay awake....just in case....=
HIGHBLOOD: =this is why he's a faithful devote believer... he'll fix this. They know he will=
TAKODA: -turns on the radio and icp is playing... on every station- ... UMM. -the quiet is better anyway. he'll keep driving until somebody requests a stop, but there's at least a bathroom on the bus. it might be the worst thing they've ever seen, but it is a bathroom.-

ATRIUM SECURITY RECORDING 0382
SUMMONER: =Here comes a him! He's wearing a pair of sporty looking swim shorts and a tank, showing off freckles and tan lines both. Holding a tiny baby Gallen in his arms as he flutters on down to the beach and making silly faces at him. Calls out over his shoulder.= you keep1ng up back there or what? =Back to Gallen.= (your dad 1s such a slowpoke,)
GHB: =Oh snap it's a clown, he's been around probably but also taking care of business elsewhere but damn does he love beaches so damn right he's taking his sweet time walking over the sand in the brightest tackiest stripey shorts and polka dotted tank. Mixing it up= the first beach i dip my toe on and my moment got ruined by a rushy motherfuckin flutterbug. can't even take in the moment of first sand in circulations
SUMMONER: =Lands into the sand with a smile, shifting Gallen onto his shoulders and holding onto his lil legs so he won't fall down. Folds his wings up and laughs.= by the pace you're go1ng at the beach would no longer be here by the t1me you arr1ved, SUMMONER: corroded away to noth1ng, SUMMONER: and only me and galpal got to see 1t, all 'cuz you're too slow,
GALLEN: =That sounds like a plan to him, he's enjoying all the flying about leans forward to lay on Rhodri's head, the jangly bells Chiron gave him sounding off as he flops forward= so! GHB: =Frowns at the child= you gonna agree? motherfuck up and forgot on the goods i up and provided just some hour ago. tiny ass flight ride not compared to the sweepin view you get on this here brother and don't forget that lil bit =But no he's here and immediately going to the water fucking bye but makes eye contact with Rhodri= you remember too, flight the only advantage you got rho sad facts though they is
SUMMONER: =Snickers as Gallen appears to agree, tilting his head just a teeny bit back to look up at him with a broad grin.= he knows what's up, SUMMONER: =The eye contact just makes him smile more, one that makes him get a mischevious glint in his own said eyes.= ooh, SUMMONER: so spoopy, SUMMONER: =Glances up at Gallen and starts walking to the edge of the water.= you l1ke seagulls gal? =Because there sure as fuck is suddenly a VAST AMOUNT OF SEAGULLS approaching. Right for Typhon's head, actually. THEY SQUAK.=
GALLEN: yah! =What's a seagull even? When he gets his answer he just looks in awe at all the birbs and claps for them= yooooo! :0 GHB: =Rude as hell even though Gallen seems pleased. What betrayal honestly, though he raise his eyebrow and wades in the water= wantin to be responsible for a feathery massacre on a beach front i take =But he's also getting in the water making the waves because fuck all that HONESTLY=
SUMMONER: =The flock of seagulls keep squaking and flying around Typhon's head in circles. Some even trying to perch on his head or on his horns. Though one hooded seagull comes flying over to Rhodri and Gallen.= SUMMONER: =Holds out one arm so that the seagull can perch there.= hey there buddy, =Lifts his arm so Gallen can see the seagull friend.= you can pet her gallen, 1t's okay, b1rds l1ke gett1ng l1ttle pets and scratches just l1ke everyone else, =Smiles softly, then tuts over at Typhon.= SUMMONER: and you want1ng to be respons1ble for traumat1z1ng a small wr1ggler, apparently, SUMMONER: they are just l1v1ng the1r b1rd l1fe,
GHB: =If Gallen wasn't on him Rhodri would get soggy beach trash in the face. Their perching isn't so much what's annoying as it is how obvious Rhodri's putting them there. Grumbles and eyeballs the brownblood= lil bit's bound to see worse up in this universe than that, bird life my lined ass =Some of that gets all distorted from him sinking further into the water even though it takes a while for his hair and horns to disappear= GALLEN: =Luckily none of that today though, he's eager to get his grubby hands on this bird. He's gonna pet AND scratch while babbling. Such a soft bird, what a pretty bird=
SUMMONER: =He can't help but to snicker as Typhon grumbles into the water, causing bubbles to rise. The seagulls are determined, the ones perched on the tips of his horns not flying away before they are utterly submerged. Even then they keep flying around in circles above the water, squaking away. Actually there might be a few fish and crab friends at the bottom of the sea pinching and nipping at the big's feet.= SUMMONER: =The hooded seagull closes her eyes, ruffling her feathers a little bit from the pets and scratches, head tilting and leaning for these grubby hands. Rhodri hums.= you're gonna befr1end all the b1rds at th1s rate gal, SUMMONER: a natural b1rd petter, }:)
GHB: =Watch him find a shark and slap Rhodri with it, but he does start to swim and collect stuff in a bag, crabs included if they're so insistent on being his PAL= GALLEN: =Nods because he's is so all about befriending things. He's also gonna hug this seagull, she's earned a good friendly squeeze chirring all the way. Bring it in Ms. Seagull=
SUMMONER: =Actually when the bag comes out they all suddenly seem very insistent on not being near him at all! They all swimming or skittering away to hide, some even nipping him in the back with their fishy lips.= SUMMONER: =Ms.Seagull doesn't seem to mind that, and so Gallen gets to hug a birb. She lets out a few friendly squaks.= SUMMONER: =Rhodri is mostly focused on keeping the animal friends out of danger, humming to himself to keep focus. Still he will slowly sit down, uncapthaing a colorful lil plastic basket and setting it down in the sand beside him.= 1 can show you some more th1ngs to befr1end 1f you'd l1ke gal, beaches got a lot of fr1ends 1f you know where to look for 'em,
GHB: =THAT'S WHAT HE THOUGHT, also if they get stuck in his hair that's none of his business nor his concern. Hell, that's dinner= GALLEN: =He's still hugging Ms. Seagull and looks at that colorful basket. Just up and starts to wiggle, he's gonna get down and place the seagull in the basket to give her a ride. But for now more friends has his attention= in san? :) =He's seen pictures of creatures on the sand and is down for finding them=
SUMMONER: =Luckily they don't get stuck in there, as they have Rhodri's guidance. However he grows bored since Typhon is down there for so long (should he be able to be down there so long anyway? he's got big lungs though, so that makes sense to him). The final note is to thank them, then have them all scatter to the winds. Or sea, rather.= SUMMONER: =Rhodri reaches up to help Gallen down instead of having him jump. He laughs a little at him putting Ms.Seagull in the basket. She nests there contently.= SUMMONER: mhm, that's r1ght! some l1ke to h1de 1n the sand, SUMMONER: but the best place to f1nd a lot of summer fun beach budd1es 1s 1n l1ttle coves or near cl1ffs1des, SUMMONER: 1t's the best hang out spot for starf1sh and crabs, not to ment1on all the clams, =Stands back up, brushing sand off himself then holding out a hand for Gallen.= we can go check those l1l pools over there out, =Points a lil ways down the beach where water has gathered in bumps and grooves in the rocks.=
GALLEN: =Lifts this basket and grabs Rhodri's hand kind of half listening he's excited to meed all these friends. Especially starfish! Tugs Rhodri a little and starts to scamper off in the direction Rhodri pointed without hesitations, flip flops kicking up sand while he shouts. It's outside time, time to scream in excitement= GHB: =He grew up on a beach, water ain't shit. But he does emerge soon with that sack and a few jars of seawater tucked under his arm. All this wet hair, goes up in the direction they're walking=
SUMMONER: =He's more than happy to be tugged along by Gallen. It's much more fun, not to mention easy, to be around kids once they are no longer all... Small and fragile. He has nightmares about having to hold an infant he swears. Ms.Seagull makes a few enthusiastic squaks along with Gallen, and y'know what? So does Rhodri. He cups a hand around his mouth and CROWS just like he used to back when he was a tiny troll living in the wilds.= SUMMONER: =Also OBLIVIOUS to the soaked giant emerging.=
GALLEN: =The crows encourage him to be EVEN LOUDER. Trying to imitate the sound but it mostly sounds like shrieking.= GHB: =Excellent, while he's hopping and hollering Typhon reaches in the bag and takes some seaweed he grabbed and slaps that hand right over Rhodri's mouth and hands. Gonna lift him and Gallen and honks because Gallen honking is literally the most fun sound you could ever shout. The babby giggles=
SUMMONER: =Crowing and laughing along with Gallen all blissfully unawares. Then suddenly there's seaweed over his mouth. BLUH!!!= SUMMONER: =Unfurls his wings on instinct, ready to kick backwards and elbow both. But wait, should he even be violent in front of a kid??? Gallen is giggling though. He decides to BITE through the seasweed, spitting it to the ground while he's hoisted.= and so the fuck1ng blobf1sh emerges, =Kick kick.=
GHB: =He could dunk him in the ocean, the temptation is strong. He actually stops to consider this and gets a good grip on Rhodri's shorts= you hear that lil bit? flutterbug sees a whole motherfuckin blobfish out in the blue vastness, you think he ought go see it?

