imagine a clown in a speedo

Who: gamzee makara (

codpieces ) and mimi tachikawa (

sincereheart )!
Where: cherrygrove city!
When: backdated sometime in july? possibly the 22nd.
Summary: a day or so after this conversation; gamzee agrees to meet up with mimi in cherrygrove city to enjoy the shoreline and cherrygrove's pampering attractions! also buying super cute swimsuits.
Rating: just a warning for gamzee's mega sailor mouth, but other than that it's pretty pg.
Log:

[ the beach was beautiful. the tiny beginning of a sunset was beautiful ( everything, right now, is really beautiful ). gamzee's sitting in the sand, letting the ocean wind brush all over his painted face, the all too familiar smell of the sea, mind nearly empty with dulled thoughts; it was a state of mind in which he was almost thinking about nothing, absolutely nothing. every now and then he would think it's gonna be so motherfuckin' beautiful, while other times ( most times ) he would space out, float away in thought as glazed eyes daze into the wonderful hues of blue to orange in the sky, clouds going from white to purple. it was like a painting! a miraculous painting that swishes all over the place above him like a capricious swill of dance moves. the only pokemon he has out right now is his mime jr, miracle, who perches on top of his messy black hair, while an egg settles against the side of one of his legs.

he was nocturnal— but on one hand, gamzee's sleep pattern was so sporadic one would be worried with how much he actually sleeps in a day. the sun made his eyes squint a bit, as it's doing so now, not very used to such brightness save for a glimmering computer screen in the middle of the night, but it wasn't too bad. it was doable; he'd probably be able to go through the entire day with a nap and no more. plus, he's heard the sun doesn't make you go blind as fast as alternia's sun, so that was a positive.

so now— he waits. now that he thinks about it, he's actually forgotten what he's waiting for . . .

but that's okay. it'll come back to him eventual—

just look at those tiny little waves. they're like . . . wriggler sized . . . ]

[ It's been a long day. A long, hard day full of more walking than Mimi would prefer to do in one day, given the choice. But she promised Gamzee-san she'd meet up with him, and she'd hate to have to make him wait another day. Not... that she thinks he'd actually mind, or notice, but that's beside the point. ]

[ The sun's already starting to go down by the time she encounters the sign proclaiming that she's made it to "Cherrygrove City: The City of Fragrant Flowers". Said flowers do smell nice, but Mimi has no time to stop and smell the roses (as it were). Because down at the end of the town she can see a stretch of sand, and as she gets closer the sound of waves rings in her ears. She takes a second to breathe in the salt air. It's not the same as Odaiba's beach, but still - oh, she missed this. ]

[ And there, off to the side, is a figure, sitting idly and staring at the sky. Mimi hesitates for a moment as she nears, unsure whether to call out, but then she notices the figure's mop of curly black hair, and who else could it be? ]

Gamzee-saaaaan~!

[ and look at that chirpbeast ( wingull ) in the sky. just look at it. look at that boulder in the distance— haha, like, how the fuck did it get there? and that music playing smoothly in the background . . . sometimes, if he's heard it long enough before spacing out, he ends up humming the chipper tune half way.

he could literally just sit here and stare at everything all day. that is, if he were left there. he had company, after all! gamzee wouldn't notice her in the first place, though miracle does almost immediately, perking up with curiosity and bouncing off his trainers head. when mimi calls, miracle ( whose face is also painted, courtesy of gamzee ) waves, giving a cheerful miiiiime! in return.

gamzee has a semi-delayed reaction, snapping back to earth in the middle of "saaaaan~!", then afterwards following the calling voice— a familiar voice . . .

and suddenly, he remembers. ]

Hahah, yoooo— [ he gives the girl a friendly, sloppy smile, all while lifting himself, almost swaying as he straightens on his legs to say hello. miracle starts mimicking every little movement he makes, now, from goofy smile to the spacy wave. it's almost funny, though— gamzee is awkwardly tall! and having a little him by his side . . . ]

My pinksis! What's good in this chill hood?

[ It is him! And ohhh wow he's tall. Somehow that didn't quite come across over the Gear. Mimi's eyes travel up Gamzee's frame as he unfolds himself. She knew foreigners were tall, and he is older, but still... something tells her making conversation with him will involve a bit of neck strain. ]

[ As always, it takes her a second to parse what he's saying. She thinks that means "how are you", so... ]

I'm doing fine! How are you, Gamzee-san? I hope I didn't keep you waiting long!

