[So it seems like there's been a lot of drama and hurt feelings lately! Gamzee doesn't really get it, but you know what's fun? Parties and dancing and getting to hang out with your friends all night are fun! Surely this will be a great way to cheer everyone up! And okay, there's some kind of weird human thing about only going to hiveapproaching dances with one person, but that does not sound like it would be as much fun as going with lots of people, so clearly humans just have no idea what they're talking about.]

Haha, so I guess the starmonkey dance is tomorrow? I heard you're all what only supposed to be going with a partner, but shit, that ain't sounding real fair to me for the motherfuckers that can't be finding one or wanna go with all their friends. Ain't cool for anyone to be left out, y'know?

So yeah, if any motherfucker out there still needs someone to go with, hit a brother up, honk! Let's get this motherfuckin' friend date show on the road. [beat, and then awkwardly because Gamzee has no idea how to filter anything ever but he wants to make sure his friend is okay] Feferi, you going?

Comments

[chastesaw]

Your thanks aren't necessary. But they are welcome.

Gamzee, if you haven't hung up already, get off your ass and do it.

Okay, I'm probably sticking my sniffnode where it doesn't belong, but if you're at all interested in going to homecoming, I sort of had a thought.

[midnight-chorus.livejournal.com]

I'll meet you there, but I got my own plans on who to come with~

[cullscuttlefish]

...oh? And what would that be, Crabsnack?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Whooooa, bells? That's sounding like some real sweet motherfuckin' threads you're gonna be rocking there!

I'm Gamzee, honk! And it's cool, we can be striking up a sizzling friendship now, haha.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Whoooops, guess I must have gotten my bad self lost again. That hive was being all way too motherfuckin' big.

Are you okay now? Ain't feeling like you're gonna be going shithive maggots again?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

It's where I store all my shit, sis. You saying you hoofbeasts ain't got one of those?

Haha, there ain't gonna be any room on the dance floor because of all the fine goodies we'll be bringing! It's gonna be off the chain.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Well, I ain't gonna be intruding if you've got some friend dates of your own. Looking forward to seeing you there, chica!

[awkward

silence]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

I got lots of friend dates, but there ain't nothing wrong with more. You interested in coming with too?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[there is nothing wrong with going to homecoming with a big group of people okay why is everyone acting so weird about this gosh]

Yeah! If that's okay with you? Saves us the trouble of having to find them there, and I ain't wanting any motherfuckers to be left out just because they don't got a date.

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

It's just an-- [Pause. Why does she get the feeling he won't get it...] Aaah, nevermind~

Weeeellll then, nice to meetcha, new friend! This thingie's tomorrow night, right? I'll meet you properly then, I guess~

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

And that's the problem.

You can't just assume she won't mind something like this if you never bothered to ask.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's no big deal if you're not interested.

I just thought, I don't know, if it was me, it might be fun to have someone to go with. And...just between us, Tavros is kind of down in the refuse blocks over some rom problems he's been going through, and since he doesn't have a date, I think he's not going to show.

I just thought it might be good for him if he had someone to go with, just as friends. And I thought maybe that might sound good to you, too. To take your pan off everything else.

[ Nothing wrong with it when you're not already bringing a date, anyway. Jade looks away, a little uncomfortable, taking her time in answering. It's not that she's opposed to the idea, but this is technically their first date, and well-- she doesn't know exactly. ]

Sure, um, I guess so.

[cullscuttlefish]

...I wasn't going to show either, to be honest. But just as friends...I can handle this, I think. So long as it's crystal-clear that there's nothing else intended there.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more. Misunderstandings are definitely not a thing I want to happen.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet ya too! Always real exciting to be making a new motherfuckin' friend. And I'll keep my eye out for the sister all decked out in bells, haha.

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

[This comes in pretty late, extremely quietly, and after about an hour of calling and then hanging up again as soon as someone answers.]

Uh, hey, Gamzee.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Uhhhh...why wouldn't she? What's wrong with going with a bunch of brothers and sisters?

[midnight-chorus.livejournal.com]

You'll definitely see me there. And people will be SURE to notice me!

[cullscuttlefish]

You and me both.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[Miraculously, Gamzee manages to notice she doesn't seem that happy about this...or maybe it's because he just had a conversation with Karkat, who knows.]

You sure? It's just that I want everyone to be having a good time, y'know? And we can all be heading on a real flush date without any friend dates along later.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[It is a good thing that Gamzee has no problem with picking up the phone twenty million times and having the other person hang up, then.]

Tavros! [NO GAMZEE KEEP IT COOL haha yeah like there's a fat chance of that every happening] Hey, bro! Ain't heard from you in a while. [if by a while, we mean like...a day and a half...] The motherfuck is up?

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

[wow they are really good at this not talking thing]

Not much, really, I mean, aside from things, which I am not really here to talk about. What about, um, you?
