[... maybe.]

Do you?

[foolmetwice]

[no hesitation]

Yes.

[there's no buddy bond but that's about as sincere as Mars can get without it]

[criminaljustice]

[well.]

... if that was the request, then you should know you don't have to ask it.

[huffs a bit]

[foolmetwice]

[sssstops, not turning to face Joker as he stares into the distance, puffing idly on his cigarette]

[. . .]

Yeah. I know.

[. . .]

I--

[ppppauses as he tries to find his words]

[criminaljustice]

[it's okay, he can wait.]

[foolmetwice]

[WORDS ARE HARD!!!]

. . .

Heart can't really be counted on to protect. . . anyone.

[he says slowly, purposefully]

We have too many connections, I guess. Too many important people on too many different units. And some other people on Heart want to start playing harder, to protect ourselves as well. If we do that, then at some point in the future, we're going to have to target the units we care about.

[his words are quiet, but very much discontented]

. . . so I'm glad LiliS can at least count on you guys, I guess. Maybe it's not really a request after all, but-- [. . .]

Thanks.

[criminaljustice]

[... red gloved hand going on Mars' head.







and ruffling his hair A LOT.]

You're soooo sappy. Such sap.

[gentle teasing.]

But you should thank Lily. I think he was the one who put Bad End's name into the pot in the first place.

[foolmetwice]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH]

[foolmetwice]

[SWATS AT THAT HAND]

Fuck off.

[don't tease him his heart can't take it!1 puffs on his cigarette again]

. . . and yeah. Sure. I'll do that, too.

[criminaljustice]

[what tease. this is all genuine??

but he's just pulling back with a laugh.]

Okay, good. Make sure credit is given where credit's due.

[foolmetwice]

[hmphs a little!! and takes another puff of his cigarette before finally dropping it onto the ground and stomping it out. that's littering]

Politics are stupid.

Anyway. . . where do you wanna do this? The park?

[criminaljustice]

Either that or the gym. I'm not that picky, really.

[foolmetwice]

Park has more space.

[lifts his arms above his head in a stretch, hands linked]

You got a weapon?

[criminaljustice]

[you know what's useful for hiding BIG KNIVES?

half-skirts.]

[foolmetwice]

[you know an even better place to hide weapons?]

[A PERSON'S SOUL]

[a flash of light, and Mars is holding his heart weapon, which is basically a sword, really]

Mine's bigger.

[is this a dick-waving contest]

[criminaljustice]

You're also using part of yourself as a weapon while I'm stuck with buying shit.

[sticks his tongue out at Mars because WHATEVER MAN]

[foolmetwice]

Sounds like you're just jealous Heart gets free weapons.

[props his sword on his shoulder as they walk, puffed up like a rooster showing off his plumage]

[criminaljustice]

[ur so ridiculous]

Nah. Bad End's got Dizzy and Super Strength. Not to mention the emotions amping.

[their skillset's pretty fun, actually.]

[foolmetwice]

Yeah? Well, we have emotional bonding and stat increases when people cheer us on and charm status effects and cool armor and also, we can literally be zombies.

[HEART'S IS COOLER!1]

[criminaljustice]

... Mars, that last one's bad.

[foolmetwice]

[look]

Depends on how you look at it, I guess.

[says the guy who hasn't yet purchased it]

[criminaljustice]

Should I start arguing the benefits to the memory falsification ability?

[bruh...]

[foolmetwice]

[LOOK!!]

Untwist your panties, I don't even have that power because of how easy it is to abuse. I'm just saying. . . !

[at least he can't properly defend it cuz he too thinks it's bad]

[criminaljustice]

[And you like to say you're the evil twin. knows all about how bad abilities are easy to abuse and still got it. so... yeah, he's got nothing.]

Anyway, are we going weapons-only or are abilities on the table?

[foolmetwice]

[he got charm!! which he has DEMONSTRABLY abused. heroes never die can be used by someone else to torture him; that's why he avoids it. self-preservation]

Technically my weapon is an ability, so— yes to abilities.

[ppppauses]

No charm or memory fuckery, though.
