Yes, the type. The monster hunting bullshit and the car just made me think of the first round of the station, is all.
[huffs. anyway, she listens to the rest of jason's explanation.]
... End the show to go home. [she says, thoughtfully. she also did this in the curfew thread later but when he says the car hit them she rests her head on jason's chest to listen to him breathe again for a second. no crackles >:(]
[ season 28 of supernatural made me scream. anyway, clouds frowning in concern again but Lup's got it, so. It's fine. maybe end the show means something or maybe not, but he decides to think about it later ]
... Explains the broken bones. [ plural. ] So, what, you guys got her out of the car and stole it?
She got out of the car herself. [Said in the "let me make myself clear" way.] She spent the whole time yelling at us about how she pays our paycheck, and she can't lose her views and her audience.
She wanted us to get our acts together. You know, typical Hollywood bullshit. [Wait, do they know Hollywood? He sighs.] Movie and acting stuff.
I fell beside the car because I rolled up over it, so I don't think she could see me. So I snuck into the car, cranked it up, and then ran her over. Most of the audience was leaving by then. She wasn't dead, of course. We just had to book it.
[the answer to that question is lup knows what hollywood is when it's funny for her to know]
Is that when you all got out? [...] I hope uh - see, usually these places are not one to one on our experiences in whatever horror house we've found ourselves in. I hope that's still the case here because if some random audience is watching us do all this I'd lose my marbles.
[she doesn't think that's the case necessarily, just. you know.]
[ he has to point it out. he also has to kind of lean into Jason's hold because it's affection week and he hates this entire thing. (he does not know what Hollywood is. unrelated.) ]
Yeah. [To Lup, about getting out.] I mean... We're entertainment, right? I wouldn't be surprised if we were being watched. Didn't they find, like, cameras and stuff in security?
I get that might be for "hotel safety" purposes, but--it sounds like we're entertainment.
[Thinking about Robowest and Tiki........being watched by aliens. He was not there, though, and cannot make this inference.]
Sure, but I figured that was how the staff was watching us, not... you know, that we're all fucked up versions of Truman Burbank.
[she figures she does not also have to say she's glad they got out. obviously she is, considering she hasn't moved from jason's side for like an hour.]
There were cameras set up for everything, but the "worker" watching was a shadow, not the staff. [ he's the they from security. it's him. ] Thought it was like... an extension of the Nightman, maybe.
[ he doesn't even ask who truman is. he's given up on references. ]
[she makes a face. she doesn't like the idea of that at all.
as for the locket, she nods.] Harrow and Yuri said the same. I uh, I don't really talk to any of the people who came out of the second one, though, so I might be out of luck on figuring out what they got.
[a beat.] Oh. Did you see the notes that belong to Aquarius?
[Look. They have all had sex together; he doesn't think it's too big of a deal if they're doing it separately with each other. Especially this week when it's hell. Lup can know. So he says:] We fucked. [But, like, casually before moving on.
He also sort of looks away now. IT'S FINE.]
You think it's a bad idea to show Aquarius the journal? Oh--hold on. Keep talking, it's not related. I don't think.
[Jason turns to go dig over on his desk, holding his side. Give him a second to find.]
Yes, thank you, I got the idea. Cloud isn't subtle. [she's not mad or anything, she's just amused. she doesn't seem to mind, either, like sometimes you get distracted.]
Yeah, the wedding planning part and the occult thing was - Jason Todd, if you don't lay back down right now --
[DON'T GET UP HELLO she had something to say about showing aquarius the journal but now jason is standing after he got hit by a car and she's going to mclose it]
Chill, chill. I'm coming back. I've been through worse.
[He comes back with a thin stack of something after a minute of opening a book and taking them out. Carefully, he joins them again, trying to get situated and comfortable like before.]
I said you could keep talking, sheesh. [He holds up five trading cards for them. Enjoy, Zia.] Bought these from the shop.
[He splits one away, keeping four of the others together. He waves those four.] I know these people. [They do too! Now. It's some of the people from the Christmas party.]
The gift shop. The trading cards. Wanted to see what I got.
[He moves one of the four cards over to the side with the single odd ball out one.] This is Damian, Steph, and Dick. [Dryly:] I’m glad Dick is not only a little younger but a ho? Anyway. [He moves the one from before back over with them.]
It wasn’t too weird on their own, I guess, but this one… This is me when I was young. Don’t laugh.
[Baby Jason…]
This isn’t me right now. But it is the me I saw… in Lepus’s memory. [He waves the other single one.] Not sure who this is.
A version of himself. [ he's heard this one. ] Like how there was another you in the Realm.
[ he is, admittedly, looking curiously at baby jason. ]
I got one from the casino, then went and got a pack from the gift store. But I don't know-- most of them. [ he says most after a second of hesitation. ]
Yeah. [Acknowledging Cloud.] They were together—we? It wasn’t me, but anyway. They were trying to get in somewhere, I think. I shot… at something that ended up being a person. Lepus knew it was some kind of trap, and it was, but I went in anyway.
[Once Jason Todd, always Jason Todd.]
Not sure what happened to me. Lepus saw… their sister…? Felt guilty about it. And these, like, mechanical spider things… messed up their eyes. Then the two of them decided to run.
[i can't show you the card in this thread because it ruins my continuity :T
also, the "like how there was another you in the Realm" gets a reflexive face.]
I feel like I shouldn't have heard that. Lepus is going to kick my ass. [a beat.] Anyway, I can't spend all my tickets on trading cards. I got a rad book.

The staff did tell me to be sure the Nightman was "always watching," so yeah, I think the shadows are... like... an extension of him probably.
--Oh.
[He shifts slightly to pat himself--he digs into one pocket and pulls out the familiar locket. HE IS A NORMIE.]
The other ones got the goods, I think.

no subject
[ he has friends outside these two. incredible. he's also immediately looking away when lup mentions the notes ]
It's that journal I told you about. [ wow Jason's room is fascinating... he's gonna look around it ]
no subject
He looks sidelong and pointedly at Cloud, but he seems very slightly amused. Then he looks back at Lup.]
I didn't see them, but Cloud mentioned it. [Looks sidelong at Cloud AGAIN.] About two or so days ago. [Tch. He does sober a tad.] I trust Aquarius.
no subject
she's bemused? quit looking around the room you weirdos.] I also do. Just so uh, so we're all aware. All of them, actually.
[yes, even lepus]
I have a copy in my room, if you want to see them, but uh, it didn't tell me much.
no subject
I didn't get to tell him every thing in them. We got... distracted. [ so jason definitely should look at the copy and don't LOOK at him. anyway; ]
I don't think Aquarius is untrustworthy. [ it's an important note. ] Thought it was... interesting enough that it mentioned wedding planning, though.
no subject
He also sort of looks away now. IT'S FINE.]

[she says, very loudly, in response to jason. it is vaguely reminiscent of a like, OBJECTION. but he does come back, and she makes room for him.]

Why is one of them sexy. Wait - from the gift shop?
