She tried to set me on fiiiiire that one time?

Then again, I guess that could be a sign of affection.

[SHRUGS]

She was also kinda lacking in morals at the time.

... and probably thought you had a cute panic face.

[anyway, to the bedroom]

One day I'm going to tell someone I don't do "cute" and they'll actually believe me.

[rolls his eyes as he follows]

[snerks]

Sure they will.

[gonna close his door when they're inside and then flop on the bed.]

Shut up.

[shoves at Joker's shoulder when he flops onto the bed, quickly following suit]

[propping self up at the head of the bed, stretching out]

You at least remember to get a pipe or something?

I remember smoking cigarettes, not pipes.

[he's got rolling paper for joints, pal]

. . . or weed, actually.

[anyway this is gonna be an adventure]

... well. Learning experiences.

I've never smoked either, so I'm relying on you.

[thumbs up]

Try not to hack up your lungs the first time you take a drag.

[if u think Mars didn't smoke a weed at least once during his 100 years of time looping ur wrong]

[but he does have to rely on muscle memory to roll up a joint]

Yes, mother.

[gonna watch him as he does that. and probably letting him take the first hit]

[flops backwards onto Joker's pillows and lights up when he's finished, taking a slow, easy drag with his eyes shut. he holds it for a second or two before letting it out and passing the joint to Joker]

[DEFINITELY. . . SOMEONE WITH SMOKING EXPERIENCE. . .]

[WHATEVER! SHOW OFF!

... anyway, Joker is definitely going to choke out, but that's fine. it just means inhaled too much and will in fact getting hit harder faster maybe]

[HE PROBABLY NEEDS IT]

[just. gonna pat his back while he chokes]

[incentive to flop on top of double, though.

making a kind of annoyed noise because HE TRIED. NOT TO CHOKE?]

[HE CAN DO THAT IF HE WANTS]

Happens to the best of us the very first time.

[he thinks? he doesn't actually know and-or remember but that seems about right]

Does it...?

[in fact, flopping on double is a good idea because... whoa. whoa, dude.

...

maybe something of a nervous-sounding snicker thing escapes him because whoooa...]

[whoa hello]

[. . . just gonna. pat the back of his head]

Hitting you hard and fast already?

Mm.

[letting his fingers pick at Mars's shirt because. texture. fascinating.]

It's...

[and then he trails off because whoa. words and their meanings when they're placed in certain orders and things he only thinks about when he's actively knowingly wearing a mask and who said thoughts were allowed to go by that quick, anyway?!]

... words suck.

[says it like he's somewhere between mystified and offended]

[relaxing a bit himself as the high hits him, but he's a lot calmer and less loopy about it b/c of his (not-yet-remembered) experiences, so. continues patting Joker's head]

Yeah.

[WORDS SUPER SUCK]

I've got Buddy Bond.

[for when words fail]

[... god.

Buddy Bond.

the thought of all those emotions going on and debating if overloading himself further will actually help or not--and then of course thoughts that he actually has an ability that can be used to overload emotions and--]

Maybe...

[slides an arm around Joker's waist, settling at the small of his back]

Up to you.

... just thinking 'bout... the upgrades to Bad End's stuff.

[awkward. laugh?]

It's... also emotion based.

Upgrades?

[guess who hasn't read about the upgrades b/c he doesn't read anything he doesn't have to read]

What's that mean?

One of our abilities... was reading disagreement with people? But now we can... tell what people are currently feeling.

And our other ability used to be... amplifying bad emotions? But now it's... amplify current felt emotions.

It's tempting. A lot.

[VERY. TEMPTING, IN FACT.]

. . . like Buddy Bond, only one-sided.

Hey. . . you're copying us.

[GRUMPS]

You should do it.

[uh]
