Jackson watched apathetically from his spot on the sand as Mary and Danny argued, not really caring what happened as long as they fucking finished up here. While dry clothes helped, he could still feel the frigid air piercing the light clothes, slightly dampened by contact with his wet body. And he had no great care for the fate of Yui the kitsune, her conflicting actions and motivations set aside, she obviously wanted nothing to do with him and the feeling was more than mutual. He did agree that Danny offering his life force to the creature was beyond stupid, it was the equivalent of offering your arm as a snack for a starving bear, a decision that could've only ended in disaster.

[color=00aeef]"Firstly, I object to the accusation of falling heads over heels with the fox chick, I was just being nice because I had no fucking clue how to approach and that's my default. Secondly, if she gets rowdy, I think I can help with containing her the best out of all present, excluding the ever-knowledgable Kanoa of course. maybe she can use that talisman she used to help calm me down earlier on her."[/color] Jackson rubbed the back of his neck, breathing out a sigh as he looked up into the sky. It had been a very interesting few hours into the first day of their mystery gang of misfits, but he got the feeling that things wouldn't be getting any easier as time went on. [color=00aeef]"I'm cool with letting August handle talking to the Ramon kid, and even the spirit fox if she feels up to it, and if Mary wants to find more drugs to roofie the damn thing, then I'm fine with making sure she doesn't get lost and what not.[/color]"

Upon hearing August's final comment, Jackson couldn't help but scoff. [color=00aeef]"Maybe there's a reason for that. Far as I can tell, what ever connects a person to all this bullshit is something that's brought little in the way of happiness and a whole bunch of shit that they never wanted. I mean, it's the main reason Ramon here nearly got killed by an incompetent fox spirit."[/color] She had felt that kid's emotions when the kitsune had been using him like a battery, yet she still found some sort of amazement with this world and magic. Maybe it was a biased opinion, but jackson was firmly of the belief that everything about the world of spirits, magic, and the supernatural was dangerous, wrong, and should be stayed away from; cause with every fantastically awe-inspring thing you see, there's probably a hundred horrors waiting in the shadows to sink their fangs into your flesh and soul. Jackson's hands curled up into fists as he brought his knees up to his chest. [color=00aeef]"I would do anything and everything, just so I could be rid of this damn tether and remain blissfully ignorant for the rest of my life."[/color]

He stayed silent for a while, hair covering his eyes, before he fell back into the sand with a huff. [color=00aeef]"Man, I'm such a fucking downer. Sorry about the doom n' gloom talk, it's just that you touched a bit of a nerve. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of all this supernatural bullshit and would much rather have lived without it."[/color]
