Now that you mention it, fuck, pancakes would be the bitchtits right now. [Licks lips, grinning and turning in the direction of the Great Hall.]

[mo_cara]

[slinging an arm around his cousin's shoulders and swinging his cricket back idly by his side as they walk] I wonder if anyone else is all different and un-fucked up?

[innocent_insanity]

[Easily puts arm around Gamzee's waist, shrugging.] Or more fucked up? Who knows, bro, who knows... Seen anyone else what got their wires crossed wrong?

[mo_cara]

[shrugs] I was talking at Vantas, and he seemed to think he was knowing me better than I remember.

[innocent_insanity]

Aren't you fuckers like best of friends or some shit like that?

[mo_cara]

[glances at him] That's what he said, but I ain't remembering no shit like that. I mean, he's got it going on, for damn sure, but he ain't never given me much the time of day.

[innocent_insanity]

Motherfucker, if you two were any closer you'd be fucking each other. Daily. [Completely serious.]

[mo_cara]

[looks dubious] He didn't look too ready to fuck me, he was just doing that shouty thing he does, where all them nonsense words go skitter-scattering out his chute. That was still pretty weird, though, 'cause normally that motherfucker be lookin' scared my direction mostly.

[innocent_insanity]

[Snickers.] I didn't mean you two fuckers are IN LOVE OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT, just awful close.

[mo_cara]

Huh. [pauses, looking thoughtful, and then smiles suddenly, something smaller and a little more subtle than his usual grins] Cool.

[innocent_insanity]

Yeah, you fuckers are pretty tight. [Nods decisively, noting the Great Hall doors appearing around the bend.]

[mo_cara]

Yeah, we ain't like that where I'm from. Ain't tight with nobody 'cept you, I guess. [And they can saunter into the Great Hall and grab some breakfast, before they sit at the Slytherin table. Gamzee's looking around, clearly surprised by where some people are sitting, and with who.]

[innocent_insanity]

Eh, at least you still got me then. [Looks around curiously at the students mixed around as he sits, getting several pancakes onto his plate and drenching them in syrup and butter.] Looks like we're not the only fuckers out of sorts here. The fuck is Everdeen doing out of Slytherin?

[mo_cara]

[glances over at her, shrugging] Maybe she's all being less of a bitch here. [grins, reaching over to swipe his fingers through Kurloz's syrup, and licking the maple sticky sweetness happily from the digits]

[innocent_insanity]

[Glances around the room and rolls his eyes when he notices Gamzee taking his syrup.]

RUDE, get your own FUCKING SWEET SHIT. [Smiles a bit to show he's only teasing, digging into his breakfast.]

[mo_cara]

What's mine is yours and vice fuckin' verses~ [sing songs merrily, though he snags himself a big sticky bun and sits back, propping his big feet up on the table and sprawling across the bench to pick apart the pastry and eat it in little bits]

[innocent_insanity]

[Rolls eyes and keeps eating, shoving Gamzee's feet off the table with his elbow.]

Didn't anyone teach you ANY FUCKING MANNERS? [Snickers, nomming still.]

[mo_cara]

That's for them what deserves it. [nonchalantly, poking Kurloz's thigh with his toe in retaliation] You got to EARN RESPECT, motherfucker. [He grins, then, lazily.]

[innocent_insanity]

[Pokes Gamzee in the side with a syrup-sticky finger.]

I can still wrestle you to the FUCKING GROUND BITCH, don't you go throwing the respect deserving card on ME.

[mo_cara]

[His grin grows teeth.] Come and TRY IT, cont gwirion. [after all, a little friendly fighting is always fun and bracing]

[innocent_insanity]

[Stares and then finally grins just a bit viciously.]

You trying for a MOTHERFUCKING THROW DOWN?

[mo_cara]

If you got the BALLS FOR IT, motherfucker! [grins] And you ain't minding looking up at me WHEN YOU HIT THE GROUND.

[innocent_insanity]

All right, THAT'S FUCKING IT!

... But breakfast first.

[Picks up pancake and slaps the syrupy thing right on Gamzee's face.]

[mo_cara]

[There's a brief look of astonishment, and then Gamzee is grinning, pulling sticky pancake from his face, and lunging at Kurloz all in one move. He fully intends to wipe that syrup off using his cousin's robes - it's only fair, after all.]

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz does what any sane person would do - he scrambles to his feet and runs over the other side of the table while laughing like a loon.]
