3rd Wrench [Dictated]

[black_dog_bite]

[Yeah, the castle was an impressive castle and all, but it just wasn't Jet's cup of tea. Something about it gave him the creeps.

There were a lot of things about home he missed. Being stationed at that old Martian dock was one of them. Having found an old shack near the lake, Jet decided that this was more to his liking. His room in the castle is vacant for the time being.

He sits on a dock on the lake, nearby the cottage he'd found. Opening his new journal, he speaks, talking to no one in particular, but whoever would be able to give him some information.]

Tell me some more about those pirate ships.

A waterfall? If the ships did go over, they'd be pretty banged up.

Yeah, people said it was the edge of the world, but I don't know... Paradisa-magic-shenanigans were probably involved.

Re: dictated

[black_dog_bite]

There's that word again. Magic...

Wonder whatever happened to 'em.

[optimystic]

I guess your world doesn't have magic?

[black_dog_bite]

In stories and fairy tales. It never really existed where I'm from.
It's been taking me a while to get used to here.

[optimystic]

I get that, it was the same in my world.

[black_dog_bite]

Makes me feel not so alone in a big place like this.

[optimystic]

It is a pretty big place huh?

Well then it's official! Since this place can be pretty crazy and we come from normal worlds, I'll make sure to look after you! [adgkahd oh maya]

[black_dog_bite]

Oh, there's no need for that!
Besides, who's gonna look after you?

[optimystic]

Me, of course! I can handle taking someone cool under my wing on top of looking after myself.

[black_dog_bite]

Someone cool, huh?

[Is flattered!]

[black_dog_bite]

More power to you, then.

[optimystic]

[aw.... she's grinning, even if you can't see it over the journal] Then that's that.

So what's your name? I'm Maya Fey!

[black_dog_bite]

I'm Jet Black.

[optimystic]

Woah..... [there's a pause, and then she says his name in a really dramatic hushed voice] Jet Black...!

So sorry for the late response!

[black_dog_bite]

... What's wrong with it?

don't worry :3

[optimystic]

It's just a really cool name! The kind of name that says "I eat danger for breakfast"!

[black_dog_bite]

[Jet chuckled.]

I seem to be on a low-danger diet these days...

[optimystic]

These days? What about back in your world?

[black_dog_bite]

A long time ago, I used to be a cop. After a while, the system got too corrupt, so I took up bounty hunting.

[optimystic]

Wow.... a rogue cop searching the world for justice!

Your coolness factor definitely just doubled.

[black_dog_bite]

Well, uh---

[Jet's never had someone so enthusiastically call him cool.]

[optimystic]

Sorry, you probably get that all the time.

[black_dog_bite]

You'd be surprised.

[optimystic]

Well then, you're long overdue!
