[ haha yeah..... who knew.................... sweats ]

Mm. [ there's a contemplative, melancholic edge to the affirmative sound, chrono stretching his arms above his head. ] Y'know, maybe between the two of us, there could be a way to connect again. I've reached my hand out before and grabbed one I wasn't supposed to be able to, who says it couldn't be yours if I tried again?

[ hm ]

Or Jiaoqiu's, or Taair's. You get the idea.

Maybe. If it was the same world, that'd be one thing, but I don't know how it'd work with different versions of the same place.

Then again, Ms. Needle did say I might be able to jump right to people we care about, if I get strong enough...

Yeah. I know it's probably far-fetched, it's not like when it happened the first time I knew what was happening. Guess I'm just really tired of losing friends.

[ hm. glances at him, amused, but chooses not to say anything about laurence admitting he cares and just lets the smug, but incredibly pleased, emotional aura do the talking for him. ]

Guess I can relate to that.

[ the difference being that laurence losing friends is usually a direct result of his own actions. absolute idiot.

dsklfjadfg why are you!! like this!!!!! ignore the slight flush of embarrassment or else. nyeh. ]

Actually, nevermind, I think I'll just leave it.

[ HEH!!!!!!!!!! you can't escape he's a native in this language too!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

No takebacks, Laurence, I already heard you. You've still got frosting in your hair, if you need somethin' to mess with again.

Hey, Penny, I think you should hit this guy. And make it a good one.

[ penny don't betray him you're on his side right ]

[ penny is busy holding their mirror and turns away from both of them. she is not a tool to hit people with. hmph. ]

...Hey.

[ come oooonnnnn. she ignores him. ]

[ SMUG ]

What, you really gotta make her do it?

Ugh! You're both such a pain!

[ she will probably make him pay for this later ]

[ yeah that's what he thought. heh

but. man, he's happy. this is somehow the most relaxed he's felt for a while. maybe tsundere bickering really is the cure-all ]

Well, the idea's there, even if you're secretly talking about somethin' else. You can work towards it.

I think you're full of it.

[ secretly talking about WHAT. the good thing about emotionshare though is the positive feelings are kind of bleeding into laurence, too, so he can't really stick to his guns here. he exhales and much of the tension from their time in the maze starts to fade. ]

Yeah, whatever. [ ... ] I guess it was nice to actually be able to use my powers, anyway.

Uh-huh, sure.

[ heh x2 ]

See, there you go. [ hmm. ] The train sleepy thing is going to hit pretty hard, after all that. If we don't wake up on time we'll merge with the seats.

[ stop being smug at him!!!! ]

...Gross. Penny doesn't sleep, though, so if she's done being a brat, maybe she'll wake us up.

[ she'll stir a little at this instead of just ignoring him outright so maybe that's a yes? ]

[ no 🥰 (those are my, aayas, hearts)

he tugs uselessly at his hair again. it's pretty well and truly set by this point. ]

I hope so, 'cause this is gonna take forever. Don't wanna be in the showers 'til 3am.

It can't seriously take that long.

[ short hair wins again ]

It's not like I've ever had magical cake frosting stuck in it before! I've got no clue. Probably a long-ass time, though.

[ now it's his turn to be amused. suffer. ]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole place. Candy rabbits. What the hell.

[ rude. like that's fair but rude ]

It's just kind of off-putting, right. An' it makes my teeth hurt just lookin' at everything.

Heaven gets weirder every week, I swear.

[ he's not gonna say it but there's a little bit of dread as he thinks about how bad it might be later this week if someone gets killed out there............. ]

Really makes you wonder how crazy the next place is going to be.

[ oh it doesn't take a lot to guess what that dread's about. so many awful ways to go. ]

It feels like they're supposed to accommodate really specific groups of people. Well, maybe not the beach, but definitely the last couple.

[ we don't have to acknowledge that! ]

It does kind of feel that way. [ ... ] Someone's going to try to eat the new place.
