Equius felt his blood go hot as his strength seemed to come back to him. He looked into the eyes of a murderer and he dared to call him brother? Equius had never felt mire disgusted. To him, Gamzee looked like a bug that needed to be squished beneath his foot.

"What have you done, Gamzee." Equius spat at the clown, who was perched in front of him. He felt warm against the cool night air, and his breath came out of him in slow, strong currents of steam. He tensed every muscle in his body, not knowing what Gamzee was going to do. His eyes stared into those of the clown, but he still felt himself shaking with discomfort at the situation. He knew that this was not going to end well for him. He hoped Gamzee would just think he was cold. "This didn't work too well for you last time." He said in a slow, false confidence.

The Beginning of the End | (closed thread | harlequin-of-fury)

Equius was shivering as he walked down the many sidewalks and streets of the campus. His fists and teeth were clenched, his eyes dashed from one shadow to another, his heart beating faster every time he got thought he saw the silhouette of the clown. Gamzee was the one he was looking for, and his face fell to a cold sweat at the thought of a confrontation. It had been all over the news, or so Equius had been told. The young red-haired man Karkat had ran to him in a panic, telling him a story of a murder victim who had been beaten to death by clubs, words written with his blood. He also told him about troubling messages that he had received from Gamzee, the insane clown who just so happens to be proficient with clubs. Karkat was convinced that it was Gamzee, and Equius didn't need much convincing himself. If he hadn't had a deep hate for the cackling harlequin anyways, Terezi, his only friend, had moved out that morning when he was out of the dorm, not even leaving a note. He blamed himself, but after hearing Karkat's story, he found himself placing the blame on Gamzee. She wouldn't have left him if she didn't have a reason, would she? She must've known about what the clown had done and left in fear. At least, that's what Equius wanted to think. His breathing grew faster the longer he spent looking for the clown. He had beaten the guy to the hospital once, but this was different. He wasn't chasing a insomniac college student, he was chasing a insane killer. The thought to turn around and to leave it be crept into his head more than once, but he had nothing to turn back to. At least nothing that seemed to matter much anymore. And suddenly he was there. The clown in the flesh, Gamzee, stood before him. For a split second, he felt all of his strength leave him, his body feeling weak and his mind scared. He tried his best to maintain his composure, but his breath shook and his words caught in his throat. "Gamzee." He said, addressing the clown for the last time.

Chumchachos—

This has been, honest to God, the best RP experience of my life. I’ve met outrageously amazing people, had lots of sads and lots of fluff, worked on character development and just had all sorts of fun!

Unfortunately, I think it’s time for me to move on. I am coming up with projects...

[bigabops-blog-blog]

I was about to fucking say, ain't not way you're getting out of watching telenovelas with me. Eq's gonna miss you though.

"Nothing" he said, eyes moving to meet Equius’ through glassy eyes.

"Haven’t bothered doing anything else because I have no idea what you want this little guy to do…"

He sensed that his partner did not want to talk about it, or perhaps he just...

[bigabops-blog-blog]

Although he thought Sollux was most likely lacking in sincerity, Equius sat down across from him. He leaned forward in his chair, his arms crossed in front of him. "Is there anything you want to try?" He, enunciating his words. "We are partners."

[harlequin-offury]

He waited for a response that never really arrived, he just watched, waited... Watched...

He threw away what was left and smouldering, watching it drop and the last of the smoke rise.

He had nothing else to do with this guy, Gamzee just waited for parting words or some sort of redemption.

[bigabops-blog-blog]

Equius said nothing as he gave a last look to the clown in the window, turning away to jog again. He was disgusted by the character, and wanted more so to distance himself from the clown. He didn't want to talk to him, and he didn't think he'd be able to without doing something he'd regret.

"Nothing" he said, eyes moving to meet Equius' through glassy eyes.

"Haven't bothered doing anything else because I have no idea what you want this little guy to do..."

[bigabops-blog-blog]

He sensed that his partner did not want to talk about it, or perhaps he just didn't want to talk to him. He was sure that everybody must know about what happened between Gamzee and him. "We can talk about it later, if you want." he said with a certain dejection. He pulled his bag over his shoulder.

[harlequin-offury]

It took him a while but, Gamzee spoke.

"Welcome back Eq!" He called from the window, hoping he was laud enough to not have to repeat himself. watching the other still in his bored looking position. 

He wasn’t being sarcastic or anything, he was glad Equius had returned, Terezi was pretty worried.

Maybe he could even get some payback if it wasn’t too much to ask.

