[unrecked]

[This is like being followed by a feral, stray cat who doesn't want you to perceive it, but who will tag along behind you at a distance anyway.]

You can't, or you don't want to?

[guestservices]

I mean, what incentive do I have to, anyway?

[unrecked]

There isn't really an incentive. It's more--you know, telling the alternate version of the person who was there with you... [gestures] what they were involved in?

Like, it's decency. Especially if that person was a kid.

[guestservices]

You do realize how these things go, right? Whatever happened to anyone in there—ultimately none of it's exactly pleasant.

[unrecked]

Yeah, no shit. I meant... what was the place like, the theme. Like how mine was an island and we thought we were being hunted for sport, only to find out it was purgatory.

That sort of thing.

[guestservices]

[they sigh.]

Wild West type of thing.

[unrecked]

[Pretends hugging never happened because this thread is earlier. Whew.]

I was a cowboy?

[guestservices]

[ :T ]

Yup. Talked in the accent and everything.

[jason doesn't remember it so lepus can make up whatever shit they want]

[unrecked]

[Actually, he can see himself talking in an accent as a joke and to be annoying.]

Like: For Lands sakes alive, I didn't think nar' one of you would end up dead.

[guestservices]

More like "For Whole Ass's sake", thanks to you.

[unrecked]

[LEAVE IT TO HIM TO NAME AN ENTIRE TOWN WHOLE ASS. This--cracks him up. He doesn't know the context right away, of course, but hearing Whole Ass...

He literally hasn't changed since he was fifteen, huh.]

"For Whole Ass's sakes alive, I didn't think nar' one of you would end up dead"? Whole Ass?

[guestservices]

Whole Ass.

[unrecked]

I'm the funniest person on the planet.

[guestservices]

And the most modest, I see.

[unrecked]

Absolutely. You already knew this, though, right?

[guestservices]

... Please don't talk as though we were friends.

[it's said mostly flippantly but there's definitely a hint of blerrghhrrrrghhUGH :T in there.]

[unrecked]

Oh. Sorry, sorry. We're not friends and haven't ever been friends in any way. My bad.

[They are fun to tease, no wonder young Jason did not leave them alone.]

[guestservices]

I'm going to cut off your balls and feed them to the shadows.

[unrecked]

[THIS IS FUNNY, but he tries to sound concerned. Sort of fails.]

Hey, hey. Buy me dinner first before you go getting that close to me there.

[guestservices]

[deadpan]

I'm already accompanying you to the library, aren't I?

[unrecked]

That's to make up for dinner? Sheesh.

[guestservices]

Dinner's pushing your luck.

[unrecked]

[He sort of throws both hands up in surrender and resignation as he leads into the library.]

I feel like a little kid being walked to the bus stop. [He glances back.] It surprise you any?

How big I got from being a skinny runt.

[This doesn't sound smug at all. It sounds genuinely curious actually.]

[guestservices]

[they pause because like, are you asking them to evaluate your tallness or buffness.]

Careful, the way you put that almost makes me feel like I need an adult in the room. Anyway, I am aware of the existence of something called puberty, actually.

[it is a little weird looking up at jason instead of down, even if they're not too chuffed about it because they know they're not a tall male in the first place. but yeah, jason sure did hit a growth spurt.]

[unrecked]

[Both. Evaluated him. (no)

This makes him laugh a little.] Sort of feels like I almost missed it. [He did mentally.

Which is why he is so immature.]
