[ so eventually after they've probably stopped yelling at each other, maybe?? Jack will at least agree to go to whichever of their rooms Clover prefers, since he's not always a total dick. Just, you know. Usually. But he still has words, since he's not exactly any happier about this than Clover is. ]

Okay, so— Think we can both agree this is crap. So let's just get it out of the way, and you and me, kiddo? We can pretend this never, ever happened.

[ Because, seriously, this is weird for him. Being handcuffed to someone even under normal circumstances is pretty strange, but there are times where his age difference feels especially marked, and this is one of them. However, that's also awkward, so he's not going to bring it up.

Basically, this sucks, fuck you Alice. ]

[congrats on earning those sweet "not as much of a jerk as you could have been" points, Jack; Clover's decided on her room pretty much entirely because she hasn't used it at all since she got here? she has been sleeping over with her brother from day one and this is terrible. this is terible?? how is she supposed to have Field sibling slumber parties all the time like this???? point being there is basically nothing in her room which makes it something vaguely resembling neutral territory but also: she's too clingy for this to be happening why is this happening

she's also spending this entire conversation aggressively fidgeting with the handcuff because she hates the feeling of having it on her wrist, the last time things were locked on her wrist they either had bomb detonators in them or were full of poison and she's suffering
]

Okay, first of all, quit calling me "kiddo," my name's Clover. [HARRUMPH!!!] But yeah, agreed, once this is done we're never speaking of it again.

[The system is probably cheatable, Clover's pretty easily appeased, and apparently cutting out the nickname nonsense is enough for now because she's mildly less vicious about her handcuff-fidgeting as Jack goes on—and then actually pauses in the middle of all that babbling, tilting her head.]

Uh. Yeah, okay. No problem. [Aaand she's right back to tugging at the cuff some more. This is just gonna be happening the entire rest of the week, apparently.] Another thing we're gonna pretend never happened, got it. [The good news is that Clover can keep a secret at least nine times out of ten and there's no reason to make this the one, this doesn't have to be a Thing.] So that's happening and we don't talk about it, any other ground rules we need to get out of the way?

socloverit: (ain't no order in this courtroom)
From: [personal profile] socloverit
Yeah, no problem—is that what his deal is? I've been wondering what the deal is from, like, day one. [Okay, no, forget the mask nonsense and everything else, these are the juicy details that actually matter to her, she and Light have been gossiping about this for weeks and she needs to know who won the bet.] Wait, how worried do I have to be about the obsessive stalker thing? I'm definitely not ready to get, like, jealousy-stabbed over this. [She waves their handcuffed hands around for emphasis. Casually talking about stabbing is totally a reasonable thing to do in a murdergame environment.]

From: [personal profile] socloverit
[oh good god she was mostly joking; that is like the opposite of comforting?? Clover just looks increasingly uncomfortable as this pause continues???? someone please save Clover, "probably" is not especially reassuring, the discomfort hasn't gone away, and she's just anxiously tugging at a curl of her hair with her free hand the entire time.]

Um. [in summation: five percent chance of attempted stabbings, the potential promise of the buddy system serving its purpose, the chillest a person could possibly be about having obsessive stalkers that somehow get worse than Rhys, and she probably lost the bet] Thanks?

[She'll believe it when she emerges on Friday un-stabbed.]

I'mmmm proooobably staying kinda armed anyway. Just in case. What if we just, like, didn't deal with or look at or interact with him at all all week. [that's not how stalkers work]

socloverit: (do that dance smokin' in the girl's room)
From: [personal profile] socloverit
[why do they sound like their dating? the more Jack talks the more Clover realizes that nobody really won the bet, either, this isn't a situation that has any winners at all. But she's nodding along with the switch idea even if Jack should probably be way more concerned about the prospect of being handcuffed to his stalker??? Yikes.]

Oh, uh, the injection gun. [The one on her profile card that's listed as being full of poison. Y'know, great self-defense choices.] It's in the other room sooo we'll have to go get that... [because weapons live in Light's room with most of the rest of her things] We're gonna count that as "my stuff" and make "don't touch my stuff" a ground rule while we're at it.

From: [personal profile] socloverit
Uh.

[that's not an answer, Clover]

I mean, just having it should be enough to keep him or anyone from coming close enough to get injected anyway... Like, that's really all I want it for.

[still...not an answer......]

[LOOKING AWAY............]

Yyyyyyyyyeah.

[why does she even have that]

But, like, it'd be way stupid for me to try killing someone with it, it's seriously just there to be scary, and anyway if you're looking out for that five percent and anyone else ignoring the buddy system then it totally doesn't even matter.

[anything resembling approval is not the reaction she expects her poison gun to get and enough people are super suspicious of it already. she's trying so hard to make this not a thing like you can just casually brush aside a gun full of deadly poison]

socloverit: (if the world says it's time to go)
From: [personal profile] socloverit
[There's a tiny victorious smirk when he backtracks from the nickname nonsense that fades fast when she realizes she has gotten way more involved in this weapons thing than she meant to. The injection gun isn't even hers, she just kinda found it, why can't there be something in between "get rid of the horrifying poison gun forever" and "that's rad as hell and I want to know how it's made because there's totally a market for it," she doesn't ask for a lot.

She squints at the gun and pulls a face at the prospect of liquefied organs, because gross. Not that tubocurarine is an especially fun way to go or she has any place to judge because of it but still.
]

Um. I'm glad this is weapons-judgement-free-zone and all, but that probably counts as touching my stuff, and I'm still making not doing that a rule.

socloverit: (the hitmen always find you)
From: [personal profile] socloverit
[Definitely don't sound so disappointed?? She's already trying to figure out where the best places to keep the poison gun hidden are should she make the mistake of deciding to have it anywhere that isn't directly on her person.

She's tugging her hand back when he tries to cross his arms this time, though.
] Stop that. [This is gonna just be constant for the next few days, huh.]

Oh, anyway, before I forget, I usually get dinner with my brother, so I guess that's just a party now [not even waiting for an answer to that she's just decided it's happening apparently] but Rhys definitely isn't invited, like, no matter how whiny he gets. By the way, I hope you're not an early bird because I am soooo far from a morning person. Actually, we're both gonna be way happier if no conversations happen until I have coffee. And, um... I feel like I'm forgetting something. It'll come to me.

[she's such a diva. it's going to be a rough few days]
