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
