[ how curious! ruby walks over and kneels down, tilting her head to the side.]
Vax? Is everything okay?
Vax? Is everything okay?
[ ah
well his perception is not vex levels and therefore ruby successfully sneaks up on him. he jumps, a little bit, surprised both at being startled and at ruby. ]
Oh - shite. I'm alright.
[ because he was startled, though, ruby gets a look at his face
at his new look ]

Sorry, didn't mean to sca-
[ she blinks. blinks again. and just
busts out laughing. ]
What! What happened, HAH...to your face!???
[ she blinks. blinks again. and just

[ she's going to try and stop laughing, but it mostly does not work and instead she's stuck with little giggles. ]
Sorry, sorry. [ wheezes. ] What do you mean contagious? How...
Sorry, sorry. [ wheezes. ] What do you mean contagious? How...
Clown face plague?
[ ruby blinks, standing up straight. ]
Uh...okay.
[ oh no. oh no. oh no.
she takes a few steps back and steps on her own cape. ] AH!

Ruuuubbyyyyyyy....
[ this is drawn out in the lowest voice he can manage, because vax is a big (?) sibling before he is anything else and therefore he is a giant bully. as he starts going towards ruby like a zombie with exaggerated steps, he reaches out for her -
and then laughs when she trips and hurries to grab her arm or something so she doesn't fall flat on her ass. ]
Alright, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Sheesh.

[ she is falling and then suddenly not, thank you vax. but she does not register his words right away. ]
No no no, I don't want to be a clown!
[ she looks so defeated, until the wheel stops buffering and she realizes... ]
Oh. [ blinks. ] Bully. [ frowns. it's more like a pout really.]
No no no, I don't want to be a clown!

[ hair is thoroughly ruffled, looking like she just woke up or was in a wind storm. ]
You're right, you're right. But I just couldn't help myself!
[ sighs. then she looks up at his face again and has to press her lips together to muffle a giggle. sorry vax. ]

[ at some point in the evening vax will receive a text from ruby. ]
vax!!!!!!!!!
[ a few minutes later. ]

vax!!!!!!!!!
[ a few minutes later. ]

[ this is so many exclamation points. vax uses voice to text almost always so she doesn't get an immediate reply back except: ]
👍🖕
[ wow
anyway!!! give it like five minutes, and vax is approaching! he's got his hands in his pockets and is still looking somewhat warily around like clowns might just happen again, though when he spots ruby he gives her a sup nod and trots over. ]
Rubes. [ yo ]
👍🖕

[ he sure is a voice to text guy, huh.
she makes a face at the response, rolling her eyes.
shes waving at vax as he walks up and the look on her face is one of excitement and even a little mischief??? ]
Since the murder clowns are gone and all the rides are working now, I was thinking we could try some of them!! And the snacks look like they might taste better? At least I hope so!

[ murder clowns is the perfect name for them yeah.
ruby's excitement is a little contagious - he gives her a little bit of a smile, fondness pretty much instantly visible on his face. ]
Sure, yeah. People ride these things for fun? You got a favorite?

[ wehe ]
There's a giant teapot in the middle and then you sit in the teacups around it! And it spins reaaaaally fast. It's super fun!
[ she finds a yellow and blue teapot to sit them both in. gestures at the turntable in the middle. ]
If you turn this it'll make the cup go faster than all the other ones!

[ well that was A LOT. and ruby is back in medbay, this time here to check on vax. ]

I'm...I'm really glad you made it back.

[ oh that makes him soften a little further - he reaches out with his good right hand and pats her on the head. pat, pat. ]
Yeah. I promised, didn't I? Maybe wasn't all that careful, but I promised I'd be alright. [ a beat. ] I baked a cake, even.

[ BWEH. she sniffles again, looking at him. ]
You made it back in one piece...well [ pauses. shakes head. nevermind. ]
Was it the cake you all landed in??
[ she's going to place a teddy bear on his chest, gently. ] This is for you, I made it myself. [ smiles lightly. ]

[ he can joke about it if ruby doesn't, looking down at his leg. look. it's not the first time.
but! ah! he's gonna answer her question about the cake when he is suddenly presented with a tiny little present? a friend? a bear??? ]
...Rubes. [ surprise crosses his face, and he sounds.. touched, actually, the wider eyes softening a bit, as he takes it in his good hand and toys with it. ] ... thank you.
[ and then holds it out to her, reaching to boop her gently on the nose with it. ] Trinket Junior, then.
