wow
that's so wild
[ If he was speaking, it would be in the most monotone, emotionless tone possible, but for better or worse, text isn't all that great for conveying sarcasm. ]
so, you're finally gonna be an adult huh?
congrats

uh huh
no need for a celebratory cake then, I assume?
[ Originally he wasn't even going to offer that (and, knowing him, still end up making something anyway), but now he kind of feels like teasing her about it. ]

[ ... Ah.
It's easy to sometimes forget what kind of shithole world Jinx is from. Sure, his world is not all sunshine and rainbows either, but at least he's aware of some of the more hopeful and pleasant customs, such as Santa or birthday cakes, even if they haven't been a part of his life for years at this point. ]
sure do
I take it you've never had one?

[ ... Seriously? He's being ordered to show up or else by some jackass named "Jerry"? This is beyond ridiculous. It's very tempting to tell him to piss off and save his thinly veiled threats for someone who'd be impressed by them, but he figures he'd be wasting his breath.
Besides, his annoyance with the wording of the message aside, this actually piques his interest. He'd been waiting for some explanation on the whole sentencing bullshit ever since he got here, and it looks like this might be a chance to finally find out more about whatever the hell is going on here. So with the pros outweighing the cons, Ragna is willing to swallow his pride and act like an adult for once. ]
as far as invitations go, this one kinda sucks, dipshit
but sure, I'll be there
[ Well. "Adult" by his standards.
When the two hours limit is up, Jerry will find Ragna standing in front of the City Hall, leaning on its wall with his arms crossed on his chest. ]

well yeah, there are those too I guess
[ Not that he's ever been to a wedding, but he gets the idea.
...
God, what he's about to say feels so damn awkward, but... fuck it, he might as well ask. ]
want one?
birthday cake I mean

[He can stand being called a dipshit as long as he doesn't have to wrangle another stray cat Jinx in to meet the Council.
His shoulders relax in the most microscopic amount as he sees Ragna, maybe some??? Relief???? That he doesn't have to go grab another one of these Chosen.
His expression, however, stays blank.]
I'm grateful for the prompt arrival. Now, if you'll follow me.
[He's going to wave Ragna over before he starts to walk into City Hall.]

[ Bless this being a text conversation, that way she can't see the corners of his lips turning up in a small smile. ]
sure
chocolate chip it is

[ See? Even Jerry can recognize he's a responsible adult!
Once the other man arrives, Ragna pushes himself off the wall and follows him into the building, though it's pretty clear he's not happy about doing as he's being told. ]
Spare me the bullshit, errand boy.
[ Ever the friendly presence, Ragna looks around as they walk, hoping to notice anything that could clue him in on... anything related to this world, really. ]
I take it this whole "Council" you're taking me to is behind all the Chosen crap?

They are, and they aren't.
[What does that even mean? Jerry isn't going to elaborate, he's just going to keep walking. He's going to ignore the rest of Ragna's attitude though -- he's a criminal, and criminals can just Be Like That.]
The time is long past to begin the Sentencing.

uhhh
coffee or tea?
[ But he gets a feeling this isn't the kind of answer she's looking for here, so: ]
maybe mulled wine could do the trick

[ Ragna lets out a snort, rolling his eyes. If the goal of this guy is to irritate him and convince him not to listen to whatever this "council" has to say, then he's doing a good job. ]
Oh yes, please, be more vague and cryptic, that totally makes me wanna cooperate more.
[ Could his sarcasm be any more obvious? Hopefully it gets across, because his patience for this bullshit is wearing thin. ]
You don't fucking say. If they're gonna drag people in here for their dumb shit, then they could at least have the courtesy to get on with that right away.
[ They quite literally dug him up from the grave for this, so it'd better be something important. ]

[ Coffee and tea are snobby, but wine isn't. Sure, let's go with that. ]
got it
anything else with that?
since apparently I'm your one-man party planning committee
[ How has it come to this?? She has this mysterious ability to drag him into most ridiculous shit... ]

Suuure.
[ Whatever. At least they're progressing now and maybe he can finally find out what the hell he's even doing here.
... Or so he thought, but instead of answers, he finds himself facing an empty room. His scowl deepens, and he gives Jerry a doubtful look. ]
... If it's a joke, then I'm not laughing. And I don't take kindly to assholes wasting my time.
[ Nevertheless, despite his suspicions, he still steps into the room. That's the only way to find out if the guy is pulling his leg, right? ]

[Ragna won't remember much after Jerry closes the door and the room goes dark. He may remember feeling judged, and voices from people he can't remember the faces of. He doesn't remember much, but he does remember the most important part:]
You, who have committed the crime of destroying the world have come to stand before us to atone for your crime. To show commitment to rehabilitation, we have a request:
To atone for your carelessness and lack of respect for human life, you must create something beneficial and / or protect others to prove your desire to change. How exactly you complete this task is up to you.
You have until November 10th to finish our task. If you complete it, you will be one step closer to returning home.
[When Ragna becomes aware again, he's outside of City Hall, without Jerry as an escort. The paper with his crime on it will be updated to reflect this task.]
[ooc: The longer that Ragna takes to complete this task, the more he will see and hear the bodies and voices of the dead and dying, both in the waking world and in his sleep. They will quiet while he is on the right track to completing the Council's request, however.
The thread or post of this action may be OOCly submitted here. Failure to follow through on this task will result in a penalty for your character in the next event.]

[ Again with the "old" bullshit?! He thought they've established he's still fairly young─ oh, whatever. If she's gonna be a brat about it, then he'll just have to return the favor. ]
oh so it's just for kids?
don't worry, I'm not interested in participating anyway
