Now entering Jack's Office

[heroantagonist]

[It's a long ride up in the elevator. The floors passing you by start to merge together into a jumbled blur, leaving the whole experience altogether surreal and boring.

Eventually though, it ends. Finally, you're deposited in a yellow hallway, rows upon rows of computers on business desks encased in large glass windows. A disc-shaped cleaning bot handles the long stretch of hallway you march down, rumbling incessantly as it passes. More potted plants. More Hyperion logos, getting worse by the second-

And then you enter Jack's office.

The man (the myth, the legend) himself is probably behind his desk. So why don't you drop in and say hi? Just be mindful of the rules...]

[Oh, whoops, he misgendered the horse. He does look a little embarrassed about that.]

I don't know you that well, we don't have game nights together or anything. Your face is just super-memorable. [And even then it took him a while to remember! He blinks a little.] Oh, wait, I kind of remember you saying her name now? Um, where would we get Eridium? Or will she be okay if she doesn't eat for a while?

[heroantagonist]

[How could you, Jared? We're supposed to be friends.]

Yeah? Memorable? Well, thanks. That's the best compliment I've gotten all day.

[Oh wait, the horse.]

Uhhh, there's supposed to be a whole stock of Eridium in the stables. Didn't you see it?

[no, there isn't.]

[profkowalski]

...what's it supposed to look like? Because I just saw hay and stuff like that in there.

[heroantagonist]

It- It's literally glowing frickin purple!

[profkowalski]

...there's nothing glowing purple in that stable.

[heroantagonist]

Nononono, that can't be-

[He pauses. Then, under his breath;]

Ohh, that son of a taint.

[profkowalski]

...who?

[heroantagonist]

Uhh, "that son of a taint" is what I said. Unrelated note-

[He digs into a nearby chest and produces... a brick of eridium.]

Here. Feed this to Butt Stallion. It'll tide her over.

i love how i actually have a glowing purple icon to use

[profkowalski]

Yeah, but who's- [Oh, he's getting a glowing brick. He takes it solemnly.] Don't worry, I'll do that no problem!
