EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAKnWy0wdjg
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."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAwaF8qf6k4h
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqC1CnFBbrB
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
11Please respect copyright.PENANALF1tsGcNWa
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAkiAplQFo5R
JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAf8i7Q8sxgv
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUhFikMP6MU
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAYF9xOu67AQ
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAmHXdlNCyZL
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAuhVO9Fb75n
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
11Please respect copyright.PENANASp5QtLvKf5
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGWLKA3NWPd
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANADmqvoT5EZM
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtROZwAPlAY
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.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj6LppEncMP
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAS4jZ5FEVF4
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
11Please respect copyright.PENANALvr9ocJQnk
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEmGk23VGcg
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANABQxYImBeBQ
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4PH5dv8E7z
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtP8HfJ85mK
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.

FADE OUT.
