If you're ever looking to branch out, I may have an opportunity for you.

[ HE JUST POACHES JACOPO FOR THE IPC ]

[obdure]

I have no idea what you even do and you're trying to poach me.

[ THIS IS INSANITY ]

[tactic]

[ Maybe he has an eye for potential you never know also Jacopo would look very good in an IPC uniform. ]

I'm a merchant. I travel quite frequently for work, and since you mentioned enjoying travel, I thought it would be a nice bonus for you.

[obdure]

[ The comment about him in an IPC uniform isn't necessary. He's thinking about it... It would be nice. ]

As long as I can still visit Sicily every once in a while, travel is a perk. [ A thought flash of a golden wheat field again. ] You can't call yourself and merchant and not mention your wares. I'm going to hope it isn't organ collecting.

[tactic]

You'd have vacation days, of course.

[ And then laughs a little at the mention of organ collecting. ]

Nothing of the sort. The IPC focuses more on the economic development of the cosmos and its many planets. As for my wares, they're whatever my department needs moved at the time, and since my approach tends to be rather people oriented, I'm well-suited for the task.

[obdure]

[ He would need to be forced to take those. Anyway, he raises his eyebrows. ]

How expansive... Intergalactic law must be a nightmare when international law is already a nightmare in one world. Mortality rate's high?

[tactic]

Good heavens, I wouldn't be recruiting you if it was. There are several departments within the corporation, mine being the Strategic Investment Department, and we're mainly involved with business and investment deals.

[ hei how did our pc become a job recruitment ]

[obdure]

[ I have no idea when it is obvious Jacopo has no intention of joining at the moment. He just wants to know more about Aventurine when this guy just WATCHED HIS LIFE STORY. Well, only one of his lives.

thinks i guess jacopo would be destruction ]

Are you having fun roleplaying a recruiter?

[tactic]

I am, actually. Most people turn me down immediately, but it's nice to have someone indulge me for once.

[ Yay... ]

[obdure]

I'm always interested in Harolds. The one in Heaven was peculiar, but I found his company all the same welcome. At least when he stopped being a freak.

[ He hopes you're doing well out there, Viktor. ]

For you, especially when you've peered into my past, how can I not be curious? Though what I found so far is that you're the playful sort.

[tactic]

Playful, hm? That's a much kinder of way of putting it than some of the other things I've heard.

[ He does look a little curious at the mention of previous Harolds though? ]

I didn't realize there had been other games with Harolds.

[obdure]

I think there have been, though there are many of you this time around.

[ There are many. ]

Should I look for another word aside from playful?

[tactic]

[ Gives you a memshare of Sparkle calling him (twitter voice) slurs. Stop at idk like 2:48:48 does not give you a long one. ]

... Playful works just fine with me.

[obdure]

[ I must finally have food, but I know the general scene of this memory, so I will react now because Jacopo would also not address it immediately.

He's polite in the way of letting people have their privacy first, or letting them have a moment. If they wanted him to forget about it or not talk about it, then he will respect their ask, but he's also rude because he just looks at Aventurine and says this to his face. ]

Another way to say it is that something about you is annoying.

[tactic]

[ Aventurine does not mind! His mood is still good, and he laughs in delight at what Jacopo has to say. ]

Well, even that much I can admit is true. But I have to say, something about you is asking to be annoyed.

[obdure]

You're just delusional.

[ THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT HIM THAT DRAWS BULLY OUT OF PEOPLE. ]

Why did you let her talk to you that way?

[ EVEN WITHOUT (twitter voice) SLURS, she was talking down at him when she's shorter. It was rather aggressive and patronizing.

Jacopo would (metaphorically) bite Sparkle if she talked to him like this. ]

[tactic]

[ OKAY NUMBER ONE BULLY TARGET JACOPO BEARZATTI

But Aventurine just shrugs his shoulders. ]

Most people talk to me that way. And if they're not saying it out loud, then they're certainly thinking it.

[obdure]

[ If he had power and if he was a different version of himself, he'd have you all sentenced to death.

But he is just stray dog got domesticated then became a stray again energy. ]

What I see in front of me is a man no more or less annoying than another annoying man.

[tactic]

[ The universe is simply giving back what Jacopo put out. ]

Hm, you don't know how refreshing that is to hear. Had I not been born with these eyes, I'm sure the people from my cosmos would have thought the same.

[obdure]

[ you're right... he's also mean... and also a bully... ]

At least argue back about being annoying. [ Please. ] It is unfortunate that regardless of what side of the galaxy you're in, discrimination will always exist.

Your eyes are strange... But it doesn't matter. People should judge others by their character and merit.

[tactic]

[ Just listens to Jacopo with a smile. ]

You've got a sensible head on your shoulders and a rather large heart in your chest, don't you?

[obdure]

Is that something to say to a man who sacrificed everything and everyone?

[ Including the people he cared most about? Actually, he wants out of this garden before they get weird. ]

Either way, it's common sense.

[tactic]

Everything comes with a price. You paid a significant amount to be where you are now.

[ Maybe that's the tradeoff. ]

[obdure]

I did.

[ Which in part he wished he didn't, but he still did.

Should they be in there too long and get a stupid curse. ]

Is there any truth to what she said about your people? It all sounds like hearsay to me. Stupid conflated anecdotes from bitter and miserable people.

[tactic]

[ NO THEY CAN LEAVE ]

... Thank you, Jacopo. [ It's been a long time since anyone's defended his people. ] Well, it doesn't matter if there's any truth to her words or not. The Avgins were all massacred years ago, leaving me as the sole survivor.

[ May as well get to it before his memories do. ]
