Gamzee: Repair

You’re screaming for a while until two hands pull you from scene into the other room.
Eridan.
He calms you down to the best of his ability before making sure you can still react to him and his tests. You sob, still smelling and feeling the blood all over yourself and the wetness it leaves against your skin.

Eridan talks slow to you, making sure you understand what he says. He wants you to help him get the pieces of Gam, yes he knows, that’s gross and sad, and awful. But he NEEDS you to get them and take them downstairs. The sooner you can get through this, the better.

When you both walk back into the kitchen, your stomach drops again, yet, you notice Maisy. The golden retriever was sniffing and nudging both torn clowns. It look as if she were wanting them to get up. This made your stomach churn, but you moved to Gam, picking up both parts and captchaloguing them, then the stuff of his that was now soaked in blood. Poor pillow.
Hey, this is your shirt.
Thief.

Eridan picks the basket of Starboy and moved down the stairs to the basement, you right behind him. You feel Maisy place a paw on your arm before she trots off to drink some water. What a strange dog.

When you reach the basement, Eridan gestures for you to move into Etoile’s workshop, setting the basket down beside a large table.

“Wwe’re goin’ to havve to put this one back together.”

You let out another sob in response, vision lost behind a wave of hot tears. You can’t handle this. You fling your blood soaked shirt to the floor, whimpering as you see a purple mess lingering on your torso.

Gam’s blood
your matesprit’s blood.

Not so quietly, you watch Eridan take care of putting the pieces of Etoile onto the table, putting his pieces in order like a gruesome puzzle. You almost scream again when you see he’s missing pieces and chunks. 

A sigh from Eridan has you looking over. 
“Wwe need parts.” To your horror, he looks you in the eyes. 
“Wwhere’d you put the other clowwn’s bits?”

All you do is let out another cry of emotional pain.
No
NO.
You can’t do this.

Instead, you push yourself over, digging through the cards in your modus, for once anoyed with the way they bounce around and flicker. You pull the sewing kit out, the one… Etoile… asked you to get.
Etoile knew how bad it was going to get.
Motherfucker.

You set the box down and open it up, shakily trying to get yourself to thread a needle. You needed to do this. 
You were scared of stitches and anything relating to it…
Yet, you were more scared of never seeing your friend again in one piece. You take harsh breaths, attempting to calm down.

Stitching isn’t fun.
Stitching is hard work.
Plus, it’s hard to sew pieces of your friend together while also having a mental breakdown yourself.
You struggle, stop, breathe, and manage.
Panting
Crying
Screaming
Shaking
You finish stitching your friend just about–
Yet, you have to stop when you reach the spot where Etoile’s arm is missing.
besides that, there are pieces of torn flesh that need more skin to repair it properly.

It makes you want to throw up.

When Eridan comes back, he notices what’s needed and looks at you again, and you can feel it.

Your breathing picks up sharp.

“Gamzee, he’s not evven usin’ those parts.”

You stand still. You don’t want to do this.
Your lip quivers and you feel more tears fall from your eye.

“Stop that-”

You barely hear what Eridan has to say. It’s not until he’s facing you and has his hands at his hips that you decide to just give in.
Pulling both sections from your sylladex, you flop Gam onto another table, not looking at his body in the moment. You’ll just end up screaming again.

You feel like you might vomit, and when you see Eridan walk over towards Gam’s carcass, you get nervous, sick, and loud. Now, you’re looking. You pay attention to how he removes Gam’s left arm from the body using some… unknown magic to you.

You’re screaming again, but Eridan shushes you, moving over to Etoile’s body and begins suturing the arm onto him. You can feel yourself hyperventilating, and your eyes meet with a ring. 

Gam’s engagement ring was still on his finger.
With a croon of sorrow, you pull the ring off his dead finger, then your attention is drawn by a glow.
Eridan was now moving his hands around Etoile’s body, hands glowing. He noticed the stitched areas growing taut around.

Then, Eridan went back to Gam’s body.
It was a cycle of screaming, taking, and suturing pieces and sections onto your dead friend. Pieces of Gam were used. It felt wrong.

Halfway through, Eridan looks at you, giving the blankest expression.

