A flake of white, light snow drifts down and lands on a clump of matted, dark hair. The owner of the hair smiles, sipping out of a bottle labeled 'Faygo'. His smile grows as he gets closer to his apartment complex; it'll be warm in there. Plus, he'll have a chance to check his inbox. He's hoping for an invite to a chat with someone on Trollian.
The boy with the Faygo had gotten a Trollian account about fourteen months ago, looking for friends. He'd only met a few; one with the Trollian handle: adiosToreador. AT is a nervous teen, but the Faygo-lover enjoys talking to him nonetheless. A few weeks ago he had invited AT and a few of his other friends to meet up. In public, of course. He was smart enough to know not to invite them to his house.
"Hey, Gamzee!"The girl that lives next door jumps out of the bushes. She's the boy's age, but looks more childish in her cat hat and green coat.
"Sup, sis?"
"Nothin' much. I'm just waiting for my mamma to get back from the store. We're going to eat tuna sandwiches at our tea party!" She smiles and jumps up and down, "Equius came over and we're playing- Oh! We are playing Hide-and-Go-Seek! Bye, Gamzee!"
The cat girl jumps into the nearby bushes she was just hiding in and Gamzee hears leaves rustle as she moves to hide, again. He smirks and continues walking to his complex. He unlocks his front door and takes a deep breath. His home smells like Faygo and marijuana. He rushes inside and closes the door behind him. Quickly setting down his jacket, he walks into the dining room. His laptop is patiently sitting on the table, plugged into the wall.
Gamzee boots up his computer, humming while he waits. When his computer comes alive, he logs onto Trollian and looks to see if he has any messages or invites. He smiles as he looks at his messages. No invites, so far.

The stoned teen laughed and went to the main page to check for an invite before returning to his messages.

Gamzee shuts his laptop, running to his front door. He grabs his keys, shaking as he tries to unlock his door. He's mostly shaking with fear of losing a friend, but there's a tiny part of his that's shaking with the excitement of meeting his friend: adiosToreador.
