Ninety-fourth Mission [Audio // Common]

[shadesofeco]

[Long, awkward silence.]

I'm ... missing some things.

[Locked to Bass // 45% unhackable]

This isn't over.

(( OOC: Jak is missing his goggles, boots, tunic, pants, scarf, leather harness, arm wraps and waist wrap; silly boy wasn't wearing his armor. Strikethroughs have already been claimed everything's gone! :3 ))

What isn't over?

[Sounds of things being moved in the background.]
And what is missing?

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

[Everyone stares, fff, but she'll step into Jak's room slowly. Just in case he changes his mind, which she is fully expecting.]

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

[He waits before closing the door behind her. Jak walks over to the wall and leans back, folding his arms.]

So who is Bass to you?

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

... Someone who has tried to be better than my older brother ever since they first fought.

[A pause, before she continues.]

He hasn't won.

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

[That doesn't tell Jak much.

But then he's used to working with little information.]

He killed my father.

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

...

King Damas?

[Well Jak may not have a lot of information, but Roll does.

Although she's guessing with what she does know here.]

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

Yes.

Damas.

[He looks straight at her.]

You know about it.

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

[If Jak is expecting Roll to flinch or look away, as she looks up back at him, then he'll be disappointed.]

He answered my questions when I asked about people who have had run ins with Bass, yes.

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

[Damas would.]

Why'd you want to know?

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

[No gory details, oddly enough.]

Because I need to know who I have to take care of... but I guess that didn't work.

[Roll is disappointed in herself here, because she honestly wanted to try and keep Bass from hurting people.]

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

I can take care of myself.

[Even though he just, y'know, died.]

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

[Jak, Jak. You now have a little girl giving you a Look that pretty much says "Yeah, says the guy who just DIED". She does not believe you.]

You're only human, mister.

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

I'm more than that.

[But he reaches up and scrubs a hand through his hair.]

Bass hates me probably for a very good reason. I hate him for leaving my father to die.

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

You're still human though.

[She honestly isn't sure if she should say this, but she does anyway. And she says it with the closest thing to venom in her tone too.]

Bass is incapable of doing anything good, unless it benefits himself.

[commentlog!]

[shadesofeco]

[That response surprises him, and Jak relaxes just slightly.]

You don't like him.

[commentlog!]

[kazeyotsutaete]

... He constantly tries to fight my brother, he's killed people here on this ship, why shouldn't I not like him?

[Although Roll has seen Bass do good, hearing about what he's done on the ship is souring her opinion just a bit.]
