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 . . . ]

[ . . . bridges . . . ]

Nah— Why'd I live there?

[ silly mimi, there's no wifi under bridges. ]

We got hives, sis.

[sincereheart]

Well, it's just... there's this fairy tale about these goats and a troll, and the troll in the story lives under a bridge! [ A sudden thought. ] ...Do trolls have fairy tales about humans?

Hives? You mean like... beehives? Well, I guess that's not any weirder than living under a bridge! [ It's still kind of weird though. ]

[codpieces]

Never heard about y'all before seeing it with my own lookstubs.

[ they're buy seems to be ready! from here they can go out to the shore and change in the public bathroom, or something—

gamzee thinks as they leave the store, when it's his turn to get hit with a mind blowing thought ]

They got a story about my old goat?

[sincereheart]

Well, I don't think it's about your goat, necessarily! There are these three goats, see, and...

[ Mimi launches into the tale as they walk back towards the beach. ]

Okay, so. Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats Gruff: a little one, a medium one, and a big one. And they had to cross a bridge to find some grass to eat. But there was a troll living under this bridge! So the little goat was the first one to cross the bridge: trip-trap, trip-trap, trip-trap. [ Mimi mimes walking with her fingers. ] And the troll came up from under it and said:

[ In her best deep troll voice: ] "Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?"

[ Squeaky voice: ] "I'm the little Billy Goat Gruff."

"I'm going to eat you!"

"Oh, no, wait till my brother comes! He's much fatter than I am!"

And the troll let him go. Then along came the medium Billy Goat Gruff: trip-trap, trip-trap, trip-trap.

"Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?"

[ Slightly deeper voice: ] "I'm the medium Billy Goat Gruff."

"Aha! Now I'm going to eat you!"

"Oh, no, wait till my brother comes! He's much, much fatter than I am!"

And the troll let him go. Finally, the big Billy Goat Gruff came along: trip-trap, trip-trap, trip-trap.

"Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?"

[ In her best deep goat voice: ] "It's me, the biggest Billy Goat Gruff!"

"Aha! Now I'm finally going to eat you!"

"Just try it!" said the big Billy Goat Gruff, and as the troll came to eat him, he lowered his head and knocked him into the river! Then all three Billy Goats Gruff ate a bunch of grass on the other side of the river, and they all lived happily ever after. The end!

[ Mimi lowers her hands, with which she had been acting out key parts of the tale, and peers anxiously at Gamzee, waiting for his reaction. Was that story racist towards trolls? She hopes not! ]

[codpieces]

[ oh boy stories about goats and trolls this should be great! he's listening! ]

[codpieces]

[ he's . . . gonna eat the goat ]

[codpieces]

[ every time a new goat comes along it's like nO DON'T EAT THEM MAN

THIS IS AN INTENSE STORY MIMI ]

[codpieces]

[ phew. he didn't eat any goats. he looks relieved to hear that the goats are okay, as if she were telling him a true story.

finally: ]

Damn . . .

[ mIMI ]

I'd never eat them goats, man . . .

[ :o( ]

[sincereheart]

[ Mimi is at first gratified by Gamzee's enthusiastic responses, but - oh god did she upset him, oh no! ]

It's okay! I know you wouldn't, Gamzee-san! It's just a story! [ She hastens to reassure him. ] Whoever made it up probably had never even met a real troll!

[codpieces]

—Oh.

[ it's rather easy to reassure him— gamzee slinks back to a carefree air with little effort! ]

Heh— Y'got that right, Meems. Goats ain't for eatin'— That's what pie's for, right?

[sincereheart]

[ Phew! Mimi is super glad Gamzee's not mad at her. It would be awful to get on the wrong side of a new friend! ]

It sure is! And natto, and... ooh, maybe pie with natto! [ New weird food combinations yess. This girl is her mother's daughter. ]

[ Wait, hmm. Why did he mention pie specifically? ] Do trolls eat a lot of pie? Or is that just your favorite food, Gamzee-san?

[codpieces]

What's natto?

[ is natto an instrument ]

I fuckin' love pie, Meems. Don't see my other troll brothers and bitches slurpin' it up, but hell— Can't be no one who don't like pie.

