Notes:

Building from scratch Act 4 Intermission 2

But... um... you don't really need any familiarity with the series if you just want to work a dang logic puzzle based on the mess that has become of the characters' social interactions.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Puzzle

Chapter Text

The meteor is flooding again. Dave, Gamzee, Kanaya, Karkat, Rose and
Terezi are stranded in the foodblock. They are safe for now, but the
waters are rising. They need to make it to the nearby airlock and seal
themselves off until the flood subsides. They are separated from their
goal by fast running water which is unsafe to cross normally.
Fortunately, they have a bathtub which could be used as a boat to
safely cross the gap. The bathtub can hold up to two people at a time.
Unfortunately, the situation on the meteor is tense and the following
restrictions must be observed at all times in order to avoid further
degeneration:

* Terezi and Gamzee cannot be left unaccompanied, or Terezi will try
to kill Gamzee.
* Karkat will not allow Kanaya and Gamzee to be left unaccompanied based on similar fears.
* Terezi and Karkat cannot be left unaccompanied or they will start
spadesing at each other again.
* Rose and Kanaya cannot be left alone without at least three others
present or they will both turn into gibbering messes.
* Rose and Terezi cannot be separated, or else Rose will get drunk off her ass.
* Rose is in no fit shape to count as accompanying anyone.

How do they all survive?
