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.]

[skyagain]

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. ]

[unrecked]

[He points with his thumb at Cloud as if saying "see?" but in an agreeing this-is-shit way.]

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.

[evocationary]

[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?

[skyagain]

I can ask Shinobu what she got.

[ 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 ]

[unrecked]

[You, you thought this room was fascinating then, too, huh, Cloud.

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.

[evocationary]

[y'all

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.

[skyagain]

[ shut up don't look amused he's looking around because he hates this ]

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.

[unrecked]

[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.]

[evocationary]

[she - snortgiggles when jason just says it.]

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]

[skyagain]

Shut up.

[ TIRED, EXHAUSTED, he hates them both. but he's still grimacing about the journal somehow. ]

You're going to give her a heart attack. [ he gets the urge so he waits tho ]

[unrecked]

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.]

[evocationary]

Irrelevant!

[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.]

... Oh. Jeeze, you got a lot of them. [wtf] ... That's your family, isn't it?

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

[skyagain]

[ why is dick like this. cloud looks frowny pensive as he looks these over ]

Gift shop or casino?

[unrecked]

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.

[evocationary]

Oh. I got one from the casino. Huh.

[she does not laugh at baby jason.

... wait hold on] You - saw you in Lepus's memory? What.

[skyagain]

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. ]

[unrecked]

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.

[He glances at Cloud.]

I want to look at them later.

[evocationary]

[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.

[skyagain]

They're in my room, I'll show you later.

[ CONTINUITY!!!! also lup making a face makes cloud raise an eyebrow a little. girl. please. he's kissing you now, damn. ]

Wouldn't tell Lepus what you saw. [ to save her from that. ] What's the book do?

[unrecked]

What they don’t know won’t hurt them. [They are literally listening, Jason Todd.] Just don’t baby them about it, and you’re fine.

[He glances at Lup.]

[evocationary]

[don't raise your eyebrow she just gets skittish at the mention of other hers, okay, especially since she has! memories of them now! apparently!

anyway.] It takes away someone's balance and spatial awareness for thirty minutes, but uh, I'd appreciate you both not telling anybody that. Even at trial.

[skyagain]

[ hmmm. he nods ]

Can do. Not like I've told anyone what Jason's shitty dice do.

[ UNNECESSARY ATTACK? HE IS INJURED CLOUD ]

[unrecked]

[He balls his fist and socks Cloud in the arm because Cloud can’t retaliate since he is hurt. 🥺]

I’m not telling anyone. If they want to know, they can find out themselves.

[evocationary]

Nobody needs to know anything. I'm only telling the two of you in case I show up dead, because I will use this on someone, and I will make them have marks to show for stabbing me.

... Well, Harrow and Molly know too, but that's a given.
