[His smile fades a bit at those words] Yeah. We've seen versions of our worlds, but I don't know how I'd feel about a portal where I could see my friends again. It'd be nice knowin' they're all okay, but then they'd just disappear again. I think I'd rather not see 'em at all then get the rug pulled out under me like that.
I don't know, I think that rolling goat might be able to take us. [a joke, though who knew. the goat was hilarious and maybe slightly unsettling when you thought too long about how its body must work to do that.]
... I think I agree. That and some have seen people from their futures. I do not know if I want to learn anything about that, even if it no longer applies to us.
[He snorted at that. Damn, but he does love Viktor's sense of humor]
I kinda liked it. Though in my case, I got good news. Two from my world were here and told me that we got outta that temple and blew up the vampires. Put my mind at ease, made feel a little better about bein' here.
[that is good to hear, viktor's lips quirk at it. shockingly he prefers vampires do not eat jason? wild.]
Hm, I guess you have a point. Good news would be welcome enough. [he doesn't really think his world has a chance of good news for his future, which might be a big reason why he has no interest in knowing.] Then again, maybe it's a relief just to know, even if it's bad news. More time to eh... to process.
Yeah, that's true. Better to know what's comin' either way.
[He pauses in front of a new portal. The lights are very colorful and there's a cheering crowd. And then some giant birds go by being ridden by people. Jason just sort of stares at the race before turning to Viktor]
It may be harmless regardless. Our futures could simply be here now.
[something he has mixed feelings about and is sure many feel the same. the cheering gets quirked brow, more so when he actually sees portal properly. well. that 'fucking cool' gets a laugh, short and bitten back, before he can't help but nod.]
I agree. I think... people are betting on the bird?
I would say it's unlikely but given how odd the worlds are who knows.
[a pause and he turns with a smirk.] Let's make bets, while we're here. I think the black one will win. [he considers for a moment before pulling out a pen from his bag- a nice enough pen, waggled in the air like it's an actual tempting offer.}
A bettin' man, huh? All right. [He studies the birds. He really has no idea what to expect from any of them] What exactly does the winner get? Somethin' better than shiny rocks, I hope.
So you wanna bet on the birds and our prize? That's ballsy. [What if it's a Tonberry, Viktor??] All right, I'll go with that green fella at the end. He looks like he's got the spirit.
We've had a lucky streak so far, at least in the portals not destroying us. [the tonberry would though. a truly adorable way to be obliterated.] Hm, good choice, I suppose we will see.
[off they go. viktor leans in to watch, and according to the coin flip i did jason is indeed right on the money. as green wins viktor huffs, though he still seems pretty content. an amusing diversion.
something does roll through the portal almost eerily on cue. a chocobracelet of jason's very own. it apparently makes you a bit faster? useful and a little gaudy!]
[He picks up the bracelet, turning it around. He's not really much for jewelry but he'll pocket it anyway. A trinket from another world might come in handy some day]
Food, a little tour of other worlds, and a prize. You sure know how to show a guy a good time.
Yeah, it was all right. Saw some weird shit, but it was the more harmless kind of weird. And parts of it were fun. Gotta take moments like that where you can in Trench.
[He pauses, fiddling with the bracelet] You need a Hunter's escort back home?

[but he offers jason a smile.] Thank you for indulging me though. It is nice to know some of the nonsense of this place can be entertaining.
