First app drafts ahoy!

[jakofalleco]

Another adventure? I was starting to think I'd be left alone for the rest of my life. So what's the crisis this time?

Right. Another world left in ruins and they need my help. I wouldn't expect anything less. So let's just fix up my qualifications before you send this. Guns, driving, jumping...yeah, that's fine. And they know I'm not a patient guy.

There's just one problem: I don't have 'daddy issues'. Cut that out.

[Daddy issues? He's come to terms with the fact that he can talk when he gets older but it was still very strange and he had no idea about future events.]

[jakofalleco]

[Jak stares. Meeting himself as a little boy was one thing. As a mirror image from just a few years ago, a time he can still remember? That's something else. He settles for lifting a hand in greeting.]

Hey. Trust me, it gets way weirder than this.

[before_dark_eco]

[He'll wave back, after all it is still him. Obviously he wasn't much of a conversationalist so he wasn't sure what to do from here.]

[jakofalleco]

[Luckily Jak still knows how to read himself fairly well. Maybe not as well as Daxter, but he'll give it a shot.]

You know who I am, don't you? Don't worry, the world won't end. You'll stop it from happening.

[Memories of how things used to be rush back. He thinks about warning Jak away from the Rift Gate, and his mouth's half-open before he thinks it through. No---as much as he hates what was done to him, he can't change time. People still need him now.]

Um...is Dax okay?

[before_dark_eco]

[Jak smiles at that and nods, he knows this is himself.]

[At the question about Dax he shrugged and looked over his shoulder, he hasn't seen Daxter but he assumes he has a mun too and will show up eventually.]

[jakofalleco]

[Jak looks at his own shoulder and nods. Ah---so that Daxter's an ottsel by now. That gives him a rough time frame.]

He'll be here before long. He might be making moves on his girl. But listen to me for a second.

[His expression turns serious.]

I won't lie to you. It's a rough road ahead, and you'll meet some people who really deserve hell. But no matter what happens, you'll be okay.

[before_dark_eco]

[Jak listened intently to his older self. It was such a brief thing to say but it gave him quite a bit to think about.

He nodded and smiled despite this. Considering he turned out pretty strong-looking he imagined he could make it through whatever was thrown at him.]

[jakofalleco]

[Jak smiles and thumps his younger self's shoulder. Good luck.]

You'd better get back before Samos has a fit. You know what he's like.

[before_dark_eco]

[He shakes his head and points at his mun. His mun already explained that it didn't matter how long he was here, he'd be placed right back in his own time later.]

[jakofalleco]

Oh. I'm guessing you got the same speech I did.

[Jak frowns. This was all nonsense.]

In that case, get some rest. Downtime's not so easy to come by later on.

...Or, knowing us, you'll just keep going until you crash.

[before_dark_eco]

[He considers this for a moment and nods. Deciding though that this was a rather dumb way to communicate without Dax he finds a pad and paper. He'd write down what he wanted to say and hold it up for his older self.]

I really don't have a lot to do here yet. I would feel better if Daxter was at wherever I end up going.

[jakofalleco]

[Writing, of course! He really should've suggested it. Jak slaps his forehead, then reads the message.]

You're not the only one. I thought I made it clear I wasn't going anywhere without him, but I'm not the one in control here.

But don't give up! He can always follow us later. Trust me, he doesn't give up when he's looking for us. Even if it takes a while.