DIRK: ... -watches him sheepishly. oh right, he can grab food now finally since he let the child go.-
DIRK: Hey Equius, I've been meaning to talk to you.
EQUIUS: D --> Yes Dir--Captain
DIRK: Well, I've been drawing up some designs for Eridan. Cybernetic enhancements, to help him walk again.
DIRK: Unfortunately, I don't have much time anymore to do more than brainstorm ideas. So I was wondering if you wanted to take on the project from there?
MEENAH: -snorfs all the shramps down-
EQUIUS: D --> YES! Ahem, I mean yes. That is well within my capabilities and I'd be more than happy to head the project
DIRK: -tries not to draw attention to the outburst by smiling- Awesome. I'll send you what I've got so far. -beep boops on his computer shades, transferring his designs to equius-
EQUIUS: -His comm device beeps and he's sweating gently and excitedly-
EQUIUS: D --> Thank you. I'll start post haste
DIRK: No problem, dude.
DIRK: Eridan is a little particular, so you should probably get with him frequently for feedback. Oh, I'd suggest getting input from John as well. -grabs NACHOS since he's not allowed to eat SHRIMP-
MEENAH: 38)
EQUIUS: -Nachos are a much better choice-
EQUIUS: D --> Of horse. I'll confer with Eridan, first hoovever I'll review your designs
DIRK: Cool. -looks at meenah and crunches a nacho-
MEENAH: -crunches a shrimp back at him-

DIRK: -shuffling around the atrium, opening up panels here and there, messing with contents. he looks pretty tired, but DETERMINED.-
ROXY: =She's here and also looking pretty tired but not so... deadpan. Shuffles up behind him and gently punches his butt=
DIRK: -ah yes, he knows that butt punch. he glances over his shoulder at her.- Hey there.
ROXY: hey... ROXY: you should take a break
DIRK: -looks between her and the panel, expression softening- ... Yeah. You're probably right.
REDGLARE: -She appears to have followed for a few paces, watching this checking happen for at least three panels now. -

DIRK: Poor dude. DIRK: But I mean, he seems to be in a good place mentally? He ain't actin' so defeatist about everything, anyway.
ROXY: yeah that is different ROXY: which is good ROXY: im glad hes good
DIRK: I was trying to tell him he's making the right decision stepping down. At the very least, it's right for him. DIRK: It was eating away at him and clearly driving him to make... unsavory decisions. DIRK: It's definitely time to pass the torch to somebody who's going to utilize all the skills and resources this crew has to offer. You know? Uh-- DIRK: ... This whole thing might be on my mind a lot.

JADE: oh yeah!!
JADE: that would be a great idea
REDGLARE: So long 4s w3 k33p from 4ny furth3r s3cr3t d34l1ngs.

REDGLARE: -Disgusted noise.-

JADE: .... huh??(edited)

JADE: .... uuurrrrggghhh no
JOHN: -STARES AT.- a game huh? you've caught my entire attention!
JADE: -god!!!! Damn it!!!!-
DIRK: Is that... untrue?
REDGLARE: -laser eyes at the plant-
JADE: well its-- not like that!
JADE: i told eridan we could think about it if it was like... a platonic thing JADE: and that i needed to talk to dave about it too
JADE: there just... hasnt seemed like a good time (edited)
DIRK: A platonic thing? DIRK: I mean, Eridan did talk to me about it a few days ago. He said it wasn't exactly by the books but... Anyway, DIRK: You know how Dave is. Now he's thinkin' he did something wrong and I tried to explain to him it's not like that regardless of what's going on. He calmed down a lil bit after that but ultimately ended up staying with our dad for the night. He wasn't sure how to talk to you about it.
JADE: -just... rests face in hands-
JADE: ugh... this is all my fault
JADE: we should have talked about this by now
DIRK: ... Yeah. DIRK: I know shit is always going on but... Yeah.
JADE: ill talk to him
DIRK: -nods- Alright. DIRK: ... Also, since we're alone... I didn't really want to talk about this in front of everyone else. DIRK: But... Eridan told me he's considering you, Roxy, or myself for the captain position.
JADE: -blinks up at him- oh...
JADE: well
JADE: ill be ok with that either way
ARADIA: i really dont know where to go with it other than a game ARADIA: i dont know how to play it (edited)
DIRK: ... Yeah?
JADE: of course!!
JADE: i would be behind you two all the way
JADE: i mean... i nominated you too
DIRK: Oh. DIRK: You did?
JADE: yes!!
JOHN: hmm, i guess it falls on my shoulders then!
JOHN: what about a contest?
ARADIA: a contest?
JOHN: yeah, if i win you tell me your secret and if you win uh..(edited)
JOHN: something ...else happens?
ARADIA: sounds good to me!
DIRK: Huh. DIRK: Well, thanks. DIRK: ... I've been thinking about it a lot. Maybe too much. DIRK: But just knowing I'm a possibility... I don't wanna waste time if it does come down to me, you know?
JADE: i understand
JOHN: what happens if you win though? -EL SQUINTO.-
JADE: i feel the same!
JADE: maybe we could talk about it together later if you want
JADE: i dont see why we shouldnt
DIRK: -nods- Yeah... That's a good idea.
JADE: :) JADE: ... i need to go though JADE: i dont really want to do anything until i talk to dave
DIRK: Right. You go take care of that. DIRK: I'm gonna go... hang out, I guess. Promised Roxy I'd take a break.
JADE: also good thinking!!
JADE: ill see you in a while
DIRK: Later. -shuffles out from behind the plant with a wave and returns to the table to stare at john and aradia-
JADE: -wanders away, letting herself frown a lot more now that she isn't talking to anyone-
ARADIA: hmmm! ARADIA: how about you tell me a secret
REDGLARE: -still there with kinda a >:I face at this flirting couple nonsense-
JOHN: -owlturn @ dirk but frowns as he watches jade leave.-
JOHN: ....-and then back to aradia.- yeah i guess that would be fair. although it would have to be a secret of a personal nature since i told you who I'm nominating already.
DIRK: Secrets of a personal nature? -leans forward in interest-
DIRK: What are you guys talking about?
JOHN: pshh of course you'd zone in on that.
REDGLARE: Th4t 1s 4 myst3ry. -if only she had something better to be doing. if only-
TEREZI: -still standing in the distance, sipping her coffee-
JOHN: it's quite simple officer glare. we just need to think of a fun contest to decide who tells who the secret.
ARADIA: contests and nominations and secrets
DIRK: That's cute.
ARADIA: thanks!
DIRK: You two should arm wrestle.
JOHN: hmph! i wouldn't say cute per se...
JOHN: maybe fun and mysterious!
ARADIA: ooh we should

