You Can't Joke About That Novels & Stories

This was just another one of his sick games. I swallowed hard, trying to push down the panic rising in my chest. “I know you’ve always had a thing for bad jokes, Marco,” I managed, forcing a nervous laugh, hoping—praying—that this was just him messing with me. “But this… this is crossing the line. I don’t find this funny at all.”

I'm getting weird these days. I hugged the teddy bear,"Hmm... If I want something to hug, why not you instead?" I joked. I never thought I would say that words, and of all person... I said those to him. But that was just a joke. Can't I joke? Lia shierked on her seat followed by Vencie's malicious whistle. While looking at Yukenzo, his brows remained in furrow. I want to laugh but I stopped myself. Did he take it seriously? But I'm just trying to lighten up the mood!

Was that some kind of joke or what? “You can always find your way around it?” I scoffed, blinking my eyes rapidly in surprise. “Can you listen to yourself right now? You can find your way around it? I mean, what if something goes wrong? I'm not going to allow you gamble with my life. So, it's either you're sure about this, or I'm out.” “There you go again.” he said, heaving a sigh. “I was only joking with you. Do you really think that I would spend that much time and not memorize just four lines?”

I had been lowering my head to avoid Soren's gaze, but he tried to meet me exactly by looking down at me. I couldn't avoid him. I feigned calmness and decided to play the fool. "I was just telling a joke, man. Why so serious?" "But I wasn't joking. This is why you've been revoked the right to joke about it. Equivalent exchange," he replied patiently, as though he hadn't just said the most absurd thing. "It's your turn to introduce yourself now."

I asked, my tone serious and I tightened my fist. "I said, that if I were the owner of this, I'll sell everything I have to you for free. I don't mind being a poor man which I know I won't be," the man chuckled and I stopped in the middle of the walk. Folding my arms and with my left eyebrow lifted, I replied, my voice with seriousness "Please can you for once stop this? I honestly don't want to hear any of your unnecessary jokes. You should know that unofficial topics like this are not good and I don't like it. Be warned and don't hole around me, keep your jokes for your generation. You piss me the fuck off!"

I joked lightly, and Serin rolled his eyes at my poor excuse of one. "Funny," he said humorlessly. I only cackled even harder. "No, seriously. You should step out of the corporate world and become a comedian with jokes like that." "Aw, come on, Serin." I followed him out of the house and into the backyard, where he walked out for some fresh air. "It was kind of funny, admit it!" "You need to admit yourself into a mental hospital with jokes like that." ###

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't joke with a knife, okay?" He said fear was written all over his face "Err I thought I said it can't kill," I said smirking and lowering the knife a bit "Can you ever take the slightest joke? Huh?" "Well I don't joke when it comes to life," I said taking the knife off his neck completely and we continued walking "I was just kidding, not that you should kill me with that," He said checking his neck to see if there was a cut or something

“It’s not funny.” Adrian nodded beside her… equally unimpressed. “Yeah, it’s really not funny, dude.” I blinked… feigning offense. “Excuse me? Do I look like I am joking?” Echo tilted her head. “At this very moment, yes.” I threw my hands up. “I am serious, guys! Why would I joke about something like this?” Echo’s suspicion melted a little, replaced by disbelief. “Do you really mean it?” “Of course I do,” I said… grinning. “I found a way out. You guys are going to be human again.”

I muttered, “if I wanted you dead, I wouldn’t poison you. I’d shoot you instead.” Their mouths dropped open, and I realized too late that I shouldn’t be joking about something like that. A nervous laugh fell from my lips. “I—I was only joking. You’d be able to smell poison from a mile away, and I know you’ll get the gun away from me within seconds.” Devrim was the first to break the silence. “You humans have a sick sense of humour. I don’t really see what’s so funny in what you said.” “I’m sorry.”

Don't you think you're a joke? "That's right! You keep on trying to make yourselves look good. You talk about yourselves as if you're the strongest in the world. It's an absolute joke. Don't you feel embarrassed saying all of that? If you really have such strong opinions, then go try and change the rules. We're not the ones who set the world. We're not interested in trying to pass with all of you either?! Do you think we're happy having to look at your ugly faces?"
