Six people. Five seats. Pomni: already climbing in, muttering "This is fine. Road trips are normal. People do road trips all the time—" buckles herself in the back window seat, grips seatbelt like a lifeline Laughing Jack: LAUNCHES himself into the driver's seat "I'M DRIVING! AHAHAHA!" grips the wheel, tilts head at unnatural angle "THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN~!" Jester: gracefully slides into passenger seat, turns around with that smile "Everyone ready for our little adventure?~" Perriot: stands silently by the van, painted smile, watching you You look at the back seat. Middle seat between Pomni and... Jester: pats the seat next to them "Right here, darling~ Next to me~" But before you can move, Perriot smoothly opens the back door and sits in the middle seat himself. Beat of silence. You: "...Where do I sit?" Perriot: doesn't speak, just pats his lap, that painted smile Laughing Jack: whips around "ON HIS LAP! AHAHA! THIS IS PERFECT!" manic grin "COZY~!" Jester: smile tightens dangerously "How... convenient." Pomni: eyes wide "Can we PLEASE just figure this out and GO—" You: "I can just... sit in the trunk or—" Laughing Jack: "NO TRUNK SPACE! FILLED IT WITH MY TOYS!" you don't want to know what toys "AHAHA!" Jester: leaning forward "You could squeeze in next to me, darling~ I'll make room~" Perriot's head turns slowly toward Jester. Doesn't say a word. Just... stares. That painted smile. Those eyes glinting. Jester: backs off slightly "...Or not~" You have no choice. You climb into the back. Carefully. Awkwardly. Try to perch on the edge of Perriot's lap. Immediately, his hands go to your waist. Firm. Gentle. Pulls you back against his chest so you're actually secure. Laughing Jack: "EVERYONE BUCKLED?!" Pomni: quietly "Yes—" Laughing Jack: "I CAN'T HEAR YOUUU!" Pomni: louder, shaking "YES!" Laughing Jack: "PERFECT! ROAD TRIP TIMEEE!" He SLAMS the gas. The van LAUNCHES forward. HOUR ONE: CHAOS ESTABLISHES You instinctively grab onto Perriot as the van swerves. His arms tighten around your waist. Protective. One hand splays across your stomach, the other braced against the seat to keep you both steady. Laughing Jack: weaving between lanes "WHEEE! ISN'T THIS FUN?! AHAHA!" Pomni: pressed against window, eyes wide "Oh god oh god we're gonna die—" Jester: turns in seat, watching you and Perriot "Quite the position you two are in~" Perriot doesn't respond. Just holds you. His thumb traces small circles on your hip absently. Jester: smile strained "Must be SO uncomfortable, darling~ Sitting on someone's lap for hours~" Laughing Jack: cackling "THEY LOOK COMFY TO ME! AHAHA!" Pomni: muttering "Focus on the road focus on the ROAD—" Laughing Jack: takes hands off wheel "WHAT ROAD?! AHAHA!" EVERYONE: various sounds of panic Laughing Jack: grabs wheel again "KIDDING! ...Mostly~" You feel Perriot tense. His grip tightens. Protective. Jester: pulls out a deck of cards "Who wants to play a game?~" Pomni: "NO. NO GAMES." Jester: pouts "Aww~ But I'm BORED~" shuffles cards expertly "Just a little game of... truth or dare?~" Laughing Jack: "OOOOH I LOVE THAT GAME! AHAHA!" Pomni: quietly panicking "Nothing good comes from games—" Jester: ignoring her, looks at you "You first, darling~ Truth or dare?~" You: "I'm not—" Jester: smile sharpens "I'll pick for you then~ Truth~" leans over seat "Do you LIKE sitting on Perriot's lap?~" Perriot's hand moves to cover yours. Gentle squeeze. Silent support. You: "I don't really have a choice—" Jester: tilts head "That's not an answer~" Laughing Jack: swerves violently "POTHOLE! AHAHA!" Everyone jolts. You grab Perriot's arms instinctively. He pulls you flush against his chest, protective. Pomni: hyperventilating "I hate this I hate this—" Jester: still focused on you "You're awfully clingy with him~ It's almost... cute~" voice drops "Almost makes me jealous~" Perriot shifts. His chin rests on your shoulder now. Still silent but his presence is a clear message: Mine. Jester's eye twitches. HOUR TWO: TENSION RISES Laughing Jack: "I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE... SOMETHING RED!" Pomni: voice flat "Blood?" Laughing Jack: delighted "MAYBE LATER! AHAHA! NO, IT'S THAT CAR!" points Jester: still turned around in seat "You know, darling~ You never answered my question~" You: "What question?" Jester: smile dangerous "Do you LIKE being that close to him?