[CLOUD? Losing my shit. This is cute... Gifts for them. It's so funny that he keeps getting bat shit because of all of his disagreements with the Big Bat and the Bat Family ideals.

This brings me joy.

He takes the origami, already starting to grin as he looks it over. Absolutely seems like he wants to say shit. He exchanges a wolfish glance with Lup.]

You start giving me gifts, and I'm going to think you like me or something.

[evocationary]

[THIS IS SO CUTE CLOUD HELLO

anna kicked me out of the order so i'll go now i guess. anyway, cloud hands her the flowers, and her ears go bright pink.]

Oh. [say something more, you idiot] I - they're pretty.

[unfortunately she's utterly disarmed by cute gestures like this so jason glances at her and she gives him a deer in headlights look]

[skyagain]

You think I do sleepovers with people I can't stand?

[ jason, please use your brain. anyway he REFUSES to acknowledge this and is quite clearly blushing and embarrassed himself, but it's fine ]

Anyway, let's go in.

[ MOVE ON!!! move on!!!! let him die and move on!!! ]

[unrecked]

[STOP I'M SO USED TO BEING AFTER ZIA I WAS PREMATURE!!!!!!!!

He peers at Lup's flowers, so amused she is as embarrassed as Cloud is. WHY IS HE THE ONLY ONE HAVING A GREAT TIME HERE.] Those are cute. Gonna have to annoy one of the staff for a vase. [Flowies.

He reaches out to pinch Cloud's cheek.]

Thanks, boyscout.

[Hehe. He motions for Lup to go in. Ladies first. Also it lets him bump into Cloud playfully when they go in.]

[evocationary]

[it's so funny that jason is the only one who didn't get taken out at the knees by this

she - goes in, flustered, and - winces, slightly, when she does? like she moved wrong. it's fine, probably.

... she will take one of the flowers and put it in her hair.]

[skyagain]

[ BATS JASON'S STUPID HAND AWAY WHEN HE PINCHES HIM ]

Don't call me that. [ he'd bump him back when they went in, but lup winces and he notices, so instead; ] You okay?

[ immediately. like a simp. ]

[unrecked]

[Holds up a gun.

Jason is a Bat, so of course he notices. Luckily, Cloud already asked the question he would have asked, which means he gets to stand there looking at her pointedly. Both of her men are looking at her worriedly.]

[evocationary]

[she MAKES A FACE.]

God, I'm fine. It's - Lepus threw me against a wall earlier. But I'm fine. [she rubs at her throat.]

[skyagain]

How is that fine?

[ HELLO???? LEPUS?????? HE'S GOING TO FIGHT THE STAFF???? ]

[unrecked]

[HOLD UP.]

They did what? [Can't believe Cloud and Jason are both going to fight the staff.] Why?

[evocationary]

Because I provoked them, and they followed through. [she says, huffy. keeps... rubbing at her throat.] They pulled a knife on me, too, so don't - get mouthy.

[skyagain]

[ HELLO????? ]

How is any of that better? What the hell did you do to provoke them, ask them to stab you?

[unrecked]

[CHRIST. He reaches up to exasperatedly PINCH THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE.]

Lup. [WHY.] What happened? [He'd scold, but Cloud is doing it for him.] Come here, what's wrong with your throat? Did they grab you by it?

[evocationary]

[her ears flick, like a scolded cat, and she moves over to jason when he asks. she's okay! she doesn't have any visible bruises or anything.]

I saw a memory of theirs, and when I tried to be nice to them about it and tell them I don't think they're garbage, they slammed me into a wall and put a knife to my throat.

[... she will not tell them she dared lepus to do it, because they didn't! so it's fine!]

Royce did worse, honestly. I'm not afraid of them.

[skyagain]

So what was the provocation part of that, exactly?

[ no cloud knows how she WORKS there is a REASON he asked earlier he is not dropping that ]

[unrecked]

[Hm. Well. This sounds like Royce, so he can't even be too mad about it. HE'S CONCERNED. But. It's familiar. He still frowns at the last part, though.]

I'm going to have to deck Royce? [He's kidding. He tips her head up out of the way by the chin. Glad there's no bruising or marks. He's satisfied.] I don't think Lepus is the kind of person who enjoys talking to other people much less someone being nice to them.

