*Crutchie is trying to clock every possible escape, doors, windows, anything*

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

Hey!! Jojo— hey! uh— you doin any better..?

- @ask-race-higgins

Go away, Racetrack.

[ask-crutchiee]

*Crutchie just nods a little not wanting to mention he was also definitely one of those not wanting to wake up tomorrow*

wether ya like it or not, we care, ‘n we ain’t gonna stop carin

ya brains all busted up from thinkin too much, get some rest

it probably ain’t gonna go away that easy but ya can catch a little break from it ‘n feel a little better when ya wake up

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

Hey!! Jojo— hey! uh— you doin any better..?

- @ask-race-higgins

Go away, Racetrack.

[ask-crutchiee]

((yayyy i love projectinggggg))

*Crutchie already felt scared and hopeless*

we love ya Jo, but ya ain’t thinkin right

how’s ‘bout we all turn in for the night ‘n look at this tomorrow with fresh eyes?

*he sounds so hopeless and tired but he knows fully that he has no hope of sleeping tonight or any time soon*

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

[ask-crutchiee]

please, Jo

even if ya ain’t see how special ya is please listen when we tell ya how special ya is to us

*Crutchie did too, or even just not actively ideating, something reminiscent of stable would also be good*

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

Go away, Racetrack.

[ask-crutchiee]

we might all be too far gone *he holds his upper arms which are now bandaged under his sleeves*

but we gotta try

one of us givin up would mean all of us givin up

((Crutchie had a bad breakdown when jojo ran away and returned to some ✨really unhealthy coping mechanisms✨ he’d been failing to stop))

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

Go away, Racetrack.

[ask-crutchiee]

look, Jo, we’s a family, family looks out for each other ‘n we’s gonna look out for you ‘n we’s ain’t gonna stop

if ya can’t accept help for you, do it for the folks that care bout ya

stoppin things that hurt ya for yourself is hard and shitty, doin it for somebody ya care about makes it a little easier

*he would know, trust him ((wink wink nudge nudge Race, if you didn’t help him with that he wouldn’t have stopped and he wouldn’t be trying to permanently stop))*

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

Jojo, i’m so so sorry ya gotta feel so shitty, please let us help ya, you ain’t gotta suffer like this alone, we want to help ya, you deserve to be helped

(( @ask-jojo-the-newsie ))

Hey!! Jojo— hey! uh— you doin any better..?

- @ask-race-higgins

Go away, Racetrack.

[ask-crutchiee]

((hai))

*Crutchie looks a mess, pacing, shaking a little, he was clearly crying*

*as soon as he saw Jojo and Race enter he got over to them as fast as he possibly could almost falling twice before dropping his crutch and flinging his arms around them both*

*almost crying out to relief* thank god youse is ok

((Race Crutchie Jojo for order?))

Hey!! Jojo— hey! uh— you doin any better..?

- @ask-race-higgins

Go away, Racetrack.

[ask-crutchiee]