ATRIUM SECURITY RECORDING 0278
INSIDE
[10:01:33 AM] GALLEN: *A rainbow-haired wriggler stands in front of the tree and stares at it, mystified and picking his nose with no pants on*
[10:08:58 AM] REDGLARE: -She has to resist the urge to sigh. She sort of remembers seeing a grub with similar features- it was a long time ago, certainly, but she tried not to forget small details even so. This, however, was the slightest bit troubling. She is fairly certain there are several things wrong with what the child is doing right now, starting with the legs.-
REDGLARE: Ch1ld, r3port.
REDGLARE: Wh3r3 1s your 4dult gu4rd14n.
[10:10:55 AM] GAMZEE: *Is sitting by the tree as well, though on the opposite side of where Gallen is. He's cross legged, staring up at the tree with big pupils, daydreaming somerthing nice no doubt.*
GAMZEE: *There's a commanding voice from somewhere though, and he comes back to reality. Slowblinks, looking out in the air around him.* :o?
GAMZEE: *Into the air, looking around for THE GHOST VOICE.* DoN'T Uh tHiNk i gOt aNy gUaRdIaN In aNy sHaPe oR FoRm iN ThE MoThErFuCkInG NoW No mOrE *Flicks an ear, confused.*
[10:13:20 AM] GALLEN: -Hears voice and looks up, smiles up at Redglare and pulls his finger from his nose to point at the tree but oh, more voices- !!! -What an amazing tree- :O
[10:13:46 AM] REDGLARE: .
REDGLARE: -She paces around the tree to look at Gamzee. She is not sure what else she could have expected.-
REDGLARE: 1s th1s your n4k3d ch1ld?
[10:16:52 AM | Edited 10:17:51 AM] GAMZEE: *He's pretty bewildered up until Redglare shows herself, then his expression eases up. Chuckling a little to himself. Of course it wasn't a ghost, how silly.*
GAMZEE: *Tilts his head.* My wHaTnOw? *Slowblink, then leans out to look around the tree.* YuLaLa cReEpIn aRoUnD? *Couldn't be. She was nappin'.* No tHaT AiN'T MiNe sIs *Spots Gallen though, giving the wriggler a lazy friendly clown wave.*
[10:16:55 AM | Removed 10:18:00 AM] This message has been removed.
[10:18:09 AM] REDGLARE: -She reaches down towards Gallen, picking him up by the armpits. She holds him before Gamzee like a package of some kind.-
REDGLARE: 1s th1s -
[10:18:14 AM] REDGLARE: Oh.
[10:19:00 AM] REDGLARE: -She continues to hold him like that for a few seconds, somewhat bewildered.-
[10:19:14 AM] GALLEN: -Squeals being picked up and immediately latches to Redglare with his boogery fingers-
[10:20:00 AM] GAMZEE: HaVeN'T BeEn gEtTiNg mY PeEpErS On tHiS LiTtLeSt hOmIe nOnE BeFoRe
GAMZEE: *Watches the two fondly though. Kids are fun.* CaN'T SaY Be iN AnY MoThErFuCkInG KnOw oF ThEmSeS GuArDiAn oR NoThIn *Shrugs.*
[10:20:37 AM] REDGLARE: >:| -Just fucking test her, gallen she has had worse.-
[10:21:17 AM] REDGLARE: H3 lost h1s l3gg1ngs. Poss1bly sho3s 4s w3ll.
REDGLARE: -The most srs face-
[10:22:21 AM] GALLEN: *Tries to climb her after the huggings, babbling and nuzzling her face. An affectionate partially naked child*
[10:23:10 AM] REDGLARE: >:I
[10:23:33 AM] REDGLARE: H4v3 you s33n 4ny sm4ll cloth3s 4nywh3r3.
[10:25:31 AM] GAMZEE: *He seems confused for a brief second, then blinks.* Oh
GAMZEE: *He hadn't noticed.*
GAMZEE: WeLl tHaT AiN'T GoOd
GAMZEE: CaN'T HaVe tHe lIl hOmIeS WaNdErIn rOuNd wItH ThEiR SkIn aLl eXpOsEd tO ThEm wIcKeD WiNdY ElEmEnTs *Scratches his head, the bracelets on his wrist jangling as does the beads in his hair.*
GAMZEE: :o!
GAMZEE: HoLd uP SiS *Stands up and uncapthas his HUGE BACKPACK, which lands on the floor with a DOOF. He's been captaing it lately since it's a bit more manageable. And he kept knocking people over with it. He grins cheerily, then starts RUMMAGING in it.*
[10:26:58 AM] GALLEN: *Jingle jangle? Leaning over Redglare's shoulder and oooawwwhhhss at the jingle jangle.*
[10:26:58 AM] REDGLARE: -Gallen's climbing and squirming is getting harder for her to maintain her grip, adjusting her arms a few times. This is an alien experience.-
[10:27:32 AM] GALLEN: *What a nice stern troll, it's familiar and nice*
[10:29:02 AM] REDGLARE: -YOU ARE GOING TO FALL AND HURT YOURSELF AND CRY IF YOU KEEP THIS UP.- 1 suppos3 you 3njoy 4cc3ssor13s. Th4t 1s wh4t th3y 4r3 c4ll3d.
[10:32:21 AM] GAMZEE: *Hums and whistles cheerily as he rummages in the backpack, items being discarded left and right on the floor. Stuff varying from weapon replicas, lamps, stuffed animals and even a goldfish bowl... That has water... And a goldfish.*
GAMZEE: *He finally pulls out a clothing article. It's a hot pink skirt with polka dots.* :o)
GAMZEE: *Turns to Redglare and the smol child.* YeAh tHeY NiCe sIs *Approaches to try and show the child the skirt cuz see?? Nice.*
GAMZEE: MaKiNg sOmE RiGhT SoOtHiN FuN SoUnDs wItH ThE JiNgLiEs, 'sIdEs tHeM AlL GoT StOrIeS To tHeM *Fiddles a lil with one of his bracelets.*
[10:33:40 AM] GALLEN: *He knows no pain, he knows no fear. Gently nibbles her back, play with him. But more jingle jangles. Looks up curious* ooooh *Reaches for, hold on Redglare he is a bold child*

[10:36:48 AM] GAMZEE: It aLl fAbRiCs tO Be pUt oN OuR BoDs sIsTeRiTa *Clown smile.*

[10:38:24 AM] GALLEN: *He wants the jingle jangle, blinks at the nose boop and giggles trying to roll on Redglare's shoulder. Give him the jingle jangle*
[10:40:01 AM | Edited 10:44:48 AM] REDGLARE: >:T
REDGLARE: -DONT DO THAT YOURE GOING TO BREAK YOUR HEAD OPEN-
REDGLARE: -She shifts her arm to keep the roly poly child from spiraling off into fucking oblivion, sitting on the ground and placing him firmly on her lap, using one arm to hold him there.- G1v3 m3 th3 sk1rt. 1t's cold. 1t's not 1d34l for h1s sp3cul4t1v3 h3moc4st3 count3rp4rt.
[10:43:16 AM] GALLEN: *Oop! Into the lap and purrs leaning back against her and pats her arms. What a strong, stern troll. He likes her*
[10:47:59 AM] GAMZEE: *Happy laughing at the kid giggling. Kids are so great. They are so happy and smiling and fun. Just good vibes. He watches her sit down and he too plops down right in front of her, handing her the skirt.*
GAMZEE: SpEaKiN ThE TrUtH RiGhT ThErE SiS HaHa
[10:49:34 AM] REDGLARE: Sur3. -She's gonna wrangle baby legs into this skirt.-
REDGLARE: Myr14d truths.
[10:52:19 AM | Edited 10:54:20 AM] GAMZEE: *Chuckle.* AmEn :o)
GAMZEE: *Crosses his legs and rests his arms on his knees, rolling his wrists some to keep his bracelets making those nice jingle jangle sounds.* YoU GoNnA Be kEePiNg tHe lItTlEsT HoMiE UnDeR YoUr eYeS SiS? 'TiL SoMe mOtHeRfUcKeR ReAlIzE ThEy uP AnD FoRgOt aBoUt tHeIr sMaLl oNe
[10:53:23 AM] GALLEN: *It's surprisingly easy to wrangle the legs at first but he doesn't like bottoms. Makes a displeased sound and tries to turn against her but that jingle jangle though. He wants em but bottoms blurgh. At least it's easy enough to get the skirt on him after that*
[10:54:45 AM] REDGLARE: 1 do not h4v3 4ny dut13s to 4tt3nd to. -Once its on she's gonna set him loose on Gamzee's jangly things. Go toddler.-
[10:57:50 AM] GALLEN: *Yess, crawls on over to Gamzee. Looks like his feet are trying to catch the skirt to pull it off much like he kicks off his pants but he can't reach it and it's not as restrictive as pants so now he's just scrambling at Gamzee*
HIGHBLOOD: *Suddenly appearify* what.
[10:59:00 AM] REDGLARE: ...
REDGLARE: 1 m1ght wond3r th3 s4m3. -STARE-
[10:59:42 AM] GAMZEE: AiN'T MuCh a hOmIe fInD HiMsElF MuCh oCcUpIeD WiTh nEiThEr *Big smile as the lil troll comes scrambling, opening his arms up for potential hugs?*

