Who: Joker and whoever
Where: BAD END=DEAD END
When: post-A drama and onward through Day 76 probably

[anyway, a certain Wild Card is going to head to his room and flop face-first into his bed.

if anyone needs him, well. he's not hard to find.

how's everyone else on the unit doing?]

[idly draws a hand up, fingers brushing over the marks on his neck. some people aren't looking for deep connections. that's. . . that's him, isn't it?]

[. . .]

[isn't it?]

[might be easier to indulge if he told himself it all meant nothing. if he lied to himself just a tiny little bit, and insisted he was capable of getting involved without any feelings attached]

Huh. . .

[just. a thoughtful noise, curious and understanding. he reaches out emotionally to shooshpap Joker, too. shhhh. it's okay]

[it's not actually okay, but he leans into the emotional shooshpapping like an eager feline just yeah would rather not think too hard right now and in fact that was hard to think about considering what's gone on that day.

insecurities and self-doubt and all that fun stuff can go stuff it in some dark corner somewhere. superior catnip wins.]

. . .

[paps Joker's face alongside the emotional shooshpapping. sorry he keeps bringing up bad feelings, buddy]

[it's ok. he already knows you're rude like that.

he also makes a soft sound when he feels his cheek papped, not displeased]

[oh the things he'd be willing to do right here and now if he had far fewer feelings]

[smooshes Joker's cheeks together]

[Mars, he can feel that.

and also can feel the face smooshing. it has him opening his eyes again to look indignant.]

[laughing, a free and breathless noise, which is. new??? Mars never looks this relaxed and genuinely amused??]

[... it's such a good look for him tho?

maybe emotional manipulating him into it is a bit cheating but also... aaaalsooo...

can't help feeling a bit satisfied with this. even though he maintains a fussy face]

M'cheeks...

[BE GOOD, JOKER]

What about them?

[continues cheek squishing!!]

[HE IS BEING GOOD???

he is also making fussy noises now. actually some real fuss but more because noooo you can't do this to hiiiim???]

[yes he can!! HE CAN AND HE WILL]

[laughing some more]

You're actually kind of a dork, aren't you?

[so not cool, Joker]

... is that supposed to be surprising?

[like. legit though. ????

oh nooo his not-so-secret dork side: discovered]

No. Yes? I don't know. I always see your super serious side, or your cool bratty rebel side.

This is new.

[why are you surprised Mars you too are a dork]
