miraculls[Action; inside 1338 Benny]
[Some people deal with teenage drama and fights with their best friends by drowning their sorrows in ice cream and shitty movies. Gamzee, on the other hand, drowns his sorrows in pies. Unfortunately, the human pies don't work half as well as his sopor ones do when it comes to making him feel better, plus his stomach starts hurting after he downs a whole tin for some reason. This hasn't stopped him from baking dozens and dozens of them, though.
Anyone who comes into the kitchen of 1338 Benny will find Gamzee covered head to toe in flour, as well as what looks to be a minor explosion of various ingredients all over the countertops, including several that have no business being anywhere near a pie. The table, meanwhile, is stacked with piping hot pies. If this were one of Karkat's paleromcoms, this would be the incredibly pathetic scene where Gamzee starts wailing the lyrics to "All By Myself (Don't Wanna Be Culled Anymore)" at the top of his lungs.]
[Action; outside 1338 Benny]
[Having been scolded by both drone parents because 'boys shouldn't be doing girly activities like baking', Gamzee has relocated his table of pies outdoors and is currently munching on a slice. Taped across the table is a large sign that reads:
Gamzee looks kind of lonely, come share a slice with him? There's three different types of pies to choose from:
1) Regular pies: through the power of miracles, Gamzee has actually managed to bake pies that most people would be familiar with, like apple and banana cream and cherry.
2) Stoner pies: the ingredients in these are kind of weird! You might get a strange but nonetheless delicious one, like peanut butter chocolate potato chips pie, or a pie filled with ice cream and soda. On the other hand, you might also get one with hamburger meat and strawberry syrup.
3) Pot pies: they look like normal pies, but Gamzee's added a special ingredient that the greasers at the high school said would make miracles happen. He's not sure how a bag full of what looks like grass is supposed to accomplish this, but humans can be pretty weird sometimes! Don't worry, there isn't enough pot in these pies to get anyone sick, just high.]

Her world hadn't had much room for that, lately. That's probably not good, that she's letting her most basic programming take part in all the big decisions. The basic programming really preferred violence...
She scrapes the last few pie crust flakes from her plate, glancing away.]
..he... sure had a lot of feelings, he did.
I'm fine! I'm healing! And I'm still a... starmonkey... not a... robot. It'll be obvious when I get my body back. I'll be purple, for starters.

Date: 2011-09-12 10:59 pm (UTC)...whooooooooa, you're a purpleblood? Shit, me too! Haha, I ain't got gills or fins though, do you?

Date: 2011-09-12 11:06 pm (UTC)You've got a lot of faith in the fundamental goodness of others. There's not enough of that in this town. You'd better keep that up.
[Meanwhile... MORE PIE. What's this one with fluffy white-and-brown stuff on top? She cuts herself a slice.]
...I have receiver antennas. I don't really bleed purple. I just am purple. Those are just the colors I requested when they last rebuilt me.
[Pie is sampled! Oooh, there's chocolate and... crunchy things in it.]
But if you had your body, you'd bleed purple? Why wouldn't you have gills or fins?

Date: 2011-09-12 11:49 pm (UTC)Whooooa, you have purple skin? I bet that's real motherfuckin' pretty to see. [squints at her, obviously trying to imagine her as purple] And yeah, I got the royal jelly all up in my hemo. I ain't a seadweller though. [beat.] Hahaha, I think it's the seadwellers what have got the purple blood? I can't keep track of these things.

Date: 2011-09-14 12:30 am (UTC)I'm not a robot. I am a CAST. It is totally different and kind of complicated and please don't call me a robot?
[She wags the fork at him, sighs, and then tucks into more pie.]
...I'd like to think they built me to be pretty. [Mumbling through mouthful of pie] ..did ask fr' custom ad'stmnts... [gulp] So purple-blooded people are royalty? ...you're royalty? Other trolls have other colors of blood? You sound like very interesting people.

Date: 2011-09-14 03:12 am (UTC)Haha, I think you're real motherfuckin' pretty now. And yeah, something like that! I ain't royalty though, that's Fef. I think. Fuck, I don't really know, I can never be remembering which colors are high and low. That kind of shit don't really matter to me anyway.

Date: 2011-09-14 03:16 am (UTC)That's fine. We're all standing on unfamiliar ground. But we can work it out! That's what good people do.
[Hey! She's blushing at the compliment! Ugh, blushing always made her feel so overheated...]
You trolls sound like interesting people. Are there a lot of you in Mayfield?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-16 04:32 am (UTC)Yeah, I think there's -- [counts on his fingers out loud] -- seven or eight of us motherfuckers around now? But there ain't that many who've up and gotten back their troll self, some of us are still starmonkeys like me.

Date: 2011-09-16 06:22 pm (UTC)[Ooof. Man. So much pie. She sets her plate and fork down and pats her stomach, wide-eyed.]
...I'm going to have to add some length to my morning jog. But thank you for the pie! It was delicious.
