Okay, pause the story for a second because this is kind of important. [He mimes the timeout symbol and his face turns suddenly serious.] If you do, happen to meet Gamzee, be careful around him. The first time he was here, he was just this silly stoner clown, a bit spacey and hard to understand sometimes but generally a likable guy.
[Even if he was a clown.]
He's not like that anymore. I guess the best way to put it is that when he comes down from his high, he comes down hard. It happened once the first time he was here, we will get to that part in a minute, but he's permanently off the troll drugs now. More importantly, he refuses to go back on them. Karkat is his moirail and he keeps him in line but...still. You can never be too careful.