[evocationary]

[it'd be funny if i was a secret like fifth mod and brought royce because lepus reminds me very much of him]

You should deck Royce regardless. [she tells jason. a beat.] The provocation was they told me to say I wasn't giving up on them again, and I did.

[she wrinkles her nose.] They're not allowed to kill guests, so.

[skyagain]

[ who the fuck is royce. cloud is just left in the dark on that one ]

That the line, then? It's fine whatever happens so long as you don't die? [ honestly he doesn't even sound mad just unimpressed ]

[unrecked]

I probably should.

[He seems wryly amused by Cloud's Mom Scolding. Why does he have to be the dad here?]

Cloud's not... wrong. Just because they can't kill guest doesn't mean you should test whether or not they can hurt them. Try not to rile them up.

[evocationary]

[her expression sours when cloud gets on her about it, and then jason joins in and her ear flicks violently.]

I didn't know they were going to do it. I didn't ask for them to slam me into a wall! I was -- [she looks very unhappy.] I was trying to tell them they're not alone and they attacked me.

Maybe I shouldn't have pushed, but you don't get anywhere with people if you don't push.

[skyagain]

[ HE DOESNT WANT TO BE THE MOM and he has some Thoughts about people and pushing, but he stays quiet and shakes his head after a bit, because admittedly. these circumstances seem Specific. ]

The staff isn't keeping their distance and the mystery up because it's fun. They're hiding a lot. More than you or me ever had to hide. [ that one is admittedly a guess, but it's fine ] I'm pretty sure we push the wrong way, or they say one thing too much, and consequences won't be good for anyone involved. The memory stuff seemed to freak them out the most.

Maybe it was the only way Lepus could think to make you stop. Seems to be their reflex with anything anyway.

[ that last part is pensive. ]

[unrecked]

[Both of his hands reach up to cup Lup's face in them. He doesn't hold it firmly or rudely or anything.]

Hey. I know. I get it. Just be careful, okay? You already know how people like Lepus are with others being kind or getting close. It's worrying for them. Go easy.

[He lowers his hands and glances at Cloud briefly.]

You're gonna give blondie a heart attack.

[evocationary]

[it is a good thing for jason because lup starts to puff up angrily at that. she knows! there are so many things she couldn't say, too! this wasn't even pushing that hard other than saying they were friends, which she has said to other npcs! also that shouldn't be their reflex!!!

these are all things she's getting ready to shout about, but jason takes her face in his hands and the fire sort of just. leaves her, instead. she bites the inside of her cheek, looking frustrated and kind of upset.]

You don't have to explain it to me, I'm not an idiot. [she says, finally, voice snippy.] I wasn't trying to get at their secret identity or anything they're hiding. All I wanted to do was tell them they're not trash.

[and she pulls away and goes to the simulations panel, ears pressed down. her feelings are hurt.]

[skyagain]

[ well. it is a good thing for jason because cloud is bad at this, huh. ]

That's not what I... [ he was trying to say because lepus is an idiot that was their reflex when they panicked because of aforementioned reasons, so lup isn't to blame and also fine, cloud won't kick their ass, but clearly that got lost somewhere.

he's frowning and looking down, arms crossed before he sighs ]

Never mind. Forget it.

[ he is. turning around and leaving though i'm sorry he's like this ]

[unrecked]

[WHAT IS HAPPENING. JASON IS NOT--WHY. HELP. Gotta be the white bread in this PB&J to keep it together, I GUESS.

he

CLOSES HIS EYES BRIEFLY FOR REAL and starts to reach up to rub his them, but then notices Cloud TRYING TO LEAVE. He grabs Cloud by the crook of the arm.] Hell no, you're not leaving me with your mess. [Turning Cloud right back around. He TAKES CLOUD'S OTHER HAND because he doesn't trust Cloud not to try walking off again.] Next time, give the gift after the argument, jackass. [He cannot BELIEVE THIS.

Anyway, Cloud has no choice because Jason has a beefy arm, he drags Cloud over toward Lup and the panel. He puts a hand on her back.] Scootch over. [Shut up, he'll do the damn simulation first.

Imagine he takes them somewhere bad because he's irritated. (no)]
