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...

[ 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—

Yeah, no need to rush.

[he approaches, pulling out some gauze from his leather jacket's pocket. The other Jason's left behind. Or... just gone? hm. point is, he's not a factor now.]

Not like you could've known.

[ nnnnooo this is fucked up, backing away ]

No-- I'm fine, I--

I'm sorry.

[ this is like a guilt and low self-esteem convention huh ]

[it is something, Jason holds his hands up, placating.]

It's fine. That's what he does. I'm used to it at this point.

[ watches him for a long moment, uneasy, but just takes another couple of steps back, further into the hotel. ]

... I'm fine.

[ remembering before what she said about doppelgangers— ]

You're the true Jason?

[he sighs, and backs up.]

Basically. A little rough around the edges after another mutiny attempt.

[ exhales, slowly. ]

... so what should we do?

Did we sort things out here...? The flowers are dying back, anyway.

[he looks around, and then shrugs, tossing the gauze to Shrike as he does]

Slowly. Might see a little impact from that topside, but honestly, I'd be surprised if you could tell the difference.

It's the other flower-- the "Aconite." That one's outta control, still.

Ah, I can help take care of that then—I think.

[ she takes the gauze, and sort of—motions to Cypress, and when she continues, it's addressing her: ]

I can get you bandaged up, but I didn't want to presume if you were up to keep going or not, but if you are, we can keep sticking together...

... I'll come.

Well, let me see to that injury, then, and we can be off.

[he offers a thumbs up.]

You might get kicked out early. Doubt Hood's gonna want people stomping around, and I'm not inclined to argue with him.
