Wait

[ ON THE TICK, ON THIS PROFILE, ON THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. ]

[hackjack]

uh ok
private info. This post was so not for you.

[athenaie]

It's a public profile, Rhys.

[ And that tick was NOT INTENTIONAL, NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST..... ]

[hackjack]

Yes. Public. Public in the sense that it goes to the public. General public not
Vault Hunters from back home that actually know me public.

This? This is like having your aunt find your ECHObook page and instantly killing your reputation.
My coolness points are dying as we speak.

[athenaie]

And I haven't even told anyone about the last time you cried in the middle of a firefight.

[ Athena's humor everybody. ]

This makes you sound like an ass.

[hackjack]

ATHENA WHAT THE HELL

[hackjack]

and what
no it doesn't

[athenaie]

It does.

[hackjack]

It sounds like I'm successful.

Why is every Pandoran allergic to the word success?
This is NORMAL ok.
Normal.

[athenaie]

Yes, claiming you own the entire universe is something normal people do.

[hackjack]

Oh my god what.
What could possibly be more interesting, Athena.
Should I tell everyone I own a desk? Maybe a lamp, that's fun right?

People loooove lamps.

[athenaie]

Is it true?

[hackjack]

Uh

what?

[athenaie]

Acting CEO, owner of the universe and everything in it.
Is it true?

[hackjack]

Can we not have this conversation right here right now?

[athenaie]

Location.

[ Right here? No. Right now? Yes. ]

[hackjack]

I

come on, don't
do this to me right now.

[athenaie]

Would you rather I assume the worst?

[hackjack]

No it's just

[After the conversations he's had with Fiona, after the way she'd torn into him for not coming clean, there's a part of him (even in spite of Jack's warning) that wants to tell Athena the truth.

There's also a part of him that feels like she'll decapitate him before he can finish scrubbing his conscience clean.]

Come on, you know me.
In what universe could I ever run Hyperion?

[Good job, hero. Way to keep on lying.]

[athenaie]

[ More than ever she feels that she is missing something. Some sort of big revelation, or event. Something. She's felt it since she last spoke to him and Fiona - there is something they aren't telling her.

Athena sits the beginning itch of frustration gnawing at her mind and inhales. ]

No, I don't. Not really.
But I know enough to know you're hiding something.

[ Denial just wasn't quick enough. ]

[hackjack]

Aside from a lifetime of bad decisions and disappointment all building up towards Hyperion exiling me while a crazy woman kidnaps my friend and tries to hold him hostage so I'll help open the biggest Vault the known universe has ever seen?

[athenaie]

Can't say I'm surprised she went that far
But yes, aside from that.

[hackjack]

[Current tactics are proving ineffective: operation critical deflect is go.]

Aside from Scooter dying?

[athenaie]

What

[athenaie]

Where are you

[ Deflection successful, congratulations. ]
