Your name is Gamzee Makara. At least you think so. Right now you are sitting in a bar and you have no intention of leaving anytime soon, but that's mostly because you have had too much to drink and can't seem to find your car. You have been here for the better part of the night chatting it up with some of the normal patrons, but now it's getting pretty slow and the only person to talk to is this new bartender. She is really interesting to talk to, but her high pitched voice and valley girl accent really puts a damper on any desire to talk to her for more then a minute or two. She looks to be your age, but beer goggles will tend to do that to anyone. As the night goes on she begins to linger near your part of the bar. You check your phone for the time, but its dead you assume it can't be too late. Even though there is no reference of time here there is no clock on the walls and the windows have all been blacked out. The bartender walks over to you again looking a little concerned.
"Okay friend, I need to cut you off for tonight. That was the fifth time in the last hour you have checked your phone only to realize it is dead. Do you need to call someone?" she squeaks trying to be soft with her voice. She can tell that her voice hurts your ears because every time she has spoken you wince and shut your eyes tightly.
"I need to find my car and..." You trail off as you put your head down on top of your hands on the counter. Your eyes close despite your fighting it.
"Hey! Come on you can't sleep here." She raises her voice with a concerned tone then continues on a more relaxed tone "Look, my shift ends in an hour. Have some coffee or tea, but stay awake and I will take you home. Just talk to me and stay awake. Can you tell me where you live?" she is looking you in the eyes as you slowly lift your head up and prop your hands underneath your head to keep it that way.
You giggle slightly as you look at her. "I live with my motherfucken bro. We're supposed to watch a movie later tonight, and I can't find my car." Your voice varies in pitch and most of your words are slurred but she looks at you like she understands. You start laughing like you just said the funniest thing on earth though. She looks around the bar and at this point there is only one other person there besides each other. She begins to talk calmly and almost soothingly even. "Look I will be right back. Just stay here I am going to close the bar early and then I will figure out what to do with you." You just keep laughing as she walks away.
The next thing you know she is shaking you almost out of your bar stool. Looking alarmed you look up at her and try to stand right away "What's wrong? Where is the monkey? Do we need the mop yet?" You say with a sense of urgency as you look around the room almost falling over more then once. "What are you talking about?" she asks trying to keep herself from giggling and slowly transitions into a more serious tone before beginning to talk again "I need to know where you live or where I can take you. Is there someone I can call? Your brother perhaps?" You look her dead in the eye and with all seriousness you say "Yes." Then everything went black.
You wake up some time later with a horrible headache. Sunlight pours through the window and it hurts your head even with your eyes closed. You pull a thick blanket up and over your head to hide from the sunlight. It dims the light on your face quite a bit enough for you to open your eyes at least. Slowly you open your eyes only to see the sunlight shining through a pink blanket with cartoon looking squids on them. You know you are hung over but there is no way you came home last night with a pink squid blanket. Out of curiosity you slowly peak outside of your blanket shell and fight the sunlight to see. As your eyes readjust you realize you are not in your room. The window is wide open and you can see the ocean from where you're laying. Concern sets in but you still feel a little buzzed so you are not too worried.
You sit up using one hand to prop yourself up and use the other hand to rub your temple. Outside of the room you can hear dishes clinking and what sounds like water running and possibly humming. You stand up slowly and the room begins to spin and tilt slightly. Somehow you manage to run to the open window and puke on whatever is below. You don't really care what's down there but you slip back in the window and lean against the wall trying to relax yourself. The humming grows louder, but then very abruptly it stops and the door opens slightly. You hear a girl shriek in terror. That shriek really made your head hurt so much more then it needed to. But then a young woman burst into the room looking around frantically till her eyes land upon you. She places a hand over her heart and calms down with a smile and then says jokingly in a high pitched voice "I thought I lost you." She laughs and sits down beside you.
Meanwhile! You are now Karkat Vantis and you had just discovered that your friend has been asleep in your room till you woke her up just now banging and yelling on the door looking for Gamzee.
"Why the HELL, where you asleep in MY fucking bedroom?" You ask in a pretty angry tone, but in all honesty you are more shocked then anything. You would have placed bets on the person in the room being Gamzee, but this, this is really surprising and now your head is really starting to hurt.
