[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.]

[insidescoop]

[Bit of a slow, grimacing nod there but...Yeah.

Yeah...] Aaaaaah...it's probably gonna be a thing yeah...

But resemblances aside, at least we've got that out of the way! I'm Carly~ Nice to meet you, and...oof, really sorry for how many are probably going to ask the same thing I did, yikes...

[secondhandsome]

No, no, it's fine. It's fine! I had to have the Jack talk a bunch of times when I was here last time, too, I'm used to it. It's pretty much the first thing I have to tell people.

[he hates his life]

...Timothy, by the way. Iiiiiiis my name.

[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.

[insidescoop]

Hihhh, that's somehow not surprising...

Timothy~ Got it! I'm getting the feeling that you're probably a lot easier to get along with, [she jokes, perhaps nervously.]

[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?

[secondhandsome]

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

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

[a_sin_for_him]

I'm painfully sentimental when it comes to those I care about.

I kept your typewriter, too. The radio show's still going.

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]

[secondhandsome]

That's not setting the bar very high, kiddo. But thanks anyway.

[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.

[insidescoop]

Ahaaaa...

Oh right you were. Trying to get somewhere huh. I can't really offer much there but...good luck I guess? If you're where I think you are, that's a pretty long walk otherwise...........

[secondhandsome]

The... [He has to take a moment, there. He's got a full decade of memories now and remembering things from before is a bit of a struggle. He's working on it.] ...Oh, damn, really?

Well, I guess it was only a couple of years on this end, but. Still.

[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]

New Bark. Yeah, it's a ways away... I think? I don't remember how far it is. Not ideal in this weather, but... I'll figure it out.

It's not so bad, walking here. There's oxygen and no one trying to shoot you, so, pretty alright, really.

[insidescoop]

I can definitely confirm, no one has guns! [Holy shit! What the hell place did you come from!]

Mmmmn, looking at my map...I would give it about two weeks..? A bit more?

That's assuming you stick to going north after Violet, obviously...Geeze this is really horrible weather for that...

[secondhandsome]

[oh. hello.]

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

[a_sin_for_him]

What was I going to do? Get rid of what was left of you?