[11:03:25 AM] HIGHBLOOD: *drops the lost pants on the child's face while he hugs Gamzee and reaches for his jingle jangles* wanna act right for any other mtherfucker, that's just disrespectful :o/
GALLEN: *He's gonna nibble and shake them*
[11:05:51 AM] REDGLARE: Wh3r3 d1d you f1nd thos3?
[11:06:22 AM] HIGHBLOOD: i had em
[11:07:30 AM] GAMZEE: *Hugs Gallen with a smile. Sees him reach for the bracelets and so he brings his one wrist close to Gallen's face so he can get a good look, shaking his wrist a little so they make the noises.*
GAMZEE: *SUDDENLY PANTS. Makes a confused noise and helps Gallen take the pants off his head.*
[11:07:43 AM] REDGLARE: -THAT ONLY BAFFLES HER FURTHER-
REDGLARE: Why?
[11:10:20 AM] GALLEN: *Thank, pants are evil. Plays with Gamzee's jingle jangles and makes happy, chirring noises, kicking his legs*
HIGHBLOOD: cause he don't like em and does so to discard them where he so pleases
HIGHBLOOD: i figure if the motherfucker don't wanna wear em then he ain't gotta but now he gettin all chummy with some bottoms right in my face *These were nice pants, how are you gonna wear a performance leotard if you can't wear pants u lil shit*
[11:13:43 AM] REDGLARE: 1t sounds 4 gr34t d³4l l1k3 you 4r3 h1s gu4rd14n. -Its mostly being repeated for her own sake, because just about everything about this situation is having a hard time penetrating her skull. He's taking care of a wiggler. It's barely one twelfth his size, but he went and adopted a mutant baby.-
REDGLARE: Th4t.
REDGLARE: ...
REDGLARE: 1s som3th1ng.
[11:13:57 AM] GAMZEE: *Folds the pants over his leg while Gallen sits in his lap and plays with the bracelets. He's chuckling faintly and making conversational honks at the kid.*
GAMZEE: *Looks up partially at the Highblood now. Oh. Wait. Ah. Was he getting in the way of some parental business? Slowblinks, and he smiles.* Ah
*Shrugs a little.* AlL HoMiEs gOt tHeM LiKeS AnD DiSlIkEs fOr wHaT ThEy gEt tHeIr bOdIeS AlL InTo
GAMZEE: MaYhApS LiL DoGg jUsT NoNe tOo bIg oN ThAt pAnT BuSiNeSs *Says this while sliding off some bracelets to put around Gallen's tiny child wrist instead. See? You can wear them too.*
[11:17:53 AM] HIGHBLOOD: so it does *When the universe puts a wriggler in your hair and it's not big enough to be paint you roll with the punches.*
HIGHBLOOD: *pokes her cheek* watchin you wrassle with one makes a motherfucker know that you ain't got a grasp on shit in small packages
GALLEN: :O !!!!!!!!!! *Shakes tiny wrist, shakes more, rattles it like a madman and shrieks* :D
[11:20:03 AM] GAMZEE: *Kids are so cute wtf. He could cry. He doesn't though, instead just laughing/honking happily at all the rattles and shrieks.*
[11:20:36 AM] REDGLARE: 1 dr3ss3d h1m. -She leans as a large finger sinks into her cheek.-
REDGLARE: My gr4sp w4s f1n3.
REDGLARE: H3 just mov3s, fr3qu3ntly.
[11:23:36 AM] HIGHBLOOD: *True enough, getting him dressed can be a fight* he don't like bein restricted waist wise especially :o/
HIGHBLOOD: got enough energy to expend i do agree *That's why he's gonna be the best performer if he'd wear his gee-dee pants but whatever. If that's what he wants to do WHATEVER*
[11:25:48 AM] REDGLARE: N4m3...?
[11:26:12 AM] GAMZEE: *Just forgetting that the older trolls were there at this point, just engrossed in CHILD SHENANS. Dang. If only Yulala wasn't napping, then they could all be playing together! Next time for sure. He gently tries turning Gallen around in his lap to demonstrate something.*
GAMZEE: *Lifts his hands up, palms facing towards Gallen. He claps his hands together once, then moves one towards Gallen before clapping again. The bracelets jangle at his movements. Patty cake Gallen!!!* :oD
[11:29:31 AM] HIGHBLOOD: gallen *moves his finger and heavily plops next to redglare*
GALLEN: *gets turned and stops shaking his wrist to look at Gamzee curiously. Clap and jangle... puts his own hands together in soft, quick pats.* :)
[11:31:26 AM] REDGLARE: S33ms robust. -she's not sure how you compliment a baby. He's not dead, congratulations. You parented. She's watching him very intently, though, adjusting her glasses in a manner that betrays, ever so slightly, her curiosity.-
[11:32:44 AM] GAMZEE: *What a fast learner! He grins brightly and gently brings his own palm towards one of Gallen's smaller ones. GENTLE PAT! Then he claps his hands together again and does the same with the opposite palm. He's not the best at teaching things, but playing he can do!* :o)
[11:34:53 AM] REDGLARE: Th1s 1s 4n 3xc3rs1z3 1n coord1n4t1on, -she says rather definitively, as a revelation to herself.-
[11:38:51 AM] HIGHBLOOD: seems busy more so
GALLEN: *he doesn't really get which goes when but he touches his hand to Gamzee’s as they get brought to him* bap! *the pats and jangles, good*
[11:40:45 AM] REDGLARE: 1 suppos3. -She says somewhat thoughtfully, still watching.- Wh4t's 1t l1k3?
[11:42:30 AM] GAMZEE: *Hes just kind of semi aware of Redglare and GHB's voices, though he's not even sure it's them. Reality is kind of a loose concept. He's smiling and doesn't mind Gallen not understanding the timing completely. Shit's difficult.* BaP BaP MoThErFuCkEr *He says with a laugh, just playing while the adults chatter.*
[11:44:15 AM] REDGLARE: -LANGUAGE-
[11:44:36 AM] REDGLARE: -she doesn't actually say anything though -
[11:45:16 AM] GAMZEE: *Bap bap one who performs coitus with one's own mother.*
[11:45:25 AM] HIGHBLOOD: time consumin mostly
HIGHBLOOD: yon mof here best to not let wander freely as wrigglers often do *traditionally anyway*
HIGHBLOOD: *shrugs* it is fun however
GALLEN: bap bap bap!! :D *starts to more confidently hit Gamzees hands, missing sometimes but keeps swatting until he gets it*
[11:47:08 AM] REDGLARE: !

