Gamzee pulls out of him, and for a moment, it's like Dave's been electrocuted - his jaw drops open, he makes a noise that's nearly a scream, and he's left shuddering on the floor, raising new bruises on his pale skin as his body bangs against the floor. There's a high ringing in his ears, and it fades only slowly, as does the gray veil that seems to have dropped over his eyes.

He makes a snatch for the earring as Gamzee tosses it, and only manages to barely snag it, fumbling it on the way down to his eyes. Turns out its not so bad - he was expecting something all girly and shit, but it's just a little silver hoop, trimmed in some kind of indigo...shell, or jewel, or something? He turns it in front of his shades for a moment, still sprawled out butt-naked on the floor, then shrugs and reaches up to try and work it into his ear.

"Why the fuck not, I guess."
