Joker: A's grumpy about game theory but he got some parfait Joker: K's the other AlcheME that got wrecked, so stopping by probably wouldn't be a bad idea if just to say hi
mars: why is he grumpy about game theory and has he always been easily bribed with parfait mars: and i don't know k, like at all mars: but i guess i should make sure b and c aren't freaking out over their teammates getting fucked up
Joker: because he's a nerd and if you don't know he has a sweet tooth by now, I really have to judge a little Joker: I don't really know K, either, but B gave him the extra parfait I made Joker: I think B and C are mostly making sure no one's freaking out about them Joker: they only let me in so far, so if you can work that angle, that'd help a lot...
[when you worry a lot about certain people but also certain events have kind of... locked you out of confidant building.]
Joker: I've been a hot mess for a long time, and B doesn't need the drama Joker: i think we're both just comfortable being chill friends Joker: and C was pretty brutal about how I handled things after the Trial--for good reason Joker: but he's definitely put a large neon warning sign on me or something Joker: though it's been easing up a bit in recent days Joker: anyway, I do what I can when I can, but I figure you might be closer to them at this point
[SHHHHHH HE ISN'T VOCALIZING THESE INSECURITIES AT ALL]
mars: don't know mars: b and i are good friends but i think i bother him sometimes mars: 'cause he's pretty soft and i'm. . . not mars: you know? mars: it's hard to get a read on him, too mars: he wears things close to his chest mars: and i don't want to push when faking it until he makes it is how he copes
mars: and c and i are close but it's not like we swap sob stories or anything mars: we mostly just play around mars: . . . sometimes he listens to me when things are bad but mars: he calls that "being my boss"
Joker: at least C thinks you're worth the effort? Joker: apparently most my friends are
[guess how the post-Trial things went. lol.]
Joker: and that's why I only approach B when I need some chill down time Joker: he actually doesn't mind being a sympathetic ear but his tolerance for some of the shenanigans is just lower than ours are
[he is bristling a little bit cuz as much as he likes C DON'T BE MEAN TO JOKERRRRRRR]
mars: and yeah, you're right mars: lately though he has "become cool" mars: by which i mean he's basically the same person but he pretends to be tougher
mars: not my fault text doesn't convey the ~smoothness~ nearly as well mars: where are you? mars: if you're by the dorms we could meet outside and walk together mars: otherwise, just meet me at the diner