OUTSIDE
[2:39:32 PM] DAVE: -walks outside in the snow with Karl who seems to LOVE all of this snow and can't help but bound around incessantly this time, Dave is bundled up and also with snow pants so he doesn't get soaked. He's sitting down, watching Karl go this way and that way and every way imaginable-
[3:24:15 PM] WQ: -walks up beside Dave, wearing clothes fit for this ice age weather.- Good afternoon.
[3:24:51 PM] DAVE: sup -looks up at her and nods-
[3:31:26 PM] WQ: I am finding newfound appreciation for fresh air and seeing farther than ten feet. ^_^
WQ: And you?
[3:34:09 PM] DAVE: same but i always been an air fan
[3:39:40 PM] WQ: -she smiled- I can see that.
WQ: You do have a powerful set of lungs.
[3:40:46 PM] DAVE: -snorts at that- yeah
DAVE: sorry about that
DAVE: just somethin i had to try
DAVE: spend enough time in there and you try anything
DAVE: as you probably know
[3:45:41 PM] WQ: For what it is worth, I am glad you are uninjured.
WQ: -she nodded and sat beside him, giving ample space between them.-
WQ: Ah, yes. The keypad was thoroughly decimated.
[3:46:14 PM] DAVE: please tell me that was dirks doing
[3:51:46 PM] WQ: -there is a thin gasp as she tried to veil a laugh. Looking up at the sky, a hand partially covered her mouth.-
WQ: It was a joint effort, though I will give him credit for starting it.
[3:57:47 PM] DAVE: thats my brother
DAVE: taking shit to extremes runs in the family
[4:13:30 PM] WQ: -Well, she wishes she'd known that sooner-
WQ: Both were valiant attempts, nonetheless.
[4:14:56 PM] DAVE: thanks
DAVE: we tried
[4:21:18 PM] WQ: At times that is all one can do. Have you been keeping well?
[4:24:31 PM] DAVE: keepin out of any type of prisons so yeah
DAVE: id say so
[4:34:03 PM] WQ: -Oh my god this kid-
WQ: That is a wonderful goal and a hope among many, I am certain of it.
[4:35:15 PM] DAVE: same lady
DAVE: same
[4:51:32 PM] WQ: ...
WQ: Would you be interested in participating in a game of launching frozen precipitation at one another?
[4:52:18 PM] DAVE: sure
DAVE: why the hell not -stands up-
[4:55:05 PM] WQ: -scoops up some snow in her hands on the way up and quickly begins to pack it into a ball.-
[4:59:33 PM] DAD: -is placing a small table and chair just outside the ship. Dressed in a thick fancy overcoat, James sets up a sign reading HOT CHOCOLATE. Voila. It's a hot chocolate stand.-
[5:00:51 PM] DAVE: -gets distracted by James's set up of hot chocolate and doesn't see WQ already packing snow-
[5:01:17 PM] WQ: -chucks it at Dave and makes a run for it-
[5:02:16 PM] DAD: -innocently fixes a plaid print table cover, seeming to mind his own business-
[5:03:10 PM] DAVE: oh hell no
DAVE: -he packs his own snowball and flashsteps-
[5:03:21 PM] DAVE: -behind her WHAM-
[5:04:11 PM] DAD: -takes his seat and watches the snowball shenanigans, packing some tobacco into his pipe. After a few seconds, it's lit and he begins puffing away.-
[5:06:54 PM] WQ: -acutely aware she may have made an error in challenging a Strider. But she's quick on recovery and scoops up some more snow, overhanding the sucker.-
[5:08:25 PM] DAD: -fixes up a mini stove and begins putting some milk to boil-
[5:09:03 PM] DAVE: -it hits because Dave is not going to be a complete asshole and he prepares another snowball-
[5:10:19 PM] WQ: -gathers up some snow and...retreats!-
[5:12:15 PM] DAD: -once the milk is in a slow boil, James is content enough to watch once again. Pipe smoke drifts from him, the most smartly dressed chimney.-
[5:14:24 PM] JADE: -she's out of the ship with a super bundled up baby! She's gonna avoid the snow fight but she isn't going to pass up that hot chocolate, so she wanders over with an armful of bab.- hi da-- -Yeah. She almost just said that. Why...- mr. egbert!!!!
[5:16:39 PM] DAD: -tips his hat in greeting to Jade, his smile friendly around his pipe.- HELLO JADE. AND DOVE. LOVELY WEATHER IT IS.
DAD: WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME HOT CHOCOLATE.
[5:20:23 PM] DAVE: -stops when he sees Jade and dove talking to dad- hey qirin wanna come over here
[5:21:46 PM] JADE: yeah!! i would love some
[5:22:18 PM] JADE: i wanted to thank you for the cake too
[5:22:26 PM] JADE: it was really nice
[5:25:02 PM] DAD: -rapidly fixes her a cup, generously topping it with whipped cream and marshmallows, chocolate shavings and syrup. Yes she is getting a blue silly straw.- NO NEED TO MENTION.
DAD: EVENTS OF A CELEBRATORY NATURE UNQUESTIONABLY DESERVE TOKENS IN THE FORM OF BAKED GOODS.
[5:25:27 PM] DAD: -presents her this beautiful cup of hot chocolate-
[5:26:36 PM] WQ: -she's slightly WARY but only fools say no to hot chocolate. She made her way over to the group, brushing snow off of her.-
[5:27:42 PM] DAD: -he's all about this tall, elegantly dressed carapacian figure. He tips her hat to her as well.-
[5:28:01 PM] DAVE: -he heads over to say hi to his girls and James, doing so in the most strider way aka just standing there in the vicinity-
[5:28:59 PM] DAD: -There is still snow in Dave's hair. James restrains from pointing it out.-
[5:29:35 PM] DAVE: -good eye James-
[5:30:38 PM] DAVE: hey
[5:31:32 PM] DAD: HELLO, DAVE.
DAD: THERE IS A SPOT OF SNOW IN YOUR HAIR. -Damn.-
[5:31:44 PM] WQ: -she dips her head and smiles. What a gentleman! He knows his etiquette!-
[5:32:56 PM] DAVE: oh
DAVE: thank you sir -carefully gets the snow out-
[5:35:24 PM] DAD: -is putting together some equally beautiful hot chocolate cups for Dave and the alabaster coated dame of mystery.-
[5:35:45 PM] DAD: -Ladies first. She receives hers first.-
[5:39:55 PM] WQ: Thank you. ^_^ -She truly IS grateful. It's COLD out here. If he has a tip jar, she's gonna put in all her coins. If he does not have a tip jar, she's going to pull out an empty jar so that he can have a tip jar.-
[5:42:15 PM] DAVE: -after qirin gets hers, Dave accepts his. Of course it's the best quality-
[5:43:25 PM] DAD: -gently waves his hand to stop her from tipping him.- NO NEED, MADAM. BUT THANK YOU REGARDLESS.
DAD: -he does pause, considering.- IF YOU SEEK TO PROVIDE PAYMENT, JOKES OF ANY CALIBER WILL DO JUST FINE.
[5:44:02 PM] DAD: -passes a napkin to Dave. You're getting whipped cream on your face, young man.-
[5:44:43 PM] DAVE: -takes the napkin. How embarrassing-
[5:45:13 PM] JADE: -wow this is amazing hot chocolate, and also she kisses the whipped cream on Dave's face-
[5:45:49 PM] DAD: -Leave room for Jesus, Jade.-
[5:46:11 PM] DAVE: -oh hey. He's obviously blushing a little. GREAT.-
[5:47:19 PM] WQ: -taps her chin, thinking-
WQ: What did the hat say to the scarf?
WQ: -sips. OH WOW THIS IS AMAZING. She smiles to signify that it is delightful.-
[5:48:39 PM] DAD: -appears to have his interest piqued and tents his fingers over the table.- WHAT DID THE HAT SAY TO THE SCARF.
[5:50:22 PM] DAVE: -wipes the whipped cream off of his face-
[5:50:59 PM | Edited 5:51:06 PM] WQ: -waits for his answer while enjoying this hot chocolate and not staring at the Jave to give them some privacy.-
[5:53:41 PM] DAD: -considers her riddle deeply-
DAD: ...
DAD: AFRAID I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER.
[5:55:09 PM] WQ: Hang around while I go on ahead. ^_^
WQ: -sip-
[5:58:17 PM] DAD: ... -huffs and puffs. Is he coughing?-
DAD: -No actually. That's his laugh. He sits back against his chair and grins with satisfaction.-
DAD: WELL I'LL BE.
[5:59:12 PM] WQ: -looks extremely proud of herself-
[6:04:50 PM] DAD: -keeps on smiling to himself, bringing his pipe up to smoke once again.- WITH THAT, I INTRODUCE MYSELF.
DAD: JAMES EGBERT. SERVICEMAN.
[6:12:45 PM] WQ: It is a pleasure to meet you James. W. Qirin, doctor. -One without a license.-
WQ: I may be mistaken, but are you a new addition to the crew?
[6:33:46 PM] DAD: HELLO QIRIN. I AM INDEED THE MOST RECENT ADDITION TO THE CREW.
DAD: MY ARRIVAL WAS PERHAPS NOT UNDER THE MOST SAVORY OF CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, WE MAY BE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING THAT BEHIND US.
DAD: IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, YOU ARE AN ASSOCIATE OF DR. PAINT AND MY SON. JOHN?
[6:37:05 PM] WQ: Oh yes. Doctor Paint and I have been long time acquaintances. This crew is lucky to have John caring for them. He certainly livens the mood of the infirmary.
[6:38:32 PM] DAD: -all his does is smile some more- PLEASED TO HEAR IT.
[6:40:26 PM] WQ: I am pleased as well to work with such characters. They are equally gifted and I am honored to be their coworker. ^_^
[6:41:18 PM] DAD: WOULD MUCH SAY THE SAME TO YOU, MADAM.
DAD: CARE FOR A REFILL?
[6:47:06 PM] WQ: -AW, that makes her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.-
WQ: Thank you. I would.
WQ: -thinks of another joke-
WQ: While witnessing a snowfall, what did one snowman say to the other?
[6:50:32 PM] DAD: -gladly refills her drink, a good natured air all about him.- WHAT DID HE?
[6:51:20 PM] WQ: -brief pause as she warmed her hands on the cup-
WQ: Look, stem cells.
[6:56:05 PM] DAD: AH. HA.
DAD: EXCELLENT. -he's so content right now-
[7:07:58 PM] WQ: -She's smiling as she drinks and how she managed not to dribble all over herself is a mystery.-
WQ: James. We were not necessarily advertising our location. I suppose I am curious how you found yourself among our company.
WQ: -she isn't accusing him of squat; she really IS curious.-
[7:28:20 PM] DAD: -emits a single puff of smoke from his pipe.- NOT THE EASIEST FEAT. BUT ENTIRELY POSSIBLE WITH PROPER CONNECTIONS.
[7:33:59 PM] WQ: -laughs- I am relieved we did not make it easy. It means we were doing something right.
[8:12:10 PM] DAD: -winks at her and keeps on smoking, so mysterious.-
[8:25:08 PM] WQ: -what is it and human males being well-dressed and deliberately enigmatic.-

