Video game livestreaming.

So I was basically in the same room foooor...

[pause. uh.]

... how long?

[yeah he just stopped keeping track for his own sanity's sake. it's fine.]

[artisticliberty]

Oh...

[immediate sympathy and concern over the bond]

That must have been terribly boring.

[criminaljustice]

[shhhh he's fiiiine. and also leaning into Fox a bit]

Some of the games were fun. The live chats with audience? Not so much.

[artisticliberty]

[stops, wraps both arms around joker and pulls him into a tight hug]

I have changed my mind. Let us not go to the art museum. That can wait for another day. Instead, let us explore the park. The weather has been very pleasant lately, and the flowers are in bloom.

[criminaljustice]

[... oh. this is nice. and cozy and Joker's arms are going around Fox while he just kind of basks in body warmth and dokis.]

Yeah? About time. Winter's too long even here.

[artisticliberty]

We are still in spring, so you should still be able to view the cherry blossoms.

[kisses his cheek, and leans back, but only enough to take joker's hand and start heading out towards the park]

[criminaljustice]

[time for lacing fingers and following along contentedly]

Yeah, that does sound really nice.

[artisticliberty]

[they have arrived at the park!11 fox keeps glancing at joker's face and smiling. full of dokis]

... we should do this more often.

[criminaljustice]

[he would love to

unfortunately, there's the tiring feeling of knowing Shit Will Happen.]

Yeah... though I'll have to rely on you a little there. I've been hearing Bad End's having a time of things again.

[like... always...]

[artisticliberty]

I have heard there was a disagreement between us and Jay during a game, but to my knowledge, nothing has come of it since... which I hope continues, as I do not wish for there to be any more friction between our units.

[criminaljustice]

Yeah, and apparently Scythe got stabbed by mini-Haruto...

[artisticliberty]

It seems we have both missed a lot.

Is there anything I can do to help?

[criminaljustice]

This is something.

[gesturing to them just. walking through the park.]

[artisticliberty]

[smiles, and squeezes his hand]

Please know you can always come to me if you need anything.

[criminaljustice]

I do know...

[it's just hard sometimes? there's some guilt there because he knows he's been bad about it before, it's a big call-out people do with him and some axiety and neediness as he returns the handsqueeze]

Though I kinda left things off in a pretty rough state, huh.

[never did resolve that Shu issue but also whatever Shu]

[artisticliberty]

[pulling joker into his arms for a moment to hold him, kiss his cheek, entirely tender and comforting]

That is not your fault. Take your time to deal with the things you can, and if you feel you are getting overwhelmed, it is alright to stop.

[criminaljustice]

[things he is bad at: stopping.]

I'll try to keep that in mind.

[for now, very much satisfied with cuddles, nuzzles, and kisses.]

[artisticliberty]

[what if, more kisses for joker?]
