Day 305 : MISTLETOE BOT MINGLE
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!

Chapstick stations will be available.]

"That's because you come from a time when everyone is horribly blinkered," Jack says dryly. "Luckily, I think you'll find most people are far more understanding here. Certainly, I can't think of anyone who's had an adverse reaction to seeing my boyfriend and I together here - whereas we used to get all sorts of looks back in Cardiff."

Maybe that will help convince Kanji that what he feels is not wrong but just natural - and, in Jack's opinion, to be celebrated.

"Actually," he says, on a thought, "have you met a kid named Nico here? The two of you might find some things in common to talk about."

This is a lot to take in. Boyfriend? Seriously? This guy? When he hears about guys with boyfriends he expects somone like his Shadow acted; over the top, a crazy stereotype. It's hard to process and he can't quite make it make sense. And Nico? They're friends. What's that supposed to mean, stuff in common? Not... Not think kinda stuff, right? No way.

"Yeah, I don't... I... That is..." He's not good with words, and he never has been. Not in situations like this where he's flusteredand confused and doesn't know what to think about everything.

	Hey, Jack is - or at least the persona he projects is - an over the top, crazy stereotype! Just perhaps not quite the kind you're thinking of. He frowns as Kanji stumbles over his words, trying to follow where his brain's going with this, and failing. "You know him already?" he hazards, because he thinks that's a part of what the kid's trying to get across. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nods awkwardly. Like he said, not good with words. He wears his heart on his sleeve and when he does manage to say things they're totally sincere. It's just the problem of getting to there first. "Y-yeah, we're friends." He doesn't think he's ever had this long a conversation about this subject and he still half expects it to turn unpleasant soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, have a chat with him about this," Jack tells him easily. "I think you'll find he'll understand more than you expect."

He's trying not to give away everything Nico told him, because that's Nico's secret to tell, but trying to do everything he can to get them to talk to each other. They might not actually be interested in one another - especially if this kid's thing actually turns out to be just girls dressed as boys, but he figures any kid that age who's interested in something society doesn't think they should be could use a friend who's going through the same thing.

"Seen anyone here you've found yourself interested in?" he asks casually, partly to see if Kanji's interests might be expanded beyond girls who dress as boys.

"Huh?!" Cue the panicked flailing. Romance ain't exactly on his mind in prison and did he not just hear him say he liked someone at home? "What the hell kinda question is that?!"

As for what he likes specifically he really couldn't say. He though he liked guys, then Naoto proved that wasn't always the case and it confuses him. He knows he likes Naoto because she's smart, and the Detective Prince, and mysterious and cute and that's enough for him right now. He might not be sure about himself but he's damn sure about her even if he'll never get up the courage to admit it.

	Jack's eyebrows go up again, amused. "You could be here for a good long time," he points out lightly. "You want to spend all that time alone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2015-02-15 05:08 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, first up you're wrong 'cause I'm totally gonna bust outta here. And second, dude, still, what the hell kinda question is that?" Still yelling, which is how he does panic. Seriously though what the hell? Why would romance be on his mind, he's got better shit to do with his time. Like knitting or punching things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack really, really doesn't get why this is a strange thing to ask, but he lets it go in favour of addressing the kid's assertion that he's going to escape. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to get out of here?" he asks mildly. "You're aware this is a completely virtual environment, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2015-02-17 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, it is? Sweet!" He had not realized that and actually it makes him a lot more confident about the whole escaping thing. Virtual worlds he can do. Granted this isn't quite the kind he's thinking of, but he doesn't know that. Can't be harder to figure out than the TV world, right? And it's a hell of a lot less confusion.

	foreverjack 2015-02-21 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that's a different kind of response to that one! He kind of wishes everyone could embrace the idea so easily, instead of freaking out about it. "Have to admit, that went a lot more smoothly than I anticipated!" he remarks, inviting the kid to elaborate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2015-02-21 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Uhhh," This never gets any less weird no matter how often he explains it. "At home me and my friends go into the TV and rescue people. It's kinda a long story. But the world in there, I dunno, I guess it's real but it's kinda not, too. It gets created by the person there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-02-21 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	It's not that he doesn't believe the kid - hell, he's seen some really strange stuff in his time! - it's more that he doesn't get what he's saying. "You go... into the TV?" he repeats, trying to work it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2015-02-21 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, there's this world in there with Shadows and Personas and stuff. Look, I dunno how to explain it, usually Teddie handles that shit, okay!" A pause, then, "Uh, Teddie's this talking...bear...thing..." Why is his life so hard to explain? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He tries not to look too amused, he really does, but it's hard. The TV part, okay, he could accept that, but the talking bear? It's hard not to snigger at that.

Still, he has long practice at glossing over things like that. "Well, sounds like you have a very interesting life back home! I guess the most relevant part is: how do you get in and out of the TV world? Could you shed any light on how to get back to the real world here?"

	stupidcuteshit 2015-03-12 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, he doesn't even really look like a bear all that much. At this point they mostly just don't worry about it. "Oh, that's easy, we just go back thought a TV. Oh, wait, I guess that wouldn't really work here, huh? Well, I mean maybe, but I ain't tried it yet so I dunno." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You never know - in a virtual world, the key could be literally anything! The last time, apparently, it was glowing open doors, but we suspect that was deliberate sabotage by someone else. The normal key is likely to be something a lot less... likely."

He frowns, inclining his head. "Exactly how do you 'go through a TV', though? Does it just melt around you or something?"

	stupidcuteshit 2015-03-13 12:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Huh? No, you just climb in. It's, uh, probably easier not to overthink it." He feels like he's leaving something out. Oh yeah! "You gotta have a Persona though, or somebody with a Persona's gotta put you in. So it probably wouldn't work here at all anyway. Damn." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-03-14 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	Jack shakes his head, laughing. "Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about, but yeah, it doesn't sound like it'd have much relevance here, unfortunately! "Anyway. I should probably go, before another bot comes and find us. Interesting talking to you, though!" And kissing him, but he's trying to be all grown up and tactful and not mention that part.
