WHAT IS IT WITH CLOWNS???

[khajidont]

That's your take away from this?

I mean yes there's a disproportionate amount of evil clowns but

seriously?

[you_tried]

not my ONLY takeaway

I'm just saying I don't think I've ever met a clown that wasn't off the charts creepy

so okay superpowered clown with a thing about kids. kids and murder. kids and murder and drawing hearts on your window.

I might start camping on your roof with a shotgun

[khajidont]

I was serious about not thinking he's going to try anything just yet you know. It's just creepy

Not that I don't appreciate the shotgun backup

[you_tried]

yeah see it's the "yet" that worries me

I'll always be your shotgun backup even if the shotgun is metaphorical

[khajidont]

No it's

He has this thing about wanting people to get stronger before wanting to mess them up. He's not going to want to come and kill me in my sleep. He's going to want to fight me and I guess he wants me to know that he knows where I live??

it's not like I can't just find out where HE lives too and leave him big creepy notes. Ugh this is why keeping literal murderers in jail for four months is ridiculous

[you_tried]

oh okay so it's one of those THINGS
those creepy murder-y fanboy things
gotcha. and may I add: gross.

[ Booster's never been popular enough to have his own Joker or whoever, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the game. ]

I want to fistfight his lawyer

ARE you gonna leave him creepy notes? all "I've got my eye on you, buddy"? go breathe on his window?

[khajidont]

Super gross. When we fought he tried to hold my hand

[And he's not even nearly as into Jaime as he is into Gon.]

Is it weird that it's kinda tempting? That's probably weird. I never used to have these problems

[you_tried]

that settles it
I'm gonna punch me a clown

and no that's not weird. or if it is weird I'm backing you up anyway.
wait
unless he's into that?
ugh I don't know

[khajidont]

I'm just gonna say it now: please don't engage the clown. Seriously he'll just start getting creepy at you too and nothing will actually get done. He's not so much fanboy as much as he is all into potential and crap.

Unless he's killing someone again. Then please punch the clown and call me so I can punch him too

I don't know? I feel like engaging him is a bad idea and maybe it's better if he doesn't know that I know where he is but I also want to show him up? like HAH you're not the only one who can detect your way to people's houses

[Jaime you don't detect shit all. You just ask Scarab to do it for you.]

[you_tried]

I'm a big boy and I can handle creepy
but fine
I GUESS I won't do anything to set him off

[ Also, does he actually have potential? Don't answer that. ]

do you think he'd get weird about it? MORE weird?
like take it as a compliment or something?
I don't know how this crap works, I'm not a clown whisperer

[khajidont]

He's also genuinely really strong. Not that you can't handle really strong but it wouldn't be a fun time

[...like it is for Jaime, apparently. Whatever, he's ridiculously overpowered, and they both know that.]

Dude I don't know. This is kinda new to me. I think I've only held onto his attention this long because he already knows I'm keeping an eye on him because... kids

Have you ever dealt with stuff like this?

[you_tried]

not quite. the stuff I get called in for is usually a little more
I dunno
straightforward?

[ There was Max, if they're discussing unpleasant superpowered standoffs, but that's a horse of an entirely different color. ]

I don't have the delicate touch

[khajidont]

That's never exactly been my specialty either

[Okay, so he's dealt in trickery before, but who gives a shit about accuracy he just wants to whine about it.]

[you_tried]

it's usually one and done, you know?

other people get sent in for the long haul diplomacy type stuff
or whatever the word for evil clown diplomacy is

[khajidont]

That sounds like the name of a rock band

[AND WE'VE HIT WAY OFF TOPIC]

I don't know if there's evil clown diplomacy so much as chill out and wait for him to mess up again so he gets arrested

Which makes me a non believer in redemption I guess but this is a pretty good exception to the rule

[you_tried]

well there's redemption and then there's psycho clowns
someone can stop robbing banks
but how often do you hear "I used to be a psycho clown but now I work at the local vegan co-op"
never, that's how often

what I'm saying is I'm with you

[khajidont]

I knew I could count on you to have my back

I don't know why it's clowns. For some reason they can dress up like literally everything else and do nice harmless crimes but the minute you put on that makeup you're screwed

[you_tried]

besides I don't think four months is enough to rehabilitate crazy
not that kind of crazy anyway

I'm still stuck on the "four months" thing
they're harsh on PLENTY of stuff
but apparently murder gets a slap on the wrist?

[khajidont]

Not that harsh actually. Going AWOL got me a slap on the wrist and they always talks like that's a big deal. Not that I'm complaining bc man I don't want to go to jail again

But for murder and stuff? It's ridiculous

[you_tried]

when were you in jail????????

[khajidont]

Oh right you weren't around for that. I'm pretty sure that it was the day you got ported out

and I wasted my phone call on you you jerk

[you_tried]

I WAS YOUR ONE PHONE CALL???????????????????

damn

I'm really sorry buddy

and I mean that on a lot of levels!

[khajidont]

You're abusing punctuation again. Also it was like my second month here who else was I going to call?

[No, Jaime, you don't know how to emote over text messages very well.]

[you_tried]

I don't know

I'm just not normally listed under emergency contacts

man I have bad timing
