[ ahhhh????? ]

But
All that money's still gotta be pretty sweet, right?

[faceplate]

It's often useful.

[jackhole]

Exactly! So the money is a good thing.
It should definitely be a top priority, right?
I mean
I'm just spitballing here.
It just seems like a vault hunter-y way of thinking.

[ no, rhys. it's a hyperion way. ]

[faceplate]

Vault hunters just hunt.
Whether for thrill or challenge
money's less vital.

[jackhole]

Right.
And you're hunting for a... vault?
Fiona got all the "vault hunter life lessons" crap from Athena but I never got to ask any questions.
You're a really great guy, Zero. :)

[faceplate]

Yes. Ask away.

<3

[jackhole]

[ yeah, rhys totally let out of a pathetic little noise of glee at the heart. he's a sucker like that! ]

<3
I'm so happy.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever... hunted?
That's what you call it, right?
I bet it's super weird.

[faceplate]

[ rhys you're such a nerd... ]

Politicians are
always a source of humor.
At the end, they beg.

What's "weird"?

[jackhole]

[ yeah 8( ]

huh. the more you know, i guess.
and idk maybe like
a two headed skag or a rocket launcher that only shoots live puppies or
something
something weird

[faceplate]

It's all relative.
Pandora must be stranger
than corporation.

[jackhole]

Haha, pretty much! Yeah!
Pandora is the wooooorst, dude. It's like nightmare fuel set on fire: the planet.
At least things make sense literally... everywhere else.
Yet all you vault hunters end up there? Or Elpis, I guess.
But Elpis is like Pandora 2.0 so it doesn't count.

[faceplate]

When seeking targets,
one isn't picky about
vacation prospects.

[jackhole]

Yeah, obvs. Duh.
Then you'd go somewhere nice, right? Like... Dionysus. I hear Dionysus is nice.
Or... idk.
I haven't actually been many places so I couldn't say.

[faceplate]

No.

Regardless of source,
challenges which spring forth are
worthy of pursuit.

The Vault is a challenge.

[jackhole]

Ugh, that's so...
Don't you ever worry about dying?

[faceplate]

No.

Should I?

[jackhole]

[ zero why........ ]

Uh, yeah. What about all the people you leave behind?

[faceplate]

I'm an assassin.
Dealing in only violence.
I need no one else.

[jackhole]

Right. Duh.
I just kind of thought we were friends or whatever.
And friends tend to care when one of their friends dies.
Kind of a thing. That happens. Between friends.
Which I figured we were.
Whiiiich means I would care if you die so, uh...
Don't?

[faceplate]

...

You must avenge me
if I fall in battle. Which
I probably won't.

I'll return the favor.

[ THIS IS THE SAME THING AS FRIENDSHIP, RIGHT? ]

[jackhole]

[ SURE??? holy shit ]

I
uh
okay, yeah. Sure?
I'll see what I can do, I guess.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't die even more now though.

[faceplate]

:)

Challenge accepted.
But assassins never die,
so it's your challenge.

[jackhole]

Okay A) that's false. Some do. But I get it, ego.
B) My life is not nearly as dangerous as yours so I probably won't die.
Probably?
Oh my god.

[faceplate]

Probably.

[ is zero trying to be reassuring or not? we just don't know. ]

[jackhole]

[ god damnit zero ]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
