[ Rustling sounds, like he's going somewhere private, and whispering a little, like he doesn't want this conversation to be overheard. Keeping this not-dead business a secret from roommates is a pain in the butt. ]

Jesus, man, but can you believe it? That zombified bullshit? Ain't no easy way out with these people, like, ever.

[ Which... they should've seen coming but goddamn that was creepy. ]

Hasn't it always been this way?

['Always' as in since Haven became a thing. Reanimating and shit -- of course, this was babbies first death, so Kaworu doesn't have a lot of room to play compare and contrast, especially where Haven defies all sense of logic.

Or, what he knows to be true anyway. He should have been dead forever 4329132932432 days ago.

He can certainly pick up on some unease coming from the opposite end of the phone, but that sort of sentiment usually pops up when death is the focus. Lilin and their desire to live....]

[ Well... yeah but. ]

Not for me. [ Of course Jesse has died before. This is the voice of someone who never thought he'd be rating multiple deaths, evaluating multiple instances of it when it should a) only happen once and b) be the same thing every time oh my god. This is not the happiness he wished for. ] This one's new.

You been stuck here a long time, huh? [ Gosh you're chill about this Kaworu. Are u okay? ] Like, how you holdin' up?

[ clueless live action g2b ]

[Gosh, Jesse, lighten up. Accept the multiple deaths...but fuck that groundhog day shit.]

I have. Although it's difficult to assess, [Only because: who knows how time's really measured here??] I've been here for approximately twelve months.

[A whole year and Travis beheading him was his very first death!!!]

Could you be concerned for me, Jesse?

[RhymeZoned.]

[ An entire year. Less than Jesse's current sentence, but not by a whole lot. Incredible. ]

Uh, sure? [ What is he supposed to say? "No, fuck off, Kaworu." ] I mean, yeah.

[ A WORDSMITH... he's stumped though. He watched you get beheaded man that's cause for concern. ]

We're, uh, we're all in this together, yeah?

[Now they all have the same sentence, and it's death forever.]

So the sign suggests. Is that something you believe?

[There are obvious employees running amok within them; traitors, things like that.]

You don't have to concern yourself with my welfare, regardless.

[ it's not something he believes and he knows next to nothing about kaworu, come to think of it, but he has a difficult time picturing this gentle-voiced waif on the og yao level. ]

It's not a big deal, yo. [ srsly. ] Unless you think it is. The sign's bullshit, but I don't think you're a bad kid.

You're very kind.

[Something he can discern, slang and all. Yo yo yo. It's never a bad thing to be told you're a Good Kid in hindsight either, even if Jesse is totally misinformed.]

What do you believe, then?

[ A little scoff, as that's not a sentiment he's used to hearing. ]

Nah, s'just... [ He trails off. Jesse avoids finishing his sentence by dealing with the next question, but he doesn't get the specifics of what he's being asked. ] About what?

[Obviously Jesse's been hanging around the wrong people.]

Haven itself.

[ Story of his life. Jesse gives a hum. ]

Pretty broad question, dude. [ But then again, it's funny how they, the residents, don't really ask each other that question. Considering what a strange predicament it is. ] The accommodations blow, but we're all on the same page there. Other than that, and roundin' out the shit they put us through, it could be worse.

[ Almost can't believe he's saying this. It's Haven. But it's the first time in a long-ass time he hasn't felt alone. He waits before going on, to try and judge if Kaworu thinks he's uh insane. Maybe that was a real dumb thing to say to a kid who got beheaded recently. Oops. ]

[Yet, he doesn't have to elaborate very much from there. Kaworu's content to listen, and can find familiarity in Jesse's words. Of course, he's more optimistic in EVERY AVAILABLE ASPECT and harbors very few complaints. He'd like for the residents to have their way more often, for example, but there's little he can do there.]

Do you dislike it because we're trapped, or is it your quarters that you dislike?

[He's probably more fucking weird for choosing that to question. No offense taken at all, ftw.]

[ Kaworu you are so calm and soothing. Everyone should have a Kaworu to talk to. ]

Uh, for me? Being trapped is worse. That no-way-out feeling has gotta be one of the worst things about Haven. How's about you? General thoughts?

[Everyone DOES have a Kaworu to talk to. It's just the same guy over and over and not individual kaworus ok.]

I don't mind it. I've been able to form many bonds because of our conditions.

[Buuuut having to watch everyone suffer, that's kinda triflin. Kinda, because there's a silver lining in everything.]

If not for our trials here, you and I would never have met one another.

Guess that's lookin' on the bright side.

[ Jesse tends towards pessimism and whininess especially around event time, but Kaworu's chill tude is putting him at ease. ]

Hah, but you barely know me, kid. What if I turn out to be a huge jerk?

[Jesse Ikari.]

Wouldn't that be fine? Your feelings are your own, after all.

[BUT HE KIND OF HAS HIS DOUBTS. JESSE'S BEEN NICE ALL ALONG, even as a background character.]

That would be okay with you?

[ Tentative and confused. PROTECT YOURSELF, KAWORU. ]

Stifling your choices would be inconsiderate of me.

[FROM WHAT. IS HE GIVING JESSE BAD IDEAS??]
