The Joker is quiet for a while.

Then he says, a little dreamily: [Whatcha up to, sweetie?]

[temporal_affairs]

[Watching movies with Fractal. Nothing particularly interesting. How come?]

[manofmyword]

[No reason,] he says. [I was feeling all cuddly, so I thought of you.]

[temporal_affairs]

[Awww. Love you, babe.]

[manofmyword]

[Love you too, sweetheart.]

[temporal_affairs]

[Do I wanna know what got you all snuggly-minded, or would it give me nightmares?] asks Timer rhetorically.

(He's not particularly subject to nightmares.)

[manofmyword]

[I dunno, do you get nightmares?]

[temporal_affairs]

[Nah, and if I did, they'd probably be about something I did, not something that made you snuggly.]

[manofmyword]

[What would you get nightmares about?] he laughs, distracted from the original question.

[temporal_affairs]

[Eh, probably eating those kids right after I turned that were probably mine.]

[manofmyword]

[Awwwwwwww, honey,] he says sympathetically.

[temporal_affairs]

[But in fact I do not get nightmares, so whatcha up to now?]

[manofmyword]

[Chainsaw's trying to cut me in half,] he says cheerfully. [He's not getting anywhere. You should see the look on his face, it's hilarious.]

[temporal_affairs]

[I'll use my imagination. Did you explain to him what's going on?]

[manofmyword]

[Kinda sorta.]

[temporal_affairs]

[Did you just tell him you were alive and hard to kill, babe?]

[manofmyword]

[Pretty much.]

[temporal_affairs]

Timer sighs through the brainphone.

[manofmyword]

[Whaaaaaaaaat?]

[temporal_affairs]

[You are very much yourself and you're exasperating and I love you.]

[manofmyword]

[Love you too, sweetie pie.]

[temporal_affairs]

[You be as careful as it is in you to be.]

[manofmyword]

[Deal,] he says affectionately. And then giggles, abruptly, like someone just started tickling him.

[temporal_affairs]

[Lemme guess, you've been introduced to new friends, possibly serrated?]

[manofmyword]

[Got it in one!] he whoops.
