Phsew phsew.

[A moment before the next text. Is this really what constitutes as an emergency, Jack.....]

A spaceship?

[No, Ardyn doesn't actually think that Retropec sent Jack a spaceship, but wouldn't that be something?]

[ Insert selfie of him wearing his wrist blasters idk I don't want to link that goddamn video again, they're big yellow hunks with guns on top. He's also wearing a yellow sweater with HYPERION across the chest in white lettering. ]

look!!
also check my sweet new shirt
i dont have it rn but they also gave me a board game?

[What... on earth.]

Are those functional? [Phsew phsew. Lasers? Really?] Don't tell me you've tested them out?

[he can ask about whatever the hell hyperion is and the board game later]

what the DUCK why is everyone ASKING me that
jeez no i didnt test em out
i remember i was using em to shoot at those butthead commandos is all
weird thing but i remember exactly how to use them?
like if you gave me a target i could probably hit it even tho ive never touched these things before

see im not just letting you know this bc its cool
ardyn these things are IDENTICAL to what i remember in that flashback thing

Are you telling me, then, that Retrospec recreated what you saw in your memories?

[It sounds crazy, but the alternative seems just as weird. Had they somehow gotten hold of this item, from wherever it was Jack had remembered being? In... space? Surely not?]

What's "Hyperion", then? Do you know?

right down to all the little nicks in the paint and that tricky strap on the left
these things are the real deal
not sure what hyperion is supposed to be but the names on the blasters too so im guessing all the crap with that color scheme belongs to it including the guns
some kinda
i dunno
company or something? like retrospec?

this sweater is weird
never seen it in my life but its got that familiar feel
kinda makes me feel safe actually

aw heck what if MY name was hyperion

[ was he phone????? ]

[This is all an awful lot to consider. From what Jack says, it does sound like it's a company of some sort. Not that this helps clear up anything at all.]

Implying that you were head of this corporation? I can't say that it's impossible, given what you've told me in the past. You did mention before that you felt as if you were a sort of boss to the people around you, didn't you? And it would explain all the... luxuries you described before, as well.

jeezus crap that kinda makes sense doesnt it
so hypothetically im some kinda THINGS manufacturer on a space station?
and thats why im ballin and have swimming pools full of what im at least 80% sure were mostly hookers ( but nice expensive hookers not poor hookers )

real question: what abt the diamond ponies though
omg
did i HAVE one??

[ Jack, asking the tough questions. ]

Is it so far-fetched to think that you might? If they existed, maybe you had enough resources to procure one for yourself. You do seem rather fond of them.

Regardless, say all of this is true. What do you think about it? Still excited to know more about this mystery Jack? Jack... Hyperion?

YESSSSS look if i know me
and im p sure i do
i know that i owned a diamond pony or probably invented them in the first place

im gonna call this guy hyperion bc 1. its cool and 2. its easier than us both being jack but heck yeah im psyched
were actually kind of putting a picture together of the guy we think he is and im not gonna lie i like what im seeing
ESPECIALLY if it means getting more of his crap
i mean the implications here on a universal scale are frickin terrifying but i still got zappy guns so yknow right now im pretty ok w all of it

you seriously havent gotten ANYTHING?

As long as you get zappy guns, what else is there to be worried about?

[Jack probably knows Ardyn well enough to hear the sarcasm behind those words, but at the same time he can't really discount his friend's excitement.]

No. I haven't received anything from the Retrospec gods. I must have angered them in some way, and so you're getting enough for the both of us instead. Guns, clothing, and a board game, was it?

yeah its called " bunkers and badbooties "
ugh bad A S S E S
you ever heard of it?
looks like some weird dnd knockoff

i mean i THINK it is anyway its not like im familiar with dnd or anything

[ NEEERRRRRRRD ]

No, I've never heard of it.

But despite you not being familiar with it [HE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU...] it would be remiss of us not to look into this game further. So, roleplaying, is it?

[He at least knows what D&D is, and can draw that parallel.]

yeah but i dont get the character types?
theres some weird ones
like wtf is a gunzerker
i got the really creatively named BAD A S S edition so i have little figurines too
you should come over and look at them sometime see what you think
maybe we can get some people to play it for
research purposes

A gunzerker would be... a berserker with guns?

[Lo...gic? Years of law school, finally paying off.]

And I'd be more than happy to. You know, for research purposes. Think we can manage to twist anyone else's arm to join?

thank god we have you around ardyn i dont know how wed live w/out your incredible deductive skills

[ but he's teasing, pinging back with some dumb winky face emoji. ]

i got a couple folks in mind
im sure we can get liz in on it and i KNOW your nephews gonna be game if we bring him a nice satanic bible to chew on
idk got anybody else in mind?

No Satanic bibles necessary. Your cats should be motivation enough, honestly, if you're hosting it at your place.

I can reach out and see if anyone else is interested. Prompto seems the type who might enjoy something like this.

[A pause.]

Are you on speaking terms with Bigby? [Or are things still Awkward.]

im worried abt that kid being near my cats and its not for the cats sake
but yeah promptod probably be hype af
iiiiii dunno if i should check w any other students bc yknow
i kinda got a rep

[ A pause to match. ]

ya know i shouldnt do this but im kinda over it
hes never gonna live it down mind you im gonna bring that shit up like every chance i get but ive had worse done to me from better " friends " than him
sitch wasnt so great either
he really cares about her
like a lot
like an assault lot

[If this weren't text, Ardyn would have shrugged right about now.]

Love drives men and women alike to act irrationally. I would know; I've studied the cases for it.

But they say forgiveness is divine. Show him how godly you are.

aww darlin you always know just what to say

[ 100% about being called godly. yes good. ]

Edited 2017-04-16 00:58 (UTC)

Anything for you.

[Even if it involves boosting Jack's ego.]

Let me know when you're hoping to start this little experiment. [Of B&B he means.] I'll send the invite out to those who might be interested.
