Hey there! This is Ren. Uh, the smaller one. Mini-Joker.
You can leave a message after the beep, I guess.
Or text me. Actually, please text me. Unless you're Raven.
Anyway. Do I make the beeping sound, or...? Uh. Beeeeeeeep.
[ Beep ].

"Yeah, it feels pretty good..." he reaches over to help Raven zip himself up. He doesn't look at Raven's butt when he drags the zipper up slowly. He doesn't!

[fogboundcrow]

Raven steals a glance and then... snorts. Just lightly, of course. "I still think this is fine, you know."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren starts and scrambles to put Goro's costume on fully. "Sorry-!"

[fogboundcrow]

"I just said it's all right." Sorry, Ren. This time he actually does snicker a little. "Don't worry about it."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"I didn't realize I was looking..." he's sheepish, looking down. "You're...very good looking."

[fogboundcrow]

"Well. I think you are, too..." Oh, that blush is burning now. "I like your smile. And your eyes..."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"I like all of you," Ren says, simply, staring at a certain...asset of his partner's.

[fogboundcrow]

"Well, obviously, I like all of you, too. Those are just stand-out qualities." Though don't think he doesn't notice the staring. "So. I suppose we should put on our skates?"

Right. Skates. That's what they came here for.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"No, I mean-- ugh. Skates. Right..." he shakes himself. "Yeah, let's go get skates."

[fogboundcrow]

"It's okay if you had more to say, too, though." Still, with them appropriately suited up, he'll wait for Ren's cue, and then they can get started.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Everything about you is notable," Ren huffs, looking for a pair of skates that'll fit him. "I can't choose."

[fogboundcrow]

"Well, you don't have to." Hmm... that's a stylish, red pair. It speaks to Raven, so he'll go for that one.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren keeps looking at the skates...what'd go best with his black outfit? He chooses a silvery pair that look like they're about his size.

[fogboundcrow]

"I like them." It's good to offer reassurances! Ren deserves to feel confident today, even with the silly antlers.

Now they just have to sit down on one of the benches and finally wear these skates...

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Let's go do that, right. Ren follows along, taking off his shoes and trying to put on the skates.

[fogboundcrow]

"Seems they aren't too different from lace up shoes." He makes sure everything is just right before he pulls the laces tight and starts tying. "Just make sure they're tight enough and that the laces won't come loose, and it should be fine."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Right," Ren nods, doing just that. Then a particularly obnoxious voice rings in his head.

"I think our personas are having fun without us." He stands up, a little wobbly before stabilizing. "Wanna head out?"

[fogboundcrow]

"Well, naturally. We can't let them have all the fun." Raven also wobbles as he stands, but he offers a hand. "I suppose we just have to mind our balance..."

Out on the ice rink, Hiro is twirling excitedly, his movements graceful and light.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

And there's Wormwood, scooping up a wayward Shiro to twirl him with a giggle.

Ren takes the hand Goro offers. "Let's do this."

[fogboundcrow]

Oh, Hiro's cheeks turn a pretty pink, and he joins in the giggling. "What a gentleman!"

Raven, still not wanting to be outdone, carefully guides Ren to the ice. "All right. All we have to do is step onto the ice and glide our way to victory..."

It should be easy. He tentatively takes a step onto the rink once they're close enough...

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren takes a deep breath. "Three, two, one..."

A single, tentative step onto the ice.

[fogboundcrow]

Okay. It's not so bad, as long as they hang close to the wall, it should be easy enough to adjust. Raven tries to move slowly, just so the lack of friction doesn't send them flying.

All this, while Shiro waves at them. "Oh, you're finally here!"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Yeah! We couldn't let you have all the fun," Ren grins. He lets go of Goro and takes one big stride forwards--

"ACK!"

-- and he's suddenly doing the splits, scrabbling on the surface of the ice with his fingers as his skates slip out from under him.

[fogboundcrow]

"Ren!" Raven tries to shoot after him, only to overshoot and go sliding right past him. Clenching his teeth, he tries to turn...

And overshoots again.

Blinking, Shiro frowns at the display. "Should we assist them...?"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Wormwood laces his arms around his dearest Shiro. "If you wish, my loveliness."

"It'd be appreciated," Ren grunts, struggling to un-split himself.
