EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P34WO1g4m
The trio steps out of the cozy warmth of Cabin Fever and into the amber-tinted streets. Jason stretches his arms over his head, a faint groan slipping out.
A hums a little tune, clutching a plastic bag with leftover pancakes, while K fiddles with a toothpick he stole from the counter.

JASON
"Alright, dynamic disasters. Meal's done. Now we’re running a couple errands."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswM9FtxdS4
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLvQb3Ulqx
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"

Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.

JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyaBv16Iac
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTqr04uInl
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRAYh1nicV
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNnu01YK6F
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvr48P5PDr
Jason shrugs, unfazed.

JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOKpy0CA4k
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG20SOoOdy
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQxE8uir8E
They turn the corner. Neon signs flicker and hum overhead as small shops and vendors line the streets, the city still a little restless after the HQ incident but trying to fake normalcy.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur5KgtTv4b
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.

K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDp2lkQjun
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeJtMv3EkL
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV2J0thSE0
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNVY0Ur5EY
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00rLYVPoLD
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.

FADE OUT.
