[ Jerry's eyes follow Jack's anxious pacing, as usual radiating the exact opposite energy of his nuerotic best friend. Like he hadn't just read a conversation that's a complete mindfuck and changes...well. Everything, at least for Jack, because he's Jack. This is all he knows. He's the guy who never sleeps. But to Jerry it just means that maybe he should keep a slightly closer eye on his friend. Oh, and that he's not dying. Which is probably contributing to that mindfuckery Jack is no doubt feeling right now. ]
Yeah, s'kinda weird. [ He shrugs and holds the phone back out to Jack, expecting him to take it, but mostly to stop pacing for one second. ] But...weird shit's always happening around you. Think about it; with all the fucky wucky stuff goin' on who's gonna notice a dude who has "graveyard shift" stamped across his forehead sleepwalking? Seems pretty tame in comparison. Anyway, we should be celebrating! I mean, you still got a problem, but it's a less shitty problem!
[ YOU'RE THINKING WAY TOO MUCH BRO JUST SHUT THAT BRAIN OFF you know in the nonfatal way. ]
( Jerry's gonna be left holding that phone for an awkwardly long time, because it doesn't even really register in his head. He has the mental RAM for like two tasks at a time. In this case, thinking and pacing. Both things Jerry wants him to stop. Both things likely to go on indefinitely, without intervention. )
Okay, but- but-
( Maybe he doesn't actually have a but to follow that up, so he resorts to a flail-y emphatic shrug gesture and concludes: )