TEREZI: -She doesn't really know what to do with herself now that Sirius has taken the long nap before emerging into a beautiful grubterfly, so Terezi was aimlessly wandering the new ship, not having a specific destination in mind. She came across one of the common rooms and poked her head inside to check for any other visitors.-
HIGHBLOOD: *He had been waiting as well, partly waiting things out as well as waiting for Rhodri to get better though a good bit of him had half a mind to put him right back into the infirmary*
HIGHBLOOD: *So he sits and waits and lounges rather openly, stretching his limbs and fiddling with the vending machine*
TEREZI: -afldj;asldjfk;ajfas!! She has full intention of turning around and walking the heckies outta there, but 1. he'd already probably heard her tromping and 2. in extension, her absconding would be super rude. So against her better judgment, she walks through the threshold like oh fancy smelling you here.-
HIGHBLOOD: *He doesn't pay any mind to her being there, the old troll has a good sense of who is and isn't around him at this point of his existence and makes a small grunt at her being there only to lean under his outstretched arm and make eye-contact with the little teal before nodding* sister
TEREZI: -jumps but only inside her brain. She managed to steel herself and give him a courteous nod.- H1GHBLOOD
HIGHBLOOD: doin your daily wander a brother can gather up?
TEREZI: OH Y3S
TEREZI: NOW TH4T TH3 3XC1T3M3NTS D13D DOWN, TH3R3S 4 C3RT41N QU13T WH1CH H4S B3F4LL3N TH3 SH1P
HIGHBLOOD: motherfuckers all shook up and hidin away
HIGHBLOOD: caught in blocks, withdrawn from the dangers of out there while others work to forget *looks to her longer then turns back to the vending machine*
TEREZI: -shivers; well, at least he hasn't honked at her yet. She takes steps to one of the other lil vending machines in the block, squinting at the contents-
TEREZI: H4RD TO FORG3T 4BOUT WH4TS GO1NG ON 'OUT TH3R3' 4S W3LL 4S TH3 SWORD D4NGL1NG OV3R OUR H34DS BY 4 STR4ND OF H41R
HIGHBLOOD: *all looks well in there, nothing suspicious at all*
HIGHBLOOD: hard, but try anyhow
TEREZI: SUCH 1T 1S -she replies with a tiny shrug of her shoulders-
TEREZI: -she decides to get a gachapon for the hell of it.-
HIGHBLOOD: *the machine takes her money and the highblood goes back to work only glancing her way when a gloved hand on a spring goes for the pie at Terezi's face out of the vending slot*
TEREZI: -gets freakin CREAMED and lets out the tiniest of SHRIEKS! She stumbled backwards and only succeeded in the movement of falling right on her rump. The word- FUCK! -reverberates through the halls-
TEREZI: -She's trying to claw that stuff out of her nose because she cant SEE.-
HIGHBLOOD: *small snort* gotta keep on your toes sis
TEREZI: -slightly strained- H4H4 YOU GOT M3!
TEREZI: -she does a slow rise to her feet, pie all over her front and recovering from a mini heart attack. She eventually regained enough composure to flick out her tongue out the side of her mouth. after a couple seconds, she nodded-
TEREZI: NOT B4D
HIGHBLOOD: i ain't a motherfucker who appreciates falsities
HIGHBLOOD: *steps back from the other machine to look over his work* though i'm from some other age of mindsets
HIGHBLOOD: brothers and sisters be some kinda tiptoed
TEREZI: -hhhhh he's coming closer. but she raises an eyebrow (if he can even see it) and dares herself to stay instead of getting tfo- TH3 T4ST3
TEREZI: 1TS NOT T3RR1BL3
HIGHBLOOD: not so much of a baker but my supplier would take that compliment well
HIGHBLOOD: either of them would *he has so many pies*
TEREZI: TH4TS V3RY GOOD FOR H1M TH3N -she used a hand to wipe the rest of the cream off of her face and onto...her shirt, she supposed. It was already pie-fied.-
TEREZI: 1 S33 YOUV3 Y3T TO BR34K TH3 H4B1T OF C4T4P13LT1NG B4K3D GOODS 1N P3OPL3S F4C3S -clowns like jokes, right? oh mother grub she gon die tonight. takes off her glasses to clean those off too, scrunching up the eye she no longer has a prosthetic for-
HIGHBLOOD: not all habits are bad, this is one of em that so happens to be oh so motherfuckin good
HIGHBLOOD: *smiles in her direction* you get used to it and better to it as times pass, sister red knows that much
TEREZI: OH -her voices quakes for a fraction of a second there- JOY