[ She has to smile at the sight of mini-Gamzee copying his every move. ] I take it this is your Pokémon? He's precious! [ She squats down and smiles at Miracle. SMALL PINK THING LET MIMI LOVE YOU ]

Doin' as frosty as a motherfucker can get at.

[ aka i am doing great and as chill as ever. at the "waiting long", he clicks his tongue against the roof of his mouth, half-lidded eyes as relaxed as ever, and shaking his head. ]

Didn't even see the time go by, sis— [ seriously she came fast in his eyes . . . ] Just enjoying all the sunset skymagic with Miracle.

[ heheh— with a cheerful grin, miracle seems to have taken a liking to her right off the bat! he pauses for a moment then, watching mimi with observing eyes— before he seems to squat down as well, smiling up at her!

you may now love me as long as i may mimic thee ]

Hahah— You stole her stuff, bro? [ he says it playfully, referring to copying mimi instead of actually . . . stealing anything, and sooner or later gamzee gestures to him. ]

Little dude's a pro at the miming act.

It really is a beautiful sunset, isn't it? [ Mimi gazes out at the sun making its way slowly toward the sea. ] Oh - but we'd better hurry or we won't have enough light to swim by! Do you know if there's a swimsuit shop around here?

[ Oh, isn't Miracle just adorable! Mimi reaches out a hand for him to shake - gently, because he's got those tiny hands. ] Is he going to start copying me now, instead of you? [ She giggles a bit at the thought. ]

Edited 2014-08-19 15:52 (UTC)

[ swimsuit shops? swimsuit shops . . .

miracle is the first one to suggest the pokemart with pointing in it's direction, while gamzee . . . well, gamzee takes a moment to process that. and admire miracle. just look how cute he is.

uhhhhhhh

oh

so ok shops ring a tiny bell. ( finally ), but at least it does in the first place! ]

Think there's some kinda place to buy shit over there.

[ and handshakes! miracle does just the same, even adding a giggle at the same time mimi does to add to his act— if it made people smile, he'd waste no time in doing it! gamzee gives a light shrug, though, smiling down at the pokemon. ]

He gonna copy who his little mimin' pump biscuit tells at him to mime— Right bro? [ 'mime!' ] He looks real fuckin' happy doin' it— Makes me a happier motherfucker, too.

Well, he's certainly making me happy! [ Mimi laughs. ] If either of my Pokémon decided to mimic me, I'm not sure I'd be able to handle the cuteness!

[ Wait, she... should probably introduce her Pokémon, shouldn't she. Manners, Mimi! She reaches for the two Pokéballs at her belt, and in a flash of light her Pokémon are standing and bobbing, respectively, next to her. ]

These are Maractus and Hoppip! They don't have names yet. [ Maractus gives a quick bow, while Hoppip trills and flies in a circle. ] They're very pleased to meet you!

[ Right, about the swimsuits. Now that Mimi thinks of it, she remembers passing something that looked like a store, and it might very well have carried swimsuits. She didn't have time to stop and look because Gamzee was waiting, but now that they've got that sorted out - SHOPPING! ]

Thank you, Miracle! And you too, of course, Gamzee-san. [ She smiles brightly at both of them before straightening up and pointing dramatically in the direction Miracle had indicated. In the sort of voice normally reserved for dramatic pep talks and secret missions, she proclaims: ] Let's go shopping!

[ ahh— more pokebros! with this, he crouches down to get a better look of them, before giving a toothy, lop-sided smile. miracle also seems incredibly curious to meet them, giving each one a cheerful hello.

"Hello! I hope we can be friends!" ]

'Sup Motherfuckers?

[ hehe— as he starts to gesture his hello, mimi's hoppip seems to grab his attention. the way it just kind of floats . . . it's where he pretty much forgets to introduce his other two pokemon. he also forgets that he has an egg in his backpack that's now just kind of sitting in the sand unwatched, miracle being the one to briefly leave mimi ( after a "you're welcome!" ) to tend to things that— well, gamzee doesn't. not on purpose mind you, but because he's really just too out of it to care as much as a sound person would.

he's lucky to have had someone to keep an eye on him up until now, though. just as they seem to be leaving, miracle carefully hands gamzee his bag, too small to carry it and instead, having to drag it in the sand to his trainer! gamzee only notices when the little clown tugs at his polka-dot pants, sluggishly looking down and— oh wow right. ]

Shit— Thanks, little bro. [ he chuckles, as if no big deal. ] Almost forgot.

