17th Joke - April Fools! Come on kid, laugh.

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[He'll be around his house, dwelling on that feeling from the highway earlier and the call they just got.

Just sticking to his home for now, not caring to go out and face the world yet. Hoping to avoid his drone sister too.

All that was a trick? They turned them all against each other for a joke!?

Cruel jokes should be familiar to Aaron though. At least the nightmares found this all hilarious.

With only an hour of sunlight left, he'll give Crowe a call. Making up his mind.

Another regain came in the mail, maybe this one would be it.]]



[[Phone call to Calleo Crowe | Hackable]]

I'm ready. Are you doing okay after all that?

...I'm fine. Just let me know what you need, I guess.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Just someone to be there... just in case.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll be over in a few.

[He will be knocking on your door in a few minutes.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[Let's Crowe in.]

Thanks for coming.

[He'll lead the way out through the kitchen door into the back yard. He's carrying an envelope with him.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

No problem. [He'll follow.] So, are you going to tell me about this, or do I have to be surprised?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Heading into the back yard, where he hides his journal. Pulling out the lunch pale.]]

I am tired of being useless. I'm tired of people having to die to protect me.

[[He opens it up and pulls out a smaller envelope, again in his name.]]

These are two things the town sent me. The big one is new, the small one is from after Valentine's day.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling...

I guess you were holding off on opening them. I don't blame you, the town can send people back some pretty bad things... is that why you didn't open them?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it's only sent me back bad things before. But, I have to try. There's something I am going to need.

[[Looking them over. He hand's Crowe the small one.]]

Just hold that one a second please.

I'll start with big, I am not sure how to even tell without opening it but maybe big is good.

[[Taking a breath. He's hesitating...]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe will take the envelope.]

If you're really sure about this...

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I'm tired of hiding.

[[With that, he opens up the first one. Pulling out a sheet of paper.]]

[[At first he laughs a bit.

There's no amusement there, only a very bitter laugh.]]

...What is it?

[doastheromansdo.livejournal.com]

_{( since he hasn't seen him in awhile, jason will be knocking on aaron's door at some point. )}

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Peeking out the peep hole.

It's Jason! Jason couldn't have been one of the ones who turned on everyone right? Aaron opens the door, looking relieved.]]

Hey.

[doastheromansdo.livejournal.com]

Hey. _{( He kind of lets out a breath. )} You're ok, right? I mean, you look ok.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah... kinda.

Did you make it okay... I mean when everyone turned on each other.

[doastheromansdo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was alright. I mean, I got out a lot better than most people.

What about you?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I... Yeah. I didn't do too well.

I wasn't able to learn anything or help anyone during this.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[Congrats, you have a little girl on your roof, knocking on your bedroom window.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He's standing around his room in his boxers.

Holy crap! There's Shana, creeping outside his window.

He is going to stand there a moment before grabbing pants to tug them on quick.]]

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Hi!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Hi... what... what are you doing out there?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Worrying about you, stupid.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

You could knock! What if I didn't have boxers on?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Then I guess I'd have seen you naked.
