Oh, god.

[ Why is this his life? Why must he be shat upon all the time? He doesn't deserve this. (He deserves some things, probably, but not this! No one deserves this, except maybe Vasquez, but he's dead and gone, and Rhys is suffering in this world of cute animals and, apparently, murderous ex-bosses who aren't... actually dead...? ]

It's not like I knew that's what he wanted to use it for! I didn't even want it in my head, all I wanted was to show up Vasquez and give that douchebag some payback!

[thedifferencebetween]

Now you know! Isn't knowledge a wonderful thing?

[Jack offers a wide grin.]

So to make myself crystal clear: I'm a real dude and refuse to be judged by some AI sex toy a crazy man made with my face, I'm doing really well for myself here, and you want to stay on my good side. Which you are...for now.

[Not that he's going to give any indication, but Jack...he's lacking for people. Actual people. Sure, he's got his moronic Rocket team but they're idiots. Carly's the smartest one and she's like...he doesn't know, but a kid of some kind. Rhys is at least smarter than what he's working with now. And also Hyperion, he knows how things work. He's useful, he'd be good to have around!]

Just in case you're not getting what I'm laying down here...until you give me some reason to be pissed off at you, we're cool. I get that AI Jack tried to kill you or whatever, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna.

[woundandoutofbagels]

Yyyyyeahhhh super cool!

[ Man, his life was going so great. And now this happens. Why him? What has he done to deserve this?

... Okay, he's not gonna answer that question. Not even to himself.

The thing is, he's aware of how terrifying Jack can be. Maybe the AI had been a little... off, but Rhys can't drop his guard at all. Not even with the reassurance that Jack won't, like, murder him if he gets pissed off. So Rhys just has to watch his back.

All day.

Every day.

For the rest of his life here.

He's not paranoid. He's sensible. ]

I mean-- I'm, uh. I'm-- I'm not really looking to get myself in any trouble, sssssooo... Yeah. Yeah, I got you. Totally. 100 percent got.

[ He's still nervous!! But at least he's not dead! ]

[thedifferencebetween]

Smart guy! Good, that's what I like to hear.

[Jack is pacified for now.]

Come on, I'll buy ya a burger and a beer. Don't get much chance to hang out with anybody from home, it'll be nice. Know a dude from some other dimension who sells weapons in space, though, so we hang out and talk shop.

[Jack starts moving...and is immediately stopped up short. He glances behind him....to see Doom Boner has laid down on the sidewalk.
His eyes are already half closed and he's drooling.]

Oh shit! Oh no no no... Alright, help me with this, he's not getting up unless we actually put him on his feet. This friggin dog...

[woundandoutofbagels]

Wait, uh, really? I mean-- sure. I could go for a burger and beer.

[ This is. Absolutely bizarre. Having a drink and food with his old dead boss? ... Who might not have died? He doesn't know if Jack is just bullshitting him or if this is weird alien shit. God, maybe he really needs that drink.

... before that though. ]

Does he... does he do that a lot? [ He goes over and kneels down. ] He looks like a... a pretty hefty dog.

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah, he does this a lot. It was real cute when he was a little puppy, now it's the bane of my existence.

[Jack sighs as he crouches down and shoves his hands underneath his obese Pokemon. He's done this before. A lot.]

And he's not hefty, he's disgusting. See that one right there? The sleek one covered in bones? That's what he's supposed to look like. I'm trying to make him exercise. He hates it. Okay, start lifting. D. B, get your fat ass up, I swear to fuck I will leave you in a sewer for Muk to eat...

[It's all idle threats - if Jack hasn't abandoned the dog yet, he's not going to. Stupid and fat as Doom Boner is, Jack's...attached to him.]
