imagine a clown in a speedo

[codpieces]

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 . . . ]

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 ]

( 1 / 2 )

[codpieces]

[ haha a rotten egg ]

( 2 / 3 ) wait no

[codpieces]

[ —wait a minute ]

—Oh shit, yo!

[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A ROTTEN EGG

gamzee takes off after her ( it was thanks to miracle actually, that communicated that with him before he had time to space out ). the mime toddles along to the tide with gamzee running on after her.

he doesn't even see who got in first— most likely mimi, since she had a head start, but all you hear from gamzee is a splash—

. . . oh

he's in the water.

SHIN DEEP WATER but he's in]

[codpieces]

[ he forgets about being a rotten egg for a moment and steps away, back to the sand and away from the tiny little waves.

this is scary ]

[sincereheart]

[ Mimi laughs as the water laps at her waist. ] Gamzee-san, you're a rotten egg - Huh?

[ He's not following her. Where is he? Her Hoppip tugs on her arm. She turns to look, and there he is, watching the water worriedly from the shore.

Oh. Right. ] I'm so sorry, Gamzee-san! [ She starts wading back toward him. ] I forgot, you can't swim, can you? Do you want to just try wading for a bit?

[codpieces]

Uhhh . . .

[ he watches on for a few moments— miracle glances up worriedly, coming back to try and give him a confident push up. the water was excellent, there was nothing to worry about!

Gamzee blinks, cautiously steps into a gentle tide, and waits. nothing's.... Trying to attack him yet? He's contemplating going further, but just to be sure— ]

Is it chill?

[sincereheart]

It sure is! The water's really calm here, don't worry!

[ Having reached Gamzee, Mimi takes ahold of his arm - gently, of course. She doesn't want to startle the poor guy. ] Do you want me to wade out with you?

[codpieces]

[ miracle looks like he even knows how to float on his back!! he waves to gamzee, to further add to mimi's word, and as she takes his arm, gamzee slowly begins to waddle into the waters. woooow this was so weird. was this what the old goat felt like swimming around in waters like these??? ]

—We still chill, yeah?

[ ARE THEY STILL OKAY MIMI

THE WATER IS GOING TO HIS WAIST NOW ARE THEY OKAY ]

[sincereheart]

Yeah! Don't worry, Gamzee-san! I promise the water's not going to hurt you! Look, Miracle's floating in it!

[ Which is super gosh dang cute. By the way. Just pointing that out. ]

Do you want to try floating? The water's deep enough!

[codpieces]

[ o . . . k, so maybe he can try this. gamzee watches miracle curiously, before suddenly— letting himself fall back against the water, with a splash. that's not how you do it, but you know how first timers are.

it's startling, though! he was expecting to float! forgetting that his feet can touch the sand below, he starts flailing, creating more splashes of water all around them, and struggling to keep his head up

THIS IS HARD

HE GON DROWN ]

[sincereheart]

Gamzee-san! That's not how you - !

[ Oh god what if he drowns oh god Mimi is not prepared for this. She quickly tries to prop him up from the back (gently), while Hanemaru pulls on one arm with his stubby paws. ]

Maybe we should start with doggy-paddling instead...
