104 - A brought his A game, X brought his XXX game

[afailedmurder]

[now there is only the awkward game where A tries to figure out if he is supposed to return to his own bed or not but refuses to actually ask]

It truly is fortunate we won that game.

[liftoft]

Mm...

[ Hopefully A likes being cuddled, because X is definitely a cuddler ]

For sure--I'm actually really proud of all of us. It was definitely a group effort, and I think we really helped other people out!

[ buuuuut for once he's less interested in praising teamwork and hope and such, and nuzzles into A's hair instead ]

How about you, you happy?

[afailedmurder]

Mm.

[yes, good. A will absorb as much affection as humanly possible]

You all worked well together.

[liftoft]

[ makes a rumbly noise, half enjoyment-of-cuddles and half gentle-chiding]

You were there too, and you're AlcheME just as much as anybody else. It wasn't the same without you!

[afailedmurder]

R-right, of course...

[cuddling! good cuddling!]

[liftoft]

[ rrrrolls uo to pin A under him on the bed, ao he can be insistently in his face.]

I mean it! It's important that you're here! Least, to me...

[afailedmurder]

[A has no natural defense to this]

I know...

[...]

But even you must surely admit that I don't always fit in here.

idk when, sometime after Joker comes back on day 106

[afailedmurder]

[The next time A gets Joker alone, he will cling as if he expects one or both of them to disappear at any second]

[criminaljustice]

[sounds like it's hairpets time. sooothing hairpets]

[afailedmurder]

[lets out a sigh and a tiny bit of tension as well]

Those sadistic sons of bitches.

[criminaljustice]

Agreed. Talk shows are the worst kind of hell.

[afailedmurder]

That's not even good TV. The only thing worse than a producer is an incompetent producer.

sometime after 110 - and more importantly, around 2 am - A texts Maki

[afailedmurder]

A: Are you asleep?

[rollplayinghouse]

Maki: Not anymore.
Maki: What's up?

[afailedmurder]

A: Sorry
A: I'm having difficulty sleeping

[rollplayinghouse]

Maki: It's fine. I'm a light sleeper.
Maki: Tell me about it.

[afailedmurder]

A: It's not as though anything specific happened.
A: Sometimes I become lost in my own thoughts.

[rollplayinghouse]

Maki: Then tell me what you're thinking.
Maki: That's why you texted, right?

[afailedmurder]

A: I was thinking about how easy it is for them to spirit us away.
A: Objectively speaking, I should have been happy on that talk show. That kind of thing is my forte, and there were no games or memory broadcasts...
A: Yet all I could think about was coming back.

Day 117-ish, with Joker

[afailedmurder]

[hello boyfriend, A is here to cuddle and touch hair and face]

Have I ever told you that you're beautiful?

[...I mean he probably has but 9 times out of 10 it's gonna be phrased in the most backhanded ways possible]

[criminaljustice]

[the benefits of having a feline personality boyfriend: he is always going to be into cuddles and hair/face touching.]

Mm... I've definitely heard "exquisite" at least once.

[gonna play with A's hair himself in that attentively lazy way]

[afailedmurder]

[snort-laughs]

Did I really?

[he definitely did]

[criminaljustice]

Mmmmhm. I believe it was during the mistletoe game, even.

[a good time, then.]

[afailedmurder]

All those lips at the ready, and I still wanted yours more than anything.

[Smiles at first because ~romance~, but it fades a bit. For the most part he'd found that game lowkey stressful.]

[criminaljustice]

[well, gonna lean in for a quick kiss, then. that game was highkey stressful after the fact for him.]

Mmm... so that means you definitely had and have thoughts about smooching other people, right?
