> Nepeta and Gamzee: Ship all the things

[bestestfurrend]

[When the recording starts the picture is moving along in a rather strange, jerky motion, up to a door that gets headbutted open by the feathery head that's holding the starfish in its mouth, revealing...

...what seems to be the low-lit interior of something more akin to a cave than a room, littered with messy piles of soft scraps and plushies and yarn and even the occasional teapot.

A monstrous shadow looms on the wall, a fearsome looking four-horned creature.]

You're the best, Gamzee! I'd nefur have been able to reach to use all that extra wall if you weren't here, nope nope nope!

[And with a squawk the chocobo drops the SFC, sending it cartwheeling until it points at the origins of that shadow, a messier-than-usual kitty troll perched on a clown troll's shoulders, various hues of paint staining her hands and clothes and even her cheeks, still dripping a bright red from an outstretched paintbrush that had been adding the finishing touches to a heart high up on:]



Oh, Pounce! Hi Pounce! I'm really glad that Gamzee brought you to visi...POUNCE WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?! OH NOOOOO...

[She attempts to leap at the wall to block it from view; this doesn't go well when instead it just makes both trolls topple over in a tangle of limbs.]

My wallllllll! [click!]

I just. I.

[ She dashes the tears from her eyes, finally, feeling stupid and useless for letting herself cry. ]

I wanted us to stick together.

[aim_exorable]

...I did, too.

[o8liter8]

And now it's like...you don't want me around anymore. You just deal with me when you have to. When I'm offending your delicate blueblood sensibilities, or when I'm hanging around making things difficult for you.

I don't like it. I hate it here. I just want to sail off and not have to deal with this anymore.

[aim_exorable]

I don't know how to deal with you.

[Awkward and hesitant, his hand drops down once again.]

Not... with this kind of time difference. I don't know what you want of me.

[o8liter8]

I want- I don't know, I...want to be something important to you again, I guess. It's not like I need you or anything, just. It was fun. Nice, you know.

I know, it's stupid. Whatever. I'm too tired to care anyway.

[ Crying doesn't happen often for Mindfang. It takes a lot out of her. ]

[aim_exorable]

[An exasperated sigh.]

If you weren't important to me, do you think I would be up here with you?

[o8liter8]

Because you pushed the wrong button and feel guilty about it.

[ She watches him, a touch warily. ]

If I walked into your hive tomorrow, you'd do anything you could to kick me out, right?

[aim_exorable]

I believe I would spend more time trying to convince Equius not to do as such, as a matter of fact.

[He doesn't make eye contact, awkward without his glasses to hide his thoughts.]

[o8liter8]

So am I welcome in your hive, then?

[ trying to sound casual and failing. SO TENTATIVE... ]

[aim_exorable]

It isn't as if I were able to stop you before.

[SO CASUAL????]

[o8liter8]

But there's a difference. Between putting up with and being okay with it.

[ THE MOST CASUAL!!! ]

[aim_exorable]

Well... if I truly wasn't 'okay' with it, then I imagine I would have killed you or some such thing...

[Are we sure????]

[o8liter8]

Well. Fine then! If you say so.

[ so super cereal sure. ]

[aim_exorable]

Indeed.

[Wow this is stupid.]
