As I've recently moved into a more permanent location, I believe it only makes sense to make my surroundings more functional. Unfortunately, this is a task I can't undertake on my own. I need a number of things to make this work, and I'm hoping that they can be provided for me

... Payment for tearing stuff down?

I could get behind that.

[father_complex]

That's the idea.

Would you have any interest in helping building the addition?

Also, I don't believe we've met, can I ask your name?

[artist_of_anger]

Name's Jak. I haven't got any useful skills in the 'rebuilding' part, but I can handle guns, explosives, and general violence with ease.

[father_complex]

Noted. It sounds as if you could even do the demolition on your own.

Thank you for expressing interest, Jak. I'll contact you when I have a team together.

[artist_of_anger]

Its a field I know like the back of my blistered, burned hand.

Later then, Lex.

[father_complex]

I feel rude. I just realized that you're staying in Cabin 1 as well, correct?

[artist_of_anger]

Yeah, I am. I'm not a talkative type though. Won't bother anyone.

[father_complex]

I'm sure you won't. Good to meet you and have you around, Jak.

[artist_of_anger]

Yeah... you too.

You're with Clark, right?

[father_complex]

In a manner of speaking -- he's my best friend from home, though we didn't arrive here together.

[artist_of_anger]

Heh. Just... thinking it's kinda funny, the way you and him... you seem different.

[father_complex]

Different is one way to describe it. Clark is easily the better man of the two of us, but I suppose opposites attract.

[artist_of_anger]

Wasn't really referring to that. The guy walked into a monster-infested cave armed with nothing else but confidence, because he thought it was the right thing to do. You seem like you've got a whole lot more... hell, I don't really know how to make this sound not insulting. You seem like you'd take a lot more afterthought into something like that.

[father_complex]

A monster infested cave? What was he doing in there?

It's true, Clark works on a natural sense of justice and emotion; I on the other hand can't shake the fact that I am very aware of the consequences of my actions.

Covering the ass of this one girl who organised a treasure hunt. Funny thing is, she could... ah hell, should be used by now, blow magic bubbles which could cause damage, somehow, and cast incapacitating spells. Felt like he was more meat-shield than anything else, but like I said: he was armed with confidence.

I know. Been on both sides of that fence.

[father_complex]

That sounds like the Clark I know.

Have you? Has the change come with age, or experience, or bother?