[ he should never be a father ever he might just forget and leave his kid at the supermarket or something.

but, now that they're going shopping . . . ! he follows the enthusiasm! ]

Honk yeah, pinksis.

[ literally. honk. ]

[ "Friends, friends!" Hoppip choruses, bobbing vigorously. Maractus is a bit more sedate, but no less happy to meet Miracle. "Thank you for taking care of our trainer!" ]

[ Mimi appraises Gamzee as they head towards the Pokémart, tutting in a motherly manner. ] You really have to pay attention to where you leave your things, you know! Miracle is a sweetheart, but you can't rely on him to take care of everything for you!

[ Did he just... actually honk... That's kind of weird, but Gamzee is a weird guy, after all. For him, Mimi supposes honking is positively normal. ]

[ he's getting . . . gently lectured-?

was this what having a present lusus felt like???

hence, his rather huge pause and delayed response as they walk. you have to add that processing time, let the synapses get a move on in his head. unfortunately for mimi, he's under the influence ( and perhaps it's better that way, for now ), where after thoughts connect and make sense, he gives her a nod, his lax expression remaining— albeit he's giving a wider smile, if noticed.

it actually— felt good. it was probably the only time he's had something even close to actual parenting, and from a girl younger than him, no less! ]

You got it, sis.

[ that's what friends are for!

are . . . are they friends . . .

in his head they are friends . . . ]

Friends be knowing what's best for their bros and their bitches, yeah? So, the fuck do I know?

[ Mimi's starting to get worried when Gamzee stops talking for a minute there, and is about to say something to that effect when he suddenly speaks. Phew. ]

Oh, I'm sure you know some things that are best for me too! [ d... does he... ANYWAY, friends! Mimi smiles upon hearing that. They totally are, or at least will be after shopping bonding time! ]

[ Speaking of. A blue building makes its way into view on the left, and Mimi begins steering toward it as they walk. This looks like the store she passed on her way to the beach, right? ]

[ mIMI NO what's best for him is caking her with clown make up and eating berries

no

he's about to say something, in fact— and there indeed is the pokemart! except, the more they approach, the more a pretty slush of light grabs gamzee's attention so quick, he just kind of . . .

hones into it. stopping right in front of the window instead of going through the door to the right, and just

staring

staring so hard his eyes might just kind of go sideways

fuck a holy clownish motherfucker what the fuck is this beautiful motherfucking thing ]

[ OH GOD it is a good thing he didn't say anything because Mimi would violently object to the idea of putting her in clown makeup. There's friendship, and then there's... well, that. ]

[ They're at the Mart and Mimi's got one foot through the door when she notices Gamzee isn't with her. He's a few steps back, bent over at the window, staring transfixed at something. ]

[ She steps back to see what he's looking at, and... huh. That's actually something pretty cool. Mimi has never actually seen a lava lamp before, and she leans in next to Gamzee, eyes just as wide. In a hushed voice, she inquires: ]

How does it do that?

Hoooooooooooooooooonk . . .

[ this is why they are now friends, mimi

this is why ]

A fuckin' men to the capricious minstrels . . . [ gamzee can't resist— he's pressing his face into the window to get an even better look, make up smudging all over the glass— but spoiler alert, he ain't even bothered.

his eyes feel like exploding. ]

Sister, I don't even got a trail— It's all the miracles the world be offering in a little motherfuckin' bottle of technicolored hoversneeze, alls up in this bitch ass motherfucker— [ oh my god there it goes ANOTHER BLOB IS FORMING OUT OF ANOTHER ONE ] Hoooly shit.

[ it's so beautiful oh my god

life is so beautiful right now ]

[ He's honking again. Mimi is still not sure if this is a good sign, but it doesn't seem to be doing him any harm, anyway. Honk on, friend. ]

[ Mimi can't really see it anymore because Gamzee's big ol' head is in front of it, but she has to agree. ] It's really neat, isn't it? All those bubbles! What are they even made of?

[ A thought occurs to Mimi. She doesn't know how much things cost here, but she knows she started with some money in her bag. Maybe if she and Gamzee pooled their funds... ] Do you want to see how much it is?

It's made of miracles . . .

