pull out the fifth cord

[thereisnopie]

Characters: (AU3)Gamzee and you.
Setting: cafeteria
Format: Any.
Summary: Therapy?
Warnings: Language. Possible violence if people get rowdy.

After his earlier post, Gamzee can be found chilling in the cafeteria with his feet propped up on one of the tables.

Someone had rearranged things since he'd last been there, given that the circle he used for his weekly counseling sessions no longer existed, but that was easily rectified once he could get a head count. The number of attendees was rarely the same.

[belated ooc: Gamzee is affected by the aging event, in case anyone is confused. These sessions are normal only in his future.]

Stuff I don't want to know. Demons are bad enough without being crazy demon kings.

[thereisnopie]

Well you didn't mention the demon part...

How powerful a demon are we talking about here?

[demonfly]

The most powerful. Lucifer's a badass even when he's crazy.

[thereisnopie]

...So I'm confused. Do you or do you not like your boss?

[demonfly]

I respect his power. I'm afraid of him when he's at his most batshit.

Do I like him? I don't know that either.

[thereisnopie]

Maybe that's something you should be taking the time to figure out, yeah?

Like, how you consider your working relationship.

[demonfly]

That's probably a good idea. Thanks a lot.

[thereisnopie]

I'm just here for advice. Hoping to lend a hand where it's needed.

[demonfly]

You're a good guy.

[thereisnopie]

Heh. Guess sometimes I try.

[demonfly]

Not all the time?

[thereisnopie]

Heh. I'm here to give counsel, not be a fucking saint.

[demonfly]

A demon wouldn't want a saint anyway.

[thereisnopie]

[He grins.]

Good deal, then.

[demonfly]

I'm Zett. What's your name?

[thereisnopie]

Gamzee.

Just 'Zee is fine.

[demonfly]

Zee it is. Nice to meetcha.

[thereisnopie]

Likewise, brother bug.

[demonfly]

So brozee, how long have you been here?

[thereisnopie]

Shiiit... About half my lifetime, I think.

[Which is a little depressing.]

[demonfly]

That's pretty bad. I've heard of somebody who's been here for most of theirs.

[thereisnopie]

Damn, man.

Think maybe at some point I stopped caring about getting out. Might be the same with them.

[demonfly]

I'm going to get out. But it might take a while.

[thereisnopie]

You got yourself some plans?

[demonfly]

Boss is gathering recruits. After that, I'm not allowed to say.
