Man. Man. You guys are just, ahahah, just a riot. The guy tied to his bed, the guy trapped in his room, that one weird couple having a blow-out — like, hello, you know we can all see that, right? [ he gives a sigh-chuckle. ] Ahh, bandits.

Aaaanyway, just wanted to check in with everyone, say hi, introduce myself. It's Handsome Jack — yes, the Handsome is legally part of my name, yes, you can just call me Jack, though I will also respond to "sir" and occasionally, "daddy". Some of you have already met me: I'd do shout outs but I've mostlyyy, uh, forgotten all your names? Sorry, kids. Thanks for helping me kill those ugly titty monsters. There's always a job for you at Hyperion.

One last thing, promise I'll make it quick. Space travel. If you know shit about building something that can leave atmo, see me after class. If you know anything about what galaxy and sector we're in, raise your hand. If you're riding out in the desert on one'a these divine spirit quests and you think "boy, that old hunk of scrap looks like it could be useful in constructing a rocket!"? Gimme a call. There could be something in it for you.

Okay kids, that's all for now. Remember to check bloodflow to your partner's bound hands every hour so they don't lose 'em. Jack out.

Uhhh, no? I feel like I'm living up to it just fine.

Figures. You do seem the delusional type, especially if you think a spacecraft of any sort is going to get you home, but I'm down for you building something up. [ If only to watch it come crashing down in a fiery explosion of, she doesn't know, fiery spaceship explosions. ]

[ex_break829]

Wowwww, downer much? Home's a long way off, sweetheart, but I believe that together we can really get there. Don't you?

[coheres]

[ The ultimate Debbie downer, for sure. ]

I believe our focus should be on the Door, not space travel. Too many people come from too many different timelines, not to mention the universes we hail from tend to be vastly different than one another.

[ex_break829]

See, I think the Door should be a priority, but we're not gonna manage to find shit without getting out from under the so-called gods' manipulative thumbs. Maybe that means getting a satellite up to see what else is on this planet without a long walk, orrr maybe we could get people into space, I dunno. But if we're gonna be stuck here for the rest of our newly immortal lives, can't hurt to think long-term.

You want immortality then you'll find yourself constantly attached to Hope's ass seeing as he's one of the lovely hosts that you want to get out from under and you won't get to keep that immortality if that happens; he's kind of the only one that can do that here. [ A pause and it's almost thoughtful but it's not something she'd ever truly consider. ] We could try to find a way to control them, force them to use their powers in ways only we deem necessary, but I really can't see that being a viable option.

He's, for some reason, super attached to the rest of the dickbags we have to deal with. [ And Hope is her least favorite now that Sorrow is dead and she wants him gone next. Sacrifice him in the name of the Order, turn him into a toad, make a god soup out of him, she doesn't give a shit. ]