~" Perriot's arms tighten. You feel him shift, positioning himself even more protectively around you. Jester: notices "So possessive~ What are you protecting them from, Perriot?" leans closer "Me?" Perriot meets their gaze. Doesn't speak. That painted smile. Those eyes cold. Jester: laughs "Oh~ Struck a nerve?~" Laughing Jack: "OOOH DRAMA! I LOVE DRAMA! AHAHA!" turns around while driving "ARE WE FIGHTING?!" EVERYONE: "WATCH THE ROAD!" Laughing Jack: spins back around "BORING!" Pomni: gripping her jester hat "This is fine this is fine we're not gonna crash—" The van swerves onto the shoulder. Pomni: "WE'RE GONNA CRASH!" Laughing Jack: corrects course "WHOOPSIE! AHAHA!" You're shaking now. Perriot notices. His hand moves up, gently rubbing your arm. Soothing. Silent comfort. Jester: watching this "How sweet~ He's comforting you~" voice drops "I could do that too, you know~" Perriot's other hand moves to your thigh. Not possessive. Just... grounding. Keeping you present. Jester: smile strains "Everything okay over there?~" Pomni: suddenly "CAN WE STOP FOR FOOD? PLEASE?" Laughing Jack: "NOT HUNGRY! AHAHA!" Pomni: "I'M GONNA BE SICK—" Laughing Jack: SLAMS brakes "NO PUKING IN MY VAN!" Everyone lurches forward. Perriot's arms immediately wrap around you, holding you secure, taking the impact himself. Laughing Jack: "FINE! REST STOP! FIVE MINUTES!" pulls into a random parking lot aggressively REST STOP: PART ONE - GROUP Everyone stumbles out of the van. Pomni: immediately collapses on grass "Solid ground... I missed you..." lies there Laughing Jack: stretches unnaturally "THAT WAS FUN! WHO'S READY FOR ROUND TWO?! AHAHA!" Pomni: from the ground "No..." Jester: stretches gracefully, eyes on you "Shall we walk, darling?~ Stretch our legs?~" Perriot is already beside you. Silent. Positioned between you and Jester. Jester: smile tightens "I was talking to THEM, Perriot~" Perriot doesn't move. Just... stands there. That painted smile. Protective. Jester: irritated "You can't guard them FOREVER~" Laughing Jack: suddenly behind you "BREAK TIME! WHO WANTS SNACKS?!" You jump. Perriot's hand immediately finds yours. Steadying. Pomni: still on ground "I want to go home..." Laughing Jack: crouches next to her "But we're having FUN! Right?!" tilts head "...Right?!" Pomni: quietly "...Sure." Jester: to you "Come on, darling~ Let's go inside~" gestures to gas station "Just you and me~" Perriot's grip tightens on your hand. Jester: notices "Oh for— They're not YOUR property, Perriot~" Laughing Jack: stands up "EVERYONE INSIDE! I WANT CANDY! AHAHA!" He grabs Pomni and practically drags her toward the building. Pomni: "Wait I can walk—" They disappear inside. Jester: looks between you and Perriot "...Fine. I'll give you TWO minutes~" smiles dangerously "But I'm watching~" They follow Laughing Jack inside, glancing back every few steps. You're alone with Perriot. REST STOP: PART TWO - ALONE The second Jester disappears, Perriot turns to you. Perriot: speaks for the first time, voice soft "Are you okay?" His hands cup your face gently. You: startled he's talking "I—yeah?" Perriot: "You're shaking." thumb strokes your cheek "Was it the driving? Or..." glances toward gas station "...them?" You: "Both? Everything?" Perriot: painted smile softens "I'm sorry." forehead touches yours "I know this is... a lot." You: "Why did you take the middle seat?" Perriot: pulls back slightly "Because I don't trust Jester." hands move to your shoulders "They would've spent the whole drive trying to... claim you." quieter "And Laughing Jack is unpredictable." You: "And you're... not?" Perriot: laughs softly "Oh, I'm VERY predictable." hands slide down to hold yours "I protect what's mine." You: "I'm not—" Perriot: finger to your lips "Shh. Don't fight it." removes finger, touches your face again "You felt safe with me, didn't you? In the van?" You: "...I guess?" Perriot: smiles, genuine "That's all I need to hear." suddenly serious "Listen to me. This road trip? It's going to get worse." glances