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...]

[She hates this. She hates that she might have to ask Jack to go near the infinitely better Jack but she has to try. For everyone. She clenches her fists in her pockets.]

Look, I need a favor. You probably know my condition and I was just wondering... can you get some of... Jack's blood? I doubt it'd be good for you if we woke up one morning and everyone is dead.

[...she hates this so much!]

[heroantagonist]

..."Jack's blood".

[It's a word that rolls around as Jack sits up in his chair. His desk squats in the middle of this place. It's stacked high with files. Jack squints at her over a couple sheets.]

Okay, just to be clear, this isn't my blood you need, right?

[snippingtime]

Hell no, I wouldn't want to touch your blood! The Jack I know.

[...Like ew???]

He's like sixteen. Silver hair.

[Adorable???]

[heroantagonist]

Hey, I thought it was really gross too! Don’t give me that look. Ewww.

Hhhuh. Okay. Sixteen, silver hair, great choice in naming… ado let me guess, you need this blood soon-ish?

[snippingtime]

[He wears it better than you!]

Yeah. I don't think it'll be much fun to watch if this ends too quickly, after all.

[heroantagonist]

No, guess not.

Okay, I’ll put in something for… blood. Gross, by the way.

[snippingtime]

Hey. It's not my fault it's blood.

[Blood! For! Blood! Plant!]
