Unknown territory, mixed information, and no weapons. What good is a blind sniper in a hostile situation? And don't tell me it'll be easier to scout with a network. That kind of bone-digging is more of the First Lieutenant's game, isn't it?

And no. I wouldn't have sex with my own clone.

Depends on how good of a sniper you are.

And if you're flipping out over all of that, I'm willing to bet you aren't that good.

[Or Jason is trying to be as abrasive as possible to push back just ... because that's what he does.]

No weapons? Get the hell out of there. I have no idea where you are, but that sounds like a good way to get killed.

... is there a clone of you where that would be an issue?

You got this far on your own, didn't you? You gotta be worth more than your weapons. What kind of soldier isn't?

[The kind that's literally about to go fuck himself he guesses.]

[hello unstoppable force, this is immoveable object.]

You'll have to forgive me, I'm only human. When I'm thrown practically bound and blindfolded into a place several hundred years ahead of my time, I tend to falter.

It has no bearing on innate skill, luckily.

We're both human.

[As if that's actually a thing that needs to be defined.

(Spoilers: it does.)]

So, let's go to a better question. What are you needing to kill? [A beat.] Or who?

I guess I could kill someone with my own hands if need be. It's just so...barbaric.

Unfortunately, yes.

Not real useful if there's more than one of them either. Choking someone out isn't gonna cut it when there's ten people with knives.

[the kind of soldier that hangs onto his sniper rifle like a security blanket]

Well, that's certainly affirming. I'll survive and adapt, as I always do. I just hate being inconvenienced.

[at this point, it actually does]

I was being to think you were some kind of omniscient creature the way you were so quick to condescend. Thank you for clarifying.

[:^)))))))]

Potentially, people. People with...abilities.

With ... abilities. Wow. That's both extremely broad and extremely worrying.

Are we talking aliens? Metahumans? Jeff Bezos?

And I hate having to wake up at the ass crack of dawn every day just to get at the hot water before the rest of my building does. We can't have everything we want.

[This is completely applicable.]

You're right, though I'm not in the practice of getting myself surrounded. I'm not so stupid to go for kills I can't follow through on.

[or letting his victim see him at all, really]

But let's say worse comes to worse. Any neighborly words of wisdom?

Hide. Run away.

Survival is more important than killing an enemy. And if that fails, pray they don't take you alive.

[Optimistic little bundle of cheerfulness isn't he?]

If only everything could have such a simple solution.

[the hot water........runs out????] It doesn't stay hot? Pretty poor baths, I'd say.

Why can't it? Either put up or shut up. Thought that was one of the first things you learn when you become a soldier.

—Well, I live in a pretty crummy apartment with bad plumbing that never seems to stay fixed for long. It's probably cursed. [He actually means it. There's an entire floor filled with witches and wizards, it's not hard to believe he probably pissed one off without thinking.]

[meta....humans??????? who the fuck is jeff bezos]

I'm not sure what you'd call them. The closest I've come to anyone close to having superpowers is a lucky grunt surviving bear attacks. Maybe someone eating parts of people and not deteriorating from it.

Right.

So, what's your deal with them? What's the aim? Why these types?

Or do you think it's all just cannibalism?

[ogata understands that not everyone can be a ball of sunshine and he appreciates it]

Live to fight another day. Simple, effective, though not something I'm unfamiliar with. It sounds as if you're familiar with capture, though. Practically friends.

[bigby pisses off three people before even walking out of his apartment]

You have indoor plumbing? I thought you meant communal baths. I'd say you're more blessed than you think.

Very much so.

[0/10 do not recommend.]

I highly suggest forcing them to kill you rather than being taken. People who are adept at torture ... hope you don't encounter them.

[he really, really hopes it's not all just cannibalism]

I don't like not knowing how to handle a potential threat. It's that simple. People I can handle. But people with wildly varying gifts? I doubt it'll be so simple to tell who's an actual threat.

[It wouldn't be a Sunday if he didn't.]

We used to have those too, a long time ago. [Like, 1800s-long-time-ago.] Being able to take a bath without worrying about slamming into an orc or having your toiletries stolen is...really nice, but still.

Huh, maybe ...

[Said like he's piecing it together. Maybe it all sounds like nonsense to Jason's ears because he's accustomed to this situation.

No, he decides that's actually it.]

Look, lemme tell you a big secret. You don't need anything special to take out a metahuman. [Unless there's a case with (insert a million possible exceptions to that statement. Going on doesn't fit Jason's bravado.)]

And that's what it comes down to, right?

But how are you gonna determine if someone is a threat? You've got reason to believe there's gonna be a threat to your person from them. Why? And hell—tell me this. The hell did you fight for before?

My former divison leader had somewhat of a knack for torture. Watching him work was always...enlightening. [in the best and worst ways]

...How long ago? [ARE YOU FROM THE FUTURE SIR??? PLEASE HELP] Well, I've had to bathe with enlisted men. It really can't get worse than that.

[there was also this one time where he was interrupted and had to go running naked through a forest........]