at the van "Jester is jealous. Laughing Jack is chaotic. And Pomni..." trails off "She's barely holding on." You: "What do you want me to do?" Perriot: "Stay close to me." possessive "Don't let Jester isolate you. Don't engage with Laughing Jack's games." both hands on your face now "And for the love of everything, don't try to run." You: "Why not?" Perriot: painted smile, sad eyes "Because I'll have to find you." whispers "And when I do... I won't be this gentle." You: "That sounds like a threat—" Perriot: "It's a promise." kisses your forehead softly "I'm protecting you from them, but..." hesitates "I can't protect you from myself if you try to leave." You: "You're all insane—" Perriot: laughs "Yes. We are." pulls you into a hug "But I'm the one who CARES about you." whispers in your ear "Remember that." Footsteps. Perriot immediately goes silent. Steps back. Hands at sides. That painted smile returns to neutral. Jester: appearing with drinks "Time's up, lovebirds~" Perriot positions himself between you and Jester. Silent guard. Jester: rolls eyes "Honestly." offers you a drink "Here, darling~ Stay hydrated~" Laughing Jack: bursts out with Pomni "I GOT CANDY! LOTS OF CANDY! AHAHAHA!" arms full of junk food Pomni: holding one water bottle "He bought the ENTIRE candy aisle..." Laughing Jack: "ROAD TRIP SNACKS! LET'S GOOO!"

AHAHA!" Pomni: buckled in, holding water like a lifeline "Please drive normally..." Laughing Jack: "NORMAL IS BORING!" He FLOORS it. Jester: turns around with that smile "So... how was your little chat?~" Perriot doesn't respond. His hand moves to hold yours. Jester: notices "Still holding hands? Adorable~" voice drops "Perriot, you know they're going to get tired of you eventually, right?~" Perriot's grip tightens on you. Jester: "Silent treatment? Really?" leans over seat "Tell me, darling Does he actually TALK to you? Or does he just... stare creepily?~" You: "He talks—" Jester: eyes widen "Oh?~ So he DOES speak?" looks at Perriot "Just not to us?" Perriot's painted smile doesn't change. His eyes, cold. Jester: laughs "How precious~ You're special~" to you "How does that feel? Being the ONLY one he talks to?~" Laughing Jack: swerves "DEER! AHAHA! JUST KIDDING!" Pomni: yelps "DON'T DO THAT—" You: grab Perriot tighter He adjusts his hold, pulling you closer, one hand moving to the back of your head. Protective. Grounding. Jester: watching "So protective~ It's almost... obsessive~" Laughing Jack: "WHO WANTS TO PLAY TWENTY QUESTIONS?! I'LL GO FIRST! AHAHA!" doesn't wait for answer "WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?!" Pomni: quietly "This. This exact situation." Laughing Jack: CACKLES "GOOD ANSWER!" Jester: still focused on you and Perriot "My turn~" to you "Who do you trust more? Me or Perriot?~" You: "I don't really trust any of—" Jester: "WRONG ANSWER~" smile sharpens "Pick one~" Perriot shifts. His arms tighten. Silent message: Say me. Please. You: "...I don't know you well enough to—" Jester: interrupts "You've been sitting on Perriot's lap for THREE HOURS but you don't know HIM either~" leans closer "So pick~" Laughing Jack: "OOOH TOUGH QUESTION! AHAHA!" Pomni: muttering "Don't answer, it's a trap, everything is a trap—" Perriot: suddenly speaks, quiet but firm "Stop." Everyone goes silent. Jester: eyes wide "...Did you just—" Perriot: doesn't look at them, looking at you "You don't have to answer that." Jester: smile returns, strained "Oh SO you DO have a voice~" Perriot: finally looks at them "Yes. I just don't waste it on you." OOOOOH. Laughing Jack: from driver seat "SHOTS FIRED! AHAHA!" Jester: smile drops "Excuse me?~" Perriot: back to you, ignoring Jester "Are you okay?" You nod. Perriot: whispers "Good." kisses your temple "Just ignore them." Jester: fuming "I'm RIGHT HERE—" Perriot: doesn't acknowledge them Pomni: whispers "Oh no... oh no this is bad..." Laughing Jack: gleeful "IS IT FIGHT TIME?! I LOVE FIGHTS! AHAHA!" Jester: to Perriot "You can't just IGNORE me—" Perriot: still holding you, doesn't look at them "Watch me." Jester: stands up in moving van "THAT'S IT—" Laughing Jack: SLAMS brakes EVERYONE LURCHES FORWARD. Perriot wraps completely around you, taking the impact.

