EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
140Please respect copyright.PENANAWYxdQmh0mZ
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."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAF0iYDng84G
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAUF1jySkKDE
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
140Please respect copyright.PENANATncP9z7hIl
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAxWGg3Q7oQe
JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAskaN7qwVHG
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
140Please respect copyright.PENANAQKxYirpFuR
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAG3RWvLJhsn
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ0Tx519RZ
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAkt9g5C3qMf
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
140Please respect copyright.PENANA00Ga8s39We
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
140Please respect copyright.PENANA5FFvktqfZl
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
140Please respect copyright.PENANArqMxCJGGOd
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAG0kfrES3xm
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.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAHDgEOmWzsM
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
140Please respect copyright.PENANANDnXPtkCff
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAfcpTJD4KyH
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
140Please respect copyright.PENANA6oZack30wj
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
140Please respect copyright.PENANAJSzZ2PGQfa
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAcTrI2J6GKc
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
140Please respect copyright.PENANAE01DovrE4G
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAWjgAx4LtFr
FADE OUT.
