Re: Jack | Borderlands The Pre-Sequel

[uncutetomboy]

Akane doesn't know why she's back in Cherrygrove when everything just makes her remember Connie more and more. Well, no, she does sort of know. Mostly it's just that there's no warps to New Bark, so if she wants to catch the ferry to Pallet Town, like she's been thinking about doing, and just-- going over to Kanto and trying the whole pokemon journey again from the beginning, this time on her own... well. If she's going to do that, she has to hit the road in Cherrygrove.

"Mr Jack--?"

Akane hasn't talked to either of Connie's adopted uncles since Connie disappeared, so it's just startling to see him here. Especially since...

"What happened to your mask?" she asks, confused. Akane Tendo is not the most observant creature in the world, but even she can tell when a guy isn't wearing the mask that she's never seen him without.

"Uh...what now? Who the hell are you?"

This is weird. Why is everything so weird here? He's still got the headache he'd woken up here with - high stress situations and being shot at and punched and thrown around like a pinball will do that to a guy. And this is still a pretty stressful situation. Displaced, no answers, no idea where he is or how the hell to get home...

And now this.

This Cherrygrove place better not be lying about that spa.

[uncutetomboy]

"Akane Tendo?" she says, frowning a bit. "Um, I was Connie's girlfriend? Connie who worked for you? And was sort of like a niece to you? You don't remember either of us?"

She didn't talk to Mr Jack very often and she knew he was busy and didn't always remember everyone's names unless he was reminded of them, but they'd met before! She'd called to wish him happy birthday!

[almosthandsome]

"Kid I woke up here like three days ago, I have no clue what you're talking about and it's starting to freak me out, so....I'm gonna go with I'm not who you think I am."

None of these names mean anything to him and the last thing he wants right now is any more weirdness he doesn't understand. A man only has so much capacity for crazy bullshit and his was already getting tested before he ended up here. He highly doubts Pickles' real name is 'Connie' and that's the only kid that's ever worked for him in any capacity. He also highly doubts Pickles could get a girlfriend.

"But hey, if you could point me to the spa that's supposedly around here, that'd be really helpful and make up for weirding me out!"

[uncutetomboy]

He definitely sounds like Mr Jack, even if he doesn't have the mask and has a tiny little triangle beard instead. On the other hand, Mr Jack's been here for a lot longer than three days. She knows that much.

"I guess I can. Oh, but you need to be careful. There's sneaky quagsire that sometimes break into your hotel room and try to steal your things. It happened when I first got here, nine months ago. Anyway, follow me?"

And she'll start leading him towards the spa, thinking hard about it as she does.

"Maybe he's your relative," she says finally. "Uh, Mr Jack I mean. Just because he does kind of look like you, but he's older and he wears a mask. I think his first name is 'Handsome?'"

(She's not entirely sure, though.)

[almosthandsome]

"One I don't have any male relatives, two...you ever heard the phrase 'read the room'? Might wanna try it, kid."

He doesn't know what a 'quagsir' or whatever is and he doesn't have anything worth stealing anyway so he's not gonna concern himself with that. Honestly he doesn't want to think about much of anything he's learned today. Or possibly the past few days, he's not sure yet. Okay, he'll have to deal with it at some point but he's hoping after he can relax and find a bar.

"I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything I just got a lot going on, got a lot on my mind, lot to deal with."

[uncutetomboy]

They're not in a room, Akane wants to protest, but she knows that Mr Jack's Long-Lost Cousin or Something doesn't mean it literally. She's pretty sure he is related to Mr Jack, even if he says he's not. They're just too similar not to be family.

"I guess you would if you just got here," she admits. "Especially if you had to deal with the Fake Mom. She's pretty much the worst."

(Look, when your real mom has been dead since you were little, having some random lady claim to be your mom is super distressing.)
