1st Match // [video | action] New Bark Town

[fuelthefire]

[The video feed starts off with an eye.

Just one, surrounded by what looks like a mask. After a moment, the eye pulls away and the rest of the mask, which completely covers the owner's face minus the one eye, is revealed.

The voice underneath the mask is guttural and growling, but perfectly audible despite the barrier.]

Mother said to have fun and be careful.

[He rolls his eye and grumbles a bit, quietly at first but quickly growing louder. As he speaks he changes from his indoor voice to his outdoor voice, barking out the words louder and louder as he brings the camera close to his face again:]

How can I HAVE FUN WITHOUT MY AXE!??

[Somebody mad.]

Not wrong. He's here, and I've talked to him several times.

[... athena knows that psychos have a very... colorful language... but god. the chance of that happening is enough to make even her crack a smile.

BUT WAIT she can't get caught on that. There's something else, before he goes completely off...]

There's also another man here. A doppleganger of Jack. [Her voice drops to a low, dangerous tone. She's not necessarily threatening him, but she wants to make it clear that she means business.] Don't even lay a finger on him, understand? He's one of us. The one I traveled with.

[Oh, it happened, Athena. You can smile all you like, because Handsome Jack Face TP is fact.]

Gnghhnghhh...!!

[He has no reason to disbelieve her, and he grumbles angrily and drops his gaze as he tries and fails to come to terms with that information. So it takes him a few moments to react to her next statement, twitching his head back up and refocusing his eye on her, first wide, then narrow.]

Burn the original, keep the copy?

[video]

[kissmyaspis]

Exactly.

[Good. As long as they're clear on this situation.]

There area few others here. A couple of ex-Hyperions. [Emphasis on the ex. Her voice isn't as deadly as it was previously, but she makes it clear that they're not to be messed with either.] And a new Vault Hunter. I trained her myself.

No skags, no psychos, no loaders, only soft animals and soft people - nothing to maim, no one to kill.

[He's not going to attack anyone unless they attack him first. He sits up straight, popping his spine, and rolls his shoulders.]

Just Jack.

[Oh boy, is he gonna kill the stuffing out of Jack.]

[video]

[kissmyaspis]

Precisely.

... Apparently they have a competent police force on this planet. Not that that's ever stopped anyone before, but. That might put a wrench in any ideas you might be brewing in your head.

[Honestly, the idea of a police force actually doing their job is probably one of the weirdest things about this planet.]

[video]

[fuelthefire]

[He shakes his head at that, and laughs - no, no, that does not put a single wrench in any of his ideas.]

Mnghahahahhaha! Sounds like a challenge!

[video]

[kissmyaspis]

A challenge that might actually be a challenge. From what I've been told, the police are actually a forced to be reckoned with on this planet.

[It's not even a warning; Athena just sounds amused. Who on Pandora has even heard of such a thing? Hell, even the Edens have shitty police!]

[video]

[fuelthefire]

[He hasn't been here for very long, admittedly - a few hours, tops - but he's already drawing a few conclusions about this place, himself.]

Compared to what? A box of kittens?

[He'll believe in a competent police force when he sees one. And he doubts he will.]
