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

[he couldn't. but also, he'd rather not think about that possibility.]

Yeah.

[a pause, and then gently]

You're fine, now, though.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Well, except for the arm. The arm's not fine. The arm's still gone.

He still wonders what finally took it.

But for now, he clasps a hand over the one Jason had on his shoulder. Grounding them both.]

...Yeah. I'm all right.

[mind_blown]

...

[a pause.]

...

[a glance at their hands, and then back to griffin.]

Guess both our worlds suck.

[gigadevilbreaker]

...

Well, that's why we're such badasses.

[mind_blown]

Or why we're both messed up in our own way.

You sure you want me to take a memory with you? It could be bad.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Potato, potahto.

If your baby brother can handle it, so can I.

[mind_blown]

Don't compare yourself to a baby.

[but he will press purchase.]

Last chance to get the hell out of dodge.

Keep in mind, my last memory had my mentor losing his shit on a pile of corpses, so you know.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Rolls eyes, also corpses aren't scary]

You keep hyping it up, it's gonna end up being a memory of you in diapers.

[mind_blown]

Mildly embarrassing.

But alright.

[he presses play.

Griffin will have to observe from his phone, because he just. can't... do the big screens. refuses to.

and he's quiet as it plays.]

1/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[just

what



what was that




are you SURE EVERYONE IN THIS VIDEO IS HUMAN]

...I think I prefer the corpse pile t'this freak.

[mind_blown]

[he's agitated, especially in how his leg is tapping, and the annoyed frown on his face.]

How the hell have I not killed that son of a bitch yet.

This is a serious failure on my part.

[irreverence is a way to cope]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Clicks his tongue, visibly irritated for Jason too]

Why the fuck hasn't anyone killed him? If there was ever a sick bastard who needed to be put down, it's 'psycho dinner party torture clown'.

[mind_blown]

A mystery for the ages.

[he refuses to appear agitated, or bothered. but his grin is a little sharper than it otherwise would be.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

Even the worst demons just kill you. They don't play mindgames and set up death traps. What the fuck.

Congrats, your world is officially the worst.

[mind_blown]

It's the joker.

[tap tap tap before he finally stands, and starts to stretch.]

Everything's a joke to him.

[gigadevilbreaker]

This is the guy that killed you?

[The look on Griffin's face very clearly screams, WHY ISN'T HE DEAD, HE SHOULD DEFINITELY DIE PLEASE]

[mind_blown]

One and the same.

Can you see why beating his face in with a crowbar might feel a little unsatisfying?

[there's a breath of a laugh, and then he leans against the wall.]

Guess that's one Talon will get eventually, too.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Scowls,] If at first you don't succeed - there's always more bones t'break.

...If that's the class of psychos you have to deal with, no wonder the kid's always wound up so tight. Who the hell makes a 13 year old fight those freaks?

[mind_blown]

... Yeah, that bothers me too.

[but he sounds sort of resigned.]

But pointing it out to him would just piss him off.

[gigadevilbreaker]

He needs t'learn to relax a little.

[Griffin casts a glance over at Jason, over by the wall]

...What about you? How're you doing?

[mind_blown]

I'm great. Love it when the Joker makes an appearance in my memories.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[(x) Doubt]

You wanna blow off some steam?

[mind_blown]

[he considers that-- and then pushes away from the wall.]

Not a bad idea.

Think we both could.

But one more thing...

[a pause]

While I'm thinking about it, don't call Talon by his real name. He isn't like me, he hates it.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin stands up and cracks his shoulder joint]

Then I'm sticking with 'Crewcut Junior'.
