It was a pretty simple matter, all things considered, for Jason to get an early release note from his mom. A simple something something doctor's appointment. Normally there's be a bit more resistance, or at least more aggressive bargaining from her on this sort of thing. But at the phrase mental health day, she'd just given him a tired smile and a you and me both, kid.

Her job, with it's better pay and big opportunities, didn't seem to be doing much for her. Maybe he could swing by the house later and do the dishes for her, maybe clean the floor or something. He could fit in a few little chores before the dorms got locked down.

But for now he had other business to attend to. A big stupid apology for his big stupid feet involving a big stupid gift bag. Needless to say, loitering in front of Meadowview waiting for Tilly to answer his text made him feel like an idiot, which could also be considered a penance of sorts for messing up her leg.

Tilly’s leg hadn’t required any stitches, and honestly, it was one of the furthest things from her mind after that horrifying board game that she had been sucked into. That had been honestly the worst thing that had happened so far this…month? Oh God…all of this crap was happening in the month…that…was honestly just too much for anyone.

She was feeling more than a little scatterbrained as she walked out of school, and honestly nearly walked past Jason without even really seeing him. Freezing, she turned and blinked stupidly.

“...Jason? What are you doing here?”

There was surprise in her voice, and also a little wariness. “...Is something wrong? Do you need help with…with something?”

She hoped not. She really hoped not. But if he did…she’d do what she could.

"I'm just here to give you an apology and also," Jason held the giant gift bag out to her, "...bring you a get well gift." Inside was one of those Squishyfellows. He had it on good authority that they were the best thing ever. So when he saw one at the store earlier, a blue unicorn one with soft, rainbow bangs not unlike hers, it seemed a safe bet.

Infinitely better than something like flowers or chocolates, which could be misunderstood. Even if she hated it, she could just turn it around and just have a very squishy pillow or something.

"How's it healing?"

Oh.

Not only was he not here because there was an issue…he was here to check on her and make sure her leg was okay and…

And to give her a gift…

She pulled out the very round, very soft…very…her unicorn and hugged it tightly for a moment before reluctantly putting it back into the bag and grinning. “Thank you. You really didn’t need to but…I’m absolutely not saying no to something that cute and soft so…”

The smile faded a bit and Tilly reached into her pocket and withdrew the shiny die she had received after surviving that hellish game.

“You had mentioned a game the last time we hung out…did um. You get one of these too? Because I’m. Pretty sure I ended up with the same thing, and just…want to make sure.

There was a bit of satisfaction in seeing that Tilly liked it, abd relief that she accepted it for what it was. It's pretty much exactly how Jason had wanted this to go. It was enough to have him smiling back at her, more and more confident in her as an ally.

Right up until grimaced at the die in her hand. "Yeah, that's the one." He pulled out his own for comparison. "It messed me up for a couple days. I think I..."

He turned his face away, suddenly interested in the school architecture, but the back of his neck had a telltale flush. "It was like I was some kind of vampire..."

She paused and stared at him for a long moment and then gave an almost shaky laugh. “Yeah I. There was this giant bat, not a part of the game but just…this giant a** bat that attacked and bit me and honestly, I was having the same thoughts. Like when we had our tussle…I was kind of mostly getting over it? But like…the sun was awful and everything was making me mad…I thought I had just gone crazy.”

The fact that Jason was here saying the same thing…different circumstances but. Still.

“...Kind of glad that if I was crazy, I wasn’t the only one. Do you wanna walk home together? Or, where are you headed? Do you want to come over?”

Slowly he began to nod, "Mine were a bunch of small bats. They showed up in several squares, first just noisy, then swooping, and in the last area with them they were biting. Maybe whatever or whoever made them and your giant bat are related?"

Interest in the topic allowed the embarrassment to fade and he was able to look Tilly in the eyes again. "When you get your ring, there's upgrades the magic cats can make to it. One of them lets you looks at a database full of enemies and another full of allies you can contact? But I think there might be a lot of senshi magic attacks similar to what was in that game. Mostly messing with your head, or temporarily painful, only sometimes leaving real damage too. Especially if they're a higher rank."

Considering her offer, Jason nodded, "Yeah, let me walk you home and we can talk about it. I can't uh, stay long, I need to do some stuff around the house before I go back to Hillworth." Another small grimace for the school. "Can I carry your bag for you?"

Tilly shook her head, laughing softly. “I can carry it myself, but I appreciate all of this gentlemanliness…but Jason,”

She looked at him and her expression was half amused and just a little worried. “I don’t want you to feel bad. I wanted to fight just as bad as you did, so there’s no need to bend yourself over backwards just because I got hurt in a spar…would you expect this of me if and when I get the upper hand one day? I don’t think so…and it’s not doing me justice to think I’m weak just because I’m a girl. We’re in the same position in all of this…and it just shows me where I need to get stronger. It’s really okay.”

Reaching out, she lightly punched his arm and snickered slightly. “I do love the unicorn though so I’m not going to give that back in the name of girl power, but…I don’t need to be babied, and I know you don’t either. It was a learning thing, and I’ve learned…and I swear, I’m going to kick your a** the next time we fight. That’s a promise.”

The idea of getting her ring upgraded was one that she wanted to touch on, but honestly, she was still embarrassed that she still hadn’t gone to her Wonder that…she was far more glad of the chance to avoid the subject…but.

She would do the thing when she could…that sounded awesome.

