Ow. [Childishly, he sort of kicks back near the boot.] It isn't going to be me. I pulled a gun out already.
So I guess we're fucked if someone else doesn't step up to the plate. I don't know, maybe Estelle can do it. [Who else here is friendship-based and nice.] Uh. [...] Mo...lly...? Kazunari.
Great. Now you sound like some of the staff. [He puts on a mocking voice that doesn't sound like anyone else in particular really:] "Would it kill you to make allies, Jason?"
I think here, allies might be good as it gets for a while.
Do I look like I've got money? I'm cooperating with you because the alternative is people calling me a bad boy before they throw me into a terrible home movie. I know being dead has the potential to tell us a lot more, but I'd at least like to be alive to do something about it.
You run your mouth too much. [ it's said a little idly, like he's not thinking about it. and he is not. he tilts the empty glass ] But I'd rather you be alive too.
[ this is definitely more honest than jason OR cloud wants but sometimes you are still bummed out about a kid and also maybe a little dissociating still. don't @ him ]
[Cloud, this is the softest, sickeningly sappy thing. Hello? But it surprises Jason enough to where it actually shuts him up for a minute. He glances at Cloud out of the corner of his eye, then looks completely exasperated.
The ribbing he can handle. Anger and retaliation, too. That's fine. He knows those are coming. BUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE NICE TO HIM....]
Kind of shitty hearing that from you when you scraped by death by the skin of your ass.

[He pauses to take a slow sip of the drink he's barely touched. Pointedly.]
We're fucked probably.
no subject
[ he didn't pour himself another drink and he still won't he is just going to slowly shake his head ]
Maybe instead of friendship it can be reluctant alliance.

[ he thinks that's hilarious. it is very clear. ]

Shut up. None of them have even cared except, like, one.
no subject
That's still one worrying about you making buddies.
[ it was allies but cloud is an asshole ]
no subject
[Cloud is
right here.
NOT THAT IT MEANS ANYTHING, PLEASE SHUT UP.]

Maybe I just stubborned my way back to life. If that's the case, you've got a decent shot to it too.
