[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.

Right, yeah, that makes sense, just um.

I don't know. [Ten years.] Kind of a wild concept to me right now, maybe. I guess I don't really consider myself, uh...

[Worth remembering.]

[secondhandsome]

A-Anyway, that's good, though! I'm glad to hear that.

[HA HA MOVING ON]

[a_sin_for_him]

I knew the chances of you returning were almost none, but...

'Almost' is apparently enough.

[thedifferencebetween]

So it's gonna be like this, huh?

I probably don't gotta tell you you're making a really big mistake, but hey! Whatever. It's your life to ruin.

It's not like I need you anymore, you're...yeah, you're pretty disposable these days.

[secondhandsome]

What're you gonna do about it? Brand my face? Oh wait.

[yeah fuck you too jack]

I'm-- [Okay Tim come on you can do this.] I'm not scared of you, Jack.

[thedifferencebetween]

That's just part of your job, Number Two.

Oh, that sounds like a challenge!

Ya know what? We're gonna have fun, you and me. Well. Mostly me.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, guess so.

I'm... really glad to be here again.

[secondhandsome]

Sorry, were you saying something? Yeah, I've gotten so used to tuning out your voice, that was just... all static to me.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, the lack of guns helps. Back where I'm from, you can get them in vending machines.

[IT'S THAT KINDA PLACE]

...Myeah, I think I'll just wait for a ride, I'm not making the trek through all that snow. It is... way too freaking cold.

[thedifferencebetween]

[Jack just leans back and flips both middle fingers at the 'gear before flipping his off.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Then that makes the pair of us.

I still can't quite believe you're still here.

[Or that it's been ten years for him.]

[starrypoint]

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.]

[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.

[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]

Honestly, same here. Took me a bit after waking up here to be sure I wasn't just dreaming or something.

[It might've taken him a while. Listen. It was a lot.]

[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]

[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?

[a_sin_for_him]

I can't blame you for that. It doesn't matter, you're back. And I will be there by sundown.

Though the weather could be a bit more amenable for traveling...

[secondhandsome]

Guess I've got bad timing, huh?

[yeah the weather is not ideal]

[a_sin_for_him]

We've always had poor timing, my darling. We're simply remaining true to established themes.

I'll bring you your winter coat and gloves.

[secondhandsome]

Right... right. You're, ah, a vault hunter, right? I think I remember hearing about you, yeah.

[Oh, boy, the Jack rants he had to put up with.]

Good, okay, now I don't have to have the "I'm not Jack" talk, that's always a plus. So... I'm Timothy. Don't know if anyone mentioned my real name or not, but hey, feels good introducing myself with it.

[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?

[notyourgoddess]

Yeah. Also a siren but that's not so much a thing here.

[Oh god. Maya only had to deal with Jack ranting at them over the echos and that was horrible enough. Tim you poor soul.]

I think Krieg might have but I wasn't really sure if that was your name or just a nickname he gave you. Nice to meet you Timothy. I apologize in advance if I ever mistake you for that asshole.

[secondhandsome]

Hah... guess so.

You're the best, you know that?

[secondhandsome]

Oh, right, the siren. That's-- I mean, I guess that doesn't matter much here, yeah. But that's still pretty cool.

[Of course, last time he got a good look at siren powers was when Lilith and Jack had their whole thing in the vault and that was.

Okay, well, it was cool, it just didn't work out super great for him, personally.]

That's alright, really, I'm uh... I'm pretty used to it. Kind of just what happens with the face, you know. I mean, hey, I have the same problem when I look in the mirror sometimes!

[tim that's super sad]
