Gamzee: Attack Dave

Dave lunges to the side in a very uncool fashion narrowly avoiding the heavy juggling pin smashing into the brick wall beside his head. Cracks splintering up the walls upon impact like glass. He flings himself back to his feet and starts running, re-adjusting his shades as he flies out of the alleyway using his natural strider speed to dodge through traffic as he darts across the street and into the next closest alley.

His attacker turns crazed solid purple eyes on the retreating human. He has curly hair sticking out everywhere in a completely untamed fashion and horns that go up in almost a wave effect. His face was painted similar to that of a clowns and he wore a bright purple shirt with a sort of clown face printed on it and purple spotted baggy pants. A feral smile splits his face showing a mouthful of dangerous teeth as he watches the blonde disappear in the dark alley. He tosses one juggling pin into the air catching it in the same hand that holds the other and crouches down. With inhuman force he shoots into the air grabbing hold of a fire escape with his empty hand. He pulls himself up and shoots himself up again to the next level up, then again five more times before settling gracefully on his feet on the edge of the roof.

A chuckle escapes the insane clown's lips as he watches Dave leave the alley across the street and head for the park he knew some of his kind often visits. He shoves himself forward landing with a loud crack in the street below, swinging his right hand casually sending pieces of passing by cars flying in the air with his heavy juggling pins. Confused motorists cry out in anger and frustration skidding to a stop, many of them getting out of their cars to curse at each other. The clown just grins and walks on unseen by the humans as he moves away from the street and through the alley following the doomed human boy.

Dave pulls himself up into a tree looking behind him to see if he'd been followed. This is the third time he's met with Gamzee. The first started out peaceful but once Dave explained about the car accident where he'd gotten his beloved shades the clown's pupils narrowed, his eyes bled into solid purple, and he just... snapped. Now every time Dave comes into contact with the god of music he ends up running for his life.

Dave knows better than to try and fight back. He tried the first time they met and if it weren't for Bro being nearby and snatching him away Dave knew he'd be dead. That was the time when Dave learned that the trolls had a price placed on his head; should any of them succeed in bringing his head in to their queen they would get one wish granted by her.

Gamzee's soft honks echo throughout the trees as he slowly walks through the park casually tossing one juggling pin in the air as he goes. Dave freezes, turning his head to watch the tall clown striding towards him. The murderous look on his face as he turns his gaze to stare right into Dave's eyes the only thing giving away his destination. Dave lunges out of the tree and into another. He dives from tree to tree knowing if he just reached the area where the other trolls were playing that he'd be safe. Gamzee always stopped following him every time there was a risk of the others seeing him.

Gamzee surges forward chasing after the frantic Strier, his long legs quickly allowing him to catch up with the boy. He jumps up onto a tree branch just as Dave lands on it and swings his left arm sending splinters of wood flying throughout the air. Dave leaps up from his crouch flinging himself to the next tree and then off onto the ground. Gamzee honks with laughter and hops out of the tree to resume his casual walk after the frazzled boy.

Dave weaves between trees stopping for a moment behind one of hte bigger ones to catch his breath. Even a Strider will run out of energy after a while. He pants quietly, trying to keep himself quiet as he listens to the footsteps drawing ever closer.

"You've put yourself in quite the situation as always, cool kid." A female voice thick with an unrecognizable accent sounds out from above him.

Dave freezes, then turns his head slowly to look up at the troll above him. One sparkling blue eye grins down at him from behind wire rimmed glasses, the other eye was covered by a black patch with an intricate design of a blue spider stitched into it. Her hair flows around her with a slight curl at the tips, and her horns mismatched, one splitting at the top like a claw and the other flicking back down similar to a crochet hook. Dave curses Rose for causing him to even know what a crochet hook looks like as he observed the troll. She's wearing a long coat that flutters in the wind, tied up on her left arm where she's missing an arm.

Painted blue lips turn into a smile as the looks over her shoulder at the maniac clown closing in on them. "The question is Mr. Strider, Do you have the luck to get out of it this time?" She casually reaches into her pocket pulling out a pair of blue dice. With a giddy giggle she tosses them down to land in front of the blonde.

"Hey Dave! I was having a picnic with Rose and Jade when we saw you run by so I thought I'd come over and invite you to join us!" They both jerk their eyes up from the dice to watch John grinning as he waves excitedly and jogs towards them. Dave's eyes widen and he jerks to look behind him at Gamzee, then back over to John.

A single blue eye widens as she stares at the boy clad in the light blue hoodie as a juggling pin whizzes past her head. Dave dashes forward tackling his best friend to the ground, the juggling pin skimming the top of his head and imbedding into the tree just behind him. Splinters and bark shower down on the two from the impact.

"Dave! What the hell? What's going on? Why are you tackling me like this? And what the fuck just happened to that tree!?" John's eyes go wide as he stares at the gaping hole in the tree above his head. A triumphant honk sounds out as Gamzee stops above them. He lifts his remaining pin up letting the momentum carry him as he swings at the back of Dave's head.

The female troll throws herself from the tree, iridescent blue butterfly wings ripping out of her back as she plunges down. She flies as fast as she can slamming into the blonde and wrapping her arm around the boy in blue. With a cracking voice she screams out "LUCK IS WITH YOU TONIGHT!"

A bright blue light flashes momentarily blinding the clown as he shouts out a surprised honk. Confusion and rage fills him when his vision returns to an empty spot where the two humans used to be.