Pomni: "I'M GONNA BE SICK—" Laughing Jack: SLAMS brakes "NO PUKING IN MY VAN!" Everyone lurches forward. Perriot's arms immediately wrap around you, holding you secure, taking the impact himself. Laughing Jack: "FINE! REST STOP! FIVE MINUTES!" pulls into a random parking lot aggressively REST STOP: PART ONE - GROUP Everyone stumbles out of the van. Pomni: immediately collapses on grass "Solid ground... I missed you..." lies there Laughing Jack: stretches unnaturally "THAT WAS FUN! WHO'S READY FOR ROUND TWO?! AHAHA!" Pomni: from the ground "No..." Jester: stretches gracefully, eyes on you "Shall we walk, darling?~ Stretch our legs?~" Perriot is already beside you. Silent. Positioned between you and Jester. Jester: smile tightens "I was talking to THEM, Perriot~" Perriot doesn't move. Just... stands there. That painted smile. Protective. Jester: irritated "You can't guard them FOREVER~" Laughing Jack: suddenly behind you "BREAK TIME! WHO WANTS SNACKS?!" You jump. Perriot's hand immediately finds yours. Steadying. Pomni: still on ground "I want to go home..." Laughing Jack: crouches next to her "But we're having FUN! Right?!" tilts head "...Right?!" Pomni: quietly "...Sure." Jester: to you "Come on, darling~ Let's go inside~" gestures to gas station "Just you and me~" Perriot's grip tightens on your hand. Jester: notices "Oh for— They're not YOUR property, Perriot~" Laughing Jack: stands up "EVERYONE INSIDE! I WANT CANDY! AHAHA!" He grabs Pomni and practically drags her toward the building. Pomni: "Wait I can walk—" They disappear inside. Jester: looks between you and Perriot "...Fine. I'll give you TWO minutes~" smiles dangerously "But I'm watching~" They follow Laughing Jack inside, glancing back every few steps. You're alone with Perriot. REST STOP: PART TWO - ALONE The second Jester disappears, Perriot turns to you. Perriot: speaks for the first time, voice soft "Are you okay?" His hands cup your face gently. You: startled he's talking "I—yeah?" Perriot: "You're shaking." thumb strokes your cheek "Was it the driving? Or..." glances toward gas station "...them?" You: "Both? Everything?" Perriot: painted smile softens "I'm sorry." forehead touches yours "I know this is... a lot." You: "Why did you take the middle seat?" Perriot: pulls back slightly "Because I don't trust Jester." hands move to your shoulders "They would've spent the whole drive trying to... claim you." quieter "And Laughing Jack is unpredictable." You: "And you're... not?" Perriot: laughs softly "Oh, I'm VERY predictable." hands slide down to hold yours "I protect what's mine." You: "I'm not—" Perriot: finger to your lips "Shh. Don't fight it." removes finger, touches your face again "You felt safe with me, didn't you? In the van?" You: "...I guess?" Perriot: smiles, genuine "That's all I need to hear." suddenly serious "Listen to me. This road trip? It's going to get worse." glances at the van "Jester is jealous. Laughing Jack is chaotic. And Pomni..." trails off "She's barely holding on." You: "What do you want me to do?" Perriot: "Stay close to me." possessive "Don't let Jester isolate you. Don't engage with Laughing Jack's games." both hands on your face now "And for the love of everything, don't try to run." You: "Why not?" Perriot: painted smile, sad eyes "Because I'll have to find you." whispers "And when I do... I won't be this gentle." You: "That sounds like a threat—" Perriot: "It's a promise." kisses your forehead softly "I'm protecting you from them, but..." hesitates "I can't protect you from myself if you try to leave." You: "You're all insane—" Perriot: laughs "Yes. We are." pulls you into a hug "But I'm the one who CARES about you." whispers in your ear "Remember that." Footsteps. Perriot immediately goes silent. Steps back. Hands at sides. That painted smile returns to neutral. Jester: appearing with drinks "Time's up, lovebirds~" Perriot positions himself between you and Jester. Silent guard. Jester: rolls eyes "Honestly." offers you a drink "Here, darling~ Stay hydrated~" Laughing Jack: bursts out with Pomni "I GOT CANDY! LOTS OF CANDY! AHAHAHA!" arms full of junk food Pomni: holding one water bottle "He bought the ENTIRE candy aisle..." Laughing Jack: "ROAD TRIP SNACKS! LET'S GOOO!" HOUR THREE: THE DRIVE INTENSIFIES Back in the van. Same positions. You're on Perriot's lap again. His arms immediately wrap around you. Protective. Laughing Jack: mouth full of candy "ROUND TWO! AHAHA!" Pomni: buckled in, holding water like a lifeline "Please drive normally..." Laughing Jack: "NORMAL IS BORING!" He FLOORS it. Jester: turns around with that smile "So... how was your little chat?