Summary: Dani encounters a mildly drunk, Spongebob playing, Jason in the rec room. They start a conversation in which the topic quickly becomes Pell.


Jason: ::Jason sat starring walleyed at the television in the Rec Room, a couple of empty beer cans sat scattered on the coffee table around his propped up bare feet. He was a little. no really just a little, drunk. Well, drunk enough that he was playing the Spongebob video game for PS2. Where the fuck it had come from, he had no clue, he assumed it was Jenny's or something. He'd also assumed that if he turned on his system, that last game he'd played would still be in it. Wrong. Fuck it, he was playing anyhow, lazily and half interested while he pulled another cheap beer from his pile on the floor. Open. Drink.:: ... shit I died.

Dani: ::Dani'd been outside just wandering around and killing time for a few hours, but that had gotten boring. So now it was time to go inside and find something else to do. Her hopes weren't that high. She'd forgotten how dull things in the mansion could get at times, especially when one didn't have a crazy roomie to keep them on their toes or any guys to help them move beds. With that depressing thought she entered the building through the garden door and went straight in to the rec room only to find... possible amusement.:: Are you seriously playing Spongebob?

Jason: ::Jason glanced over his shoulder and held up the beer can as though it was explanation enough, and grinned a bit. Awesome, a human being. Since Pell's Birthday he'd been busy as fuck once again with legal bullshit, and had managed to learn how to properly use internet chat rooms and had been passing time fucking around in anti-mutant yahoo groups just stirring up trouble. It was addictive.:: Yep, it's a pretty fucking shitty game though. What're you up to?

Dani: Oh you know... A little bit of being bored... A little bit of nothing at all. ::Dani said while inviting herself to go sit.:: So if it's so shitty why are you playing exactly? ::She eyed all the empty beer cans.:: Wait. Stupid question.

Jason: ::Jason grinned that stupid, yeah I’m fucking drunk and it's obvious and I’m doing something stupid and enjoying it fo no reason at all other than I’m drunk.:: Heh, yeah, you got it. ::He saw her eyeballing the empty cans and shrugged a little.:: Haven't had much to do this week, Pell's been all holed up in her room and wont talk to me for some reason. ::He frowned a little, and for the billionth time this week wondered exactly what he'd done this time.::

Dani: Oh? ::Dani asked curiously. She peered at Jason.:: Lovers quarrel?

Jason: Yeah, because we're such a fucking couple. ::He replied sarcastically, his tone mildly sour.::: Tell me the blonde hair hasn't affected you that much. ::And quickly enough, he was smirking a little and taking a drought on his beer. The brand didn't even matter, he didn't have enough money for anything decent enough to care what color the label was.::

Dani: ::Dani just shook her head.:: One of these days you two will ‘’fess up to it. Then I'll get to laugh and say I knew it all along! ::The sudden urge to just take his beer from him and dump it on his head just for the hell of it hit her, and she considered it, but at the last minute she changed her mind.::

Jason: ::Jason just laughed a little, and shook his head.:: Yeah, it's gone to your head man. We both know that firstly, Pell's sick and I'm not, and B, we'd probably end up strangling each other to death and we'd be found in like a rigamortis stiffened mutual death grip. ::Spongebob plunged to his death on screen as Jason's attention wavered while he spoke.::

Dani: Blah blah blah. You say it but I just don't think you mean it! ::Dani was utterly unconvinced.:: Not to mention, Pell would just phase and therefore you'd be dead and she would not. ::The look on her face plainly said "DUH!"::

Jason: ::Jason blinked and gave her a half dirty look since she was after all right.:: shut up. ::And finished off that can, setting it randomly on the table and staring at the screen with an expression that looked mildly too annoyed than he should have been. Damnit, human beings bringing thoughts in his head he was looking to avoid for the time being. Fuck::

Dani: ::Dani fell silent for a full thirty seconds.:: So... You want to go bug her? ::Her being Pell, of course.::

Jason: ::He glanced at her sidelong and shook his head again.:: Tried already, she just yells go away when you knock on the door. ::He sounded discouraged and decided to drown himself a little more in cheap beer as he reached over and groped on the side of the couch for another can without tearing his eyes from the screen.::

Dani: And you listened? ::Dani raised an eyebrow.:: You give up much to easily. ::Of course, she was one to talk. She hadn't really made any effort or progress on Project GPOOHR (Get Pell out of her room) since Pell's birthday.::

Jason: If I open the door, she throws knives at me. ::Jason raised an eyeball at Dani and gave her a what the hell would you have done expression.:: I mean shit, I'm used to her being mildly crazy and violent towards me, but fuck if I’m going to push my luck and end up with a gaping bloody hole in my head or some shit.

Dani: Excuses, excuses. ::Though one might note Dani was making no move to go see Pell.::

Jason: Yeah, you go ahead and just bring her down here then. ::Jason popped the top open and started on his,.. uh,... hold on. He counted the cans. Ninth beer.::

Dani: All right. ::Dani stood up with no intention of going to try to get Pell out of her room.::

Jason: hah, let me know how the Hatchett enjoys taking the knife out of your forehead. I'm sure that'll perk up her bitchass day. ::Jason grinned up at Dani, game completely forgotten for the moment::

Dani: Psh. ::Dani waved it off with her hand.:: Pell has yet to implant a knife anywhere in my being. Besides. ::She smirked at him.:: How do you know she isn't just throwing knives because it's you?

Jason: ::Jason made a face at that, his lips going a little tight as he stood up and quickly moved across the room to switch off the PS2 without bothering to save this Spongebob file. He moved back across the room and stuffed his two beers left into his cargo pockets and shot Dani a hard glance.:: Well I guess we'll find out when you knock huh? I just remembered I gotta call Karen, don't bleed to death in the hallway or anything. Later. ::He stalked off. Fucking Dani was just screwing up his whole fucking head. He didn't want to think about this shit. For fucksake if she'd just answer his emails at least.... was she going to avoid him for two weeks every fucking time they fucked? What the hell was wrong with that girl? Jason rubbed a hand over his face as he headed up the stairs, totally brushing off anything Dani might have said as he was leaving, he hadn't heard her. No room in his head for other people's voices. Need more beer.::

Dani: ::Dani just rolled her eyes as Jason left the room. People were so damn touchy these days. Instead of leaving the room after him to go bug Pell, Dani went over to the PS2 and flipped it back on. It was time to play some games.::
