...Guess so.

[He can't say for sure what 'the human way' would mean here, specifically - or, more to the point, what the alternative would entail. But he can guess from context that he'd probably find the 'human way' preferable.]

Doesn't mean we can't wish things had worked out differently this time, though.

[He doesn't even know all the details yet, but... if the Ringmaster got involved, he can't imagine the results are very good for Foster.]

[dorkypantsuit]

I know...

[Everything just felt gloomy and hopeless lately, and this incident hadn't helped. Of course Joker's weird behavior was weighing on him as well.]

[Really most everyone he knew was miserable because of one thing or another lately. It was getting harder to be cheerful for the newbies lately. Unfortunately as far as solutions went Psi didn't have many thoughts.]

I...

[He doesn't even say it to Ginko, his hand not holding the button on his radio firmly enough for the words to come through. It's something he normally wouldn't say to anyone, but he'd decided to give Ginko a kind of moirail test run as it were, and this was definitely the kind of thing he'd tell a moirail, if he had one anyway.]

I just wish there was something I could do to help.

[Oh god, of fucking COURSE it was video games. She groans. Then just for effect, she turns on her radio and groans AGAIN.]


uuuUGHHHhghhhhhgh. Yeah christ. Told her she was hiding or wasting her life or some other bullshit? God, okay when he starts trying to make other people follow his bullshit rules, then you gotta just step in, undo whatever he did, THEN sit him down and try and untangle his fuckin' backwards ass reasoning.

[dontpokethat]

...Nobody can help with everything. It's not your fault.

[That sure is a thing for Ginko of all people to be saying. But right now, it's all he can think of.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah, but that doesn't really make me feel any better.

[dontpokethat]

[...Well shit. Ginko winces a little.]

Sorry.

I don't know. At least it... it didn't end as badly as it could have.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Grim sentiments.]

Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong.

[dontpokethat]

Well, I... [He laughs. Sort of. It's... kind of like a laugh.] I know this might sound ridiculous, after what I just said, but-- I wish I could help you more. I don't... I don't know what else to say.

[dorkypantsuit]

[It's silent for a moment as that sinks in, and then he laughs. It's an actual real laugh.]

So me feeling bad about not being able to help made you feel bad about not being able to help me stop feeling bad for everyone else feeling bad?

[dontpokethat]

[--Oh, hey, he's... laughing? That's... that's actually a really nice change.]

I... yeah, I guess so. But when you put it that way, it sounds even more ridiculous than it already was.

[The smile in his voice is probably audible, even through the radio.]

[dorkypantsuit]

[That Ginko seems to sound less gloomy makes him smile even more.]

How could it sound more ridiculous.

[It was already the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard.]

Maybe I should apologize to you instead for making you feel bad about me feeling bad about other people feeling bad!

[dontpokethat]

[That noise he just made sure was the closest he's gotten to laughing in a while. Ginko presses his hand over his face, making his voice come out a bit muffled.]

Please don't do that, this is complicated enough already.

[dorkypantsuit]

If you're sure.

[Such a stupid conversation this had become. But at least they're both smiling.]

Thanks... For letting me know what happened.

[dontpokethat]

Ah... no problem. Would've told you earlier if I'd actually had a chance back when I felt like shouting, but... close enough.

Radio

[TIME POINT UNSPECIFIED, sometime into all this earthshaking bullshit, because generally the poisoned people didn't think to bring radios to the ball. But Papyrus is good at moving around quickly and agilely, gravity being kind of optional for him, and can recover it??? Handwavium.]

Hiiii boss, are you there? I'm here! And some things are happening. So I thought, I should check in!

[dorkypantsuit]

Papyrus!? Where are you????

[spaghettimonster]

I am--! Um. [Actually, where is he? He takes a minute to look around.] I am outside the manor. By a very fresh ravine. That's one of the things happening! The ground is breaking.

[dorkypantsuit]

The ground is-!?

I KNOW THAT! THAT'S WHY I WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE!!

[spaghettimonster]

Well, I happen to be near one of the building chunks. Taking a look around. Fear not, I'm keeping an eye on...! Wow, that's a big scorpion.

[dorkypantsuit]

Get out of there! It's not safe you moron!!

[spaghettimonster]

Awww, I appreciate your concern for my safety!

[Something snarls, and gnashes, and crashes nearby.]

Whoopsidaisy! One moment.

[A handmade card is taped to the door of the Psionic’s cabin. It’s covered in glitter and reads:

i’m still mad about the toilets thing >:( but u seem ok

'After everything that happened, you need a lot of rest right? So I made you something that you can wear between sleeps!! They're nice and soft, so enjoy them! Happy Solstice

- Carly'

[Psiionic's gift is a little more personal; they're big puffy bee slippers! Hand made! Instead of the usual black stripes, Carly managed to catch her magical fabric at red and blue hues-they're too far apart to be shifting from one to the other, but individually the stripes float around those two colours. Only one slipper has red stripes-the other has blue. These seem to have been stuffed with cotton....]

sometime during moon stuff who knows

[wild_magic]

[And on Psi's cabin doorstep, he'll find a wrapped box with a bottle of sunlight ambrosia inside, with a small note.]

Hi! I thought this drink looked cool, and I thought you might like drinking, so I got this for you as a present! It's magical, too, so I think that makes it better than normal alcohol. Anyway I hope you like it and I hope you like the snow and stuff!

[Safely held with in the skull of the maneki neko is a pouch of Fae weed. A joker playing card is attached to it, which says all it needs to.]