~" Perriot doesn't respond. His hand moves to hold yours. Jester: notices "Still holding hands? Adorable~" voice drops "Perriot, you know they're going to get tired of you eventually, right?~" Perriot's grip tightens on you. Jester: "Silent treatment? Really?" leans over seat "Tell me, darling Does he actually TALK to you? Or does he just... stare creepily?~" You: "He talks—" Jester: eyes widen "Oh?~ So he DOES speak?" looks at Perriot "Just not to us?" Perriot's painted smile doesn't change. His eyes, cold. Jester: laughs "How precious~ You're special~" to you "How does that feel? Being the ONLY one he talks to?~" Laughing Jack: swerves "DEER! AHAHA! JUST KIDDING!" Pomni: yelps "DON'T DO THAT—" You: grab Perriot tighter He adjusts his hold, pulling you closer, one hand moving to the back of your head. Protective. Grounding. Jester: watching "So protective~ It's almost... obsessive~" Laughing Jack: "WHO WANTS TO PLAY TWENTY QUESTIONS?! I'LL GO FIRST! AHAHA!" doesn't wait for answer "WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?!" Pomni: quietly "This. This exact situation." Laughing Jack: CACKLES "GOOD ANSWER!" Jester: still focused on you and Perriot "My turn~" to you "Who do you trust more? Me or Perriot?~" You: "I don't really trust any of—" Jester: "WRONG ANSWER~" smile sharpens "Pick one~" Perriot shifts. His arms tighten. Silent message: Say me. Please. You: "...I don't know you well enough to—" Jester: interrupts "You've been sitting on Perriot's lap for THREE HOURS but you don't know HIM either~" leans closer "So pick~" Laughing Jack: "OOOH TOUGH QUESTION! AHAHA!" Pomni: muttering "Don't answer, it's a trap, everything is a trap—" Perriot: suddenly speaks, quiet but firm "Stop." Everyone goes silent. Jester: eyes wide "...Did you just—" Perriot: doesn't look at them, looking at you "You don't have to answer that." Jester: smile returns, strained "Oh SO you DO have a voice~" Perriot: finally looks at them "Yes. I just don't waste it on you." OOOOOH. Laughing Jack: from driver seat "SHOTS FIRED! AHAHA!" Jester: smile drops "Excuse me?~" Perriot: back to you, ignoring Jester "Are you okay?" You nod. Perriot: whispers "Good." kisses your temple "Just ignore them." Jester: fuming "I'm RIGHT HERE—" Perriot: doesn't acknowledge them Pomni: whispers "Oh no... oh no this is bad..." Laughing Jack: gleeful "IS IT FIGHT TIME?! I LOVE FIGHTS! AHAHA!" Jester: to Perriot "You can't just IGNORE me—" Perriot: still holding you, doesn't look at them "Watch me." Jester: stands up in moving van "THAT'S IT—" Laughing Jack: SLAMS brakes EVERYONE LURCHES FORWARD. Perriot wraps completely around you, taking the impact.

AHAHA!" Pomni: snaps "YOU SAID ONE HOUR AN HOUR AGO!" Laughing Jack: "I LIED! AHAHA!" Pomni: starts laughing hysterically "Of course. Of course you did. Why would ANYTHING be truthful—" Jester: concerned "Uh... is she okay?" Laughing Jack: "SHE'S FINE! AHAHA! THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" Pomni: still laughing, tears in eyes "WE'RE TRAPPED. WE'RE ALL TRAPPED. THERE IS NO DESTINATION—" You: "Pomni—" Pomni: looks at you "Don't you GET it?! This road trip NEVER ENDS! We're just... DRIVING!" gestures wildly "With THEM!" Jester: softly "Okay she's actually losing it—" Perriot: speaks "Pull over." Laughing Jack: tilts head "WHY?~" Perriot: "Because she needs air."

Jester: "So YOU'LL sit in back... with THEM..." points at you "...on your lap still?~" Perriot: "Yes." You: "Wait I didn't—" Perriot: looks at you "Unless you want to sit in back alone? With Jester?"
