[criminaljustice]

[... why is today like this.

just. how does he even...

oh wait.

a thought comes to mind.]

--even with my own murder... I'm fucking scapegoated.

[HOW IS THIS? FAIR?

in fact, he feels pretty numb? and probably looks it, too, mechanically moving to pull out his phone to start texting A:]

Joker: i'm not mad
Joker: where are you?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . someone else is actually grabbing Joker tightly by the elbow as he pulls out his phone]

[criminaljustice]

[pauses, barely looking to him.]

What is it?

[flat.

it's a bad day today, so. like.]

[foolmetwice]

. . . was that yours? Or his?

[criminaljustice]

... his.

[foolmetwice]

[draws his hand back, fingers flexing into a fist at his waist]

[. . .]

[and he doesn't say anything else, mostly because he isn't sure what else to say. cccconflicted feelings]

[criminaljustice]

[well.

the good bad news is that A is not online

and Joker knows very well A won't be found if he doesn't want to be found

so he's just kind of

staring at his phone.]

[afailedmurder]

[A is offline]

[foolishjourney]

[Today is SURE A MEMORY DAY, HUH.]

...You okay?

[criminaljustice]

[... my boyfriend I just watched frame me for my own murder isn't answering my texts.

doesn't even know hot to answer that question.

might be in a bit of shock?]

[foolishjourney]

[ah. so he sees.]

...Can I get you anything?

[his stomach is still churning a bit after watching joker get shot in the head, not to mention what happened with mars' memory earlier, but his bigger concern was their wellbeing than his own weak constitution.]

[criminaljustice]

[mouth opens

mouth closes

seems a bit confused like--why would you ask about him needing anything when A's the one having the hardest time?]

... I just need to find him.

[foolishjourney]

[you just watched someone shoot you in the head???? joker????? that has to be at least a little bit traumatizing.]

...I'll keep a look out for you.

[criminaljustice]

[BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME I HAVE EVEN PROCESSED THAT IN THE LEAST]

... thanks, Lily.

[except like. still at a loss of where to even start looking]

[rollplayinghouse]

[It is not very much later, but when she runs into him on her own fruitless search for A she pauses and meets his eyes.]

[criminaljustice]

[... he is in fact. not doing that fine.

just kind of the numbed stare of someone who's probably refusing to let what he just saw hit him but also like getting a bit on the panicked side because he has to find A]

Did you find him?

[rollplayinghouse]

No. I'm guessing he doesn't want to be found.

But he can't hide forever. Try to calm down a bit.

[criminaljustice]

No.

He's going to... be stupid about this.

We need to find him.

[rollplayinghouse]

I know he's going to be stupid about this. But there's really only so stupid he can be, and you also need to not be stupid about this.

[criminaljustice]

[NOT be stupid? this seems absurd when everything happening today has been stupid and bad and not good and okay, maybe it's all starting to hit a little.

at least he looks less likely to do something stupid?]

[malignstar]

[ While Sunshine was pretty low-key about the last memory, this one gets an immediate response, as he rushes to find Joker. ]

Joker!

[criminaljustice]

[Joker is...

...


fiiiiine?

he's fine.

he just really needs to find A, so...]

[malignstar]

Joker, whose memory was that?

[criminaljustice]

[oh.

kind of stares at for a moment, but--]

A's. It was... A's.

[malignstar]

[ Does he know A? Not well enough for it to register, other than the knowledge that the person is an AlcheMe. Which is bizarre in of itself. ]

An AlcheMe?
