[Working alone has always suited Gojo. Part of it is helped along by the fact that some of his powers are so destructive that they can nearly kill anyone around him. Part of it is just that he doesn't always play well with others. His ego carries him to new heights. But don't worry: he's got the power and discipline to back it up.

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.]

Not even for the right price, huh? [Note: Gojo has zero money in this world, unlike at home where his status in his clan means that he has endless amounts of yen at his disposal. That's not going to stop him much. Besides, he can probably figure out a way to make a quick buck, though it'll probably destabilize the economy in a world that's already messed up. It's not like Mei Mei will be there to remind him of his mistake.] Guess I'll just have to find a way to change the circumstances.

[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!

Somewhere along the way. [He waves a hand to dismiss the thought.] Maybe that's why I cover half of it up. It stymies some of the temptation you can't help but drive up inside of you! [Anyone with Jason's skillset can probably guess that this is absolutely a lie. Making up nonsense on the spot is Gojo's specialty.]

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!]