“By the wway, don’t tell anyone i can do this.”
You just stand there, watching, waiting.

When you were sure Eridan was done, you captchalogue the mess of flesh that was Gam, watching with the violet blood. Watched until Eridan pointed out movement from Etoile’s leg.

If his body was reacting, that means Etoile was going to wake up at some point.

It was then hat you pulled a device from your sylladex.
A blood transfuser

It was time to donate a little blood (half of your blood supply)  for a worthy cause.

You’re a mess but that doesn’t mean you can’t help.

Gamzee: Witness

<===

All three– four? of you reach the hive, settling into the kitchen with the basket of body parts. You feel queasy, having to see your friend torn apart like this, but you were determined to try and fix this, though, you hated stitching.

Your matesprit puts Etoile’s torso into the basket with the rest, and now you noticed, finally, he was bleeding from his head and nose. He didn’t fall or anything, so you’re confused as to why– He looks scared, terrified.
Like he knows.
Like this…
Wait.

You start to see his face…. split like a melon, slowly, gradually.
And purple was seeping through his shirt. He was bleeding profusely out of nowhere, as though he were ripping in half.
This can’t be it.
This can’t be what Etoile meant.
You see him look at you and shakily extend a hand in your direction
“I-It hurts s-so b- .. bad Gamz-ee- I don’t want to g-go-FUCK! NO! NO! NO!”

Panic fills you and before you can reach for him, he reaches for you, grabbing your hand and showing the fear in his eyes, in his soul. He was scared, and so were you. Hearing your matesprit cry out in pain and frustration made your eyes sting with fresh tears.

“No..”
That’s all you can muster before your attention drops, seeing Gam’s guts drop onto the floor between his legs.
Gam’s speaking, speaking in a language you don’t understand and a ringing starts in your ear and suddenly, in a burst of purple, Gam is falling into two pieces on either side of you.
Someone’s screaming.

Oh wait.

It’s you.

Gamzee: Seek

Having been inquired by your matesprit, you both get dressed and make your way over to Etoile’s abode, making it to the basement. All you see is damage, blood, and holes. It was obvious your friend had himself a meltdown before going … where? 

Both you and Gam head upstairs to the kitchen where you see Eridan, the over of the house, standing there with Etoile’s dog, Maisy. You almost reach down to pet, but then you decide to ask what you need to know. 

“You know where Etoile is?”

The woods.
At first you didn’t react, as that was a normal place of calm for your friend, yet repeating the phrase in your head leaves you to start stressing out. He told you something bad would happen to him in the woods. Damn it! He was suppose to steer clear of the place.
Gam, seeing the look of worry on your face, gets worried as well, starting out the door closest to him and heading for it.
You run after him, whining to yourself about this. 

“Gam, don’t. Just stay here and I’ll go get him.”

Gam carried on each time you persisted that he stay behind, and YOU weren’t about to turn tail either. It didn’t stop you from asking against once they reached the entrance to the woods, you begging Gam not to go in there.
While you both stopped, Eridan caught up, having been following them the entire time.

The added party member threw you off and you noticed Gam start walking again and this time you just followed, trying to move faster than him. It was a matter of time before they both stopped, see purple sprayed all over the area, and bits of… something scattered.
“Wh-”
One final time, you try to hold Gam back, but he pushes forward and, as you feared, it was 

Etoile.

Here
There
everywhere.

Your eyes flit to all the detail, the skin, the limbs, the beautifully splattered blood, and even the shreds of clothes that you’d commonly mock Etoile for wearing. It makes you shake, makes you sick. You can see Gam trying to gather the pieces of his moirail before breaking down.

He quickly finds Etoile’s head and torso, spending that time to cradle it close. You and Eridan take this as cue to gather the rest of the parts and you decaptchalogue your new laundry basket, it seeming a perfect fit for the endeavor.

“God.” You hear Eridan proclaim grossed out curses under his breath as he picks his hivemate up bit by bit.

Gam, still carrying the torso of his moirail, follows you and Eridan back to the hive. This didn’t have to be the end.
This could be helped.

You don’t even notice your matesprit starting to bleed.
