[ 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! )

[ For a second Jason doesn't do much of anything beyond basic human function. He breathes. He blinks. He sits there and probably sheds a few skin cells. But, then he sniffs and clears his throat before doing a there-and-back glance to the side. There's likely plenty he could say here. He could get annoyed. He could get angry. He could act like he doesn't know what Reaper is even talking about.

But, this is Jason. And in spite of pausing like that for the briefest of moments, he's still going to be very Jason about this. Reaper should really expect this by now. ]

Yeah, well. [ he leans his chin in the palm of his hand; an easy smirk curls up one side of his mouth, ] I'm not just some normal guy from California.

[ And, yes, he does wink after that. Eyyyy. ]

[Of course he should have expected it. And the annoyance that the other won't see on his face nearly leaks out from underneath it in the form of that odd, black haze.

God damn it Jason, is this a coping mechanism or something.]

When you respond to me like that, it's damn hard to see you as anything else but a hapless brat, you realise. [A low snort escapes him, and he eyes him a bit.]

You're familiar with Vaas. You one of his pirates, then? [It would explain his carefree attitude around corpses and danger.]

[ Why, yes, yes it is a coping mechanism. Thanks for noticing!!!

As much as he'd like to laugh off the comment about—yet again—being called a brat, he doesn't. Because the annoyance and disgust vie for attention first and ultimately win out. He is offended. ]

Fuck no! Are you nuts? [ He gestures with his chin toward the screen. ] All that vape shit getting to you or something?
