You have a gazillion shitty ideas and not one of them includes giving me my bike back?
[i'm not the one that crashed it -- twice.]
-- Hey! It wasn't like it was my decision. When you throw me into a monster infested hell hole over and over, what do you expect is gonna happen, genius?
You know what? My birthday is coming up. [he might be lying here.] After all the shit you put me through I think a gift is owed. Just saying.

[ But she has some dumb photographs back and she'll hopefully be rewarded with them all over again when she gets back into Verens. Otherwise she'll have to work extra hard for those 1996-1998 photos of Chris Redfield.
And her hats. ]
You know, mentioning your birthday is like asking for someone to sing to you. You going to treat yourself, Birthday Boy?
no subject
[photos of chris? ew. jill's lucky he didn't actually hear that one. or maybe he's the lucky one.]
You offering? Actually on second thought, pass. Heh, usually do. [he borderline says it under his breath. other people usually mess up his birthday anyway. plus he tries to forget it since finding out about his father unless it falls into convenient terms, which in this instance he may or may not be lying about to get a point across.] This year? The kid owes me. Big time.
no subject
[ She might start talking about it if she was given the option to chat about it. Who wants to hear about him when he was just a tiny little baby Cena? ]
Oh, might've been. Might be because I'm curious if you're an ice cream cake kinda guy or not, might just be because I enjoy buying gifts -- sometimes. [ She doesn't exactly get a lot of chances for that and it's always nice when someone is similar enough that when they get a nice handaxe or survival knife that they'll actually appreciate it. People weren't really all that thrilled with her miniature survival kit Christmas gifts last year... ] So, you're just limiting yourself to the bike? Really? And here I would've thought you'd be more demanding.
no subject
Yeah, any time Capt.
[great that's just what he needs. his luck it'd be used against him somehow.
no one jill. that's who. lesnar is better anyway.]
Not a fan of cake, and icecream melts. [what a sour puss.] Figures you would. [with his skillset he doesn't exactly need weapons, but he probably wouldn't turn down a nice survival knife.] I mean if you're offering? 50 mil would be nice too. [smirk. it was just a matter of time before he'd say something to be a little shit.]
no subject
[ She's luckily not on edge and there's no subject broached that she's ready to jump at him over, so it's comfortable. As... comfortable as it can be considering their utterly unique situation.
Everyone wants to, even Lesnar's chicken legs. c: ]
Not big on cake, myself. But I think we'd probably manage to avoid leaving it out in the sun for you. [ It's cute, she thinks. You know in... his own way. ] I'm not sure what you're implying, but I get the feeling I'd want you to stop right there. [ Jill certainly doesn't mind a little hand-to-hand, but she'd rather have back-up -- even if it's a knife. ] You think I got that kind of money? I'm flattered in a way, I guess.
[ Spoilers: all free money is put into weird survivalist style off-the-grid housing. And traps. There are guns in the walls. You know. ]
How cute.
no subject
[ stop. you're embarrassing. yet, he's still here.
Mr. Money in the Bank says differently.]
Good for you. You should put that on your resume. I'll say it; You're obvious. Aren't you high up in the BSAA-and-whatever-else, SOA? Every government dog has a fat cat with deep pockets to report to.
[shrug. he knows that it's probably more true that she's not making bank like that, but it was amusing in his mind to yank her chain a little. or a lot.]
If you're not? It just means someone's pockets are getting a little deeper. Just saying.
[welp.]
Yeah "cute" is a word for it.
[smiiirk]

