How am I rude? [WOW. This isn't a lie.] Gemini? That guy's kind of a dick.
[Guy as in person, Jason doesn't know if it's a man or a woman. But they are sassy to Jason for obvious reasons, so he doesn't see how this tracks.] Maybe they just have a thing for you. [He just kind of makes a face when Claude is mentioned. His nemesis...]
Yeah, I would love to see Claude and Gemini bothering to sit on the bed with you while you're drunk. --Hey, are you asleep already? Wow.
[this is going to be very funny when she's dead later and this is the last thing they said to her
anyway, her flat ass is struggling to stay awake.]
No, Claude has a girlfriend. [mumbles into her pillow. and then she falls silent, breathing evening out. she's still clinging to cloud. unlucky for him.]
Lup, c'mon. [ it's muttered because of his personal space :( it gone. after a beat where it's obvious she's asleep he kind of sighs, long suffering, looking at Jason over her ] ... Who even asked about that guy's girlfriend...?
[He says this exactly like he expects Claude to never have a girlfriend ever, but that is just because they're enemies. Lup isn't even going to answer probably, it's rhetorical. He folds the arm on their side down so he can glance from Lup to Cloud.
He shrugs.]
Maybe she tried to get him to do what we're doing, but he's too chaste and pure unlike the rest of us.
["his personal space" she's holding onto his pants leg with one hand, he has plenty
she doesn't answer, but she does, in fact, scrunch up in her sleep and sigh as the lava glow cracks across her skin brighten and dim with her breathing. have fun chatting boys.]
[ his pant leg IS his personal space!!!! it's six feet around him at all times!!! he makes no move to move her anyway. ]
That guy doesn't look chaste to me. [ he has no bad opinion of claude, only neutral, but he saw the dude's profile quote. he saw it. he's also clearly giving up on being shy and moving a little to try and make himself comfortable on jason's bed. this is hilarious. ] You know she's never letting us live this one down when she wakes up, right?
[ that she made them all share a bed and cuddle. he doesn't even sound annoyed about it, he is resigned. this is it. this is their life ]
[He should not laugh, but he snorts anyway because he's thinking about the frog and also the weird ass quote.] Maybe women are into chinstraps, I don't know. [That's mean. THEY'RE BEING MEAN.
He watches Lup for a long moment to make sure she is asleep. Then he carefully shifts onto his side while half lying down because it's HIS bed, and he is going to be comfortable on it, dammit! He folds one arm under his head and puts the other one between him and Lup's back because he will not put it across her and end up touching Cloud also.]
Worse, she's going to be asking us to do it every time because she found out she likes it. Just warning you now. [Help them.] I would ask if you're taking her back when you go, but it doesn't look like you're going anywhere actually. Want me to turn off the light so you don't have to look at me?
[ lup is asleep so i guess i will tag so flurry can eyes ]
Will it work to shut you up too? Because that's a two-in-one. [ jason is truly walking into these. but he sighs and puts his right arm behind his head to get comfortable. it cannot be the left because that's still a motherfucker. ] Sure. Might as well accept my fate with this sleepover.
[ he says nothing about doing it again because he can live in denial of this not becoming a thing. he CAN. ]
[Damn. FLURRY CAN SEE WHAT JASON PUTS UP WITH AT ALL TIMES.]
Gonna be honest despite your sass: probably not. I stay up most of the night.
[No one has every questioned it, but Jason probably doesn't walk around too much during the day, and when he does, he's grumpy because he stayed up for his usual graveyard shift. Bats.
He does not mention to Cloud that when he moves off the bed to get the light, Lup is probably going to latch onto him since he's the only one left. Cloud's problem now. He gets off the bed with way more finesse and skill than normal for someone his size and moves around to switch the light off.]
[ godmods lup to say this does happen and jason gets to hear cloud's disgruntled and mildly distressed noise. he is not surprised, but he was HOPING, okay. he doesn't say shit about it because he knows jason will just be mocking ]
... Your vigilante thing? [ cloud's guessing. sometimes you learn a man's dad is called batman and him being nocturnal makes sense based on that. ] No wonder you've got that attitude all the time. You're missing naptime.
[ he is being an ass considering cloud has no excuse for his own attitude. for both of them it's just the trauma. ]
[In the dark, something pops Cloud upside the back of the head. It’s Jason’s hand. He doesn’t hit him very hard.
But then he’s gone. He moves back to his spot without hiccup, and he’s stupidly quiet. Not that Cloud can do anything about it because then he risks waking Lup.]
Okay, Terminator Eyes. No wonder she likes you so much, she’s got a personal night light.
[He can’t talk. He has been relegated to heating blanket apparently.]
[ HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND YOUR SHITTY REFERENCES!!! and he cannot hit jason in theory to not wake up lup but in practice he does not care and assumes she'll sleep through it, so he reaches over to hit him back. boys, boys. you're both stupid. ]
The mako's not that bright. [ he sounds offended. why is that his objection. also yeah his eyes ARE glowy in the dark, like a kitty. don't @ him. ]
[ thank you for not comparing cloud to a supervillain. cloud makes a pensive noise. can jason tell how close he is to dissociating trying to remember details that aren't real in the dark? ha ha! a mystery. ]
More like...bathed in it. [ right? he thinks he remembers that. then again. he does vaguely remember injections? hm. he decides to not think about it too hard it is giving him a headache. ]
Sword was a gift. [ he thinks. he doesn't remember from who or when, but he is sticking to that. it's quiet for a bit after that though. ] ... What'd they dunk you in?
Evil Nickelodeon fun-time slime. [He knows Cloud won't get this at all, so:] Came back with my head scrambled like eggs. [haha twinsies]
A crazy assassin chick thought it'd be a great idea to dunk me in their infamous green soup hole. It's called a Lazarus Pit. I guess that doesn't make sense if you don't know who Lazarus is. Biblical guy who got resurrected. Your most horrific spa day really. It "restores" and "rejuvenates" you.
... Thought you said you crawled out of the grave. [ well. both might be plausible. because comics. but since jason shared, cloud will expand too; ] Mako's the lifeblood of the Planet. Used to power stuff in general. Prolonged or direct contact with it can lead to people going completely comatose and unresponsive, 'til they die. SOLDIERs are the lucky few who can handle a dose and come out stronger.
[ or sometimes you get the poisoning and you come out of it but don't remember ]
[He exhales a little in the dark.] Good to know people don't mind running weird fossil fuel through other people for their own goals even in other worlds. [Sounds exactly... like... home... almost. Evil people truly exist everywhere.]
[ shinra: it is a metaphor for something very subtle. he shakes his head ]
Lucky. Sure. Back during the war, everyone dreamed of being a SOLDIER. They were heroes. Most of the ones who tried never made it past initial screening. [ he's staring at the ceiling in the dark ] At least they don't try out all prospects directly with the mako.
No, that'd be a waste for them. They'd only want to test the promising ones. [He's quiet for a moment.] Did you agree to it? The testing. Or did they just give it to you with the promise?
I really... wanted to join SOLDIER. [ in that kind of far off tone like he's thinking about it. there's stuff he knows he didn't agree to, with hojo. but when...? ] But I didn't read the fine print.
[ that covers the memory blanks it's fine he does not want to disassociate currently ]
