Or don't. I don't care."

FIRESTARTER: oh hey, nice segue.
FIRESTARTER: so speaking of warped
FIRESTARTER: my mind definitely is.

[iamverybadass]

Demonspawn: What are you talking about

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: that's what distracted me.
FIRESTARTER: that must be my first real memory before i died.
FIRESTARTER: because i definitely don't process things that way anymore.

[iamverybadass]

Demonspawn: Where are you?
Demonspawn: This seems like it would be best discussed in person.

[ A minute passes ]

Demonspawn: If you are willing.

[mind_blown]

[he's left on read for a solid 5 minutes.

but after that, jay drops a location pin for him.]

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon doesn't waste any time heading there once he's got the location. He's careful to make a little noise on his approach to avoid startling Jason. ]

Jay?

[mind_blown]

[he looks... less than thrilled, but it is what it is.]

No need to make yourself known, kiddo.

I'm not that wigged out.

[iamverybadass]

I was only being cautious. I have had memories myself that left me..."that wigged out".

[mind_blown]

I appreciate it.

[he sighs.]

[iamverybadass]

... I am sorry that you recalled something like that.

[mind_blown]

... It was going to happen eventually.

I guess it was on me to realize something was off.

[iamverybadass]

It's still unfortunate.

... Would it change anything if you'd noticed before?

[mind_blown]

Probably would have freaked you out less.

[he can joke at the expense of his own misery. it's fine.]

[iamverybadass]

That sounds like a problem to blame the producers for.

[ Was Jay expecting him to take this anything but seriously ]

[mind_blown]

[he can take it seriously, jay will try not to.]

I'm with you 9 times out of 10. Probably even 99 out of 100.

But I've got Eris Alert. I know what normal minds look like.

Problem is, we've got so many crazies here, it's easy to forget.

[iamverybadass]

Really. And how many minds have you looked at other than mine?

[mind_blown]

Trade secret.

[iamverybadass]

I see.

In any case, I would not compare you to the other crazies. You are flawed, but you...try to work around them. Demanding your space when you know you cannot handle a conversation, for example.

[mind_blown]

A very positive way of framing that, thank you.

[iamverybadass]

It's the correct way to frame it.

[mind_blown]

You can't have forgotten the drawbacks of that.

C'mon, Talon. Buddy, you've already ran face first into my issues.

[iamverybadass]

Because I ignored your request to be allowed space.

Of course I haven't forgotten it, but we addressed that problem already. Does you recalling the source of it mean I should be upset about it again?

[mind_blown]

[the smile slowly drops from his face, replaced with something a little colder. and he slowly shakes his head.]

You know... I never asked you. So maybe you don't know. Maybe I just assumed you did, but all you were doing was being a kid trying to react to an adult losing his shit.

[a pause]

When did you think I got possessed in the house?

[iamverybadass]

Not a kid.

[ And definitely not pouting!! His expressions tightens up while he thinks back for a few moments ]

... When we met on the stairs. While I was trying to avoid a few different groups that had all shown up at once.

[mind_blown]

... Nope.

That was all me. I didn't actually get possessed until after God killed me. And if I let myself remember that properly, I definitely would have killed her five times over by now.
