Reprise #1 [Voice > Video] Encore!
The sun's barely rising when he's ushered quite quickly out into the snow-layered town, no good-bye and a newly-acquired Chatot flying behind him. He had originally thought it would be positive to get going quickly, to head and find his family and friends and home... and then he felt the freezing early-morning cold. Oh holy chicken breast, the cold. Pumpkins are warm-season vegetables; apparently his body temperature is reflecting that, which is why he takes a moment to stand there shivering, his lack of a coat and gloves seriously being problematic right now.
They travel a small while to a tiny eating establishment that just seemed to be opening for the day.
[The feed switches on as voice at first, a bird's whistle filling the speakers with its simple repeat tune; it's amateur, but it's catchy.]
Hoo~... he~re we go!
[The still-partially shivering voice will be familiar to some, but the face that just clicked onto the feed's screen'll jog your mind if you can't quite place it. His inquisitive face breaks into a big, toothy grin as he realizes that- yes- it' broadcasting! Which means, people, and more importantly his family are on the other end.]
Wou~ld've said I was back earlier, but our mom sent me away pretty quick this time. o~hoo, think she remembers me?
[A single eyebrow raises with that playful little smirk that always comes out in situations like these.
The fact he turned up at the door of her house to collect his ill-as-fuck wife, who had considered burying this 'Mom' alive aswell... Well, I think there are reasons why she's going to want to get rid of him.]
'Didn't mean to leave in the first place, would've stayed in an instant if I could've. Still, that makes three times from the Otherworld, hm? Maybe it'll bring back some'a the others? It'd make my day to see my little Coraline again.
I'll try'n be home as so~on as I can, kiddos. 'Gonna need to make my way to the next town soon, too! I'm freezin' like a pumpkin out there.
[Hardy-har, Other Father.
As he goes to shut off the feed, he gives a wave to the screen and begins to whistle a much more complex tune that fits perfectly in with the Chatot's, though it does seem to be vibrating a bit. 8| stupid cold.]

Neither did I, Gamzee. But I'm gla~d to be back!

[Maybe if he ever goes back to Johto on his own he'll give this guy a chance. Maybe. It'd be a free place to crash at least.
For now he'll just enjoy the satisfaction that comes with that near wince and knowing that it still has the desired effect.]
video;
In a twist?
[He's learnt to understand swearspeech, even if he doesn't like it, and he's pretty certain he knows exactly what that means...
Home's always open for you, Gamzee. So long as you don't... kill anyone or something.]
video;
[Not that. He would know from experience or anything.
Yeah so what if he doesn't give a shit about other father in particular he's got some issues on top of his issues he's still coming to terms with on the subject of certain parental figures.]
video;
I didn't want to leave a~nyone behind, kiddo, let alone upset 'em.
[He can help with the coming to terms? Or at least he'll try. He knows the trolls all have one problem or another, so he just sees it as they need a bit more help.]
