pull out the first cord

Characters: Gamzee and YOU.
Setting: Over several floors. You can pick where you run into him.
Format: Starting in prose. Will match anything.
Summary: Gamzee wanders, believing he's attached to the machine again.
Warnings: Typical troll pottymouth + bonus. Also most of my icons are kinda cruddy placeholders right now.


It feels real enough. He'll give it that. But then, it had always felt real to him. There were times he wondered if he'd ever actually been removed from the program at all. Perhaps they'd just let him feel like he had while still keeping him securely under their control.

This was a little silly, though. Even for them.

Gamzee had found his clothes, changing into them gratefully as that tight white outfit just wouldn't fly. He even wore the straight jacket, buckles hanging loose and long sleeves falling past his hands as his arms hung at his sides. In a way, he likes what it stands for. And here even that is a small comfort.

Cal's arms are looped around his neck, tied in a simple knot so they stay in place, and the doll hangs down his back. His silent partner. He takes everything in as he quietly walks the halls. What's left of the sedatives from the ward make him appear a bit dazed, but they'll wear off soon enough.

"Not if you rip apart the band hall."

After all, it isn't difficult to bring in new musicians. Bring down the equipment and you're free to play whatever you want.

She shrugs. Honestly at this point it's less about crafting a working metaphor and more about just being sarcastically silly for her.

"Nobody notices you if you don't go big."

She tsks facetiously, shaking her head in mock disappointment.

"Oh, don't fucking get into the philosophical timeline shit on me now. We were having such a nice conversation."

"Yeah, because I've never heard that before." she says, executing yet another miraculously palpable hidden eyeroll in the process. "That shit's all perspectives and opinions anyway."

"There aren't enough universal constants in existence for me to believe you without proof."

It's a simple fact, really. The infinitely branching timelines were so diverse that even truths didn't always carry over into the next world that the Tower threw into their midst.
restitchtime: (☄ your devotion has the look)

"Now that is something that's definitely a universal constant." She laughs a little, faintly amused. Sometimes she felt like her entire life constituted pounding her head against some brick wall or another.

"Good thing I don't actually give a fuck or we'd be in some deep shit."

"Yeah, there's more than enough shit to deal with here without pummeling each other over goddamn reality perspectives. I'm sure we'll find a better reason to harass each other later anyway."

That was usually how all her acquaintanceships went, after all. It was a little soothing in its predictability.