[ this is a true fact. a fact that is true.

who the fuck doesn't like pie ]

[sincereheart]

You've never had natto? [ Well, she knows most Westerners haven't, but... ] Oh, it's delicious! It's made of fermented soybeans, and it smells wonderful! I like to put it on eggs, with a little sugar! [ Note: to anyone who isn't Mimi, this would be disgusting. ]

Oh, I agree! I love pie! What's your favorite flavor? I'm a fan of cherry pie, myself!

[codpieces]

[ IT'S GOOD THAT HE'S JUST LISTENING and ain't even bothered because if it were anyone else yes mimi

but you're talking to someone who eats goo so ]

Cherries are pretty fuckin' delish, yeah. [ he should make chesto berry pie one day . . . ]

—Sopor slime pie, sis. Best goop in a tin you'll ever up and see.

[sincereheart]

Sopor slime...?

[ Well, if trolls in stories can eat goats, she guesses it's not that weird for real trolls to eat slime pies. Maybe. ]

What does that taste like?

[codpieces]

Only your taster to soak it all up and get to motherfuckin' feel what it's up and like, my sister.

[ ahhh, man . . . sopor slime pies.

one cannot simply describe what it tastes like ]

The best sneeze you'll ever find— keeps a motherfucker as chill as a frosty bottle of some rudeass brew.

[sincereheart]

One of those things that you have to try for yourself, huh? I understand! I think natto is the same way for a lot of people! [ Plot twist: sopor slime tastes exactly like natto. ] If it's really that good, I'd love to see what it's like! You'll have to share some if we find any here!

[ They've reached the beach at this point. It's getting later, and the sun's a little further down, but it's not dark yet. Mimi starts steering them in the direction of the changing rooms. THEY ARE GOING TO HIT THIS BEACH IF IT KILLS HER ]

[codpieces]

Been keepin' my lookstubs peeled since the day I appearifed in New Bark, girl. We got a motherfuckin' deal!

[ THEN IT'S TIME TO CHANGE . . . oh boy . . .

gamzee comes out in the swim shorts, although he's still wearing his shirt. miracle helps with everything else— putting his shoes away so he doesn't forget, ect.

the sunset looks so beautiful— it has gamzee remember home, so while he's waiting for mimi, he sits in the sand, just staring out to sea

and spacing out ]

[sincereheart]

[ And here's Mimi, in her new swimsuit and everything! She's positively overflowing with happiness as she runs up to Gamzee. They're finally getting to swim! ]

Oh - Gamzee-san, you're supposed to take your shirt off! But I guess you can leave it on if you want, as long as you don't mind it getting a little wet!

[ A thought occurs to Mimi. ] ...Wait. Won't the water mess up your makeup? [ She respects other people's fashion choices, tacky though they may be, and she'd hate to see Gamzee's painstakingly done makeup get ruined. ]

( 1 / 2 )

[codpieces]

Oh— Aight. You motherfuckin' got it.

[ he's supposed to take it off? haha, okay. mimi know's a lot more than he does about this stuff, anyway, so he obliges quite quickly and flips off his shirt

. . . huh

looks like he's looking at his . . . man nipples . . .

what are these things . . . . ]

[codpieces]

The motherfuck . . .

[ AKA mimi sorry but he's . . . kind of . . .

busy

so it takes a while :( ]

—Huh?

[sincereheart]

[ Mimi's come to accept that spacing out for long periods of time is just par for the course with Gamzee. If that spacing out involves staring at his own nipples, well, so be it. ]

Your makeup! [ She waves a hand in the general direction of her own face. ] Do you mind it getting messed up? You do have a way to redo it, right?

[codpieces]

[ THEY ARE WEIRD OK

trolls aren't mammals . . . ]

Yeah, girl— Got my clown kit for whenever we need a touch up.

[sincereheart]

All right! In that case...!

[ With a whoop, Mimi takes off toward the water, her Maractus and Hoppip trailing behind. She calls over her shoulder: ]

Last one in's a rotten egg!

[ YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A ROTTEN EGG DO YOU GAMZEE ]

[codpieces]

[ haha a rotten egg ]