[ look at it

i want all of you to look at it

but— even though mimi might have to wait a moment or two for him to respond, when he does—

he's trying to look at both of them and it's not going too well gamzee stop you're going to get lazy eyes ]

—We gotta cash this pimpin' motherfucker! [ aka yES ]

You thought Pokéballs were made of miracles too! [ She says this teasingly, but fondly. Mimi is discovering what makes Gamzee tick, and that "what" is, apparently, anything to do with miracles. ]

We can buy it, but only if we still have enough money left over for swimsuits, okay? I'm getting you into that water if it kills me! [ The look on her face defies anyone to stop her. ]

Just a lil' piece of magic from the vast fuckin' miracle itself.

[ aka everything is miracles and nothing hurts ]

I got you, homie. [ it's probably going to be a hard time pulling his sight off the thing ( or not— there's always the "disappearing" trick ); even when he's promptly reaching into his pocket, his attention is half as his hand stuffs and pulls out all the money he has, roughly around 3000p, and holding it out to mimi.

it was shopping time ]

Think we good.

Edited 2014-08-27 04:11 (UTC)

[ What a coincidence! 3000p is how much Mimi has, too. Hopefully 6000 will be enough for a weird lamp and some swimsuits? She wonders what the conversion rate is between these and yen. ]

[ Pooled money in hand, Mimi once again heads for the door. ] Are you coming, Gamzee-san? You'll be able to see it better once you're inside, you know!

[ it's so beautiful

it's so beautiful

it's so motherfuckin beautiful— ]

—Huh-?

[ what were they— oh, right. ]

Count me the fuck in, pinksis.

[ he finally enters! and it doesn't take more than a few moments to go straight to the window

pick up the lamp

just kind of stare at it again jesus fuck just look at those colors

before he tries walking to where mimi should be, although he's pulling along a lamp that's still plugged. there comes the moment when the wire's limit is reached, toggles a bit too much, and shuts off the pretty lights as well as the goo bubbles. ]

Wha— The motherfuck . . .

[ he stops, thinks ( lol ) for a moment more, and . . . ]

. . . Aw.

[ my love no come back ]

[ Mimi has actually made it to the swimsuit aisle when - did she lose Gamzee again? When she looks behind her and sees him staring heartbrokenly at the unplugged lamp, though, she has to stifle a fond laugh. Oh, Gamzee-san. ]

Um... Gamzee-san? Why don't you hold on to that? We can plug it in when we get to wherever we're going to stay for the night! [ Where are they going to stay? There was an inn somewhere nearby, right? Oh well. SHOPPING FIRST ]

[ whatever that means

it sounds like a remedy ]

Holdin' onto this bitch with my motherfuckin' life, Meems.

[ he's just gonna carry it around, then! and catching up with mimi to the swimsuit aisle. what are these . . .

what is this . . .

ps this one is perf mimi look ]

Edited 2014-09-01 02:36 (UTC)

[ Mimi twirls around as Gamzee approaches, holding up a pink bikini to herself. Draped over one arm are several other swimsuits of varying pinkness. ] What do you think, Gamzee-san? Isn't this one just darling? [ Then, upon noticing him contemplating said trunks: ] Oh, and those would look wonderful on you! Good eye, Gamzee-san!

[ After a second of contemplation, she takes off her bag and shoves it into his arms (gently, so as not to endanger the lava lamp). ] Would you mind holding this while I go try these on? [ She dares you to say no to this smile. ]

[ he tilts his head a bit at the bikini— well it sure is polka dotted enough for his flighty attention! they almost match! ]

Mmmmmhm.

[ he takes the bag without hesitation, giving a nod, holding it lazily in one arm while the other holds the lamp. what a gentleman, holding the lady's things uwu

pause . . . so

he has to try his on too?

okay.

so while mimi goes to try her things, gamzee does as well! placing the lamp and bag briefly on the ground, he slips his swim shorts on! over his actual pants.

is this how you swimsuit ( so yes mimi will come back to that fashion disaster ) ]

[ A few minutes pass and Mimi emerges, wearing the first swimsuit she'd shown Gamzee. She looks beautiful. ] Gamzee-san, what do you th-

[ ... ]

[ ...She doesn't know what she was expecting. ]

Okay, they look very nice on you, Gamzee-san, but you're supposed to take off your pants first - DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS HERE! [ Just in case he had any plans to do so. ]