HIGHBLOOD: that assumption would be rightfully positive
HIGHBLOOD: *watches her then moves across the room* sister red is many things patient and friendly only some of her better features
TEREZI: -meanwhile Terezi checks to see if a gachapon toy even came out of the machine. She feels she rightly deserves one now. And since she comes up to GHB's lower abdominal region, he's no less taller ten feet away than he is standing right in front of her.-
TEREZI: ....YOU 4R3 NOT SP34K1NG OF TH3 H4NDM41D, 4R3 YOU?
HIGHBLOOD: *This is why he wears his symbol on his crotch, easier for the small people to see, or sniff. You're welcome. He's being so height conscientious. Sadly the toy didn't come out of the machine though*
HIGHBLOOD: nah, she too bratty for my tastes
HIGHBLOOD: her former matesprit and current wrigglersitter is who i'm talkin about
HIGHBLOOD: redglare
TEREZI: -Well that's a load of bullcrap! She wants her caegar back!! and then she proceeds to choke on her own spit because Redglare was just about the last person she would have guessed. but it made freakin sense due to the proximity legislacerators and subjugglators worked. Frickle.-

TEREZI: -shit, they were treading into waters that terezi had very strong opinions on and she didn't want to forget who she was talking to and slip something adverse to her survival.-

HIGHBLOOD: in goin about much shit
HIGHBLOOD: can't say there bein any one it
HIGHBLOOD: but i'm also the call to motherfuckers goin about it :o)
TEREZI: -she pauses for a second, trying to decipher the clown talk, because had she not, Terezi would have understood less than half of that and to claim any more would be a lie. And even then she was unsure if she understood fully. Dang, is that a chill going up her back at that smile? No? Just the ventilation, then? Good.-
TEREZI: SO

HIGHBLOOD: then do so harvest from it what you will lil teal
TEREZI: -What is it with giant trolls commenting on her height? SURELY there's people aboard shorter than her.-
TEREZI: 1 W1LL! -her face slashes into a wide grin, but half of that is for show.-
HIGHBLOOD: *Everyone is small to him, but she's also the tiniest teal, that's just facts*
HIGHBLOOD: *stands finally and stretches out his limbs* and so with it you do find your answer *heads for the hallways* oh
HIGHBLOOD: and enjoy your snackage sis
TEREZI: -She's grateful she's not chucklevoodoo'ed into a drooling pile, so Terezi simply nods with a- TH4T 1 W1LL, ON BOTH COUNTS -and her eyes follow him out the room, not yet comfortable with turning her back to him just yet. She also picks up the pan and pulls out a fork. It'd be shame to let such good pie go to waste.-

ATRIUM SECURITY RECORDING 0225
[10:20:04 AM] EQUIUS: D --> -Horse is exploring the new cafeteria. He requires tea, but mostly he requires not being in his block. It was more cramped now and he had barely any room for his numerous machinations. He was still more silent than usual, since his ordeals in the caves. After filling his thermos, he took a seat, sipping and staring into seemingly nothing-
[11:30:11 AM] HIGHBLOOD: *Every room is cramped, except for certain areas including the cafeteria. There is a clown that's wandering in and spots the horse. He's gonna seat his hulking ass immediately across from this youngster. Right in his staring space and lean on the table, staring as he stares at nothing*
[11:37:07 AM] EQUIUS: D --> -Usually he'd sweat. The grand highblood THE highblood was sitting across from him. This was a big deal, an honor even. But he was tired, there was much on his plate mentally.-
EQUIUS: D --> E%cuse me, but you're obstructing my view. Your reverence
[11:39:27 AM] HIGHBLOOD: ain't it rude to not be gazin at your conversational partner my spacey motherfucker? *he just made it easier for the small horse. He's very welcome*
[11:40:44 AM] EQUIUS: D --> Isn't it rude to force conversation upon someone
[11:42:33 AM] HIGHBLOOD: it's rude as shit *sips his drink, it's happening anyway*
[11:43:38 AM] EQUIUS: D --> I see. Do as I say, not as I do -Sips tea-
[11:44:14 AM] EQUIUS: D --> What business do you have with me, your e%cellency
[11:45:02 AM | Edited 11:45:26 AM] GAMZEE: *There's a BONK coming from under the table, followed by a groggy noise. Clown had been taking a nap, but was woken by voices, and hit his head on the table. He rubs his head, then slowly comes scooting out from under the table. Tired blinking at nothing, trying to adjust to the waking world.*
[11:46:39 AM] HIGHBLOOD: none business to be had outsida exchangin some whimsical word
HIGHBLOOD: *If Gamzee didn't emerge he would've pulled him out from under the table. Instead just shoves a syrup-coated waffle right at his face hole. Eat child*
[11:52:42 AM] GAMZEE: *He's pretty out of it, then again when is he ever 100% there? He's rubbing at his eyes with the back of his palm, then suddenly there's food in his face???* (FuCkInG MiRaClEs) *Mumbles, then just takes waffle and eats it right there on the floor. Lies on his stomach halfway out from under the table. Nom noms with his eyes shut.*
[11:55:41 AM] HIGHBLOOD: *mother*
HIGHBLOOD: *fucking*
HIGHBLOOD: *PRECIOUS*
HIGHBLOOD: *continues sips tho*
[11:57:26 AM] Sari: DIRK: -arrives in the cafeteria with a little plastic capsule in hand. he wordlessly takes a seat with the others.-
[11:57:41 AM] Sari: DIRK: -opens up the capsule.-
[11:58:00 AM] Sari: DIRK: -sets a tiny banana bird on the table.-
[11:58:04 AM] Sari: DIRK: -you're welcome.-
[12:04:04 PM] GAMZEE: *He's struggling to keep his eyes open, head bobbing some before finally just meeting the floor. Well, meeting the half eaten waffle anyway. He fell right back asleep there, with the sirupy waffle as a pillow, sticking to his face and part of his hair. Soft honksnores.*
[12:07:00 PM] EQUIUS: D --> This table went from peaceful to oversaturated in too quick a time
[12:07:29 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *that tiny thing looks like something someone he knows might appreciate. But at the same time he's tempted to up and eat it. HM.*
HIGHBLOOD: *Gamz glance. Leaves him in his syrup hell and scoots him back under the table with his foot* you gotta social draw it seems
[12:10:02 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Social, abso100tly. Who is the newest member of your brood, most high -Looks down at Gamzee's Syrup trail with disgust. What a disgrace-
[12:11:51 PM] HIGHBLOOD: that sticky motherfuck is brother gamzee *ain't he a doll?*
[12:12:17 PM] Sari: DIRK: -so cold, my dude. he'll try to get a horse gachapon for equius next time.-
[12:18:17 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Sticky as he is -His eyes flick to the bird.- Hello Dirk
[12:19:49 PM] Sari: DIRK: -nods- Sup.
[12:20:41 PM] EQUIUS: D --> (What a pitiable waste)
[12:22:49 PM] HIGHBLOOD: nah brother, that's art
[12:37:37 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Hardly
[12:41:27 PM] HIGHBLOOD: you's a heap of a hardass ain't you? *grinning*
HIGHBLOOD: what IS art opionionated blue?
[12:42:14 PM] GAMZEE: *Another BONK. He's awake again by the sounds of it. He comes out from under the table once more, waffle nowhere to be seen (did he eat it?), but syrup sticking to his face still.*
[12:46:27 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Something that illicits STRONG emotional response. Throbbing and pulsating feelings of grandeur. The opposite of a saccharine minstrel
[12:46:51 PM] EQUIUS: D --> In my most humble opinion, that is
[12:47:11 PM] EQUIUS: D --> -Commence the sweat-
[12:49:48 PM] GAMZEE: *He stands on up, rubbing his head and turning to look at the people making voices happen. He's groggy, eyes out of focus, so he's just seeing a mass of vaguely people shaped blobs. Theys probably friendly though, they sound friendly. Lazy grin + wave combo as he rubs his face with his other hand, just rubbing the syrup more against his face because of it.* SaLuMaTaTiOnS AnD GoOdEsT Of mOtHeRfUcKiNg mOrNiNgS
[12:54:13 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *sees that sweat, sticks a napkin to Equius' temple and presses it to his face before letting his finger tap at the blueblood's chin* humble bein the label you so give it, ain't that humble in all actuality is it? *examines him briefly before turning attention to the skinny clown*
HIGHBLOOD: your mornin
[1:03:37 PM] EQUIUS: D --> I know not what you mean, but thank you for your assistance in attempting to aide me in my trials of perspiration
[1:05:29 PM] HIGHBLOOD: i'm used to dealin with stupid amounts of blue from a mouthy, stone-faced motherfucker
[1:08:17 PM] EQUIUS: D --> You must mean the one slated to be adhesive
[1:08:46 PM] GAMZEE: *Slowblinks. Oh. That blob was big! It big big. His eyes get into focus, and his large grin turns sheepish.* HaHa wAs jUsT Uh fEeLiNg rIgHt mOtHeRfUcKiNg wEaRy *Goes to move his hand away from his face, but it just SMACKS back to his cheek from the sticky syrup/makeup mess. Internal clown sweating. He laughs though, seemingly unaffected.* AnD ThEm tIlEs bE ReAl cOzY To gEt aLl dOwN On *Stares at Equius. Staaaares. He hasn't seen this guy before. Friendly: HoNk :o) in his direction.*
[1:09:29 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Hello
[1:12:06 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *drops 2 liter faygo on Gamzee, still watching Equius* haven't gotten my arounds none such yet
[1:14:46 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Taking your time -Sips again, more sweating. That is the soggiest napkin-
[1:15:40 PM] GAMZEE: *Big grins at being spoken to and waves his free hand with much enthusiasm.* Yo tHeRe
GAMZEE: DoN'T ThInK I'Ve hAd mY PeEpErS AlL Up oN YoU N-- *Suddenly faygo in his hand and eyes just go very big and very starry. Gaaaaasppp. Stares at faygo. Stares at Grand Big. Just no words. He would point at himself quizzingly, but both his hands are full.*
[1:16:52 PM] HIGHBLOOD: i prefer a hands on approach when learnin up motherfuckers that press on my intrigue
HIGHBLOOD: :o) *at both him and Gamzee. Look at these adorable little shits*
[1:17:46 PM] EQUIUS: D --> What have I done to gain the intrigue of one so superior
[1:19:35 PM] HIGHBLOOD: that is the question ain't it?
[1:20:25 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Which is why I asked it
[1:20:32 PM] GAMZEE: :oD ! *He is just the biggest grin right now, crinkling his eyes and scrunching his nose because of it. Clown sparkles.*
GAMZEE: *Holding the faygo under his arm and trying to get it open with the same hand. Why must his other hand be so sticky and also sticking to his face why this. Comical jumping/prying in the bg.*
[1:22:50 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *He's fully convinced Gamzee will either open it or hurt himself but he's not gonna help*
HIGHBLOOD: and with such not all questions have answers, lest you find em on your own
[1:27:26 PM] GAMZEE: *Sits down crosslegged on the floor. Holds bottle. Uses teeths to try and get it open. Don't mind him, just genius at work here nbd.*
[1:36:26 PM] EQUIUS: D --> Only because the universe deigns it necessary for the answers to be held by the stubborn and nonsensical
[1:40:48 PM] HIGHBLOOD: that's a grandass way of puttin it lil brother blue *turn's Equius' head to the side with one hand and leans on his other, v amused*
HIGHBLOOD: thusly you've observed it's your fate to sit and observe and not-know *turns his head to the other side* ain't that right by all rights of design?
[1:47:55 PM] EQUIUS: D --> It seems such is the position, the universe decided necessary for me -He gulps as his face is touched and sweats a bit more. This encounter was very hard on his pusher. The highblood showed him mercy on this day-
[1:51:46 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *look at this sweaty child, squishes his cheeks together then pulls at his shirt and nudges to lean him back. Casually manhandles*
HIGHBLOOD: it knows where to place us ain't that right? none such position too much or too less for those most vulnerable to it's whims
[1:57:17 PM] EQUIUS: D --> For the most part I am in agreeance
[1:59:52 PM] HIGHBLOOD: elaborate yourself blue
[2:14:31 PM] EQUIUS: D --> When the universe commands me that it's the right time
[2:30:41 PM] HIGHBLOOD: often it does when least expected :o)
[2:37:15 PM] EQUIUS: D --> You are correct
[2:41:02 PM] HIGHBLOOD: often i am as you'll find most frequent tiny neigh bro
[2:43:23 PM] EQUIUS: D --> That remains to be observed -He places his hand on ghbs wrist like okay that's enough touching-
[2:46:49 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *its never enough touching tbh* you've observed it some seconds ago, pay attention
[2:49:09 PM] EQUIUS: D --> I am -Squeezes the wrist. GHB is strong, but he will forcible move his hand if need be...maybe-
[2:55:32 PM] HIGHBLOOD: :o) *squeezes his cheeks again, squish*
[2:57:39 PM] EQUIUS: D --> I believe it's time for me to return to work -STRONG pries his hand off his face-
EQUIUS: D --> Thank you
[3:00:44 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *smiles and watches the horse as he actually takes a step to reclaim his face*
HIGHBLOOD: bestow gratitude upon yourself
[3:30:05 PM] EQUIUS: D --> -He's taken by surprise and his instinct is to rip the hand away from his face. But he remembers who this is, what he is and he stops himself before claws have dug too deep-
EQUIUS: D --> Perhaps I should curse myself as well
[3:52:43 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *His smile widens for a moment then just lets him have his face* mayhaps
[4:27:02 PM] EQUIUS: D --> -He looks back, stone faced and unwavering but trembling on the inside. Staring into the eyes of all encompassing power. He let out a low growl of a breath-
EQUIUS: D --> Until ne%t we meet, your mirthful e%cellency -HORSE OUT-

