[The following message is sent to the Pokegears of John, Eridan, Vriska, Aradia and Gamzee.]

Good day. For those who don't know, I am Rose Lalonde. I am going to attempt in organizing our travel party so we may move on to Violet.
If you are questioning my hand in authority of this matter, you are free to contact John for confirmation.

First, I would suggest everyone prepare for the trip if you have not already. Be sure you have food for the journey ahead, as it will take us at least a week to arrive, perhaps longer depending on how smoothly this goes. Do make sure you have warm clothing for the travel as well. Luckily, Othur has a fire Pokemon to help provide heat. If anyone else also owns a fire Pokemon, do let me know so I may plan accordingly.

We will be meeting in the lobby of the local hotel for preliminary instructions, group preparations and a head count to ensure no one is left behind. In light of how easy it apparently is to get lost within the forest outside of town, I have gone to the locals and one kind man gave me a map for the area, which I have copied and will give to each of you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[[Rose is sitting in the Lobby with Wooper in lap and Hoothoot in hair, accompanied by the aforementioned Othur who was currently trying to entertain his Togepi, a Quilava leaning against his leg. The rest of his Pokemon were in their Pokeballs and would likely stay there for the duration of the trip. She had already let him know what was going on and how the entire ordeal would be going down, and all that was left was to wait for the others so they would all be up to speed and ready.]]

[[Within a few minutes, she appears at the store entrance, looking around for whomever was needing her help. She knew who it was thanks to the Pokegear, just not what they looked like.]]

Gamzee?

[Gamzee was patiently waiting. If patiently waiting meant dozing off and forgetting what was even going on, then yeah accurate description, no fake.]

[Once he heard an unfamiliar voice say his name, whatever lack-of-sopor-induced-temporary-coma the former troll had been in was interrupted and he snapped back to reality. ~~Is this real life?~~]

Hey there my brodette, you motherfuckin lookin for me?

I am indeed. Let's go see what we can find, alright? They may not be the same, but surely we can find something else you like.

[[And so she will enter the shop, expecting Gamzee to follow, and start perusing the soda.]]

Did you have a preferred flavor?

[Gamzee wasn't gettin his sure on about finding a faygo replacement* but if Rose thought this was the motherfuckin thing to do than maybe he'd kick with it. For now at least.]

Well I do get my motherfuckin' eager on for some cherry and grape! Do you think these brothers have those flavors all up in here?

[He's definitely following her, looking through the selection he had only skimmed before* not giving it much thought since there wasn't the usual whimiscal looking FAYGO logo plastered on their side.]

I'm sure there are plenty brands of soda with cherry and grape.

[[She continued browsing as well, until she came across a soda with a similar name and look to Faygo - Fanta - pulling out a bottle to show Gamzee.]]

Here, how does this look? They have both cherry and grape as well.

[Gamzee stares at the bottle. Almost begrudgingly. It just felt wrong. Like he was betraying his lover, like he was just jabbing a cold heartless dagger into the back of his one true love. He just. But he couldn't really last much longer without it. He had to find a substitute, it was just unbearable!]

[He smiled, almost guiltily.]

Yeah I guess I can motherfuckin try that shit... [There isn't as much whimsy to his voice as normal, how could there be? Please excuse the reference, but if he were James Sunderland, Faygo would be his Mary, Fanta his Maria. It just. Felt wrong. :o(]

[[Raising a brow, she grabbed a bottle of both cherry and grape.]]

Here, I'll even pay for it, so you won't have wasted your money if you don't like it in the end.

[[She wanted to say something more, pertaining to how he was acting about the whole thing, but from what she's heard it may not be worth it. Still, as she was paying for the soft drinks, she gave Gamzee a glance.]]

Have you ever considered dropping faygo? Drinking something healthy like water instead?

[Gamzee was thankful for the really kind gesture in which Rose was doing, but sadly he'd probably forget about it eventually.]

Whoa, thanks there my friend! You don't have to get your motherfuckin favor on like that but I appreciate it motherfucker!

[He ~~dozes~~ patiently waits till she is done with the purchase, or was until she asked what was simply impossible. Stop. Drinking Faygo? Was she crazy? She must have been crazy! She must not have ever had such a wondrous thing as an ice cold Faygo to slam! Man... So deprived!]

Man... I don't think I could ever get my not-faygo on. That seems like so much of an impossibility, like tryin to continue on without breathin'. At least that's how it has all been up and feelin like so far. Faygo is such a beautiful thing and every motherfucker should be all up in Faygo at least once in their life time, cuz you motherfuckers are all up in gettin your loss on!

It may feel like that, but it obviously isn't a healthy obsession.

[[Still, she handed the bottles to the other anyway, and lead the way out of the store.]]

I am unsure of how troll biology works, so perhaps you were able to drink nothing but that soda, but you're human now. It's not healthy.

I'm pretty motherfuckin sure it wasn't all up in the healthiest of habits as a troll, or at least that's what Mr. Fixit said. [Translation: Equius]

But it's where my heart is all up in feelin and I gotta listen to my motherfuckin heart, or what else could I be gettin my listen on to?

[Rose you cannot convince him of this. He may lessen it a bit, but he will always crave the sweet bubbliness that is soda.]

[But as they walk, he stares at the bottle with a curious perturbed look before crackin open the lid and getting almost teary eyed at that symphonic sound of the soda fizzing. That therapeutic audio fillin his ears and his soul with such harmony, it was like a miracle just happened.]

[And it did. Motherfucker it did. That fizzing? Such a miracle. Who fuckin knew that miracle alone was not faygo's but this mysterious fanta's as well? If they shared such similarities... Maybe just maybe this could be a proper substitute!]

[And so here goes. The moment of truth, lips to the opening, head tilt and...]

Edited 2011-02-06 22:58 (UTC)

[Okay that was being a bit over dramatic, cut it out ~~Eridan~~ Gamzee! It isn't that bad, it's crisp and even sugary much like your long lost love, but this fizz fanta drink isn't anything in comparison. But it'll do for now.]

Well this bitchtit ain't half bad, no motherfuckin faygo, but I guess it can get it's do on for now. Until I find my wicked elixir. Thanks a ton brosis, I don't think I woulda got my reconsider on without your help! You're really there for a motherfucker in need!

Honk!

It was no problem.

Are you ready now? You've got food packed, warm clothes, everything like that? It will be at least a week before we reach another city, meaning no store to purchase supplies from along the way.

I motherfuckin do! I went and got my supply on like a brother should be. Karkat told me to go and get all up in ready and I was sure as a bitchtit to do that. So I am ready as motherfuckin ever to go and get going!

Good. As far as I'm aware, we're all ready then.

Gamzee, you are going to be Aradia's travel partner, okay? She's going to keep an eye on you and make sure you stay with the group, and you should do the same for her.

I am totally all up in gettin my motherfuckin okay on with bein Aradia's travelin buddy!

Good. This trip will go very smoothly. Let's join the rest of the group so we can depart soon.
