Secret moonlight trysts on the rooftops. Could they be happening on YOUR home?

[jason listens, exhales a sharp breath through his teeth. being forced to regularly question your reality is exhausting and terrible, but he feels an even stronger sense of camaraderie with seifer, knowing he too experiences this.]

Well, as shitty as it probably sounds, I’m glad to know it’s not just me dealing with that crap.

[it makes him feel a lot less alone.]

Is that where you were before you got yanked here? A mental hospital?

[firacrux]

[Yeah, it sucks, that's for sure. Seifer's just made daily routines to try to remind himself that, as far as he knows, this is currently reality and he's not insane. It just takes a while to ground himself every day totally fine.]

Heh, yeah... fucked up but I hear you. Guess it's always better when you're not the only one losin' your mind.

[He feels much the same. The world is a little less lonely this way.]

Not that I know of, but... [A vague gesture that he realizes later Jason can't see.] Drag your sorry ass out of a fountain, confused in the middle of fuckin' winter and you're wearing scrubs? Enough to make you wonder if you haven't lost a few months or years of time. Wouldn't be the first time.

[scathefires]

Yeah ... that’s definitely the kinda thing that would make you question whether you were missing some memories. I guess it helps that this isn’t my first rodeo.

[wonderland hadn’t convinced jason he’d lost his grip on reality entirely, only made him a little more prepared for the nonsense here.]

Losing time - is that something that happens a lot for you?

[firacrux]

What, waking up in weird fountains on new worlds a typical day for you?

[He has to make it funny, it's the only way to handle topics like this.]

Mm, side effect of some shit I dealt with back home. Ain't as bad here as it was, mornin's get away from me sometimes.

[He hasn't really admitted that to anyone, though he wouldn't be surprised if Nida hadn't noticed anyway. It's not like Seifer can tell when he's spaced out for an hour and didn't even notice time slipping past him.]

[scathefires]

Nah, not in a fountain. Last time it was a weird place called Wonderland. Trust me, it was no picnic.

[do they have lewis carroll books where seifer and nida come from? does that reference mean anything?]

Y’know ... I’m helping Nida out at the dojo most days. If you wanted something to do to keep mornings from getting away from you, I can always fit in a little more sparring.

[firacrux]

With a name like that you'd think it'd be the best place to be.

[They have their own storybooks. None that match those of the most common form of Earth, however.]

I might take you up on that but I got my own routine to deal with it. Change too much and I'll screw myself up again. Gotta keep that balance y'know?

[scathefires]

Yeah ... I get that.

[routine helps with feeling in control, which is an important life boat when everything else feels out of your control.]

Well, offer’s good any time. Doesn’t have to be morning. Let me know, yeah?

[firacrux]

[Yes it does. Especially if you've been living by military regimen for the vast majority of your life. He needs it. Living day to day without a routine would break him.]

Sure thing. Afternoons are beat up Nida time. He might be willing to spare some time after.

[He glances over, shoving Nida playfully. Add some two cents here brother.]

[skyward_eyes]

[Ask, and you shall receive. He offers an obviously fake snore, like the two of them were clearly boring him. Which wasn't true. He'd been listening intently. Just... didn't want to interrupt them. At all. They needed to connect in their own way. Then he smiled at Seifer, chuckling aloud so Jason could hear it too.]

Afternoons are get beat up by Nida time. But yeah, I can spare time whenever you two need it. In fact, perhaps we should vary it up. Jason can have some lunch time beating you up, and I could use that for watching him beat you up.

[scathefires]

Or maybe Seifer should try taking both of us on at the same time. [a slight grin can be heard behind those words.] Never hurts to practice for when you’re outnumbered.

[firacrux]

[Rolling his eyes, Seifer gave Nida a gentle push. How dramatic of you, Nids.]

He wishes. Don't listen to him any time he bests me is luck and that's it. [Seifer snorts. But at Jason's suggestion his mood darkens slightly.] Got plenty of experience with that.

[A little moodier than intended. Being outnumbered and outmatched was the name of the game back home.]

I could take you both.

[He adds after. If he had his sword he'd really be dangerous.]
