"Of course! Of-bloody-course!"

Jonothon was... well, to say he was angry was probably a severe understatement. He was outside, yelling at... mostly at the simulation flamingos that had camped out on Hannibal's perfectly manicured simulation lawn. There was a simulation of Joni in his pocket, which was normal except for the 'simulation' part, and he was letting off steam by kicking that simulation tree a few times before jogging a lap of the lawn and starting the process all over.

Because of course none of this was real. Of course his face wasn't real, of course this world wasn't real and they were all trapped in some manner of bloody mindfuck by some sort of pretentious nit for god bloody only knew what reasons, and there was probably a saner, calmer way to get the hell out of this mess, but the danger they were in wasn't immediate so much as infuriating thus far, and Jono was not a big fan of mindfucks or having his body altered against his will as he slept at night, and he'd wind down and start being functional sooner or later, but right now...?

Right now, he was going to do another circuit of the lawn, where he'd been pacing a trench since Zinyak's announcement that morning, and he was going to kick that tree one more time for good measure. He didn't like the way it had been looking at him. And kicking a rickshaw driver dressed as a hot dog hardly seemed sporting.

...Then again, it probably would have been satisfying, at least.

In his pocket, simulation-Joni mostly just peered out curiously and meowed from time to time.

Okay, so Bo had planned to sneak out to J,GoB early, to surprise Kenzi with doughnuts and coffee like the world's best roommate who occasionally knocked holes in the walls when entertaining a certain sort of guest. Then she'd got to the counter and discovered that when sneaking out to buy doughnuts, it helps to sneak into the pants that actually have your wallet in them.

Problem? No problem. She'd spent years living off I'm a little short, can I pay you later backed up by a soft touch of fingers or lips. She didn't even have to feel (very) guilty about it these days, since she really did intend to reimburse the new kid behind the till. With actual money, not just the supernatural pleasure of being drawn across the counter by his collar and smooched by a succubus.

Or...not? Because there was a smooch, and he didn't seem to hate it, but... nada. No dazed, goofy compliance, no temporarily free baker's dozen, and, slightly more worrying, no juice. No warmth, no energy, no life force, no...nothing. "The hell?"

New kid didn't have an answer for that. Just a polite, somewhat apologetic smile and an outstretched hand for the $13.99 plus tax that Bo currently didn't have.

She did, on inspection of every pocket and a couple other wardrobe areas less specifically designed to hold currency, find a rather wrinkled five. That at least bought her the coffee and bearclaw she was currently picking at while she sat by the window and listened to Kenzi's cell number as it rang and rang and rang.

"The hell?"
