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

[he tugs a knee into his chest.]

Oh.

I guess we wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea, yeah. Jaybird it is.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin rests a leg across his knee, casual. Nostalgic.]

Almost feels a little weird callin' you that now.

Remember when we sparred on the roof your first day here?...

[mind_blown]

That was a dumb idea on my part.

But it was fun.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Smirks,]

Yeah. It was.

Crazy asshole like you, learning to climb before you could walk - I had to know what you were made of.

[mind_blown]

Don't get caught up in nostalgia.

We also drank up here, the day I ended transferring all my points to my brother like an idiot.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Snorts,]

What's wrong with some nostalgia now and then?

[mind_blown]

I guess that's fair, as long as you don't get stuck there.

[he considers for a moment]

You taking one of those cheaper memories?

[gigadevilbreaker]

Yeah. You know me: when have I cared about hiding anything?

[mind_blown]

Hey, they're your memories. And makes it easier for me to be nosy.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Like that's new. You already got one of my memories beamed straight into your head anyway!

[mind_blown]

I know. You didn't even get mine sent to your head. It was one of my more badass memories.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Now who's the showoff.

[mind_blown]

I don't get memories like that all that often. So what if I wanna brag a little bit? Usually they're pretty terrible, or neutral.

Me and Talon did the calculation the other day.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh yeah? What's the final tally?

[mind_blown]

Talon's got a slightly worse ratio. but he's 5 memories ahead of me.

I can easily make it up.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He snorts at Jason's cavalier remark, but he quickly becomes contemplative. Considering how distressed Jason had been about his state of mind in these memories...]

...You don't take these memories alone, right? Even if they're private, you-- take'em with Talon or something?

[mind_blown]

Sometimes. But usually I take 'em alone, yeah.

[he wouldn't seriously put his brother through his memories all the time.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Carefully, he ventures,]

That-- doesn't seem like such a good idea. Considering...

[mind_blown]

... Talon has his own shit to go through. I'm the adult. [he can't put that on him-- he's always regretted it when his memories turn south with Talon around.]

I lived through it once, I can live through it again.

[gigadevilbreaker]

...I didn't say you had to do'em with Talon.

[Just, someone. It didn't even have to be Griffin. He fidgets a little, obviously not comforted by the idea of Jason living through his crappy excuse for a world again.]

You said these memories put you on edge. And... you didn't survive all of them.

[mind_blown]

... You want me to take some with you?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[S...hrugs, awkwardly trying not to sound pushy.]

Just. If you wanted.

[mind_blown]

... okay.

[he considers, and then checks his points. If he spends for just one, he could be fine... theoretically...]

The lack of games and that scar bullshit screwed me on having spare points.

[a glance back at him]

Don’t let me steal your show, though.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He relaxes again when Jason agrees - every time, he expects him to push back against the idea, so when he doesn't... well, Griffin's relieved, and thankful.

But - he flips his phone in his hand, catching it precariously over the 12 storey drop - he slams his thumb on the Point store. Bets placed...]

...Here goes nothing.

[Well. There's no way he could've survived this memory, right?]

[Summary:
- confronts this mad scientist in his lab
- apparently the Order wants to take over the world by harnessing demons
- then he gets impaled and crucified
- having a demonic arm really doesn't give you regeneration or enhanced durability, and he doesn't have stabheals. this will kill him!!
- the scientist wants to experiment on his arm next. peak super-villainy]

[mind_blown]

[he’s watching the memory for a moment— but almost immediately turns to start watching Griffin, once he realizes that he’s walked into some sort of a trap.

He doesn’t strictly need to see the memory, not when he can hear it, and can hear bones and blood against steel.]
