[ The feed flickers on and there is a disembodied hand being held in view, waving in a friendly sort of way. Jason dips his face into view, he's grinning wildly; ]

Anybody need a hand??

[ He starts laughing as if the joke is the funniest thing in the world. Somewhere off-screen, Vaas can be heard chanting "Soylent Green is people!"

The hand waves again before the feed flickers off. That's it. That's the post. ]

( ooc: sorry. replies will come from both jason and vaas! )

[ Frowning, Vaas just stares flatly back at him. ]

Ears heal fast. Can't really see the scars. But on your nose? [ It isn't coincidence that he lifts his scarred eyebrow. ] Jason, please.

[ Lifting a hand, he taps at his pierced ear. His fingernail clicks against the back of the bullet that pierces it. ]

Besides, you gotta pick the right accessory.

[ Nothing's getting that out without taking his whole ear with it. And that'll be a whole other problem. ]

[ This is a weird conversation. Then again, most of the conversations he has with Vaas go some place he wasn't expecting. He's unpredictable and Jason never knows what's going to happen or what's going to come out of his mouth. Were the the sort to some sort of self-aware self-reflection, he'd realize that they have that in common. Jason often blurts shit out that doesn't make sense or has no correlation to what's happening. He'd see that they're more alike than they are different. And that's just something Jason isn't ready to face yet.

Maybe in time, but not right now. That's too terrifying a thought that his conscious mind won't allow it to happen.

So, he keeps this surface like it's meant to be, sniffing in a contemplative sort of way. ]

Don't think piercings are for me, man. Think I'd look kinda dumb.

[ Which is clearly the most important part here. ]

[ That provokes a bark of laughter from Vaas that dissolves into true laughter. He doesn't restrain it, lets it shift naturally from laughter to low, broken chuckles. ]

Jason... [ Snorting, he has to take a second to get enough breath back to talk. ] Jason. Hermano.

[ He leans into Jason's personal space, right up near his face so that they can see each other very clearly. ]

You look kinda dumb a lot.

[dudebro]

[ Wow. He's offended. Like, a lot. Jason's mouth tightens when Vaas laughs at him and doesn't get much better as he continues.

It wasn't that funny. It's not that funny because he knows what Vaas is going to say.

And there it is. Jason huffs and pulls back out of their shared space. Then his hand lifts in a bid to push Vaas away.  ]

Dude, shut the fuck up.

[shabby]

[ Unperturbed and totally unrepentant, Vaas laughs and steps back out of the way. The hand gets tossed on the table as carelessly as if it were a crumpled up paper towel. ]

Whatever you say, Jason.

[ He's rapidly losing interest in breakfast now that the excitement has died down. ]

I'll be in the atrium. If you don't pussy out of your training just because of a little death, meet me there.
