♑ first honk • video/text • february 13th • noon

[thehonking]

[The feed clicks on to show the smiling, painted face of a troll. Gamzee's clown paint had been as messed up when he'd arrived as it had been in the Veil, but he's since repainted it. This doesn't hide the three scabbing over claw marks running diagonal from one side to the other.

He stares into the camera for a short while, saying nothing, before giving a wink and a short wave. It's a friendly hello, really. A greeting to those who don't know him and a way to let those that do see that he's back again.

And perhaps to let them know what shape he's in as well.

Then the video shuts off again, and the following message is left in familiar courier text.]

honk.

No need to be harsh, brother. We all got our differences.

[cursedwithagift]

That's not a difference. That's an abomination.

[thehonking]

[That just gets him more laughter.]

[cursedwithagift]

It's not a laughing matter. This is a serious issue!

[thehonking]

Can't take everything so motherfuckin' serious, bro. Ain't all good for you here.

[He thumps a fist lightly to his chest.]

[cursedwithagift]

I only take things seriously that need to be. [which is, you know, everything. but he's pretty sure his heart won't burst anytime soon. that would be messy, and it knows better than that.]

[thehonking]

Callin' fuckin' bullshit on that one.

[cursedwithagift]

Then you're wrong. I don't have the time to get upset over stupid things.

[thehonking]

So what are you callin' this?

[cursedwithagift]

Horrific.

[thehonking]

[Gamzee cracks back up into laughter at that.]

[cursedwithagift]

Well, it is.

[congratulations Gamzee. you ruffled Monk's feathers enough for him to spend the extra five minutes figuring out the italic feature.]

[thehonking]

You're so motherfuckin' cute.

[cursedwithagift]

Not really. Sort of the opposite, actually.

[thehonking]

What'd I up and tell you about my opinion?

[cursedwithagift]

That it doesn't matter because you're wrong.

[thehonking]

[More laughing on Gamzee's end.]

You're a motherfuckin' act.

[cursedwithagift]

No, I'm serious. [derp derp right over his head again]

[thehonking]

I know. That's what makes it so motherfuckin' great.

[cursedwithagift]

There's nothing great about this situation at all.

[thehonking]

Nah, I'm lovin' this shit.

[cursedwithagift]

You're the only one.

[thehonking]

I'm all fuckin' good with that.

[cursedwithagift]

That's good, because it's not changing.

[thehonking]

[He just chuckles some more.]
