un: jonas. cw: blood chatter.
ik this is going to sound like an episode of 60 Minutes that never got aired, but I have smelled worryingly like blood for the past week or so.
Please pre-emptively cool it on the wild guesses, though. God forbid any of this winds up vaguely sexual like Keith's thing (F, buddy). No, I haven't even been injured lately. No, it's not my time of the month. No, I'm not actually a murderer. I woke up one day, sniffed foul air, and have been increasingly ill since.
Does anyone have any idea what I can even do about this? bc I feel like I've tried literally everything but bathing in bleach.
Oh, actually, for ppl who don't want to interact with my TMI, what are your favourite movies? I work at the theatre in Mirth now and I'll get a 2% raise if I bring in more traffic, so I kinda have a vested interest in knowing what kinds of things you'd wanna see screened. Set can't pay for everything yk lol.
Thanks.

the things I did are awful and ill always have them on my conscious, but i wanna be better. i just.. dont want to lie to anyone either, you know? sort of a thing i have to own up to - i wasnt able to own up to the first one and thats what led to the second.
aaaaaaanyway, heh, this is getting depressing, and im probably freaking you out! change subject, change subject! you know how a guy can get a job around here?

is he meant to be stricken from the earth? jonas, also branded by felony, rolls his jaw behind closed lips. they're meant to contribute after rehabilitation, but what is their worth if no one will give them a chance?
that fucking does it.)
I'm freaked out probably about the same as anyone would be. idk about "owning up" though, like you already know what you did was bad. You shouldn't have to share your story immediately to everyone if you're trying to get better, man. imo you don't owe it to anyone. ppl still have to earn that, you're a person just the same as they are.
So, we're good.
And jsyk, there are positions open at the theatre I work at. It's kinda dumpy there bc they play crappy movies and no one goes, but it's still a cool spot to just hang out.
Otherwise, you just go door to door and ask if ppl need any help with their business. It's not like at home where you gotta jump through all these hoops and your record haunts you the whole time lol. They aren't gonna do a bg check on you, yk?

Why? He could have let the conversation slide into familiar, easy territory. But he chose to give advice, and honestly, advice was what Kazutora needed. A therapist, or a friend, someone to keep his mind from spiraling..
He wondered.. if this guy had ever been through anything similar? He wondered if he could help, too.]
Thank you. That's really nice of you to say, honestly. Can I pay you to be my therapist, lol. jk jk but seriously, thanks. Ive been crazy for so long I have no idea whats acceptable or not to say or do these days! Im not sure this Stygia place will help but im glad to know the people in it will ♥
speaking of, yeah, if your movie theater is hiring, ill go sign up! ive never had a job before, so i cant imagine any place is too dumpy for me atm, and if a nice guy like you is working there, it cant be all bad right?
also, if you ever wanna talk about anything, lmk. im happy to lend an ear!
sorry this is so late, SCHOOL CRUNCH TIME KILLS THE MAN
I can't believe we'll be coworkers. I've never had a real job before, so idk. Free popcorn?? Free movies??? It was a sick deal and an item checked off on the bucket list. The job's not even hard, I got hits just asking for movie recs.
So far we've got:
- Romance flicks
- ~Mysteries~ (your pick)
- ??? Action/drama (my pick)
- Superhero stuff
- Monster movies (like Godzilla)
oh you fine I have been mega late on somma these tags >_>
Man I cant tell you how much I appreciate that. Thanks, again, for just-- being awesome, haha. And yeah, absolutely, I got you. Whatever you need, whenever. I'll look out for you. Were buds now, right?
Ive never had a real job either so Im stoked. My parents sucked but at least they had deep pockets. But free popcorn and free movies all day and we get paid for it?? Thaaaaaat I can absolutely spend my days doing.
Also, great list - I was gonna say maybe we should add in sci-fi or horror, but given the creepy dump we all live in lol maaaybe thats not a great idea.
so! now that were gonna be coworkers, we should go out somewhere, get drunk, and tell embarrassing stories about ourselves. is there a place you wanna go?
you and me just trying to get through this: https://youtu.be/sTt-jdDEWAw?t=3
(jonas purses his lips to prevent himself from smiling. the number of friends he's making here surpasses his previous record at home by a long shot, and those strangers barely counted. they were disappointing, occasionally cruel, and, perhaps worst of all, disloyal.
they'll forget him and he'll forget them. everyone will move on as though jonas ward never existed.
here, however, he, too, has a second chance.)
tbh this wasn't gonna work if you didn't ask me to go get hammered, so I agree wholeheartedly that we should do that. There's this place called the Cairn I took my friend Zagreus to and we thought it was p great, so we could meet up there sometime?? Just when I don't stink to high heaven LMFAO
In the meantime, though, sci-fi is definitely going on the list. You're right about horror, but I thiiiiink we could get away with weird planets/aliens/robots and stuff.
You got a favourite movie?
THATS US! Also I am back from the death of TREMENDOUS workload HI and sorry!!!!
and getting hammered rn sounds fucking amazing and im here for it
[He'd pause to consider his favorite movie.. it'd been a while since he'd had the chance to just chill with popcorn and watch something with friends..]
I like pretty gory movies ngl haha. A couple of my favorites -- I like the movie Cure, and I like Suicide Circle. Koji Shirashi's Noroi is chefs kiss imo. I watched the American movie Saw when I got out of jail, and that was my favorite recent movie. Its surprising how many people have depraved tastes like me lol.
Hbu? Fav movie? Fav memory around a movie?
Also tbh we should just have this convo while getting drunk - you wanna meet up later today?
no worries at all, also i was gone too so I FEEL YOU FRIEND
(which sucks, because making a friend and not being able to go out to hang with them to "seal the deal" is a pain in the ass. still, jonas is familiar with his limits, and he knows he'd be terrible company.
conscious of how well he hides his malaise, he decides to share instead of bottling it.)
Joking around about stuff is easier, but I'm grouchy/whiny when I get sick, so tbh I'm saving everyone the hassle lol
I haven't seen most of those, though. Saw was awesome though even if the acting was hilariously bad. I think that made it better though bc half the fun was seeing the elaborate torture gizmos and the other half was making fun of Cary Elwes crawl around white as a sheet hahahaha
I'm into war movies, but my favourite's movie ever is The Hurt Locker. It's about bomb disposal in the middle east. The tension is bonkers.
