He didn't feel too good that the guy who took a cool 3 grand from him didn't remember his nameText from Jason Sure I can help with that let me finish up my infirmary duties. The request sounded simple and non life-threateningly enough, he saw no reason to say no. Plus money.

Text from Mark Top secret window repair* Mark would be waiting there with a rather generous wad of five-hundred bucks perched on top of a Mcdonald's box. He seemed however, more focused on his espresso machine, despite having forgotten to actually put a cup underneath the machine, just watching the thing spit liquefied espresso all directions.

In about five minutes Jason has turned up in a pair of his old pants and shirts (complete with holes from various missions), forgoing the hunter coat as he felt this would be more DIY home improvement stuff. Not that he had done much but hey he was moon and this was a thing they did from time to time. It took all of five seconds for the moon to notice the whopping five hundred dollars on top of glorious junk food he hadn't had in years. Hot dam if he was gonna be paid this sort of cash he should volunteer more for this. Seriously what was Marcus thinking passing this up!? "I-is -t-that..." He wanted to confirm that it was indeed for him encase this was some sort of cruel joke, but he too noticed the machine leaking coffee everywhere. "U-uhh I'll go grab a cup!" He tore his sights away from the holy grail of money and food and went to go find said cup.

Mark was still just waiting there whenever Jason finally found a cup, patiently watching the last vestiges of the machine spit out consumable caffeine. There was practically everything in the office except for a cup, and Jason would have to do with either an old beer bottle or a cup noodle container.
He was about to hand the money over to Jason when he suddenly stopped mid-track, wad of bills in his hand. "If you tell anyone, I swear to the Jedi high council that you will pay for your crimes bro."

Why where there no cups here?! At least he was able to make do with a cup noodle container but, really, someone should put some Styrofoam ones here. With his task done, placing the thing on top of the gigantic mess of lost caffeine which made his task seem that much more pointless, he turned to receive his prize from mark when he stopped, leaving the poor guy hanging. "O-oh" The sudden warning left Jason confused. "O-of course, I wont tell anyone." Because paying anything to Mark was expensive and he would avoid it at all costs.

That seemed to satisfy the Death Assistant, also because there were so few gullible Hunters left on the island who weren't entirely crazy and it was Mark's job to take advantage of them.
"Okay this way," gradually, Mark would trek his way out of his junk heap and out the door. He didn't bother locking the door on the way, instead, looking warily left and right at every single corridor intersection as if something was going to blow up. Nothing did of course.
They finally reached the main Death division office, which was surprisingly empty with the exception of Oz and some other Death trainee.
Oz immediately stood up the second Jason and Mark entered, leaving them without a word. The trainee was currently just staring right at Jason and Mark, somewhere probably around the age ninety-percent of the island still thought Gale was at.
"Okay," Mark took out a felt marker from his lead's empty desk began to draw the wobbliest line on the ground. It was a terrible four-sided shape, with a bunch of ridiculous curves and a single loop flourish, and went in a rough estimated six by six square foot space around the third occupant in the room, "can you build like a window that big around, like super childproof glass and stuff, don't worry about doors we can figure that out later." He handed Jason the money.
Theoretically it wasn't a window repair, if it needed four walls of construction.

Jason followed Mark out of his complete and utter mess of a room, a little concerned that the coffee was gonna destroy some of the discarded electronics scattered around on various heaps of junk. (thats if they weren't destroyed already, he couldn't tell what half that crap was anyway). Hopefully he wouldn't be around for the resulting explosion. Watching Mark proceed towards their destination was like watching James bond on a mission to infiltrate a top secret base riddled with traps to steal top secret documents, except that person wasn't James bond and instead was a scruffy looking guy in a helmet who hadn't bathed in years. And also had no idea what he was doing. The reached the destination, and Jason had a miniature heart attack. s**t he should of realized they would be fixing Cael's windows, considering he loved breaking them. With bodies. But he wasn't in. Thank god he wasn't in the room. Two other hunters were, one who immediately vacated the area and another who looked looked less like a hunter and more like a child. ...Why was there a kid in Cael's office?! He wanted to ask but Mark was drawing on the floor. He knew it was supposed to be a 'plan', but to him it was more a abstract figure of what could loosely be interpreted as a plan. Honesty the kid could do a better job at this. "...Uhhh..." He took the money wordlessly, looking down at the finished product and still couldn't understand what he wanted. Was this even feasible!? He ran a hand through his hair. Okay, think logically, start from the very start. "...Do we have the materials? Like..hammers, screws, glass panes...all that stuff?"

Mark scratched his head. "I dunno, usually Marcus brings his own stuff. Don't you guys like, keep that stuff stocked somewhere? There's probably a lot of it left lying over from people trying to reconstruct those houses down by no-man's town."
The Death assistant suddenly shifted his position to the doorway. "No wait, you stay here and make sure nobody leaves the office, I'll go get them. Nobody. You're fired if anyone leaves."
He left in a hurry and it was just Jason and someone who was looking an awfully lot like a Gale-sized version of the Death lea-
-"Hi," Said the kid rather glumly, "you're the new babysitter, I guess."

Jason was having that moment where he realized he failed at being a moon because he didn't know that moon division had a area dedicated to storing building equipment. But how would he know?! It wasn't like anyone told him this stuff he was busy stitching people up and bandaging and hopefully not changing bedpans for the hundred time that week, he wasn't a builder! "O...okay t-then." He replied, looking dejected as if he just failed some test, watching the assistant rush out of the office. He caught the basic idea, don't let anyone leave. Which was weird because there was only him and the kid, who looked really familiar... He turned towards said kid, and for some strange reason had to suppress the urge to hand him a mission report. He also felt a little faint looking at him. Strange. "Hello" he responded, detecting a hint of sadness. "E-er, he s-shouldn't take too long..." 'Shouldn't' being a very hopeful term here.

The trainee stared at Jason oddly, as if judging him, just slightly. Actually, there was a lot of judgement going on. "You're not seriously going to build a wall like that are you - because that would mean you were crazy."
Apparently he had something against crazy people.

The child's judgmental stare and questioning of his sanity had Jason laughing quietly. He had spent much time questioning his own and that of others on this island, and with how half of them acted he doubted many of them had any sanity left. But he wasn't about to freak out the child with such questions. "No, I couldn't build a wall like this." He gestured to the scribbles on the floor. " B-but I might be able to work out something more feasible, depending on what Mark brings back." He glanced at the wall, trying to figure out if he just had to cut a small hole or knock the hole thing out, while pondering why the kid was here in the first place. Wasn't he a bit young to be a trainee? He wanted to ask, but then everyone had their own past to bear, some heavier then others, and he didn't wan't to upset him. "W-whats your name?" He said eventually, opting to start with something simple. "Mine's Jason"

Maybe the trainee could smell the weakness on Jason or something, or maybe they were just in a bad mood, because the answer to the name question was a flat, "No."
A moment of awkward silence.
"I mean, if you're going to keep me here, against my will," they finally elaborated, "we don't have to pretend to get along."

"No? Thats a nice name-" Jason began before he realized the kid had just refused to give it out. "W-wait hold on-" He stared, listened, then stared some more. "...H-hold you against your will?!" It was clear he didn't understand what was going on. "W-what do you mean?!" Was he just referring to being held here in the room?

"Forget it," the trainee, instead, turned to look outside the window. Unknown to Jason, this was probably the sixth or seven person he had to explain this to and he was just not having it. He actually looked kind of sad. "Must be nice to actually leave this place."
