…hm. I can live with this one.

How can you have a beautiful ending without making beautiful mistakes?
Wǒ cào! [Jason crumples up the tiny slip of paper.] Nothing about my ending or the mistake that led up to it was beautiful.
I think these cookies are trying to sass both of us.

A smile is your passport into the hearts of others.
Don't fucking tell me to smile.

"Your dearest wish will come true."

Sounds like a monkey's paw if ever I heard one.
"You are a persoon(sic) with a good sense of justice, now it's time to act like it."
...I already do! Here's some justice for yah!
[ He tries to throw the fortune to the floor, but the drama is taken out it by the way it floats languidly down. ]

[ Option 1: ]
Jealousy doesn't open doors. It closes them!
[ She scowled and crumpled the small piece of paper into a ball. ]
[ Option 2: ]
Isn't there something else you should be working on right now?
[ She sure just got a dose of her own medicine. She sighed. ]

There is always something else you need to be working on, isn’t there?
I know the feeling.

Option 1
[It's an empty fortune cookie.]
I'll take it to mean it's best to create a fortune of my own.
Option 2
"A different world cannot be built by indifferent people."
True enough, though the details of that difference matter.

See, you got the poetic one with deeper meaning. I got, "Someone stole your fortune and replaced it with this one. Your luck sucks. Have a good day!"
Is it because I can't eat the cookie?

Oops... Wrong cookie.
...wha—? [ Clearly distressed. ] Does that mean that there's a right one somewhere else?
[ Which leads her to now shuffling around to everyone in the general area, asking if they're in possession of the 'right cookie.' ]
How would you know which one's the right one? Hey hey what if it means you get to have another one instead??
Be most affectionate today.
[ Lineface. ] No.
[ Lineface. ] No.
No distance is too far, if two hearts are tied together.
[His face is just going to twist up in slight disgust.
Or is it disappointment?]

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
[It was quiet and light as he stood there fingers nervously fussing with his coat cuffs.]

Nah. Usually it's just jam.
[eyes the remainders of your cookie] ...You gonna eat that?

"I am a fortune. You just broke my little house. Where will I live now?"
Huh? Wait it really says that?? That's kinda sad!

"You are admired by everyone for your talent and ability."
Admiration would be ideal, but fear is often what is required.

[Shortly thereafter, Hiyori will receive a delivery of 1 vintage dollhouse wardrobe with a thimble-sized melon green sweatervest inside.]
[Option A:}
"Never give up on someone that you don't go a day without thinking about."
There's a lengthy pause, a frown, and then a sigh as he sets the paper down. "If this is the universe's way of getting me to call Thor, mission accomplished, I suppose."
[Option B:]
"You can't go down the right path without first discovering the path to go down." He breaks into a grin, cackles, and holds the paper aloft. "...In bed."
[Option C:]
"You don't need answers to all of life's questions. Just ask your father what to do." He rolls his eyes and drops the slip of paper in the flame of the candle on the edge of the table. "I think the fuck not."

You have choices, you know. Always do.
I'm sorry. Whut? Wot? What?
Was the last part on that?
