Clowns for us tend to skew more towards creepy.

[As though for clarification.]

They might have been funny once, but their time has passed.

[ elena tips her head to the side. ]

It has. If someone calls you a clown nowadays, they mostly mean you're either being a fool or you're fooling yourself.

[ welcome to the modern world. ]

[ the modern world is so strange, but there's some things he finds familiar and recognizes. ]

...most people find them funny or annoying, but we call them fools too. Some kings have their own jester or fool to entertain them and their court.

Not me. [ yes, he's had enough to drink to casually speak about being a king, pfft. ]

[middlefinger]

(wynonna chokes on her whiskey a little at that.)

Wait? You're a king?????

(way to bury the lead, snow.)

[stupetballs]

Did we know that?

[Waverly tries to think back on if Jon had mentioned that he was king of anything in their various conversations.]

My drunk brain can't remember if we knew that.

[buried]

I knew that! I thought we all knew that?

[ but then, she and jon have been fucking. she takes a dignified sip of her own drink. ]

[nighted]

[oh fuck, right. that's a thing that he doesn't like advertised. well, least this is team human so he can count on them, and elena does know already and doesn't tell anybody about it. and he loves her for this (and many, many other things). ]

Only recently. People in the North chose me as their king, which is weird cause I'm a bastard. [ but yes, he's a king at least for a short while, and he downs more of his drink. ] ...don't tell anyone. The demons are asses about it already.

[middlefinger]

Well Waverly has you beat. She's a bastard and an angel. A literal one.

(sorry waverly, drunk wynonna is just spilling things all over the place. also slower on the uptake)

Or did you mean they're asses to you about being a king?

[stupetballs]

Oh. I remember the king thing now. They dressed you up as one for Halloween.

[There had just been much more important aspects of that conversation for Waverly to remember than Jon is uncomfortable in a king costume.]

[buried]

[ elena grows quiet, partly because she knows these are complicated subjects for jon and waverly.

but also: ] I can't believe that was almost four months ago.
