[WELCOME TO THE BAR. Non-conning Cloud into going to the bar as if he wouldn't be there sometime already.
Unfortunately, Jason is already seated there. He glances over a shoulder and sort of nods with his chin in greeting. Hello. He reaches out with an empty rocks glass and places it down on the counter in front of the next stool.
It's an offer, but Cloud doesn't have to take it.]
honestly, it's not like jason was the worst company, so sure, he'll sit next to him. and of course cloud went to bars, they remind him of tifa. and also he got so used to it because he had one in redacted since i think i'm funny. so there he is, and he grabs something to just do like, idk, whiskey on the rocks. he is not a bartender. ]
[They get the confessional room because nothing is more awkward and horrendous for them than having to confess some kind of sin before they can leave and never speak again.
Jason is hanging out in the Spooky Door hallway! What's funny is that he does not appear to be as much of a jokester as usual. The playfulness has sort of died in his eyes, replaced instead by something more intense and... angry? Haha...
He has a gun out? The .45 is gripped down at his side, and he actualy kind of starts when Cloud appears. THANKFULLY, HE DOES NOT POINT THE GUN.]
You're gonna like these rooms even less than the others.
anyway said pure boy has his giant ass sword and stupid outfit on. his eyes flit to the gun when he spots jason but since he is not being aimed at he doesn't make a move ]
I'd believe that. You look like hell. [ he gives jason a once over ] What happened?
[ i cannot believe jason truly looked at cloud and went yeah i'll befriend him
anyway jason is also special because cloud does come a'knocking on his door not long after. could he have answered the message? yes maybe but also no because the typewriters are stupid ]
[ the courtyard is a public space and cloud isn't necessarily seeking out jason, but he's not shying away or mad at him or disappointed or whatever people are. he is not paid enough to care. ]
i put him in the courtyard just so i could say he's lounging on the statues. it'd be funny if it was cloud's, but no, it's just one of the random other npcs.]
[Hello, Cloud. They are here... for karaoke. He is peering around the room, knowing what it is thankfully.]
Yeah. Every week. [him, too, buddy. why.] You like singing? Maybe they think singing together will take our minds off the fact we have to contractually kill one another.
[ assigns us as somewhere in the realm, because that's cloud's house. come explore his house jason. right now he's on the bridge north of the town, leaning against the railing and overlooking the river. you are imagining that he looks almost melancholic.
it doesn't last anyway because he spots jason, and he turns a little red because affection week was SO fucking much, but he's also trying to pretend it was not that bad and it's weirder to not greet him, so. he raises a hand lazily in greeting. ]
... Hey.
[ they had so much sex. worse, they had so much cuddling. how could this happen to him. ]
I am mobile right this minute, so I can’t show you what he is wearing yet. But it’s a white sweatshirt with red pants and shoes. He actually sort of lights up in the face when he spots Cloud, but takes his time walking over.
He faces the railing so he can lean on it with his hands. He’s shy.]
[i keep forgetting cloud is shorter i was like what do you mean frown up
Jason opens his mouth, then shuts it. He nods. It is tempering him, but also frustrating the shit out of him. He prods Cloud in the chest gently with a finger and mouths, Lucky you.]
[He looks exhausted honestly. He should not have had that single cigarette before because that's now what he thinks about every time they have a wild ass happening in this hellhole.]
[ they're off in a corner while everyone panics about the npcs or smt. cloud just nods from where he's standing up from bedtime because yes, obviously ]
Yeah. Looks like your contract was a little more done than you thought. [ and because he is an absolute shithead, there's a pause before; ] Told you I'd be fine.
