[ yeah that's nice. also doesn't let you fix that typo ]
In the Realm, we thought it was weird as hell when they asked for a privacy screen that first week, too. [ he will give jason this much. ] But with the victims fighting back, it ended up finding enough actual evidence they kept doing it.
Bonus was, none of them got into fights about who cared more about the murder over it.
[ he is taking it away to go back to how stupid the argument was ]
Jason just kind of rolls his eyes because of course he does.]
Maybe I would have considered it if someone had bothered trying to talk to me instead of immediately jumping me for it. I still don’t get why they’re so offended I’d pull out a gun with someone coming at me after a death.
If I threw hands, I could have hit someone else if they got in the way. The gun was a tidier option.
But then it’s no big deal later for Mikazuki to want to stab Sieghart for almost being attacked? [Sure, he gets the tiny discrepancies but they are barely there to him.] Sheesh.
also god cloud looks so fucking tired. jason. your rant. ]
I'm going to start charging you for these rants. [ make it worth his time!!! ] I said the whole thing was stupid, and I stand by that. Trying to tackle you to force your clothes off was a dumbass move. I wasn't surprised you took the gun out. [ which is why he didn't say anything for a while and just like. accepted it tiredly. ] But the rest of it? One guy pulls out a gun in a murder trial, the other one goes "shoot me", and then ten people talk about how much they care about solving things, except not one of them is doing that because they're all too busy posturing? Yeah, I could've done without having to listen to it.
[ he did NOT miss his babysitter days as a leader. why. ]
You want validation so bad, next time, just kick the guy. Anyone else in range probably wanted to do the surprise strip thing to you anyway.
[I WENT TO BED!! CLOUD, THIS IS NOT BETTER. But it does make him laugh very dryly.]
If I kicked him, I would have probably broken something, and then people really would lose all their sense of reason. And be stuck trying to do first aid.
[The way he says this implies he never had any intention of shooting Molly anyhow, otherwise the feral riot and first aid pause would still be a thing.]
I didn’t think me abiding by what Harrow actually said, not that her thinking she is judge of what’s a good excuse or not didn't piss me off, would end up being me taking a gun out and holding everything up.
[Cloud isn’t caring, so he is not apologizing to Cloud. So this is all Cloud gets as a sorry.]
It’s just fucking bizarre to see so many people so eager to strip because somehow this is an every day occurrence for them before. I felt like I was in a social experiment.
[ he will take that as the sorry and move on because he truly does not want to be lecturing jason, especially since he never thought the guy would shoot molly anyway. unfortunate. ]
How'd you end up thinking this wasn't some kind of experiment? [ dry. jason said social but like. cloud hates scientists. ] We're in a murder hotel for someone's messed up entertainment, and now they're seeing what we do. Sounds like we're lab rats to me already.

What makes you think it's a girl? Oh. You think it's Ivan?
no subject
You seem like the kind of sucker who'd take the place of a girl or a kid, mostly.
no subject
You've got a lot of room to talk, pal. [But he doesn't seem mad.] It wasn't a kid or a girl, so joke's on you. It was a man.
And he would have validated me for pulling out a gun.
no subject
Sorry I didn't feel like cheering on the dumbest argument I'd heard in a while. [ incredibly. he does not sound sorry. ]
no subject
People just really want to relieved in their nudity, I guess.

I knew that already. I just meant the almost forty people stripping like it's no big deal part of the bigger experiment.
[He rubs the sockets of his eyes.]
Hope they're hidden well because if I ever find them, I'm not going to be nice.
no subject
[ but his tone says yeah he agrees that there will be no nice. ever. ]
no subject
[But he says this like he understands, clearly, there is probably going to be more in the way than distance alone.
He drops his head back.]
I'll let you know if I hear anything besides the usual dodging.
