Is uh, this thing on?
[ Jason stares uneasily into the screen, eyes flickering from side to side back to device rapidly, almost as if he’s afraid he’s about to be ambushed at any moment. ]
I’m— Jesus. Fuck. I’m actually not Jesus, but I'm lost, and I know this is gonna sound crazy, but is any of this real? I’m not on shrooms, I haven’t done anything lately, and— Jesus.
[ his breath speeds up rapidly for a few seconds, before he finds his zen and calms down. Think of it as facetime, Jason. You’re using your iphone and talking to people and this is perfectly normal. Act natural, and nothing bad will happen. He cracks a small smile at the screen, although the warmth doesn't reach his eyes completely. ]
Sorry, let me start again. I’m Jason, and I’m a little lost.
[ a beat ]
Okay, really lost. And please don't give me the crazy purgatory talk again.

[ he says with only the slightest bit of sarcasm there... he could be a superhero. who shoots arrows.
... stranger things have happened ]
Do I have to call you that, or do you have a name? Even a fake one?
no subject
He does feel a bit bad knowing Jason's name but not giving out his own. But there are very good reasons for secret IDs.]
I'd prefer Green Arrow for now. It's a mouthful, some people shorten it to GA.
no subject
GA then. I just wasn't sure if that was— [ real? ] an inside joke between you and your friends or something.
no subject
No joke. [Well...] Sometimes, it's a joke. Mostly for people who doesn't like me very much.
no subject
[ yeah, as far as code names come... ]

There are no superheroes in your world?
no subject
None that I know of, but I'm from the west coast. We don't get many vigilantes out in LA.
no subject
But that nails it. They're not from the same world.]
No aliens, or metahumans either?
no subject
[ wha...? ]
None of those either, but I guess if aliens did exist, they really wouldn't make themselves known.
no subject
Well. Why wouldn't they?
