EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
77Please respect copyright.PENANASPgL58w3ip
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."
77Please respect copyright.PENANAMcpKBh4yTN
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAFL9Zyh0yDS
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAI0W13veBp5
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."
77Please respect copyright.PENANAhIzeLAL18q
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAoYKUPqlQJQ
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
77Please respect copyright.PENANAtxKaxfZaqZ
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
77Please respect copyright.PENANA2YSSKrmJaq
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
77Please respect copyright.PENANADic1PB6mZF
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAJooAbJW8CY
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
77Please respect copyright.PENANA3jjmvicdVm
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAgP5pXdxrDx
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
77Please respect copyright.PENANA3FOZg2whjV
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAKuxg9IKWKU
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAfD7cgAJl2i
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
77Please respect copyright.PENANADaWnMALwKb
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
77Please respect copyright.PENANAPkzeiFqBiy
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAgQts8rAslp
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
77Please respect copyright.PENANALxAHSt7sqx
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAzxw0NaIdg2
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.

FADE OUT.
