[ Leaving Discedo wasn't that hard for Jack. In fact, it was easy. Obviously he wasn't going to find anything else there, so it was time to look somewhere else- and Spero was a good start. And he's ready to start going somewhere with it.

When the feed clicks on, he's sitting on the ruins of one of those former buildings- in the pouring rain of the

[Gakupo seems to be exploring already and...would like help.]

[thepurpleway]

That's quite odd! And messy...

[ethericbit]

It would've been fun to try it. Those things were so annoying.

[thepurpleway]

[He's giving you a look now, Jack. Gross.]

Well, I thought it would be a good idea to look around this city, but I got lost. I'm not sure if Ace will join us or not.

[ethericbit]

The pirate guy? He'd have to be looking for us to find us. We're in a city!

[thepurpleway]

He was looking for us! I got a video message from him.

[ethericbit]

Oh, yeah, right. Why does he even care, though? I barely know him.

[thepurpleway]

Why shouldn't he care? And that's quite an ungrateful thing to say about someone who offered all of us his own boat to get here, which, by the way, needs dire repairs from the acid rain we sailed through.

[He's very disappointed at this attitude.]

As a captain, it's his duty to worry about his passengers, on or off the boat.

[ethericbit]

It's not like he's our dad or anything! He doesn't have to be so worked up.

You don't have to get so angry about it. I don't really care what happens, so it's not like it matters to me.

[thepurpleway]

He simply asked where we were and if we needed help. How is that getting worked up?

If you didn't care what happens, then why did you come? [Crosses his arms.]

[ethericbit]

[ Jesus Gakupo you are hitting all the wrong buttons here. ]

...I gotta get back- I need to get out of here. There's nothing that's going to get me to the Court in Discedo, but here, there has to be something. I know it.

But I don't care about what happens here.

[thepurpleway]

[Buttons are shiny things...

Gakupo doesn't really comprehend all that Jack is saying. Raises an eyebrow.]

Here as in Spero?

[ethericbit]

Yeah. And if it's not here, it's where some of the other people went. The scientists can't hide things forever.

[thepurpleway]

[Sighs softly. This all seemed rather deep. Deeper than anyone could imagine.] The scientists are behind most of these events?

Is there someplace here you'd like to explore?

[ethericbit]

They've gotta be behind most of it. Maybe some stuff happened 'cos they slipped up, like the bomb going off, but they brought us here.

All of it. Especially the university, it's probably got papers that could tell us why we're here or something.

hope you don't mind the thread-jack

[dontcallmegol]

If that's what you're looking for then you'll want to go the observatory.

{Have a random, and no doubt familiar, voice from near by. Was he listening to your conversation?? MAYBE. But no, he just got there, took a while to find you two.}
