1st shot ( video ) open to both courts
[ The first thing seen is a face peering down into the locket. It's not so much a curious one, as it is annoyed, considering Jake's intolerance for new technology and having to figure it out, and the fact that he's quickly come to miss the old one that he'd retrieved from the facility in China. These lockets, this new tech, this new world... It would take some getting used to, and Jake had to wonder how long that would take him.
Sure, he's pretty good at assimilating to new conditions, considering all the movement he would have to do during his time as a mercenary, and then being on the run from the Ustanak and its crazy controllers, but there's a difference between getting used to a new place in a familiar world, and getting used to a new place and a new world at the same time. Good as he may be at fitting in to these new places, there are limits for everyone, and it seems that Jake has found his in the form of imps, worlds and a war he didn't ask to be a part of. ]
My name's Jake, if any of you have to know that. I'm here to kick some ass and then head back home—
[ Or get his own ass kicked, which he doubts will happen, considering his own confidence. Whichever one happens first. Jake scowls into the camera, unimpressed by his own thoughts. ]
I'm not interested in the semantics of this war, or who killed who and why retribution is necessary or whatever. So long as I get to fight, get paid and get out of here, then that's all that matters to me. The rest of it, everything else — I really don't give a shit.
[ Let it not be said that he's not to the point. It's not as though he's going to hold his thoughts back or act delicately in the fear of insulting some new people. It's all about being as brusque as usual, keeping his head mid-level and fighting his way out of here, if that's what it takes to go back to his semi-normal life. It shouldn't be too hard, he considers. Most of his life has been spent fighting, so what's a few more how ever longs going to do to interfere with the usual run? (A lot, but he tries not to think about that. It'll just cause more anger over this stupid situation he's found himself in.) ]
Just, y'know, don't be a dick, and I'm sure we'll be able to get along just fine.

Though he figures that he had a chance of ending up at three out of three if he hadn't ended up here.
Things change.]
And you should look for Saber. She's blonde, warrior like. Hard to miss.

[ not his job, after all. so long as he isn't going to be paid to fight this guy, then it's not going to be his business, either. a need to know basis, so to speak. ]
That General lady? Yeah, we've been talkin'. She seems pretty badass.
video.
[Jason's glad that he got this guy's side right. He thought he'd seen him around, anyway.]
And I find myself in agreement. If you ask me, money or no money, she can tell you where you should stand. Anyone who doesn't work that way ... well, they don't really know what they're talking about.
video.
[ unless, you know, it ends up with him needing to guess, getting it wrong and-- best not to think about it. the chances of it happening, he thinks, are hopefully low. ]
Lucky for everyone, she's been workin' with me to figure that out. Has everything in order, so it shouldn't be too bad when we've actually been over it all. Otherwise I'd be roaming free.

[He frankly can't wrap his head around why anyone would fight for that cause, but they're coming all the same.]