He shouldn't be so surprised honestly, there were a whole lot of people that looked like one another around here. Tries telling himself this and being CASUAL while shimmying.*
[6:44:46 PM] HIGHBLOOD: *He's talking to the vending machine. Slowly sipping the soda* see, area is hells of social

ATRIUM SECURITY RECORDING 0181
[10:32:06 AM] REDGLARE: -She hasn't left her room since showing up at the wedding, nor has she been much of a presence at all on the ship. She appears to have at least bathed more than once since the occasion, since she seems moderately put together under the circumstances. Not that she does much to hide the slump in her back or the bags under her eyes. Her head is down as she walks, though not for lacking a sense of alertness, trained eyes scanning the area every opportunity she can manage.-
[11:08:07 AM] TEREZI: -Aside from her regular duties, Terezi has been scarce in public areas aboard the ship, having one very large, increasingly growing responsibility and another considerably tinier one. She's long since put her TUMUT uniform away, seeing no point in wearing it now (and for various reasons) and has on something a little brighter instead, still falling under the range of showing a semblance of professionalism. She looks tired, not exhausted, but that could be put into question on how wide she's keeping her eyes in efforts to stay awake. She's running on three cups of sugar saturated with coffee, and a single protein bar for the past twenty-four hours and is crossing the atrium in hopes of prospects of a meal differing from grubloaf and potatoes due to the recent rationing.-
TEREZI: -Upon espying a fellow Pyrope, she shuffled up beside her- HOW GO3S TH3 P4TROL?
[11:17:10 AM] REDGLARE: Not p4troll1ng. Just n33d food. -She nods to her in greeting. On the subject of coffee, she is certainly going to fill herself a cup. Does taste matter? No, not at all. Just the rich, full-fledged chemical stimulants it's full of.- R4n out qu1ck. N33d to. K33p stock.
[11:29:20 AM] TEREZI: -She's going to get actual food in her system today, whether or not the only thing on the menu is grubloaf. She nods, eyes still circles, and wanders in the direction of the cafeteria line with a purpose! More like dragging herself to her intended destination.- Y3S, FOOD 1S GOOD -says it so both words rhyme. Was that intentional? Likely not.-

GHB: *watches them converse, it ain't no thang*
[2:58:56 PM] TEREZI: -Yes, it totally IS a THANG-
TEREZI: -Perhaps the only thing preventing her from standing up and absconding the heck out is 1, she's still hungry, and 2, she's busy making little spherical pieces of food for her block's recent lodger.-
[3:01:43 PM] GHB: *looks at Terezi* ...... ;o)
GHB: *sips faygo, it's been a while since just his presence made people nervous since he's been on this ship*
