[Jason is in one of the plush chairs away from everyone else. The red hoodie is familiar, but he has a hat on with the brim pulled extremely low and the hood of the jacket up over it.

He has a book open in his hands. The front cover is titled, Persuasion.]

[decaptych]

[ Just looks at him reading from the floor.

Nerd... ]

[unrecked]

[STOP he is.

The hat and hood lift slightly. It looks like there's stuff written on his skin, but he's got a lot of shadows over his face.]

You gonna make it, big guy?

[decaptych]

Unfortunately for you, I might just be able to keep it together long enough to keep annoying the shit out of you.

[ Tired, and still mega-sad but he has brief bouts of feeling a little determined... which in this case is apparently, living to annoy Jason (alleged). ]

[unrecked]

[This amuses him enough that he lifts his head a bit more. One corner of his mouth is turned up slightly. The shadows that recede below the cap and hoodie make the words on the top of his throat clear. They disappear down and continue traveling up over his face.]

And here I thought you were going to go easy on me. Didn't take a trip to "Hole," did you?

[decaptych]

[ Jason your throat... Aikawa doesn't have words on his THROAT but he does on his currently-sleeved arms, and he has thin wound marks slashing all over his neck so we're kind of matchies in a distant way. ]

I've had a long day, I'm not gonna go easy on anyone.

...We went into a stupid hole because of a chicken, but it wasn't the Hole. Nah, it was some island...

[toesies]

[She glances at the title.]

... Ohh, I loved that movie! Is the book just as good?

[oh n]

[unrecked]

[OOF. He lifts his head marginally to give her acknowledgment.]

Book is always better than the movie.

[toesies]

[she makes a little noise like ehhhh debatable]

Have you already read the book before, then?

[unrecked]

[Judgement. A little. What a mom thing......liking the movie more sometimes.]

Yep. It's a classic.

[toesies]

It's a Jane Austen book. Of course it is. [She has mostly watched the movie adaptations...] ... You should tell me about. What does the book do better than the movie? And just saying "everything" is not an answer.

[agleam]

Jaaaaason. We have smores.

[unrecked]

[THE SMORES, WHY. He will not say how exasperated he was seeing Rupert race in at the last minute with them.]

Why...? They're only good if you roast the marshmallows over a campfire...

[agleam]

Nope, they're definitely good like this! The restaurant got them all warm and melty!

[he has also never had smores before, so he can't compare it.]

[unrecked]

[Rupert...]

No, it definitely needs the smoke and the crispy outside from the fire's flames.

[But he holds his hand out. He got one from Bradley, but nevermind that. In this thread, he is asking for one.]

[agleam]

[handing him a smore!]

Look at you, a beggar and a chooser...

[with a laugh]

[battling]

[ Hands him a s'more (wiggles it in his vision). ]

[unrecked]

[

...Takes the smore.]

Thanks.

[battling]

[ he makes. Such a face at this. ]

Tell me your favorite thing t' eat.

[unrecked]

[He is quiet for a long moment which probably means he's thinking.]

A bacon double cheeseburger.

[battling]

[ His cat ears perk up. ]

Sounds delicious. They put bacon on that?

[technocool]

[ she just wants to harass jason too ig ]

You really are a "tough one who's secretly a nerd" aren't you?

[unrecked]

Nope, not me. [He is.] I'm just pretending to read so no one talks to me.

[He lifts his head just slightly to watch her face. The HA HA HAs on his throat and jawline flicker from green to red.]

[technocool]

Failed step one.

[ so dryly. but like also his new body art(?) turning colors on him gets her attention like nothing else and she just

frowns. hm. well, that's fucked up. ]

[unrecked]

[He failed, yes.

He watches her, but whether or not he looks away is hard to tell with the cap and the hood.]

A little hard to succeed when there are a bunch of other people in here. Tsurumaru going to be looking for you again tomorrow?
