THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.

It's all darkness.

The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.

There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.

So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.

And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

Something like that.

[he steps back, sighing in frustration.]

Just one of those days.

Could burn down the game tower instead.

Could do that.

Maybe I'll try in real life. I could probably sweet talk Hood into allowing that one.

I'd help with that one.

Give in to your destructive impulses.

Oh, I'm being corrupted. Aren't you stealing ZRAEL's image, now?

Well, I am a corrupting influence. That's what I do, encourage people to act their worst.

Somehow I'm not expecting you to be able to sell me on "kill everyone in the whole world" so you've got a high bar to jump.

[ funny jokes. ]

Unfortunately, I'm still limited by a moral code.

Which is a shame. But not "kill everyone in the whole world," like you said.

[he raises an eyebrow]

And are you trying to relate to me?

Oh, no, you're so unknowable and mysterious and we have nothing in common at all, so surely that's out of the question.

[he laughs]

Oh, this is that ongoing drama.

If I had my way, I would've ended the whole thing. My hands of it and moved on.

None of us are comfortable with it, just one of us's got enough attachment. And he gets veto power.

I'm not a fan of the new regime over it. And I'm not the only one.

[ rollinggggggg her eyes ]

I meant that we're both sad and questionably alive and prone to doing deeply stupid things out of self-loathing, but sure.

[he's dumb when it comes to personal feelings, but he shrugs.]

That's the thing.

I'm trying to tell you to not do the 'I relate to you' bit. I don't care.

You won. I don't particularly like you, and this is gonna be another disappointment like all the other ones I'm slowly, painfully remembering.

[ probably has leaned against a wall by now, just listening to them.

but. ]

Please shut up.

[ nods. ]

Hm.

Nah.

Sides, traipse around a bit more. I'm sure you'll both feel better, won't you? Maybe get a few more scratches and extricate yourselves from somewhere you don't belong.

[ shoots at him again.

(like, intentionally missing, and also a rifle is hard to aim one-handed anyway and she's injured, but.) ]

[well, it's not like he dodged, so of course,]

So... what, exactly, was the point of that?

She's right that you're insufferable.

So catharsis, probably.

[ tiredly, leaning her head back against the wall again; ]

Spite.

[honestly he's about to say something, but he's getting knocked out again.

but a much more injured Jason behind him, in... normal clothing. But his freshest injuries seem very-- reminiscent of the injuries that had healed on the Bad Jason. Just freshly bandaged.

Still, without a word, he's just gonna grab him by the collar.]

Spite's fair.

Oh, hi, Jason. Red Hood? Jason?

I think he really needs a nap.

Jason's fine.

And yeah, he needs a nap.

[he looks at Cypress, and shrugs]

I can't heal anything-- but I can bandage.

Obviously.

[ glances at him--

and immediately notes the injuries, eyes wide and obviously a little distressed. she pushes herself up, a little too quickly, leaving her rifle on the ground. ]

Ah, careful with your arm—
