Summary
     Gamzee loses a leg when he tries to go after his lusus one night and
     gets caught in the jaws of an ocean beast. Barely alive he gets back
     to his hive and manages to call for help, and him and his rescuer
     quickly come to blows when Gamzee has to be sober to get his
     prosthesis.
Notes
See the end of the work for notes
Gamzee pulled himself to his hive, blood streaming from his leg. The second
that he had the ability to reach the husktop he sent a slurred email to the
person that he felt was the most likely to be able to help him.
Equius was working on repairing another of his damaged robots when his
pesterchum pinged. He hadn't spoken to anyone but nepeta lately and he knew for
a fact that she was hunting at the moment. He set down the thing that he was
working with, and picked his way over to the husktop. There was a slurred
message from Gamzee in it that lacked any of his normal typing quirk. Equius
began to sweat, as he read the message and gathered his things to make the trip
to Gamzee's hive. 
He managed to arrive only an hour later, to find Gamzee passed out on the floor
of bloodloss and wearing a shoddy self-applied bandage. Equius immediately set
to work on the sopor addled troll, dragging him to a cleaner area of the hive
and putting a tourniquet on the leg so that he had some time to clean a
workspace. The first thing he did was to resuscitate the troll and get some
fluids into the troll that didn't induce dehydration like the soda that the
troll drank.

He hesitated to put the troll on any painkillers though, when the troll was so
obviously currently under the influence of sopor slime. The wet troll even had
a smear of slime on his face and there was a half of an eaten pie next to where
Equius had found the pan-addled indigoblood.

The sun was rising by the time that Equius had arrived, and by the time he had
properly stabilised Gamzee it was already going down and that he had worked all
day on the troll and he was exhausted. He fell asleep in a horn pile after
disposing of all of the sopor in the hive.

When he woke around midnight he saw that Gamzee was crawling around his hive
and looking through his cupboards.

Gamzee noticed that Equius was awake and gave him a slanted smile through his
smeared greasepaint. "Hey sweaty bro, how's it motherfucking hanging?" he said
lazily. Equius had treated many other patients and could tell the signs of a
troll in pain. There was a sheen of indigo sweat on the newly-amputee's brow
that made him sweat in turn.  He always had trouble ordering patients higher
blooded than him back to their recuperation slabs.
"Highblood, you are injured and it is imperative that you rest. You also may
not ingest any more sopor until your recovery is complete because the
medication will react poorly with sopor slime in the bloodstream. Because of
this, I have removed all sopor slime from the premesis." After the end of the
three simple sentences he had to decaptchalogue a towel while he waited for the
response.

"Well motherfuck that harshes the buzz a brother all up and be having.
Motherfuckin miracle that keeps a brother alive though, with all those hungry
fish brothers in the sea." The indigoblood forlornly crawled to his
recuperation slab and pulled himself onto it.
End Notes
     I gathered this together real fast to use in the Ouroboros mix
     because I would love to see someone remix this or continue it.
     This is all I am doing until I can figure out pesterlogs. -sobs-
