“Hey, you’re smart. Do you think this would be a good place for a house?”

Curiousity hadn’t been expecting to see the blue haired human here. Granted, there were plenty of things nearby to do; she remembered the Peculiar Petting Zoo hadn’t been set up particularly far away. He was probably just being a tourist.

Welcome to scenic Isola Radiale, Nerd!

You will be housed in WEENIE’S LOFT.

You’ll be returned everything you had previously.

“Like planning a wedding. Expert-level difficulty.”

I meant more like a dungeon.

Thankfully, this one was catered with a few snacks here and there. And once everyone had filed in, the tailor began. A hologram popped up on the central table for everyone to view.

“Alright. So, we’ve about come to the end of the month, and I have a few matters to discuss. First and foremost...”

“...You’ve all done a superb job--much better than I expected since that odd bout of activity in that fantasy world about a month ago. All of you have worked very hard, despite the jarring change. So as a thank-you, I’ve gotten into contact with the Golden Dawn Resort. As long as you present your worker’s badge to the front desk, you should be able to pick one of the spa treatments on the Silver list free of charge. I would recommend a visit before the end of the year.

“Next, we have a couple new employees who will be working with us, so please welcome them and answer any questions they may have if I’m not around.

“Thirdly, thank you to everyone that ran the booth in Archimedes during the festival--you’ll be compensated for your time. If anyone cares to help stick around and dismantle it with me, I would appreciate the help.

“And finally, we still have a bit of summer left to go, so keep the theme in mind. Light clothes, swimsuits, raincoats--I’m sure you all know.”

With a satisfied nod, Iori closed the hologram, and gave a bow to his team.

“Thank you all again for your excellent work. I’m humbled, but not at all surprised at your work and determination. But, I’ve held your attention long enough. So--dismissed!”

(tagged workers under the cut!)

[It shouldn’t be that hard to talk with the other. No thanks to the other version of yourself. Seriously what a pain in the ass. May as well just... get the show on the road. After all, you remember feeling kind of jealous of how happy that other you was despite his flaws.]

That was months ago. It was before the stupid Halloween experiment, it was before either of you started vacillating as hard as you ended up, and it was most certainly before you had to take a break from each other. Months ago, you vowed to give him a party, to surround him in all the friends he's made in this city. You wanted him to be able to have good wriggling day memories--everyone should have some--and your current standing with each other didn't matter. In fact, if you got your way, he would never even find out it was your plan. ]

[You knew you were going to throw the party in December--it seemed close to what you knew of Gamzee’s wriggling day--but you didn’t want to get too close to the human holidays that tended to encompass everything, either. So after the ball, you started the process of inviting everyone you knew to: Tavros, Evie, Oz, Rosa, Eridan, Iori, Inumuta, Sollux and even Yuan. Tavros offered to have the gathering at his place, then you determined the exact day--the 15th. Everyone said they’d come. You told them to contribute food or drinks.]

[You spent much of the rest of the week preparing. You got colorful streamers and glitter and those silly party popper things. You finished up your gifts to him too.]

[By the time the last of the guests showed up, Tavros’s place was completely decorated (probably excessively so. You may have had too much fun taping sheets of colorful tissue paper to things). Evie’s cake was set out in the center of the table, surrounded in the other goodies people brought (booze from Rosa, someone brought faygo, you baked (at least you made a solid attempt at baking) some confetti cookies, Tavros made something that smells delicious, etc.).

Then it was time for Tavros to invite Gamzee over.]

    You almost didn’t recognize Inumuta without his FLASHY GETUP and SIGNATURE BLUE EYEWEAR. Granted, you’ve only really seen him a couple of times, so maybe he doesn’t wear that outfit regularly. You happily scoop some rice onto his plate, chiming in for small talk.
