video | this is it boys, this is war | open to both courts

I don’t know you people. Not really.

[ Jake is seated in what looks to be some sort of a tavern, the walls behind him planks of wood instead of the stone of any of the castles. His hat is on, bright blue eyes staring out from under it, fixed on the locket. ]

And unless I’ve missed something, none of you know me.

[ He certainly hopes no one knows him – he’s wanted, after all. ]

But I don’t know these people who took us here, neither. And I ain't inclined to go to war on their word.

[ This isn’t a draft. It’s kidnapping, and while he has vague memories of having kidnapped before, it was never to gain soldiers. ]

Now, I reckon I ain’t the only one feelin’ that way. If I’m right [ and he’s willing to bet that he is ] and you ain’t content to sit around or be pushed into fighting for ‘em, then… well. [ Surprisingly white teeth show in a sharp grin. ] We may have some things to talk about.

You have any ideas for what to do, then? Or are you just waitin' to see what happens?

I'm content with where I am now and that is staying at the station. Unless I see any other alternatives, I will not be going anywhere for now.

There's always alternatives.

There's other settlements in this place, outside of the castles. Not just the Station. Been to any of those?

Not as of yet. I would advise caution if you travel elsewhere. These lands have strange creatures who are not too keen on travelers. It would be better to travel in a group.

I've seen a few. A group is part of why I'm talkin' to the network, actually.

Well, then, good luck with that. As soon as I parted with mine, I came to find our leader was a man of dubious character and of a troubled past.

'Dubious character'.

[ Eyebrow raise. ]

He tends to be a bit abrasive; he's not one of the friendliest I've met so far.

[ Come to think of it, she's not sure what he's done to earn such warranties other than it sounds as if they've pillaged villages over his gems. ]

[ ... yeah he's just.

waiting for more for a minute here before realizing that's it. ]

That it?

I'm sure there's more, but I felt it was wise making nice in order to get where I am.

[ She's being very honest. ]

[ He chuckles a little, amused and rather appreciative. ]

Smart.

You have a bad opinion of all of us who're abrasive?

Not really; I have been called that and more a few times, myself.

Words're just words.

You ever feel like traveling again, give me a call.

And where would you plan on traveling next?

South, down to Treun. Maybe west after that, to the dwarf city.

Have you found others who will go with you?

Haven't quite gotten around to askin' yet.

Either you will need sturdy weapons and a horse or you will need a sufficient interest in traveling with you.`

I'm armed. Got the horse, too. And... some fairies. [ He makes a slight face, though it's more confused than anything. ]

What do you have for weapons?

Revolver. Knife. Can always buy more, too.

I would recommend you consider that. Even with another blade, it was difficult coming to where I am There's plenty of obnoxious creatures along the way.

How big was the group you traveled with?

There was about five of us who traveled to the station.

An' what sort of creatures got in the way?