[ It's fine, that's just how she and that guy down below operate. You know them BSAA and former STARS folk, this is just how they operate. Differing levels, though.
J...Jimmy John's-ing. ]
I'll let you know when I need your email for a reference. [ It takes her a moment to respond, not surprised at all, but unsure how to carry on with such a delicate matter. Because that's what it is. ] Founding member. But I understand what you're saying -- things happen when you're an NGO, especially if you want to be sanctioned by the UN. We'd never expected to be this big and not have a hand in every decision, but things change. Especially when you need to cross borders -- legally -- at a moment's notice. No winning, really.
[ Chris shares her sentiment, but that would require Jake to spend five or fifteen minutes discussing the nuances with her partner. And one thing they all had in common was they were pretty damn stubborn. ]
I don't disagree that someone, somewhere is doing things the wrong way. But you have to weigh out the options. It wasn't like that at the start, but we went from being small and specialized to having more funding and enough members to bleed nearly overnight.
[ And friend, colleague, and leader becoming a detective novelist. ]
Like i said, someone might have that money but it's definitely not me.
no subject
f5 your argument is invalid]
Email? Who even uses that anymore? [look, we have holograms in this world. how much of a dinosaur are you?] Yeah, yeah. Look, I wasn't trying to [get into a serious conversarion?] hit a nerve there. [look at that, he's actually not being sarcastic.] Shit's not easy. That's why you're out saving the world, doing whatever it is over there, and I'm out doing a whole other thing without being a dog on someone's leash.
Heh, so much for being a Founding Member. I'll take it up with the DSO. Negotiating seems to be more their thing.
no subject
[ WHY IS EVERYONE USING THIS ON ME AND SENDING ME MY OWN PHOTOSHOP OF CHRIS'S HEAD ON THIS IMAGE OR MAKING IT THEMSELVES WHAT IS HAPPENING. ]
Kids these days. [ Plenty of people use email! Like her and... well, she supposes she isn't going to argue since she only really knows enough to hack into locks of any sort. The rest? Leave it to Quint and Chris. She's the muscle. ] Well, kinda hard to joke about when you have problems with it and deal with it daily, wouldn't you agree?
[ Jill shoots a look, quick to drop the rest in favor of this. ]
Bet you think you're being cute right now, but I think we both know you're hankering for a high-five or ten from us.
no subject
because it's shark week every week here and nothing is better than shark squats™. chris? don't see it. krauser, maybe. before he tries to eat it just because he can.
nailed it.]
Who's joking? I take this shit seriously. I don't know about you guys.
[stare]
... Pass.
[he can't even.]
You're real funny, you know that?
no subject
(Jill's into it, sucker.) ]
You can't even deliver that in a way I believe you. Might be a great fighter, but you've got a long way to go on acting -- especially the bullshitting part, kiddo.
[ He tries to make a joke out of it, but she's quick to curb it. Borderline delighted on how she further addresses it. ]
I like you, too, Jake.
[ It's okay. He's not the first to fall victim to those good ol' Valentine wiles and charms. ]
no subject
(again, ew)
he crosses his arms at that comment.]
Tough crowd. Listen, you can't bullshit a bullshitter and that right there is straight up bullshit.
[god just shoot him now.]
Heh, I like me too.
[nice try, jill. he might like saying that more than he should, and secretly, equally likes hearing it.]
no subject
You think pretty highly of yourself, huh? But since you want to insist otherwise, I'll give you a tip: the mean because you want attention thing has been tried and true since before I was a teenager.
[ Not that he's a teenager. He just kind of reminds her of those 20-something year olds in teen movies. ]
Hm, I'll take it. After all, here you are. Talking to me about it instead of walking away. Nothing stopping you. Guess it speaks for itself, wouldn't you say?
[ She definitely is reaching out here, but she's pretty sure that him liking himself -- aside from any existential drama -- is spot-on. At least. ]

The only gift that is owed is the gift of silence-- from you.

[ If we're talking about unrealistic expectations here, you might as well go BIG is what he's saying. ]
no subject
Why does everyone want something big? A bike can get around where I need to go as fast as I want to go.
[like when he's trying to escape a shit ton of j'avo for one.]
A tank or a chopper will only slow me down.
no subject
... I think I was hospitalized at the time, though, so it still sucks.
The gift might not be something you actually want or it won’t be worth the trouble...
no subject
['hospitalized' though]
...probably at the most shittiest of times by the sound of it. Tough break, kid.
If it's a shitty cake it won't be, and it definitely won't be if I'm somehow hospitalized to top it off. I'll take my chances if it gets my bike back.
1/2
I was trying to make up for a mistake—since she likes throwing moral dilemmas at me— and I got mauled for trying to be a pacifist for a change.
... I'm not a kid! [Don't mind him, he's sensitive about that.]
2/2
That—must be some bike.
Is it really special?
