Dave, a young journalist with a knack for obsessing over things he should steer clear from. Karkat, a new neighbor and close friend who might risk more than he's willing to admit to get by. And then there's Gamzee. One of these things is not like the others. EXCERPT: It reeks of alcohol and disinfectant. Karkat holds his nose, he always does, no matter how many times he follows the steps. He holds his nose before he even starts, really, holds it as soon as Gamzee comes home after so long that it’s not alright. He’s never alright, but dwelling on such thoughts always leaves Karkat furious with himself. The sponge is soaking up enough blood and he stops his thoughts to wring it in the bucket. The disinfectant burns his nose and he feels like crying for entirely different reasons. Gamzee must have heard the sniffle because soon he’s kneeling next to the shorter male lifting up the bucket to empty it in the sink. Karkat doesn’t look up from scrubbing the wooden floor as Gamzee mutters a mantra of apologizes. He doesn’t say anything. It’s routine and he doesn’t say anything. It takes Karkat three hours to clean the scene and hide what’s left of the body and thirty minutes of crying at the sink as he washes his hands over and over. Gamzee doesn’t say anything, just sits on the floor beside him, looking at his hands. It surprises both of them when Karkat’s voice cracks through the silence. “We’re moving.” rec'd by marginallyflailing

and even if gamzee actually learned all the rules he would probably ask tav to explain them again just to see him talk about it
