WHO: Dodger, Jason and Enis
WHAT: Instead of leaving the Sphere, Dodger was just in jail for a month.

--

Dodger doesn't remember most of his time in jail. The days blurred together into an endless spell of misery; he'd refused to use the network, refused to speak or sleep or even eat until he was threatened with force-feedings. He'd just watch the wall until he fell unconscious, regain his senses and stay where he lay.

When he's finally released, the first thing he does is to seek out Jason's apartment. He's too haggard from the experience to teleport inside so he knocks, unsure of how much time passes until Jason opens the door. He looks nearly the same as before, except for the dark rings under his eyes... and the haunted look that's entered his gaze.

He's also missing his hoodie, and his gauze wraps are ripped and torn.

Jason didn't really know where Dodger could have gone, one day he was just up and out of there without a word. He was pissed but it had changed to just missing him. He saught out comfort from Enis and more but it still wasn't what he needed. He hated when Dodger just left without a word, he had vowed to punch him square in the face when, or if he saw him again.

He was curled up on the bed with Enis, he needs some emotional support today but it wasn't anything to major, the two of them making a nice habit out of this. He lets out a soft groan. It might have been Carol but it was kind of an odd time, she usually called or shot am a message to him first. He gets up after a second to open the door.
"What's u-?" He cuts himself off when he sees Dodger standing there. There's a flair of rage but as he takes Dodger in it's instantly quelled and he goes over wrapping him in a hug.

"Where the fuck have you been?"

He had a few more questions, he's not used to seeing him so sad like this.

Enis released Jason when they heard a knock on the door. She growled inwardly, annoyed at the interruption from what was otherwise a pleasant night. She'd admit, she missed Dodger's chaos and his cock, but Enis was used to change and things like this didn't bother her the same way that they bugged Jason.

She'd helped decorate his room, adding pillows and plants the way he had described to her the first night they had gotten close. It was comfortable though perhaps a little odd. Enis had never told Jason that she'd been doing these decorations but she just assumed that he knew.

Her ears prick up and her annoyance fades when she hears Jason's voice at the door. There was only one person that could be. "Dodger?" Who ever would be interrupting them? Of course it was him and of course he'd appear just as suddenly as he left.

Bastard.

Dodger isn't really sure what emotion he's feeling, but it feels a lot like wanting to throw up. When Jason hugs him he wraps his arms around him tightly, almost crushing him in his grasp. If anything, the fact that he isn't trying to feel Jason up is the real warning of how badly he's doing, but it's shocking enough that he's letting himself be touched.

It takes a few moments for him to register another person in the room, and he glances up at Enis with a look of vague confusion. Almost as if he doesn't recognize her, but moreso it's that he wouldn't expect these two to be in the same room. When he finally speaks, his voice is hoarse from lack of use.

"Hey." He clears his throat. "You two having a party without me?"

Jason lets out a small squeak as he's crushed but he doesn't let go. He's pretty worried trying to tug Dodger into the room. Parts of him wanted to be angry but that's impossible at the moment. "come inside and sit down, you look like shit"

I look over to Enis when Dodger makes mention.
"Oh yeah, we've been hanging out a lot since you left... I guess it was a party."

[blindpuppet]

Enis pushed herself up and shifted so that she was sitting on the end of the bed. She paused there before finally deciding to get up and walk over to where Dodger had staggered inside. "You look like shit." At least she was honest?

"But yeah, now that you're here it's a party. You think we can party without you?" She wondered if Jason needed help carrying Dodger to the bed but she didn't offer. Instead she stood there ready to help if needed and otherwise gestured towards the bed.

Dodger knew that Enis didn't like saying shit that was on her mind.

Dodger grumbles quietly as Jason leads him into the room, but he's happy to slip onto the bed beside Enis. Still, he isn't really sure how to act between the two of them... he certainly isn't going to be feeling Enis up in front of Jason, as much as he'd like to, and vice versa.

"Nice to see you too." He mutters in vague response to both claims of him looking like shit.

He teeters for a moment before falling backward onto the bed, closing his eyes and just focusing on the relief of a soft place to lay down.

"Didn't know the two of you hung out." Or knew each other.
