[Well, this has been a shitty month. What the hell happened? Vault Hunters everywhere, Crimson Raiders, his own employees turning on him? None of this is cool. None of this is acceptable.]

[But he's not going to let on that he's less than thrilled or maybe a little bit nervous. Nope, everything's fine. And he's still got a business to run and a secret organization to work for. This is all just a hiccup. So he tosses up a quick message on the public network]

Hey, so...been a lot of excitement lately. Someone left a door open and a whole bunch of riffraff got in! I mean, have you seen some of the people popping up around here? Sheesh! Not to mention...you know. The built in insanity of this planet. That's...that's a thing.

Anyway...if my people could check in with me, that'd be great. You know who you are. Gotta get moving on all our plans, here! You know my private line.

[And because Jack's not happy and needs to lash out....time to make Rhys' life miserable. Well, more miserable.]

Oh, and Rhys? Hey cupcake, I want my shirt back! That was a walk of shame loaner, not a gift.

Riffraff. Really.

[That is an incredibly unimpressed-sounding young lady responding to you, Jack.]

You might want to clarify who you're talking about, sir, because my best friend recently showed up and "riffraff" is not, in any capacity, an accurate descriptor for her.

[Is she being a little rude? Yeah, maybe, but having Roxy here is nothing short of a miracle, she'll be snappish all she likes.]

[Audio]

[thedifferencebetween]

Then I'm probably not talking about her.

[Wow, defensive much, kiddo? If your friend isn't riffraff, than clearly this isn't about her.]

You notice the murdering psychopath screaming about axes and bragging about killing my girlfriend? That's the kinda thing I'm talking about.

[Audio]

[cyan_maid]

[Of course defensive. Roxy is literally the only one out of four kids who managed to not be a total screw-up.]

Oh, that guy. I didn't see much more than his initial..."question" about his axe. It would be kind of stupid to respond to something like that.

[Tim has to think for a while before he replies. Because after last time... Well, he hadn't meant for that to go the way it did. All he wanted was to just find a way to stick with Athena and not piss off Jack, he definitely didn't have any illusions about outright quitting. That just wasn't gonna happen.

Still, ever since that last threatening text message, he's been scared to talk to his boss again. Still, there's... there's probably no avoiding him forever. If Tim doesn't check in now, he'll probably just make things even worse.

...But oh dear lord, that final part.]

Oh my god, so it really was like that.

[What the fuck, Rhys?

...Wait. Wait, shit, did he already turn on the audio feed? Aw hell.]

I mean, uh... h-hey, sir. Hi.

[thedifferencebetween]

What the hell are you babbling about?

I take this to assume you're en route to Goldenrod now?

[because otherwise, #2 sure as hell doesn't count as 'his people'.]

[secondhandsome]

[Oh, okay, so that's still like that. That's... awesome. Just perfect.

Not that Jack's really the type to change his mind a lot, but... it... it could've happened. Maybe.]

Uh... Nnnnnot exactly?

[This was such a mistake why did he even reply to this why is this is goddamn life.]

[Voice]

[grapeeater]

'Plans'.

[Why does he not like the sound of that.]

Anyway, it's rude to talk about something relating to sex lives on the network.

[Voice]

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah, I got some new Pokemon. Cute little shits. Gonna launch a new card line. Got big plans.

[This is why he has the stupid business in the first place.]

Maybe where you come from!

[Voice]

[grapeeater]

What, like trading cards?

[He rolls his eyes a bit.]

That sort of gossip is stupid, anyway. It's no one else's business.

[ OHHHhoho, Rhys isn't happy. ]

Did you HAVE to put it that way? Do you know how that sounds?!

video;

[thedifferencebetween]

Oh, relax, pumpkin!

Who cares what the neighbors know?

[Oh yeah, he knows how it sounds. That was the intention. Have fun with your new friends now, Rhys!]

I do want it back, though.

[coolskeleton_95]

HOW KIND TO LEND YOUR SHIRT TO THE SHIRTLESS! BUT, HOW CAN A WALK BE SHAMEFUL? EXERCISE IS ANYTHING BUT!

[thedifferencebetween]

[Oh god, this guy...]

...so you remember when I taught you about 'key parties'?

Yeah, this is gonna go like that.

[veggie_vamp]

Am I one of your people?

[She genuinely/honestly doesn't know.]

[thedifferencebetween]

Uh...not really, I was thinking like my employees and important people and stuff.

But hey, thanks for popping up anyway! How's tricks?

[One of the really, really frustrating things about Jack's cyber bullying bullshit on Pandora had been the one-way-ness of the guy's audio commentary. He just flipped in as he pleased, said whatever the heck he felt like saying, and then flipped out again without so much as waiting around to hear if anyone had any questions.

No one ever had, but, still. The option to say so would have been nice.

But now...Now, that option exists.

Krieg's voice is a quiet growl for the moment:]

Don't you ever shut up?

[The most important, burning question of all.]

audio;

[thedifferencebetween]

Now would I ever do that?

Don't you have some children to barbecue? Shoo. Shoo!

audio;

[cardboard_boss]

You're talking about all the people from Pandora, right? Including the tribal warrior guy, Krieg?

[Because tribal warrior sounded better than raving psycho, right? Snake had rather liked the guy in the end for all his ranting's about wanting to rip Jack's lungs out.]

audio;

[thedifferencebetween]

Obviously.

First of all, the term is Psycho. Second of all, why are you using his name? Like he's someone you know and also deserves to have a people name?

[shiro2hero]

From what I understand, no one really had a choice in showing up here.

I doubt they want to be here any more than you want them here.

[thedifferencebetween]

Someone has a say in it. Obviously not us, but...it's not like this kinda crap just happens.

[notachocobo]

How exactly do you get that this place is insane?

[Because it's pretty normal compared to some of the stuff he's dealt with, sir.]

And you might want to work on your welcome wagon skills.

[Video]

[thedifferencebetween]

It probably started the day I randomly woke up here with no explanation. The freakish weather, random memory loss, non-existence of any weapons or governmental structure...

Take your friggin pick.

Why? I'm not the welcome wagon. I'm a guy who's sick of murderers and bandits from the homestead showing up every damn weekend.

It has been a troubling month... [ A month that had started off enjoyable and immediately was soured when the ghost Pokemon took it upon themselves to... help. ]

How have you been?

[ Of course she fixates on trying to make sure he's doing well―as well as one could be in a place of this nature. ]

video;

[thedifferencebetween]

You're damn right it's been! So much for 'this place is so nice and peaceful!'.

Honestly, sweetheart? Pretty friggin tired. How 'bout you?
