[became]

[ oh hello, giant creepy spaceship. have a shiny, shiny smile directed your way. said shiny smile is attached to a freakishly put together looking gentleman. dapper, one might call him. ]

So... space, huh? [ neal adjusts his cuffs-- he's wearing a suit (a real suit: classic, 50's style devore, for any suit buffs) because fuck that jumpsuit crap right in the ear-- fussily, smile dropping wattage just a tiny bit. ] Does anyone want to catch me up a little more on that, out of curiosity? Because I have to admit, other than the bits and pieces I caught wandering around the first day I have no idea what's going on.

Anyway, come on. Help a new guy out, anybody? [ smile ratcheting up another few notches. aaaaaand HOLY CHARM BATMAN. doesn't everyone watching just want to drop everything and help? (yes. your answer is yes.) ] I'll owe you one.

[ just the barest wince at the profanity; not that neal is overly moralistic-- being a conman kind of precludes it, actually-- but he's enough of a snob to twitch an eyebrow at easy profanity. ]

Right now, I don't even know where to begin.

[lovesfaygo]

Hey, it's all fine. I can get my help on if it's the space thing, I'm kind of used to it. It's a motherfucking miracle. Honk.

[ Yeah, he actually just honked. There's a lazy smile to go with his glazed over look, too. Even if he has horns and fangs and weird ears and grey skin, he most certainly is stoned. ]

Heheheh. I'm Gamzee.

[became]

...Neal.

[ what the fuck even is this though, really. ]

[lovesfaygo]

It's nice to fucking meet you.

[ He doesn't sound excited, per se, but he's certainly pleased. ]

Want some pie?

[became]

Do we have pie?

[lovesfaygo]

I have pie. It's delicious and shit.

[became]

Well, that's... certainly a recommendation for it.

[ugh i meant to say this is audio sorry]

[lovesfaygo]

You should eat some with me, it sends you to the motherfucking miracle world with rainbows and shit.

[ There's a few seconds of silence, and then Gamzee continues. ]

Sometimes you can just stare at things for fucking hours, bro. This pie is a motherfucking miracle.

I SAW NOTHING ELSE neal is forever vidya

[became]

...This pie wouldn't happen to have marijuana in it, would it?

[lovesfaygo]

What's marijuana?

[ There's your answer, Neal. It's a no. ]

[became]

A drug. Are there other drugs in this pie?

[audio]

[lovesfaygo]

Well

It's motherfucking sopor slime.

Trolls aren't supposed to eat it but I do anyway. It's the motherfucking best, brother. Honk.

[became]

I have to be honest with you, I don't know what any of that meant.

[audio ---> video]

[lovesfaygo]

[ Fine, then, Neal. Gamzee's gonna motherfucking show you. He fumbles with the communicator until he clicks the video: grey-skinned, horned, fanged, and holding a neon pile of slime. ]

Motherfuckin' pie, brother.

I don't really know how to put this delicately, so I'm sorry for that in advance.

What are you?

( video )

[lovesfaygo]

High as a motherfucker, brother.

( video )

[became]

No, I got that part loud and clear. Is it makeup, or prosthetics-- [ and for the first time, neal caffrey is lost for words. ]

( video )

[lovesfaygo]

Oh, yeah, bro![ He reaches a hand to wipe at his face, some of the white coming off. ]

Motherfucking face paint. I do it every morning, it's a motherfucking thing. Honk.

I'm down with the motherfucking clown.

[ Because Gamzee sees absolutely nothing wrong with grey skin and assumes it's his facepaint. ]

( video )

[became]

...Right. That's-- right.

[ what can he even say. ]

You're always grey, then?

[permavideo]

[lovesfaygo]

Yeah, brother.

Unless it changed when I wasn't motherfucking looking.

I've always been grey since I was a grub, man.
