Man, this was the wickedest shit. Gamzee was all up and watching these parts being made and put together. Motherfucking mind-bending. Pointy-Shades kicked him out awhile ago though, so he had to watch Square Shades build his ship. Or their ship. Cool either way. He didn't really have a job, so he just followed people around, asking them some questions. Pointy Shades got all up and annoyed with him for some reason though. They both kinda looked the same. Like a lava lamp on it's side. Square Shades came by, holdin' some heavy looking pipes on his shoulder. Gamzee followed causally, asking his questions along the way.

"Yo, so, Z-bro, I gotta know why both your ships are a circle. I thought they was all like a triangle."

Square Shades sighed. "It's the best design to mimic gravity. Makara, I've explained this several times in many briefings."

"Whoa man, you're gonna make gravity? That's some motherfuckin' tight shit there!" Gamzee replied, genuinely interested.

Putting the pipes down in his work-space, Square Shades turned to him. "No, we're mimicking it. We're going to spin the ships, causing a centripetal force that will allow us to walk normally. And while you lack any type of profession, a man of your status and class should refrain from such lewd language."

Square Shades put some special goggles on to start welding the pipes into some chill stuff. "Whoa, that's still pretty tight. And bro, we all got our flow. Mine just goes any motherfucking way it does. I don't wanna step on your grill though, so I'll try to chill." He paused, looking around. "How big is this mother-honking place?"

Shades didn't look up from his welding. "Quite. Level 3 consists of the offices and the warehouse. And replacing the word with another word does not stop the word from being thought of."

"So you're gonna build the whole thing here?" He went on, forgetting Shades' question.

Shades sighed again. Weird how people always seemed to sigh around him. "No, Makara. We build it in parts to be assembled above at a later date."

"Whys that?"

"Because it's the most efficient way."

"So why are you and Pointy Shades building different ships?"

He stopped his welding and looked up at Gamzee. "I truly don't mean to be rude, but don't you have something else to be doing?"

Gamzee shook his head. "Nah bro, but thanks for asking. I'm just all up and curious about this whole thing."

Shaking his head slightly, Shades went back to work. "Strider and I disagree on the limits. My design has efficiency in mind, while he has only comforts. When we go into space, our ship will use far less energy than theirs."

"That's cool yo. If I get whatcha saying, it sounds like you should be building both ships yo."

A small smile popped up on Shades face. Man that was rare. "Thank you, Makara. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

Whoa, he was actually asking if he wanted to know stuff. That was chill of him. Gamzee smiled at Shades. "Bro, I got so many questions. I'm sure you know all this though."

"I'm inclined to agree." Shades responded, nodding slightly.

So Gamzee went on asking his questions. Shades was cool. Answered every one of them. Real chill. Only got annoyed a few times. Even said he'd teach Gamzee how to talk good. Heh, he was funny. Pretty sure him and Shades were gonna have be buddies in no time. Tell some wicked jokes, have some laughs. He knew this one joke that motherfuckin' killed everyone at a comedy club he went to once. Everyone laughed their head off. Well, if he could remember it. Always forgot the punchline. All well. Anyway, they were gonna flow together pretty motherfucking tight.

(AN: Just to mention it, yes, Gamzee's chapters will always be really short. I narrate as the characters would (or try to at least) and while I don't really describe much going on, my take on Gamzee is that he's not very perspective, so the narration tends to lack a lot of what's going on around him. Just wanted to make sure I threw that out there).