[bigabops-blog-blog]

Equius lowered is gaze, mumbling a response. His blood rushed. He was sure that there was an insincerity in Gamzee's voice. He remembered the betrayal he had felt when Terezi ran to the clown first, boxing him on the ears. She chose him over you. He thought. He remembered why he left, and was left with a bitter emptiness from the entire situation. 

He couldn't help but give a deep scowl to Gamzee, with his vile cigarette hanging out the window, but then again he didn't really try. 

[doomedarmageddons]

“I’m fine” he said instantly, covering his arm up and swapping the hand he held his pen, his left hand was starting to hurt anyway. Sollux hadn’t and didn’t want to tell anyone about his conditions for fear of being an outcast again, hopefully his BP medication was still working, so his swings wouldn’t be as bad as

They were. “What is it you are here to talk to me about?” He questioned, not wanting to offend the other.

[bigabops-blog-blog]

Equius noticed the speed at which Sollux pulled up his sleeve, but decided not to pry at it. He did not need to involve himself in more problems than necessary. "I've been gone for a week." He said, not knowing whether or not his work partner had even noticed. "What's going on with the project?" He was sure that it had been delayed with his absence.

[harlequin-offury]

Oh. Equius was back.

His feelings towards the man were mixed, he’d actually been trying not to think on it, what /should/ he think?

As their eyes met Gamzee only flicked the ash from his cigarette, keeping a steady sight of him. Through haze of the subject he was sure he could take that neck in his hands and watch his expression fade to something much more scared, much more twisted.

It was easy to think of.

So easy.

With a deep huff of a breath Gamzee sucked up some smoke and didn’t watch it go, his eyes were busy.

[bigabops-blog-blog]

Equius glared at Gamzee from the ground, now at his feet and with his breath under control. His heart, on the other hand, was beating out of control. The look on the clown's face was not something that Equius could easily make out, but he knew that he didn't like it. He remembered the sound of Gamzee's bones cracking under his fist. He'd do it again if it came to it.

He thought about calling up to him, but he had nothing to say. He wasn't going to apologize, but he wasn't go to start another fight already, not when he had just gotten back. So instead, he threw punches with his eyes, hoping the clown could feel the strength behind the blows.

[harlequin-offury]

It was a quiet night, Halloween was over and everything seemed tired after parties, costumes and, whatever they’d done. The buzz from such event was all buzzed out.

So, midnight in the hall of the dorms, Gamzee stood, head and an arm out the open window, mist from his breath battling the smoke...

[bigabops-blog-blog]

Equius had gone on a run for the first time since he had returned to the campus, wanting to get back into his old clockwork schedule. He jogged in an old grey hoodie and exercise shorts and concentrated on his breath and heart-rate. It seemed soon that even those fell away as Equius found himself consumed by his thoughts and by his guilt, not knowing where his feet were taking him and caring very little.

Images burned into mind came in flashes as his feet hit the ground. Gamzee's bloodied body laying on the ground, viewed from a victorious vantage point above. The scared look on Terezi's face when she slowly learned what her eyes couldn't see. Feferi's horrified looks as she came upon the scene. The grey horned monster he saw later in the mirror.

It wouldn't have mattered if Equius hadn't worn the jacket, because his blood quickly grew hot. He found that he was sorry for the act, but not for the victim, still thinking of Gamzee of some sort of Joker-esque harlequin with the same crazy look. /I would do it again/ the thought hit him like a freight train crashing him back into the real, unfamiliar world. His feet were tired, his breath heavy and fast as though in feat. How long had he been running? He stopped, leaning over himself in an attempt to catch his breath. He felt like he might throw up.

Trying to maintain his composure, he brought his head up to try and familiarize himself with his surroundings. Was anybody there? No one was walking, and it was late at night. All he saw was an open window and a figure looking out. He made eye contact, and with a fast disgust found that he was looking into the eyes of the clown.

Equius was surprised as Terezi launched herself at him, and instinctively threw his hands over his face. He did not expect her to attempt to tickle him, but it didn’t work. He sat with his arms raised above his face for a few seconds just watching his roommate in her vain...

"Bowling?" Equius hadn't gone bowling since he was a kid, and he hadn't even been good at it then. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he lost to a blind girl.

But he did like the idea of doing something with Terezi. "Okay." He said. It would do him good to do something

/A diner?/ he thought. The first thing he thought of was Dennys, and he didn’t exactly see how it would work out. A get together at a diner sounded like a group of 11th graders after prom to Equius, but he wanted to make Terezi happy. He felt that he owed it to her after the...

Equius was surprised as Terezi launched herself at him, and instinctively threw his hands over his face. He did not expect her to attempt to tickle him, but it didn't work. He sat with his arms raised above his face for a few seconds just watching his roommate in her vain attempt to make him laugh.

"Terezi," he asked "what are you doing?"