While they walked, Jason went silent and troubled for a little while. FInally he just came out with it all, "It was....it's not just because of that. Anyway, there was a lot of blood, even if it turned out not that bad, if I see a friend bleeding that much I'll still feel bad, alright? But this was..."

His face scrunched. "My head was really messed up from those bat bites. I um, I wanted to beat people up. I wanted you to get hurt. And I don't think," he sighed, "I don't think that voice was real at all, I don't think I had a choice in wanting. But I did have enough control that I could've just not called you out for a spar while I was like that."

But instead he'd indulged that feeling, spurred on by embarrassment of himself and frustration over his brother. "I don't think you're weak, and I'm trying not to hesitate or get weird about fighting you, but there's fifteen years of never thinking I would ever, possibly hit a girl. I'm trying, and I keep overdoing it to try and compensate."

It was embarrassing to admit, but it was about her, it was effecting her, so Tilly should know what's going on.

“I get it. I wanted to fight too…I really get it. I’m not angry, and I forgive you if that’s what you’re hoping for. I forgive you willingly and I just hope this doesn’t make you start holding back…because as I think things have proved…that would be worse all around and wouldn’t do me any good in case I got into a real issue with someone who actually wanted me dead or something.”

Tilly fell quiet for a moment, considering her next words and finally gave a loud sigh. “Look. The issue here is that we’re mucking around with things we don’t understand. One of the books I read talks about magic always having an aspect of ‘********’ that comes with it…and I feel like…that’s what we’ve been faced with in terms of the game and the bats and the leaves with the teleporting. That was strange and I’m not sure I got to tell you about that one yet but. Like. You walk into a leaf pile and end up somewhere else. The city is super…messed up right now…and I can’t blame you for falling victim to it. It’s ******** because of the magic. And that’s my diagnosis.”

"I won't hold back," he reassured her. "I'll keep trying and messing up probably until it's not a problem anymore, but I won't be holding back. And I'm glad you forgive me, but when I apologize, it's because I did something wrong not because I want to exchange that for forgiveness." Still, he was really glad she forgave him, though she hadn't seem to particularly blame him the first place. "We should probably be clear on that because I have a feeling I'm gonna be apologizing a lot in the future, too."

Teleporting leaves huh? And Tilly cursing while he tried not to give her a scandalized little look. "I should probably look around and try out some of these patches of muckery. And do the dice game again. Get used to strange things hitting me when it's not in the form of another person attacking me."

Speaking of training, he brought up something he'd been considering, "My brother and my cousin, they're Lysithea pages too. But they're kind of....unmotivated when it comes to training. I thought we could all just join a sport and get better that way, but the resistance has been pretty loud and I think made things worse, really. But I saw this...like, what do you think?"

He pulled out a flyer that read, in bright flaming allcaps:


DON DIABLOS' ASSKICKING
SCHOOL FOR KIDS WHO
DON'T FIGHT SO GOOD

PostPosted: Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:07 pm


Tilly had things to say. Reassurances to give him, but when he handed over the flyer, her eyes grew wide and she looked at him in some confusion. “...Are…you serious? Is this something serious?” It sounded like a joke…or…like some kind of a trap. What the hell was a “Don Diablos” anyway…sounded like some cheesy wrestler. “If you think it’s something real…like. I’m willing to give it a try, but I feel like we should be on our guard?”

She shrugged. “I’m not sure why but it sounds super fake to me and it might be like…some undercover scheme from the bad guys? Luring in unsuspecting Pages who don’t fight well…like. I’d do that if I was a bad guy. It seems like a great way to make sure that the competition couldn’t get stronger…but. I’m down if you are, Jason.”

"I looked him up, he's like a local celebrity of some sort? A retired wrestler who's been on community service for over a decade, after he did a bunch of outrageous stuff. He's got bad anger management and there's a trail of property damage so long it became a meme," he explained in a reassuring voice. "I think, he's the last person who would be asked to be an undercover anything."

Of course there was the whole, then they must know people would think that so that's actually what it is, wheel of logic, but that sort of thinking was the type that never ended. "But...yeah, it'd be good to have you as backup to try it out. They have long sessions available for Saturdays if people can't make it for the three days during the week." He was sure he could convince his mom, especially when she'd been so easy about things today. Lucas would be an entirely different situation, and he'd probably need his back up for convincing Lena.

“I’m game. Sign us up. If it’s a trap we’ll just have to give them Hell…and I don’t see that being too much of an issue.” They made quite a team…and though they hadn’t fought anything together besides one another…she knew that she could trust Jason. Trust Halle. And that was what really made a good fighting partner was trust. At least that was true with other things, maybe not just fighting but.

Whatever.

“How about we scope it out and if it works for us we can convince your brother and cousin? I’m a reporter so I’m pretty damn good at writing stories, I can sell it if we think it’s worthwhile…and I doubt they’d be able to refuse.”

She grinned and shrugged. “We’ll get them training no matter if they like it or not.”

"You are?" Jason gave her an impressed and maybe overly grateful look. "Then I can leave the convincing to you." He seemed a lot more worried about that aspect than the potential of a trap for wimpy pages. He wasn't bad at convincing people himself, but people in this case didn't consist of his brother or cousin.

He gaze a relieved sigh, followed by a low laugh, "Thank goodness I went to you first."

As they walked, he took note of the street signs. It wouldn't be too far a walk from his own neighborhood.

"You want to make it a bet? If it's a weird undercover thing or not?"
