[Well, hey, here's a familiar face! ...Right? Well, it looks like Jack, mostly. Outfit's a little different, his hair's a mess, and, geez, is that a crack in his mask? Someone must've had a rough night or something.]

You know, I'm not super big on this weather, but compared to getting a cryo-blast in the face it's really not so bad! Guess that messes with your standards a little. It's also just better than space, in general? Let me tell you, I am... so tired of space! There's an actual natural atmosphere here, do-- do you know how amazing that is? To just stand outside and breathe and know the oxygen hasn't been filtered for god knows how long and...

...and I had an actual thing to talk about that I'm forgetting. Shit, I'm out of practice.

[Did he used to ramble so much before? Honestly, he can't even remember.]

Someone wanna do me a solid and get me back to Ecruteak, 'cause that's where I was and I was uh... in the middle of... something.

Kinda important, you know, so. That's be great.

[Opening mouth. Closing mouth. Open...uh............]

Uhhhhhhhhhaaaare you related to a guy named Jack...maybe...?

[Well at least she didn't go with the Other guess.]

[secondhandsome]

[oh great that took absolutely no time at all

Tim immediately just tenses up and his response is immediate.]

No.

[insidescoop]

Uhhhh...

Well you definitely know the guy then, huh! [Hoo boy!] Sssssorry about that?

...I'm gonna be honest this is really confusing already! I know there's supposed to be infinite possibilities between realities and worlds and stuff but this is uncanny!

[carly stop,]

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, I know the guy. He's a dick.

[...]

This is gonna be a thing, isn't it.

...Timothy?

You're still here?

[This is by no means a complaint, Lust just...isn't sure this is actually real.]

[secondhandsome]

Uh. Yep. Still here.

...Heeeeeey.

[dfghkdjg help him]

[a_sin_for_him]

I'll be there this evening.

Would you like to stop by Goldenrod and get your things?

I...kept them all.

[secondhandsome]

Oh... Yeah, that would help a bunch. Glad you were feeling sentimental...

[help that's touching? he's touched???]

[thedifferencebetween]

Oh thank fuck, you're the updated model!

[This is a doppelganger that is clearly from Jack's own time. And by extension, or so he assumes, a properly trained and obedient one. Not like last time when the asshole had decided to see who's balls were bigger and stab him in the back.]

...what the hell happened to your mask, and why are you showing our face on the network with your hair like that?

1/2

[secondhandsome]

[oh good okay this is happening

no this is fine it's just

all of his nightmares]

2/2

[secondhandsome]

Because you've been dead for seven years and, honestly, who gives a fuck?

[oh god did he just say that

oh god he just SAID THAT]

[thedifferencebetween]

You know damned well I'm not dead, I've just been here!

[What the fuck?]

What the hell is the matter with you? You don't talk to me like that, you know you don't talk to me like that. It's not like last time. Your little protective circle of buddies aren't here anymore, and besides, ya really think they'd stick by you when I mention that you just went right back to working for me? Maybe give'em a nice list of all the shit you got up to....

So you wanna try that again, sweetcheeks?

[secondhandsome]

You keep telling yourself that.

[Okay, Jack.]

Maybe I'd try it again if there was enough money in the universe for you to pay me to care. But there's not, so I guess we're at an impasse.

[notyourgoddess]

[She was very, very close to just scrolling past and passing this of as Jack lost his mind or something. But then she remembered the whole mind switch thing that happened when she got here. So she gave it another look over.]

Do you know Krieg?

[secondhandsome]

[oh. hello.]

Um... yeah? Yeah, I know Krieg.

[notyourgoddess]

[She'll nod. Congrats on passing the not Handsome Jack test.]

He's still here. You'll probably hear from him at some point.

My name's Maya. We've never met but I've heard about you from Athena back home and Krieg here.

You went to space?!

[Hi, yes, sorry, there was a lot of stuff said and also a request to go to some place called (checks map) Ecruteak, but Space.]

That's so cool! How'd you get to go? Are you an astronaut? Did you get to see anything cool while you were up there?

[Humor him, Subaru's... practically sparkling.]

video

[secondhandsome]

[wow now he almost feels a little bad that space was just kind of garbage]

Definitely... not an astronaut. It really doesn't take much to go into space where I'm from, I've been spending a lot of time on space station. Like, uh, years of time. So many years.

...I saw a black hole, I guess that probably counts as cool?

video

[starrypoint]

[space is a billion trillion stars and Cool Objects through the telescope but to someone who's lived out there their whole lives or Could it must not be very interesting, he understands.]

You saw a black hole? [waow] What did it look like?

[For the casual observer, this sounds just like another Handsome Jackoff post. The voice, the face, it's all just as expected.

But the delivery is not as expected. Neither is the topic. And the guy using that shitty, shitty voice just doesn't sound right.

Krieg would know.

So here's a Psycho slamming into your post, Tim - His mask is different, and he has some hair now, but volume control is and always will be for chumps. Some things never change, you know?]

I'M GONNA BE REAL MAD IF THAT'S A JACKOFF AND NOT TIMOTHY LAWRENCE!!

[Hey, Timtams...welcome back 8)]

[secondhandsome]

Gah--!

[OH THAT IS LOUD annnnnnd Tim nearly drops his gear. He manages to scramble and catch it before it falls to the ground, at least.

Give him a second, wow, geez.]

No, nope, definitely not Jack! Not even a little bit.

[HI KRIEG]

[fuelthefire]

[Yup, that's Timothy.]

Mnahahahahahah! Good!

Did Miss Fitz find you yet?

Text, private message

[conniemaheswaran]

[Pokélife is already so goddamn weird. This might as well happen.]

[Connie has been curious about her "boss" ever since he made his introductions. There's no way he's giving her the full story, and until she knows what the hell is up with him, she isn't going to listen to a word he says.]

So are you the good twin or the evil twin? My money's on the good twin, but hey, you never know.

private text

[secondhandsome]

Wouldn't the evil twin just SAY they're the good twin? I mean, just saying, seems like they'd lie about that.

......I mean obviously I'm saying good, because next to Jack I'm good by default, but. Still.

Also not twins.

[conniemaheswaran]

Yeah, I figured as much. What are you then? Clones? Stunt doubles?

I should probably explain why I'm contacting you probably. Due to circumstances beyond my control, Jack is my boss for my foreseeable future. He seems pretty nice so far, but...

Look, all I want to ask is what are the chances of him stabbing me in the back and tossing me to the wayside the moment I'm no longer convenient to him? He's acting very friendly, but I keep on getting the heebie jeebies from him.
