WHO: jason + vaas
WHERE: eventually the food court
WHEN: fwd dated to feb 21
WHAT: some fucked up shit ( event )
WARNINGS: detached body parts, accidental cannibalism, general disgustingness and vaas comes as a blanket warning


[ Jason could claim that he lives a life of no regrets, but he definitely has some floating around in the back of his mind. It's things he doesn't take the time to really think about because they just bring up bad memories and his own personal failures. Definitely doesn't like to focus on that because he'd rather be a general Awesome Guy.

But, right now, he's actively thinking about how much he fucking regrets agreeing to some sort of training routine with Vaas. All because he had to ask about shit. And now this. He's tired as fuck and the last thing he wants to do while running on only a few hours of sleep ( because who the fuck can really sleep right now ) is deal with Vaas and his annoyingly chipper attitude.

And isn't that just something?? Vaas being the chipper one.

He's not really excited as he drags himself out of bed, his hair a giant mess and he doesn't even bother changing out of the dark cotton pants or shirt he slept in, and heads down to the food court to get some breakfast. Because eating breakfast is important or some other bullshit Vaas is spouting. Jason isn't so sure, he's not really listening to him as he shuffles along beside him rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. ]

Dude. Do you, like, ever sleep or are you always just running at eleven??

[ Maybe he finally has lost his mind. At this point, Jason thinks it wouldn't be a very long trip if he does. He's sitting here of his own violation, being damn near friendly with Vaas. And that's concerning.

Isn't it?

He blinks almost owlishly at Vaas and his stomach churns just a little bit. He doesn't know if he can believe that Vaas hasn't eaten human flesh before. He's taking this too easily!! But, Vaas hasn't been known to lie, so.

So. ]

Uh, dude. Seriously, you are basically a jungle savage. Like, almost, anyway. [ The Rakyat are more savages, he thinks, because Vaas does have different amenities spared around Rook. Why is this conversation happening??? ] I mean.

[ He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. ]

You're really chill for what's happening right now. You literally just ate some dude's fingers.

[ Vaas lives in the jungle and he is savage, he knows this, but the only jungle savages he's aware of are the Rakyat. And he is not Rakyat. Maybe he was once, but he's not anymore and just the insinuation that he still is causes his eyes to narrow in irritation. ]

Do not insult me, Jason. [ It's a little low, like a warning. They can call each other all sorts of things and Vaas won't bat an eye, but Rakyat is practically unforgivable. ] I am not like them.

[ Like a cloud passing over the sun, his mood brightens as he gestures toward the food. ]

It's meat, no? I ate all kinds of animals on Rook. You have to if you want to be strong. [ He rolls a shoulder. ] It's just meat. That's all. Think of it like that.

[ It's a reaction Jason notices immediately. Part of him wants to press on it like a wound, pushing and pushing until all the gross shit like puss comes out. There's so much about Vaas he wants to know and hates that he wants to know it. There's so much Vaas knows that Jason wants to learn and he hates that he wants to learn it. His life is a strange struggle right now and Jason is still happily living in some form of denial about everything. They might both be on different orbit paths, but they're going to cross each other in a fantastic collision sooner rather than later.

Still, in all of Vaas' ( albeit sometimes questionable ) knowledge, he doesn't think he can get behind this "just think of it as meat" thing. It's... pretty impossible. Even if logically it shouldn't be. It is just meat ( kind of????? ) but on some level animal meat and human flesh are vastly different things. ]

Hey, man, if that works for you, that's cool. [ He wets his lips and frowns a little bit. ] Just don't think that's gonna work for me. Like, it's a person, you know? Kinda weird.
