[criminaljustice]

[... uh.]

Uh... which one of who?

[justfuckingtryit]

Which one of those assholes did you have heal me while I wasn't awake to tell you no?

[He sure is going to try and hoist Joker up by the front of his shirt. Hysmine Blessing is ON.]

[criminaljustice]

[man, he bought his Hysmine Blessing already but not gonna fight it. HE AIN'T DID NO WRONG.]

--Lucifel.

[justfuckingtryit]

He's the only one you asked?

[criminaljustice]

He's the only one, yeah.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Gives him a single shake, harsh, before he lets him drop.]

Never fucking do that again. Do you understand me?

[criminaljustice]

No.

[a little bit of temper showing now]

No, like hell I'm going to let you go pick fights when you're riddled with bullet holes that you can tear open even deeper and kill yourself.

[justfuckingtryit]

I would have won.

[criminaljustice]

You would have died.

People jumped in the way to protect Yasuragi the last time someone publicly took issue with him--do you really think that they wouldn't do the same thing?!

[justfuckingtryit]

Then I'd have fucking took them down, too!

[criminaljustice]

Stop being fucking delusional!

You wanna be pissed at me for pulling that? Fine. But I'm not sorry and I'd do it again if I had reason to believe your life was in danger--which it was.

[justfuckingtryit]

So, what? I'm supposed to let him do whatever the fuck he wants, and roll over and take it?

[Grabbing for Joker's shirt again, sorry Joker's shirt.]

[criminaljustice]

[SHOVING AT HIM with a bit of Hysmine Blessing in it. STOP STRETCHING OUT MY SHIRT?!]

Is that what I fucking said? I never said don't ever go at them! I only said get yourself healed first, and then you went and had a fucking tantrum about it! What are you?! Five?

[justfuckingtryit]

[SHOVING BACK, more than a touch of Hysmine Blessing in there. Also: Eris Alert is on. How you feeling, Joker?]

No, I'm a fucking adult! And that means I ought to be able to make my own decisions without some asshole making them for me!

[criminaljustice]

[ANGRY because WHY THE HELL IS THIS EVEN A FIGHT?! WHY IS HE TAKING THE BLAME FOR THIS SHIT?! WHY IS THORN BEING SO FUCKING STUPID?!

a lot of hurt, also, tied in with a panicked fear and alarm over the idea of Thorn getting himself killed because he's not thinking things through

a touch of desperation to be understood because! he just! wanted Thorn to be okay?!

concern, worry, confusion on how to handle this and feeling powerless to change anything.

at the bottom of it all, a dark pit of crashing self-esteem and worth as he tries to fight against the feeling of resigning himself to being seen as the bad guy in this--looping right back to ANGRY BECAUSE! NO! HE'S NOT!]

Guess that explains why you're acting like such a shit--every single adult I've ever known has been an asshole, so why the hell did I expect differently from you?!

[hurt hurt hurt and actually sad loneliness because there was an adult he had trusted, but he's gone now]

FEEL FREE TO IGNORE THIS

[searingedgelord]

[not interjecting, but quietly raising an eyebrow at Joker’s words because Oni was an adult who was not an asshole. She doesn’t have Eric’s Alert yet, but she knows that much.]

NOT IGNORING IT ANYMORE

[criminaljustice]

[BUT I GUESS FIGHT OVER AND EVERYTHING FEELS BAD]

Re: NOT IGNORING IT ANYMORE

[searingedgelord]

[approaching him once Thorn storms out]

Hey.

Re: NOT IGNORING IT ANYMORE

[criminaljustice]

[it feels. really bad?

clearly an I Fucked UP reaction but also trying hard not to let it be.]

... sorry about the yelling.

[kind of muttered, quiet.]

[searingedgelord]

Don’t be. You had reason to. Thorn was being stupid.

[justfuckingtryit]

[There's - a lot in there he wasn't expecting, actually. It catches him off guard, for just a beat, whatever he'd been planning on saying dying visibly on his tongue.]

[He'd wanted to stoke that anger into a fight, because he kind of needs a fight right now, but now - now maybe not. The reply, when it comes, is less heat and more bitterness:]

Who fucking knows? Guess you just didn't know me that well.

[And he turns for the door.]

[criminaljustice]

[...

well.

that feels.

worse?

but it's fine.

what else did he expect, anyway?!]

[justfuckingtryit]

[The door slams open, and then closed again.]

[justfuckingtryit]

[Though, at some ridiculous hour, like 2 am or so, the 300 points for the healing shows up in his account.]

[criminaljustice]

[you nerd. he didn't even pay for the healing]
