[Oh ho! Someone brought the goods. Guess it's about time to shut down the forge for a while, if they're going to be drinking. Wouldn't want to be too unsafe right?]
You know you're always welcome down here, just ain't used to you takin' me up on the offer. [He smirks, gesturing at his ever growing increasingly creepy collection.] What, you don't like the all-year haunted house look?
[Honestly he finds it hilarious but he's also weird so there's that.]
Ain't anyone gonna snoop around too long somewhere that looks like they're about to get turned into a doll, right?
[Alright he's mostly doing it to creep Squall out but... theft prevention isn't a terrible idea. Since Eos is the worst guard dog.]
[jason's mostly giving seifer crap about it, but ... yeah, there's something a little unnerving about this many mannequins hanging out in one place. maybe it's because they look just close enough to human to trigger jason's deeply ingrained sense of hyper-vigilance.]
I spent a good percentage of my teen years hanging around in an actual cave that was full of bats. I'm good on the haunted house stuff for probably the rest of my life.
[then again ... trolling your rival is always a worthy goal, so. shrug!!]
[Quite fair, and entirely why Seifer's put a partition between the forge itself and where the mannequin collection is harassing Squall's "office". He doesn't like catching them out of the corner of his eye either, but his persistence in bothering Squall means he can't just get rid of them now!]
Were they the try to eat you any time they see you kind, or more of those normal animals from your world?
[What? Jason's world sounds tame in the animal department.]
[Seifer has a weird sense of what "fun" is, ignore him. It comes from only having monster hunting as a recreational activity.]
Well... [He hesitates a few beats, considering how best to answer that question. Somehow he didn't think Jason would judge him too harshly.] They ain't the most up and up sorts, but my contact's assured me they ain't goin' anywhere near civilians.
[Look he might not care what a bunch of mobsters want to do, but he didn't want anyone innocent caught in the crossfire.]

Not half bad, picked up a buyer you could say.
[Jason won't judge him for unscrupulous will he?]

[animals always trying to eat you is a pretty weird thing to live with, but hey, it’s not the weirdest thing jason’s heard by far.]
A buyer, huh? Anyone I’d know?
