excelsior, the battle. ( open )
he's got a hood pulled up over his head, red domino mask up under it, cropped black jacket reaching just below his ribcage and the red/black stark-made suit he'd been mostly covering under other clothes up to this point.
the lenses of his mask glow a soft red, the only part of him visible in the shadows as jason makes his way from rooftop to rooftop, finding trouble and intervening when it looks like his personal brand of help might be useful: he's brutal to a fault, well-armed, and ready to take on damn near anything that crosses his path. )

He's just got some other flaws, too. You know. Some flaws. The lack of detail is because those flaws happen to fill a very, very long list.
When Gojo comes hurtling into Jason's periphery, it looks like he's walking on air. The monsters are a pain, but they aren't bad enough that they've forced him to lift his blindfold or even use his domain expansion. A pair are running from him and escaping into a black hole when he teleports next to them, whips them away from the hole, and decimates them. Very, very swift.
Then he turns, raising a hand in Jason's direction to greet him. No, he hadn't given any acknowledgement of his presence before, but Gojo is a great multitasker.] Yo! Where'dja get those made? I'd love a pair! [He raises his other hand up to his black mask, indicating what he means.
That domino mask is slick.]
no subject
but gojo is an unknown, one who's casually displaying abilities most wouldn't have at all. jason doesn't know what his intentions are aside from being obnoxious--which makes him dangerous. and there aren't any current threats aside from him close by, given he'd taken out the two creatures that were dicking around in the area. so he gets jason's full attention. he raises a brow, evident by the way the domino mask shifts to accommodate. not that he's sure the guy can even see it, given the way his eyes are covered. that doesn't seem to be the kind of mask one can see through, but what does jason know? )
It's custom-made, an' the guy who put it together really ain't fond of putting effort into building shit for strangers.
no subject
[Gojo's body language is flippant and at ease. Even if as a couple monsters errupt from a portal several buildings away, he doesn't seem terribly alarmed by their presence. But at the same time, there's the slightest shift, the toe of his boot turning toward them, that shows that he's ready to engage on them if needed. There are a lot of people fighting, so he'll give it a few seconds.
Again, he's used to working alone. This heroic business means he can see what else someone can do.]
Mind taking care of introductions? [A beat. A sly grin.] Unless I'm speaking to the man himself. I'm truly in awe of your handiwork if so!
no subject
granted, jason has all the tools to manage something similar, and it wouldn't be anywhere near the first time he's built up gear on his own. some people had access to the batcave. jason had access to someone else's money and plenty of time to learn shit all on his own. not that he's planning on lending a hand at all. giving a kid on a crutch toys is one thing. this guy's older, far as he can tell. likely a little taller. and clearly doesn't need help from damn near anyone, the ego is bleeding off of him.
the gun he has in hand gets shoved back down into it's holster as jason steps closer to the edge of the building. looks down to the creatures, then looks back over to gojo himself. )
Anyone ever tell you that you've got a really punchable face?
no subject
Of course, I don't get it, though.
[One moment, he's standing where he is. The next, he's blinked into place alongside Jason.]
I get it, though. You're distracted! If I take care of those guys down there, does that earn me some brownie points? I'm serious about the mask. I'll ask for it in a different color. I'm thinking a bright blue ... or maybe a purple ...
[As he says this, he literally tilts forward like the horizontal plane is under his feet even if his feet lift up off the ground. He's ready to move if he needs, but he's clearly enjoying the talk—and the clear opportunity for persuasion!]
no subject
it's probably the ego. people who are full of themselves are either like that from getting every damn participation trophy in life, they're like that to cover something up, or because they know they've earned it. considering this guy is walking on air and doesn't seem even mildly bothered by all the shit going on, he's leaning on it being the latter.
jason squats down on the edge of the building. gestures down to the void creatures below with a hand. )
A'right. Show me what you got, and maybe I'll consider seeing about getting you a mask of your own.
