EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
13Please respect copyright.PENANA9HrHFyA0kX
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."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAUlU0wZhtPU
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAzMYVq2w39I
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
13Please respect copyright.PENANAmAdlKklSKe
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.

JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAWiIP6hEInM
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
13Please respect copyright.PENANA3jNDtNn8Jq
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAY8j0JeQh8o
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
13Please respect copyright.PENANATjxp3ssG9I
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Ncg9uivL
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQfRjR5Yq9y
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
13Please respect copyright.PENANADnb7FZ82QY
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2IGszrqzL
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
13Please respect copyright.PENANATvzaFxa1FE
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.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAodNObFwCDH
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAo20Z5IVBPB
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGAUj8R9bH7
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAJgJhAAjWpT
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
13Please respect copyright.PENANASmNvw7KBRR
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAWKpzybVC7w
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
13Please respect copyright.PENANAF9Z4eeSKZw
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAOAu5QcBy4n
FADE OUT.
