008 ♑ [eighth honk]

Characters: [OU] Gamzee and you!
Setting: Laundry room.
Format: Action.
Summary: After having his ass forcefully dragged to the ablution chamber by his moirail for a scrub-down (and then subsequently jumping on to a pile of rifles and blowing himself to bits, negating all efforts anyway), Gamzee is feeling a little bit like a burden, and decides to do his own laundry for once. It would certainly help if he knew how.
Warnings: Gamzee.





[This was certainly somewhere Gamzee had never been.]

[Laundry was certainly something he had never, ever done or entertained the thought of doing.]

[He was now, however, on the third washing machine in (seeing as the first had exploded in thick, swirling plumes of dark smoke and bubbles - presumably as a result of using two bottles of detergent, and the second one had proceeded to overflow, and then overflow some more after he punched and dented its cover in a hissy fit), trying to decipher the knobs and dials so he could at least attempt to get the correct settings for his new winter jacket. He was a little worse for wear, by now. The washing machines liked to spew scalding water whenever possible, and it had doused him more than once. His hands were soapy and bright purple from being burnt as he reached for the knob on the third machine.]

[Dying had sort of solved his hygeine problem. He stood there now looking as clean as ever - face paint carefully applied like it had been when he'd first arrived, hair its natural jet black again, ratted and tangled in a mess of curls. The clothes on his back were also reverted, so they really didn't need any washing (well, they certainly did seeing as he came from being stuck on a meteor for God knows how long, but they were infinitely cleaner than they had been just yesterday).]

[A steaming pie sat smack dab in the middle of the cover to the current, functioning machine he was attempting to use. He eyed it warily. Breakfast sounded much better than trying to figure this shit out further, as it was only proving to make him more frustrated. He didn't want to punch this one to bits like its brethren and have to move on to a fourth. Maybe a snack break wasn't such a bad idea?]

[Detergent bottles were everywhere. He'd used two on the first machine, the rest of a half-empty one on the second, and accidentally dumped another full one all over the floor (and himself). Between the clouds of smoke, he waded through the syrupy liquid to seek out another bottle for his third attempt at washing this damn thing.]

[This would be a lot easier if he would just ask for help. But, he couldn't. After the whole shower thing, he'd been feeling much like an unintelligent, useless burden. Even though he hadn't really ever been taught how to use one of these things (or even that one should wash their clothes on a regular basis), he figured it would have been pretty easy to teach himself. Evidently not.]

[Now, where was that other detergent bottle?]

[Eridan offered Gamzee a slightly more lighthearted smirk.]

Feels like ages ago, huh?

[He grinned at Gamzee's reaction on the news of blood though.]

Well, it is unless you're a fastidious cleaning machine who's perfected the method after witnessing the horrors of rotten blood and brain matter mixed with maggots.

[Eyebrow.]

I don't suppose you want to buy the secret recipe.
chronomancer: (♒ they'll inherit your souls)

How 'bout a nice hunting trip? We ain't gone out killin' shit in forever.

[And someone here really needs to kill shit before he goes around killing people.]
chronomancer: (♒ what are we living for)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-03 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
...oh fuck. I think we should go.

[A hand reached out to grab Gamzee by the elbow.]

Now.

[Have a forceful jank, heading for the exit.]
chronomancer: (♒ leaves me tired all the time)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-03 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Can't we make a new one?

[Not budging. Eridan has no intention of dying via boiled water thanks to Gamzee.]
chronomancer: (♒ my life away)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-03 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Eridan shrieked a little at the explosion, somehow going from pulling Gamzee back, to hiding behind Gamzee. He peered over Gamzee's shoulder, blinking slowly.]

He was a brave, excellent pie.
chronomancer: (♒ leaves me tired all the time)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-04 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
We'll remember him for--eeeerk!

[Gamzee found his target and in retaliation, Eridan smacked his back, squirming back and putting distance between them.]

The fuck was that for!
chronomancer: (♒ of useless aggravation)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-04 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
...let's go wash the blood off whatever the fuck you need it washed off, yeah?

[Eridan is not even bothering to complain anymore.]
chronomancer: (♒ then don't bring it to mine)

FOOL! It's punching bag's noble (pie) tin soldier brother. Duh.

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-04 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He's saving it up. It'll explode in your face when you least expect it. Eridan gives Gamzee a pointed look.]

...Gamzee.

[Don't try his patience, little troll, it's severely depleted where you are concerned.]
chronomancer: (♒ another hero)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-05 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Eridan shrugs, nonplussed by the irritated snap.]

Pie or washing, bro, which one do you want to tackle first?
chronomancer: (♒ so scared of what we're doing)

I'm immortalizing it just cause I'm an asshole.

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-07 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Uh.

[Eridan gives Gamzee an odd look.]

What?
chronomancer: (♒ which isn't yours)

BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT PORN IN YOUR MIND.

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-12 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eridan looks at Gamzee for a long, long moment, somewhat confused, before he finally shrugs.]

Okay.

[Hey, look. Not everything has to be a fucking battle around here.]
