There's No Hope Left In Man | Closed to Vriska

[hoperidesagain]

After what could only be described as a monstrously awful turn of events in regards to his best...His former best bro and an unnecessary use of his own hope to lash out against a door that he very much hoped cost Feferi a number of pretty pennies, Jake was so far down in the dumps that he practically lived there. He had meandered to his car and just started driving at one point, no thought or care to where he ended up.

To his own surprise, he had somehow landed himself at the parking lot near the big meet up spot that had introduced him to the other super people. Wonderful. Another reminder.

Not content with sulking in his car more, Jake found a bench that overlooked the area the circle had been at. And...and yep. He was crying again. Hopelessness flooded him, thinking only that if he couldn't even help his best bro, how could he even help this city?

It couldn't get worse than this.

Vriska watched him scamper off into the distance with a smile... and then he was coming back. Ooooooookay. She waved back at him as he slowed to a stop in front of her. She started to protest as he scooped her up into an inescapable bear hug, but soon enough her feet were back on solid ground.

He was thanking her...? Man, this was bizarre. Vriska was used to people being insincere with her, and she probably deserved it, but... Jake seemed to mean it. "You're... welcome? I guess?" She waved after him as he left, a smile smile on her face. "Bye Jake!"
