the buddy cop adventures begin (morning, day 2)
[ When Jason wakes up, it's with a start. His sleep after the Ranger had come to visit was fitful, and (unfortunately) devoid of the sexier dreams he had been hoping for that night. He sits up and rubs his head with a sound of distress, murmuring a few fucks and god-fucking-dammits for good measure, because even if Jason isn't the smartest guy, he knows that last night wasn't a dream. All that shit the Ranger had said sounded like a joke, but if she was serious? Fuck.
He puts on his pants (thankfully), and rubbing his hands through his hair again, he knows what he needs to do. Naoi was innocent, and really? If this shit was for real, he was going to need someone to help him out. Someone smarter than him, at least. And while the people he'd met yesterday were nice, they were also mostly women, and he didn't want to get them involved, and that Bigby guy? Well anyone that dissed Bud was downright un-American.
So after pacing around his bedroom, he leaves and goes to Naoi's instead. Naoi is probably awake by now too, so Jason opens his door urgently. ]
Hey, Hibachi! Fuck, man, you gotta listen to somethin' real quick... I'm bein' completely serious here.

[ He shakes his head and waves his hands, clearly forgetting that that still isn't correct ] That ain't important right now! Nagoya, I go some serious shit to tell you about. Did the Ranger come see you last night?
[ But, as the situation catches up with him, he looks at Naoi and his tone of urgency abates as he motions vaguely at him ]
—Well, go ahead and put your pants on first, though. It ain't that important.
no subject
All right, what's all this nonsense about? No one came to visit me last night.
no subject
[ He rubs his hands through his hair and paces nervously as he thinks, but luckily, thinking prompts him to shut the door. ]
Okay, so this is gonna sound crazy, and I know it, but she was really serious about this, so if it was some kind of practical joke? It ain't funny. But she said that there are murderers here, and this is some kind of game... [ Jason shakes his head, since it's disgusting, honestly ]
no subject
...What? What, like, "we've been sleeping in the same cabins as murderers" kind of murderers or the "there are murderers loose in the woods, now try to make your way back home" kind? [he doesn't seem too bothered by this, though. where he comes from, murderers are kinda a dime a dozen since no one ever really "dies"...]
no subject
[ seriously naoi ]
no subject
[it's a good thing his innocence was already proven, wow]
no subject
Okay, you know what? It doesn't matter. The point is, apparently I'm the detective in all of this, so that means I can look at a list every night and figure out what another person's role is. And you— [ He points at Naoi NOT LIKE THERE'S ANYONE ELSE... ] You're an Innocent. I know that much, since I picked you first, Nagoya. No offense.
no subject
—No, whatever, don't answer that. So you're in charge of finding murderers or something?
no subject
[ Oh, no, wait, he said don't answer it. So Jason keeps his mouth shut, but then nods. ]
Yeah, that's what it sounded like. I just pick a person off the list, and I know if they're innocent or not.
no subject
Okay, what do you do once you've found someone who isn't innocent?
no subject
[ He nods ] Look, I know I ain't so smart, so me bein' Detective? It's not the best fit. So would you help me? If I can figure out better people to ask about, that'd be better.
no subject
You made a good choice! I already have one person that's ridiculously suspect. The girl with the pink hair. [naoi no]
no subject
[ that's weird in itself to jason ok ]
no subject
no subject
[ PINK HAIRED MURDERER sounds legit ]
no subject
She was more concerned about a lack of shoe racks, rather than the supposed fact that she arrived at the wrong place.
no subject
[ He makes a pfft noise, shaking his head ] You're a high schooler, so you don't know better yet, but between you and me, Nagoya? That's just a chick thing. Well not all of them, but I've definitely, uh, seen [ re: banged ] some girls that are like that.
no subject
It was more than just "a chick thing". Even Yui isn't that obsessed with her clothing. [well to be fair megumi wasn't either, naoi is just making it seem 10x worse in his head bECAUSE SHE INSULTED OTONASHI.] You should keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't do anything suspicious today.
no subject
[ it still sounds normal to him ]
Tell you what, I'll see if I can find her, and if not, just tell me what she's up to today? I have a feelin' you're probably going to follow her anyways.
no subject
Fine. If you by some miracle find someone more suspicious, go ahead and check them, but I think she's the most suspicious right now.
[and then he'll corner jason hours later to POINT AND FLAIL AND ANGRILY WHISPER ABOUT HOW CREEPILY SHE HAD BEEN STALKING AROUND THE CABINS]
no subject
[ uNLESS HE DIES RANDOMLY wouldn't that suck ]
no subject
Good, you had better.
no subject
Okay. [ He nods with a sigh, looking around with his hands on his hips. ] Okay.
Well, that's all I wanted to tell you, so uh. I'll leave now, I guess.
[ And he does turn to leave, but at the door, he pauses and looks back as an afterthought to add: ] Oh, and thanks Nagoya. For believin' me, I mean. I wasn't sure if you would.
no subject
Well, there isn't any reason not to. This seems a little complex for you, anyway. [NAOI...] Just be careful with who you tell. —I mean, you're being cautious already, which is good. Still, if you aren't careful you'll wind up being the next one dead.
no subject
Yeah, I will be. Thanks, though, for worryin'. I ain't the best one for this, but I'll do what I can.
[ Then he turns and leaves, raising a hand as a small goodbye wave
forever
nah just until they talk about vampire samurai ]
