It's not fine.

( he wouldn't have done it any differently in junior's shoes. even if had just been habit. there's a reason junior hadn't shared; those bugs cover the entirety of the club, they're there to gain intel, if accelerator were anyone else, if jason hadn't told him to keep it quiet, he might have taken it to his friends, who might've taken it to someone else, and you can't gain intel on people who know they're being listened to. it's just asking to be given false leads. he gets it. tim and dick'll probably be pissed off if they find out he's spilling family secrets, but it's not as if accelerator hasn't been inside his head already.

he's not angry about it. he's angry their similarities are shining through again when he hates being reminded of those. )

I hate liars.

( jason just also happens to be one. )

[It isn't really fine, it's just easier to say that and act like it is. Before the Level 6 Shift, just accepting adults were shit was always the easier route to take. They all either feared or hated him, and it's not like any of them ever bothered trying to hide that. There was nothing he could do about it, so it was just easier to go along with it.

It's kind of hard to do that here, when Jason is being rude and vocalizing what he's really thinking.

He looks over at him, deadpan.]

Your self-loathing is showing.

[reneger]

( stop calling him out like this. it's rude.

but jason's just quirking a brow up, and - leaving it at that. accelerator can point it out, but jason doesn't want to address it. he's had enough crises this year already. so he changes the subject instead. )

What's the coffee of the week?

[levelshift]

[The change in subject matter isn't a big deal to Accelerator. He knows talking about stuff like one's self-loathing isn't easy, so he rolls with it and shrugs.]

High Brew's black. It's total crap.

[reneger]

Why drink it if it's shit?

( what's wrong with good coffee. )

[levelshift]

[Good coffee is overrated, give him garbage burnt bean juice.]

I don't know, it's just what I'm drinking right now. Does it matter?

[reneger]

You'd think if you were gonna drink something, you'd try and get something decent.

( he's judging a little. but jason also intentionally drinks crap liquor when he goes out to bars, so. it's not as if he isn't also judging himself. )

[levelshift]

[Wow, rude. Accelerator waves a hand dismissively.]

It doesn't hit the same.

[And with that he's going to start heading inside.]

Thanks for the new couch.

[reneger]

See you around.

( he's not following accelerator back up. stops just a bit outside the door, actually, and - turns around on his heels to head back out once he's verified accelerator's inside. )
