day 9

[heroizes]

unfortunately have to admit that the staff actually did something kind of useful since I can send more than one message a day now. kinda been using the two I had so far to send hate mail (no regrets)

first of all now that I know for sure that it was that crazy asshole, sorry about rhys. he probably stabbed you because we're friends or something equally as insane. I have no idea and I don't give a shit about his logic there. but still sorry since that was at least my fault for not taking him seriously

you staying hydrated? eating your wheaties? nah I'm just kidding I don't think you'll even get that reference so how are you doing

[OH SHIT IT'S JACK.

Oh shit it also takes Sakyou like 1000 years to write back, please bear with grandpa.]

So you really are alive?

In a sense. I'm still not entirely sure that I understand what everyone is talking about, especially with Judy interfering, but this is really Jack, isn't it?

[He's... kind of relieved, honestly. Being unable to do anything to stop Jack's death had been - unpleasant, to say the least. That last look had only reaffirmed his resolve to escape alive, but he wishes he could have taken Jack with him.]

I'm doing as well as can be expected. We're still treating our injuries and Rhys is nowhere to be found. The next trial is going to be difficult on everyone I believe.

You aren't in pain wherever you are, are you?

[heroizes]

alive isn't really the best word to use, but neither is dead obviously... I know what we are but it's still pretty weird. like this was all theoretical stuff so the fact that they actually did it is

ehh nevermind if I get to into that it'll probably get redacted and it doesn't matter much so w/e

wish I could help with the Rhys situation, since there's no one that wants to kick his ass more than me, but I haven't seen him either. but hey just because it'll piss him off, go to the tech lab. second floor, look to the wall panels and you'll see one that's just a little off at the floor. jam a screwdriver in there and open it up. he's got a cubbyhole in the wall, and that's where he's hiding his shit. like please take all his peaches and just dump them all out on the ground

[ #petty ]

but no, I'm not. it's... weird here but I couldn't call it bad. judy at least set up an okay quasi-afterlife

[modissty]

If I were to take his peaches I would at least eat them or share them with Ookurikara.

[That's probably exactly what he'll end up doing THANKS JACK.]

In any case I can't imagine he'll be living much longer so if the staff truly go to wherever the rest of you are, you should have your chance to avenge yourself soon. When that time comes, I'm certain you'll be alright.

[BUT WAIT, more importantly--]

Judy is the one who saved you then?

[heroizes]

oh nice that's even better. that'll SUPER piss him off so yeah do that. you're the best sakyou

[ jack and rhys are such bad people that eating and sharing is worse than dumping them all on the floor... ]

oh yeah, basically. like she's just kind of standing outside 24/7 and it's really goddamn creepy but otherwise it's okay

also she's hot which is just as weird

[modissty]

[THAT'S... well. Borderlands are gonna Borderland even in an AU.]

I figure it's the least I could do, given how little I was actually able to help in the end.

[Rest well knowing that he'll steal Rhys's peaches and make his presumably last few days alive just a little more miserable.

Also, what.]

What? So Judy is a real person after all?

Can we kill her?

[heroizes]

Ehhh something like that. It gets. Weird. Like on one hand here I know she's definitely a person and then the other I'm saying nah she's just an AI but that's because [ CONTENT REDACTED ] so it gets really hard to distinguish

You can probably kill her yeah but don't. Nnnot until you know more about how this works because I mean taking a guess here, you kill Judy, we all go dark and for real die.

So yeah don't go trampling into some situation like a herd of space marines otherwise we're screwed

[modissty]

[Somewhere in the graveyard, Charles is starting to sweat.]

Alright, that's all I need to know.

[About Judy, anyway. Fortunately he's not a space marine, so "hey we'll die don't heckin do it" is a good enough reason for him to not do the thing.]

Is there anything else that I can do to help you in the meantime, though? Or anyone else there? Kei is there with you too, right?

[heroizes]

yeah, there are people here. don't see everybody, but I think I've seen that Kei dude wandering around? haven't talked to him though. not actually in the mood for much talking to the people here. like nothing personal against them but kind of just reminds me that I'm in some weird quasi afterlife

that and I'm admittedly just waiting for rhys to get here

once I kick his ass I'll be able to chill probably

[modissty]

[HE GETS IT. If someone killed him he'd basically be a restless ghost until he had the chance to avenge himself... So he's really trying to help out and be kind when he says:]

Then we'll do our best to ensure that he dies immediately. Please work out your anger so that you can enjoy wherever you are at least a little more. Perhaps if you aim well he may die a second time and you will only need to deal with him once.

[In case Jack forgot that Sakyou is a problem child too.]
