// The Jester's ref

@MagnusTheRed01 Thanks! I made them!

@TheNotAJester They look cute

Hey Boon County, I got something very surprising to announce! ME AND MEUT HAVE KITTENS!!!! Their names are Cuddles and Bubbles!!! Ask me anything!!!

@lilturnsignal No response, only torment from me then, cya! [They teleport away]

@TheNotAJester [...] [No response.]

@lilturnsignal Wanna say that to my face? Wanna test your resolve! I don't bite anymore!

@lilturnsignal ... See you at some point, Little Turn Signal. Maybe I'll treat you for once, a visit from the kittens perhaps.

@TheNotAJester [A dozen insults flash in his mind. But again, he holds off. He's not going to give them any more satisfaction than they've already gotten.] [He barely even registers that last comment. And so what if they did? Like it would stop her.] [...] [He waits to make sure she's gone.]

@lilturnsignal Heh, rest up now Signal! You'll need it. [They walk away, but you could still hear him talk] ... Fuck, they're gonna kill me, aren't they.

@TheNotAJester [He hazily stares up at the Jester. A part of him wants to scream, or cry, or throw it all back in his face... but instead, he takes it. He chokes down the pill with water, then sets the cup back down. He doesn't bother looking back up at her. He's hopeless and exhausted.]

@lilturnsignal ... Eh, I got my fill, can't have you getting too desensitized! [They teleport away, coming back with cat pain medication and a cup of water] Here, take this, it'll help.

@TheNotAJester [...] [He trips over himself and collapses to the ground. His face stings, and his whole body feels burnt out. Maybe he'll just... lay on the floor for a while. The Jester's had their fun. He hopes. He prays.]

@lilturnsignal [As he walks away, Signal hears some light giggling as Jester toothy grin grows]

@TheNotAJester [He's silent for a while, unmoving. And then, without saying a word, he turns around and walks away slowly, almost stumbling over himself with each step.]

@lilturnsignal See Turn Signal, you will never escape me! I will be there until the very end! So, get used to it. Like you have any other choice.

@TheNotAJester [He feels ill. His lip quivers as his gaze slowly returns to the Jester, sickened, furious, horrified.]

@lilturnsignal [He takes a picture of it] My paw!!! [They show the photo of the paw print to Signal]

@TheNotAJester what- what?! what are you-?! [What is she looking at?! He puts his paw to the left side of his face, wincing at the touch. Yeah, that's definitely bruised. But she's not laughing at a simple bruise.] WHAT?! WHAT IS IT?!

@lilturnsignal What? You think I attacked you for no reason? [He moves the cloak out the way] HehehehhahaAHAHAHAHA!!! IT WORKED!!

@TheNotAJester if-... if what-...? [He blinks a few times, struggling to focus his gaze on her as he's barely able to keep his balance. What was she talking about?? Is there... something on his face?]

@lilturnsignal You asked for it, you do not get to complain! Now, let me check if that worked.

@TheNotAJester your- your what-?! [So much for not hurting anyone anymore. He honestly wasn't expecting it. But it was admittedly foolish to take the Jester at her word.] [The punch connects. He stumbles back, dizzied by the impact. That hurts so much more than it should.]

@lilturnsignal Sure! But before I do, let me leave my mark on you! [She goes for a punch on the left side of Signal's head, making sure that her paw print sticks on him]

@TheNotAJester i'll cry. and i'll scream. and it'll hurt. but i'll get back up. every single time. and that makes me stronger than you'll ever be. [He blows a raspberry at her.] i have real things to worry about. so hurt me, or go home.

@lilturnsignal Not until the day you die, Signal. Why do you think I keep coming back? You caught my interest! And you can't get rid of it!

@TheNotAJester ...are you done? [He speaks coldly, glaring up at them with a disgusted squint.]

@lilturnsignal Awful people exist Signal, not all of them can be dealt with, as an example: ME, CAN'T GET RID OF ME!!! I WILL BE HERE UNTIL YOU DIE!!! YOU WILL NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO GET RID OF ME SIGNAL!!! ... And look at you, becoming brave! You have such a shit mom, trying to suppress you!

@TheNotAJester [Leave it to the Jester to find every way under his skin. Tears roll down his face. Every cell in his body is screaming to cry and scream and fight and hurt, but...] [No. Instead, he shakily steps closer until he's right in front of her, staring up at him.]

@lilturnsignal WHY NOT HAVE FUN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE! OR ARE YOU A PATHETIC WIMP THAT'S DESTINED TO DIE! IT SHOULDN'T BE A HARD CHOICE!!

@lilturnsignal [The nails hit their leg, it flinches slightly] WHAT'S STOPPING YOU!!! YOU THINK YOU GOT SOME SORT OF MORAL HIGH GROUND, BUT YOU DEFEND CANNIBALS ALL THE TIME!! I HAVEN'T KILLED A SINGLE CAT!!

@lilturnsignal You didn't even give the king this kind of reaction! BUT I FINALLY GOT BEYOND THAT WEAKLING YOU CALL YOURSELF!! I FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE YOU IN ME!!!

@lilturnsignal [The nail hits him, he doesn't even flinch] HAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! YES, FINALLY! YOU SHOW SOME KIND OF BACKBONE!! THERE'S YOUR FUCKING ANGER!!! IT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! (Cont)

@lilturnsignal [They teleport behind Signal, from where he's standing, she's looks like she's towering over Signal] Well, here I am! Say the line kit!

@TheNotAJester sure.

@lilturnsignal Well, you don't always get what you wish for, kid. I'll always be a thorn on your side! And you'll never find out why~!

@TheNotAJester i don't get why you do this. i want you to leave me alone. i never want to see you again. and you won't stop coming back and making me miserable. and you say that we're the same. and i can't even fight you on that anymore. i just don't understand.

@lilturnsignal HAHAHAAHA! SINCE WHEN WAS IT AND EXCUSE!! IT'S NOT, FOR THE BOTH OF US!!! YOU JUST WANT AN EXCUSE TO NOT LIKE PEOPLE SIGNAL!!!!
