EXT. CABIN FEVER – EVENING
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFvZJAHd260
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."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAiK0s4ODRMw
K and A both glance at him suspiciously, already sensing something sinister.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAoGYXhWE2RT
K (dry)
"Define ‘errands.’"
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7yFj1HA6Kn
Jason smirks, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they start walking down the cracked sidewalk.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAr8JctGq9Vp
JASON
"First, the bookstore. Since you two keep complaining about my 'cursed' book collection, I'm giving myself a chance to judge yours."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAa1qczYXWKE
A (immediate excitement)
"You mean we get to pick our own books?!"
107Please respect copyright.PENANApRex0IBuzF
K (grinning with teeth, normal-sized this time)
"Finally. No more 'Twilight' for bedtime threats."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmXLY6ivfWj
JASON (mock offended)
"Hey. ‘Twilight’ built character."
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3OCjaWhfjV
K (muttering)
"It built suffering."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAoSJzjF1AFz
Jason shrugs, unfazed.
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7HIbBxM54R
JASON
"Second stop's the medicine store. My home storage is running low after all the crap lately."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjwcAq9wFa9
A (curious)
"You need a lot of medicine?"
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZTdrJNyyge
JASON
"You live with you two. You tell me."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAa8YOiXmSVj
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.
107Please respect copyright.PENANASRsQyZbqhC
K spins the toothpick between his fingers idly, casting a sideways glance at Jason.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGLL2iD7UVF
K
"If I find something particularly cursed at the bookstore, I'm bringing it back. As a gift."
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZAfodA3RjA
JASON (without looking at him)
"If you do, I’m making you read it out loud to A."
107Please respect copyright.PENANA1Uf3Vrnr9D
A (gleeful)
"Story time!"
107Please respect copyright.PENANAXY5fUb5fEW
Jason groans, pulling his jacket tighter around him like it could shield him from the inevitable chaos.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhXSIxxpnbV
JASON (under his breath)
"What the hell did I sign up for…"
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwkviaP65Rf
They keep walking, disappearing down the lively street, a crooked little trio against the neon-smeared dusk.

FADE OUT.
