They didn't need to work hard to set us up.

( it's easy to see the mistakes because jason wasn't around during it. well. he's generally alright with admitting to his own bullshit, but jason knows damn well how he gets in the heat of the moment. but he wasn't around for any of the shit that caused strife between them and everyone else. he just arrived into it. )

There's a system in place here, and I don't trust any of it worth shit. Anything where you've gotta sign your name on a dotted line is just asking for trouble. But I also know other Starfallen haven't made it easy to trust us either. The people from around here know a lot of us outrank their strongest, and a lot of us have made big messes while sticking up their noses and calling everything here crap. We're something to be afraid of, outsiders.

( he's run the angles. personally, jason prefers to stay something to be afraid of. it works better for him, it makes everything cleaner. but it doesn't help their case any either, especially given the heavy hitters he knows damn well are still around, and the publicity they've gotten in the past. )

Cards were already stacked against us as it was. If we let this get too out of hand--it's gonna turn into a war.
