Even men with the greatest intentions start believing their own lies

[twopercent]

Hi folks! It's Skai here, bringing back Jack, AKA Raiden, after an extended absence. He's been around, though completely silent on the network for months and still in hiding from the long arm of the law. But that's about to change now that I'm back... although I might need to take a couple days to catch up on things OOCly, because boy, it's been a while.

Looking forward to sliding back into some CR, both new and old -- you can always reach me via PM or by plurk at nanomachinesson. Cheers!

holy crap! things I was NOT expecting

I'm kind of excited to see the fallout of what happens when a character that's been on the run for so long comes back.

[twopercent]

Haha, well, don't expect anything like him exploding back on the scene! He's definitely still going to be lying pretty low and ninja-y. And hey, it's 2014, that's my cue to have him pull some MGS4 "mysterious voice on the other end of the line" BS, right? ;)

[icy_heavens]

Ohey, welcome back!

[twopercent]

Hey there yourself! I'll have to keep my eye out for Shirou posts now, uhu.

[icy_heavens]

And he ain't the youngest kid on the network anymore, Jack. How's that for ya? (Though at least he hasn't killed anybody yet, right? Something two of the younger kids can't claim.)

[twopercent]

Emoticons aren't enough to describe the amount of "ohhh noooo". Not even close.

[icy_heavens]

A ten-year-old and an eleven-year-old killed a Blood Key, man. Welcome back to the network, Jack.

And even though this kid hasn't killed anyone yet, he's super handy in a fight now. Better control of his ice powers. Super speed. Has his own sword back. And he's a Tier 2 Echo away (just waiting for the right time) from getting his shikai returned. Can't keep him on the sidelines, man. /goes to re-add on plurk

[twopercent]

Shaking my head, man, the echo opportunities I missed out on.

Things are definitely going to be different now compared to start of game, I tell you what.

[scramasax]

Pahh another enthusiastic welcome back - it's been virtual ages indeed!

[twopercent]

It has! Still a lot of familiar faces around though. :)

[shiromadoushi]

Oh hey! Welcome back!

[twopercent]

Thanks! :)

[peacefulwinter]

Ooh, Raiden! This'll be interesting! /adds on Plurk

[twopercent]

Once I catch up on events... I hope so, anyway, ahaha!

[argents]

oh wow SO THIS IS WHAT LIV WAS TALKING ABOUT, WELCOME BACK. i'm super looking forward to seeing the fallout from this!

[twopercent]

fffffffffffft DAMMIT LIV, NO SPOILERS also I totally shouldn't encourage you to go look at who else is on the app page, now should I....

Like I said up-post, this is going to be a pretty subdued return. At least initially... until he has some reason to backflip in and fuck shit up I guess. Wish these two had had more contact before, so there could be more return shenanigans!

[argents]

TBF IT WAS A MINOR SPOILER SHE JUST SAID HER PLANNING TO RETURN WAS A LITTLE BIT YOUR FAULT the noise i made was not human

i think a delayed valiant backflip in is something to look forward to. and yeah i agree, though i think the peripheral knowledge might still be enough to kick up something down the line!

[twopercent]

Hah, I would blame her (and a couple others) myself! WE'LL SHARE THE BLAME I GUESS. But yeah, there's definitely some interesting potential to be sure.

Hello and welcome back to the game, Skai.

I'm Joc & I play an original character known as Sandrath -- a fallen arch-angel by his world's terms -- but better known in-game as Xander Jarle, a former soldier turned grocery store baker.

It's nice to meet you.

[twopercent]

Likewise, nice to meet you... and former soldier reincarnate highfive! Unfortunately Jack here went the wrong way instead of the pills and therapy route, but, eh, what can you do. Maybe someday they'll have the chance to commiserate about how doing service with the military messes with you. :[

[dominateartimus]

/high fives

Damn. What does he do to cope with everything? It is a possibility, but Xander might be a bit stubborn to share about his time in the military since his twin brother died.

[twopercent]

Do alcohol, a spousal abuse incident/separation, and something approaching a psychotic fugue state count as coping? Prooooooobably not.

Have you set out any location for the grocery store? If it's anywhere near the edge of the Dead District, we could have potential CR, since Jack's been hiding as a homeless guy, but everybody needs to eat...

[dominateartimus]

...Yeah, that is not good.

I haven't set a location for the grocery store, but I'd like to say it sort of close to the business district and not at the same time. I hope that makes sense.

[professorwolf]

Oh wow, hi! Welcome back! :3 It's good to see you!

:: goes to... add you back on plurk, if that's okay! ::

[twopercent]

Likewise, and thanks for the welcome!

Adding all the peeps!

[professorwolf]

I look forward to tossing these two at each other again :3 Lyall has gone full on wolf on the full moon for months now!

[chalicejoker]

Welcome back! :D

[twopercent]

Thank you! Ahhhhhh, I really can't wait to interact with Hajime again... especially seeing him as a bugman, oh god.

[chalicejoker]

Bugmen make everything better!

But yeah, that should be fun to have them interact again now that Hajime's a bit more comfortable with things in general thanks to having horrible bug monster powers to fall back on.

[earnedmystripes]

whoa, welcome back!!!

[twopercent]

Thanks! I take it Kotetsu's still technically with the police? (Oh god so much to catch up on!)

[earnedmystripes]

yes, technically!! And there are more numbered cops now!

also whenever Jack posts again Kotetsu will be kind of shocked and sort of relieved and a bit mad bc he went silent so long he was sure he was dead 8(

[twopercent]

Yeah, I spied a couple. More reasons to lie low for now out of suspicion. >.>

I have the feeling that's gonna be the reaction from at least a couple folks, all prepped and ready to be yelled at, uhuhuhu.

[testsonseashells]

dude

duuuuuuuuude

man i don't remember if we talked much but goddamn i don't think we have too many people from way back when so it's good to see you again

[twopercent]

Hey, it's surprising how many people I remember seeing around here! We never talked tooooo much but I'm looking forward to having Jack stop by LSR one of these days again soooooooo... yes, stuff and more talking should happen.
