Public Channel - Day 59

[He really didn't want this to happen, but...]

I think it's time we start keeping a list of those who's disappeared, been taken, or is otherwise indisposed.

I'll start.

Lauren has been buried in the ground, somewhere, and Steven Universe has been taken by the Rose Queen.

[He says all of this blankly, matter of factly, and there's only the sound of a shaky breath at the very end.]

Mnnhhh.... ...I, the man Gongenzaka, do not recall having red tears...

[Well, anyway. He still frowns. He's just like this Joker. Children, right?]

...It does not change the desire to do better, you should know. ...I, the man Gongenzaka, most assuredly see the truth in your words...

...But while it does not help what occurred, I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot allow myself to fail to seek improvement in myself, should such a thing happen again...

[pipers_son]

That's fine. People should always do that.

But ya have ta understand yer limits and what ya can't control, alright? [Letting go of Gongenzaka's face, Joker lightly thwacks his arm.] Or you'll always get lost thinkin' about how ya couldn't do somethin' impossible.

the Largest of Children...

[betheman]

[It is times like this where, in the face at least, his age actually shows. He's hardly pouting, but his eyes are wide, and with his actual blood glowing, a somewhat ashamed blush is peeking through the white fur. He refuses to duck his head, but it's pretty clear he's fighting off that urge to do so.] MNGH-!

A..Auh. ...Understood.

[OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY....]

Big Boy

[pipers_son]

[Okay, holy shit- Joker manages to crack something of a smile, although it's not one of his best.]

Alright, what's that about?

[And why couldn't it happen at a time when he could really enjoy it because it's hilarious.]

[betheman]

[He blushes when he's embarrassed is what. Sort of like how he would normally be crying literal buckets only while cheering someone on, or something-]

MN- What is what, about!?

[pipers_son]

[The hilarious one.]

[betheman]
