[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?

No. I'm still reeling about everything. I don't have a dress, and my aquatic bladder's just not in it.

Hey, I'm sure we can be all getting our claws on a dress if we look hard enough. [more gently] 'sides, it might help take your pan off shit, you know? No roms or nothing, just a bunch of friends getting our groove on. I hate seeing you all down like this.

[cullscuttlefish]

[She sighs. On the one hand? No-roms-attached fun with friends? That would be nice. On the other? She doesn't particularly want to see either Eridan or Sollux right now.]

I don't know. Who all's glubbing?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Uhhh...I ain't sure yet, but I think most of us trolls are. Jade too, and some of my starmonkey friends and hoofsisters, you'll all what like them a lot. [pause] Pretty sure Eridan ain't gonna be making an appearance, if that's what you're all stressing your vascular pump about.

[cullscuttlefish]

I don't know...let me think about it, okay? I'll let you know. I'm just...yeah. Reeling about it all.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Sure, chica, take all the motherfuckin' time you need. Important thing here's turning that frown into a smile, yeah? Haha, and you can hit me up too if you're all needing some paint for that.

[chastesaw]

Actually.

Strictly speaking, what Feferi said about not possessing a dress... is not true.

I have one for her.

[this is the first time Gamzee has been phonejacked, so he is just going to stare at it blankly for a few moments]

Uhhhhhhhhhh.

Shit, fishtits, did you all up and turn into Kanaya? Whoa, miracles.

[chastesaw]

No, Gamzee, I have used the audio hook to interject myself into, or to use the common parlance, "butt in" the conversation you and Feferi were having. Feferi is not me any more than you are.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Whoooooooooa, am I Kanaya now too?








...I don't feel any smarter, though.

[chastesaw]

No, Gamzee, you are still entirely Gamzee as much as you have ever been.

I will reconsider my metaphors and turns of phrases in our conversations more carefully in the future.

[cullscuttlefish]

W-what the glub --

Kanaya, I said not to --

...thank you.

[chastesaw]

You know, I really oughtn't be surprised that an interjection into a conversation can be heard by all parties involved and not merely one of them. And yet.

But intentions of keeping it a surprise aside, yes. I thought that you might appreciate having something nice to wear even if it was not to an event. That it would perhaps cheer you up.

So you have a nice dress now.

[cullscuttlefish]

Thank you, Kanaya.

[chastesaw]

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

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Feferi, hey.

Gamzee, hang up for a second.

[cullscuttlefish]

What's glubbing on, Karkat?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

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.

[cullscuttlefish]

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

[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.

[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.

[cullscuttlefish]

You and me both.
