[October 15, 2020. Time: 10:34 am. Second Morning that Saki's been in the hospital. Jason stirs. He's still quite hurt, so no sudden movements.] [Start] * Jason does stir. And he groans, groggily opening his eyes to take in the ceiling. * Saki is also still quite hurt, what with the surgery and all. She doesn't make any sudden movements either. But she is awake and bored out of her mind. She's flipping through the TV channels, as usual, looking for something interesting. Y'know, with guns and car chases. [She finds reruns of the Saint. Yay Roger Moore. There are guns and cars.] * Jason turns his head, slowly, at the sound of the television, so it's lying on its side. He blinks at who he sees. "Saki?" he asks dryly. * Saki starts to settle down and put the remote aside, until she hears Jason's voice. She jabs the mute button with a finger. "Hey. You're awake." * Jason smiles a little, almost as though it hurts to do so. "Guess so. Never got hurt by water before." * Saki chuckles, ignoring any pain it might and probably does cause. "Yeah, tell me about it. Too bad I can't say I've never been shot before. How you feeling?" Oh, been shot, just... * Jason switches tracks, and he says, ruefully, "Like shit. You?" Same. ( He still hidden behind a curtain? ) Did they kill off all those bastards? (I assumed he could see her.) ( We'll say a nurse moved it in the night. ) ( K ) * Saki nods. "Yeah. Every last one of them. I could tell." * Saki tilts her head towards Jason, her face serious. "Thanks for coming for me." * Jason looks like he's about to say something, then Saki interrupts him, and he smiles again. "Yeah... someone had to." A lot of people would disagree, but I'm glad you came. * Jason closes his eyes again. "I'm glad I did, too." ( I got drunk that night. Someone had to do that too.) * Saki runs a hand through her hair awkwardly. "I've got a lot of stuff to talk to you about." She sighs. "Stuff I should have told you a while ago." * Jason blinks, his eyes opening. "What?" he asks, worried. ( "I gay and have 3 adopted kids." ) ( "I'm not Japanese. I'm French-Asian! ) ( "I am unicorn, half!) * Saki rolls onto her back, staring at the ceiling. "I'm not exactly a normal human being." ... Never woulda guessed. (Ooh, I was right!) * Saki laughs. "Guess it's pretty obvious by now, huh?" She adopts a more serious, and almost scared expression. "But yeah, I've got powers of my own. I don't know how much you've heard, but they're connected to these tarot card things... There's like 70 of them or something... Anyhow, I've got two. Kind of a unique case. One's the Devil, the other is Death Reversed." ( That get through? ) (Yes.) ( And change "..." to "-" ) * Jason looks at Saki blankly for a moment, then he says, "What? You mean like those fortune telling cards?" * Saki nods. "Yeah. And some of us can use them to tell the future. Me, I never figured it out." Okay. So what's the big deal? From my Devil side, I've got fighting powers. Pretty handy, right? My other half's a bit different, though. * Jason nods slowly. "Never saw you pull out any powers." Oh. Well, I'll show you some time. * Jason smiles a little. "Cool." But more importantly, from my other side, Death Reversed, I've got a body that doesn't change. So that means you can't lose an arm or something? Well, I can... It'll just grow back eventually. * Jason whistles. "Wish I had that." And I don't catch diseases for more than like a day or two. Yeah. * Saki takes a deep breath. "And I don't age." ... Really? * Saki nods. "Yeah." * Jason peers at Saki. "Then how old are ya?" * Saki calculates in her head. It takes her a moment. "Ninety-two." * Jason processes that. "Huh." Then he grins. "Sure don't look ninety-two. Pretty bloody awesome, if you ask me." * Saki chuckles. "Heh. It's not all it's cracked up to be. I could do with a few more years. Have to keep getting new fake IDs since everyone thinks I'm a teen." She smiles at Jason, though, looking rather relieved. * Jason looks all offended. "Hey, I figured you were at least twenty." Nah. Almost though. [There's the sound of some conversation has a few people walk by the door. "So they're getting artificial limbs." "Ouch." "Yeah, well there's reasons you shouldn't let yourself get possessed for a thrill..." The voices fade.] Whatever. Point is, you don't look that young. * Saki nods. "Yeah, well, that's not going to change any time soon." * Jason doesn't seem to mind. "You look good." Thanks. So you have powers and live forever. * Saki nods. "Yeah, that's about the size of it." * Jason smiles. "Okay." Probably could die, though. But I'm not too eager to test that. Yeah, let's not. [Meanwhile the Saint finishes up. It switches over to some variant of Antiques Roadshow.] * Saki doesn't mind. It's on mute, and she's not even watching the TV anymore. "So, listen... They got all those ghost guys that were after me, and that demon, but there's still one more out there that I gotta kill." * Jason blinks. But I thought you said they were all dead. All of the guys who were after me, yeah. But not the bitch that sent me to hell in the first place. * Jason nods. "Gotcha. Need help?" * Saki nods. "As much as I hate to admit it, yeah. It's Kahlya." Never met her. Bitch works - or worked, I dunno if she still does - with SAB. Looks like a kid, has a scythe, shoots ice... * Saki frowns. "And can survive a bullet in the head, apparently. * Jason blinks. "Fuck." * Saki nods. "Yeah. I shot her in the head, but she teleported or something before the explosion hit." Yeah. Okay, I'll help you do it. * Saki smiles. "Thanks." * Jason 's eyes flash, and a tiny bubble of flame appears a foot from his bed; it disappears before it creates any smoke, though. "Still got it," he says with a grin. * Saki chuckles. "Heh. Awesome. I'm jealous, really. All I do is turn into a night light." I'm thinking of asking Maggie to help, too. You cool with that? Sure. It's your kill. * Jason grins. "And if you think about it, I turn into a night light, too." * Saki laughs. "Yeah, guess so." ( Guess we're about done? ) (Sure, if you want. ^^) ( Well, unless Jason has more to say. ) (Not really. He can't move. ;_;) (If you want to fastforward to some time when he can, we can do that, but I assume no.) (Nah, it's okay. ^^) ( Yeah, I'm out of stuff to say. ) [End!]
