[And here would Luke be, trying to get used to this technology stuff. Of course, when you have a cheagle snuggling against the side of your face while you're trying to figure out what button does what, you're usually not very successful. He let out an annoyed noise, shoving the thing out of his face. The little pink cheagle dropped onto his lap, poking its head up so it could just be seen at the bottom of the screen.]

Uh... the scientists left me this thing, but I have no idea what its name is. There isn't anyone that can speak monster by any chance, is there?

[The cheagle jumped up, big ears waving as if it could fly.]

Mieu! Mieumieu Mieuuuuu~

[Luke tolerates that for all of two seconds before he dropped his fist down on its head.]

What'd I tell you about doing that?!

Mieuuuu...

I don't think you're gonna find anyone who can answer you, considering the context you're giving here. Maybe you should just call it "Mieu."

[Video]

[sacred_flamer]

I can't do that! That's a boy's name.

[...wait a second.]

...Yu?

[sukeban]

It's not anything's name. How does that even-

[Heeere we go again.]

No, not me. You.

[sacred_flamer]

Yeah it is, obviously.

[Duh; don't you know cheagles at all?]

[The last part makes him frown though, staring at the screen.]

No, you're Yu... I think. What did you do to you hair?

[sukeban]

Of course I'm me. What, did you think I was you or something? And I didn't do anything to it. What does that have to do with anything?

[You'd think not sounding exactly like Guy would clue him in, too, wouldn't you?]

Awwwwwwwww! It's so cute! Hi there, little one! [ It's fluffy and cute and Ryoji is very taken with the cheagle, waving to it before looking more at Luke. ]

Have you asked it to write its name out? [ ... nope, apparently it hasn't occurred to Ryoji that the reason this red-haired guy is asking if people speak monster is probably because there are communication problems all around. ]

[Shortly after Luke's transmission, there's another monster-looking thing pressing its face up against the camera/screen, trying to get a better look at the cheagle. Gamzee's got droopy, all-yellow eyes and a mouth full of dirty fangs - not something most people would want shoved right in their faces without warning. Hell, even with warning.]

Whoaaaa, the fuck is that little dude, motherfucker!?

[sacred_flamer]

[...maybe he has a cold?]

No, you're Yu! Y-U! And your hair is supposed to be short!

[video]

[sacred_flamer]

[The cheagle primed itself up at the mention of it being cute, cleaning its fur as if it needed to look better for Ryoji.]

[Luke, meanwhile, stared blankly at that suggestion.]

...I didn't think of that.

[sacred_flamer]

GAH!

MIEU!

[Both Luke and the cheagle jumped back a good foot, staring at the screen with wide eyes.]

[video]

[death_awaits_you]

Oh! Well, do you have paper? Maybe it can tell us now!

[ Ryoji laughs a little, as the cheagle cleans itself. ]

You are definitely a pretty little princess! [pause] or are you a prince, little one?

[sukeban]

Why me what?! And it is short!

[sacred_flamer]

No! Letters! Y-U! That's your name!

And that's not nearly short enough compared to what it usually is!

[sukeban]

What are you talking about? Of course my name has letters. Four of them, even.

If anything, it used to be longer. It got too hard to manage.

[Video.]

[hystericull]

[Oh, look at that. Their sudden reaction makes Gamzee jump back, himself, honking in fright and nearly tumbling out of his chair.]

HONK HONK HONK HONK!!!

[video]

[sacred_flamer]

Er...

[Luke paused, fishing around for a piece of paper. Meanwhile, the cheagle jumped up, shaking its tail back and forth... which, because the tail was so small, led to it shaking it's butt back and forth.]

Mieu! Mieu mieuuu~

Of course its gotta be a girl. It's pink!

[Video.]

[sacred_flamer]

[Oh god, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell... it was honking now. Honking. What the hell!?]

[sacred_flamer]

Four letters? But 'Yu' is only two letters!

What are you talking about?

[sukeban]

No, "you" is three letters. What does that have to do with my name, anyway?

I could ask you that, y'know.

[Video.] no i can't handle this help me

[hystericull]

[After a while, the racket stopped. The kid had caught himself just in the nick of time - before falling backwards, he'd hooked his big purple sneakers on to the terminal and pulled himself upright, clutching on to the sides with those bony, clawed fingers of his.]

Holy shit, brother. Why you all up and scaring a motherfucker like all you just were to be fuckin' doing?

[sacred_flamer]

Okay, okay... wait.

What's your name?

[Video.] XDDDD

[sacred_flamer]

Well... you... just...

What the hell are you!?

[The cheagle popped up, pointing an accusing arm at him.]

Mieu mieu!

[Video.]

[hystericull]

[Bwuh--]

[Awkward staring. You'd think after having to explain himself multiple times, humans and trolls not knowing about each other would stop coming as a surprise to him. Luke's question gets a laugh out of him, baring his teeth in a friendly, doped-up grin.]

I'm a Gamzee, motherfucker.

The fuck are you?

[Video.]

[sacred_flamer]

I'm a human, obviously!

What the heck is a 'gamzee' supposed to be?!