"Um why else? You were sleeping on the couch like a sad girl without friends, and Gamzee's room is a sty. Calling it a pig sty at this point would be insulting to pigs." Terezi replies with a matter of fact tone in her voice that almost makes it sound like that logic was supposed to be entirely understood without being spoken.
"How can you even tell it's a sty?" You begin to shout with how frustrated you are becoming over this whole situation. "You are blind! Fucking BLIND! Saying that you are as blind as a bat would be an insult to the fucking bat!" You shout louder to make that insult hurt, but in reality it was just pretty stupid.
"First off you can smell his room. Even from right here you know you can smell it, the weed, the dirty clothes, the rotten food, the alcohol all of it from right here. Secondly I am pretty sure that all blind creatures are blind just the same. It just depends on how vivid your imagination is to use your senses to picture the world around you." She giggles and then smiles with an almost evil grin that stretches the length of her face. She licks your cheek and walks past you finding her way down stairs.
"Hey! I'm not done with you! You didn't even answer my question!" You shout as you follow her downstairs and into the kitchen. She sits down at the small kitchen table you have and replies simply "Can I have some coffee Karkles?" you let out a sigh and pour her a cup of coffee just the way she likes it, lots of sugar and no cream. You set it down in front of her as she giggles and then you sit across the table from her. "Now tell me what you are doing here." You demand to know. It is bugging you beyond belief at this point and you're ready to believe anything that comes out of her mouth just to get this curiosity out of your head so you can go on with your day.
"Weeellllll." she draws it out almost as if she is just trying to make this story antagonizing already. "I was at Dave's house an-" you interrupt her before she can continue "Why the FUCK where you there!"
"Shut up and I'll tell you. Gosh someone is impatient this morning" you sit there and drink some of your coffee which is now hardly even warm but you sit in frustrating agonizing silence till she continues. "You see I was at Dave's house because I got bored and pestered him till he said we could hang out. We stayed up for most of the night drawing. He let me review some of his badass raps. Then when Dirk came home unexpectedly in a worse mood then normal he said I had to leave. So I came here hoping to find something to do with you and Gamzee, but he was here you were asleep and I didn't want to walk all the way home. See? Not that interesting." Despite what you thought earlier you know there's no way that could be true. You know she likes Dave and since his brother was there the whole time you're just meant to believe that's all they did? On top of that the couch is in the same room as the front door so she would have woken you up if she came in that way besides she doesn't have a key and it was locked. Wasn't it?
"That has got to be the biggest load of shit I have heard! The biggest bull in the world couldn't take a shit that fucking big. How did you get through the front door then it was locked and I was sleeping less then ten feet from it! Secondly you hate spending time with Gamzee! Now tell me what really happened!" You shout as you stand up leaving your coffee on the table and lean against the counter waiting for her explanation.
"I never said I came in the front door. I used the open window in the hallway." She said followed by an absurdly loud laugh. Almost like she was forcing it? You don't really know, but you do begin to pick up on subtle signs that are odd to you.
"The FUCK! Why can't you knock like every other fucking person who ever visits this fucking place?" You shout louder as you try to suppress the thought of her and Dave alone together. If that thought was a brick you would win a world record for chucking a brick the furthest distance.
"Because that's boring?" she giggles and drinks the remainder of her coffee and sets the cup aside. You run both hands through your hair and feel the need to ask what happened at his house again. You hate Dave but you hate the idea of them being together even more. You have no idea what He thinks of her but you can only hope it really is just as friends.
"Alright Karkles I am going to go home after I get dressed. I have my first day of work later on you should get some of the group to come hang out for a while." She walks upstairs to get dressed you think about following her and watching her change, but you know she would probably catch you. Luckily she mentioned her new job. She just got hired on at the Juice Hut in the mall, and you have your theories about why she applied there of all places. You think it's most likely that she started working there because its Dave's favorite place to go whenever he has a chance.
You wait for Terezi to come back down after getting dressed, however after fifteen minutes or so you decide to go up and check on her. When you make it up the stairs to your room you find that the door is wide open and Terezi is no where to be found. You sigh it's not everyday you get to hang out with her and you may have just scared her away by freaking out. You didn't even get a hug goodbye, but at least you got a thank you for the coffee.
