That's really weird.
I mean we do have witches but they usually have world domination on their minds.
Well, most of them do.

[ Not that any of that was important. Anyways-]

Yeah, that does sound complicated.
Why was your supply taken away?

[ Erghegrhgrh. So much for sanitising it amirite ]

Well
How much do you know about what life was like for me back home? Other than Handsome Jack being my dad.
I just need to know how much I'm going to have to explain.

That it's complicated
And locking you up wasn't a new concept for him.
Oh and it must have been pretty bad if you like it here better.

Complicated is kind of a theme with me! Hehe
Okay
I spent the last decade and a bit of my life locked in a bunker, to protect both myself and those around me. I couldn't control my powers when I was little, and to be completely fair Jack didn't have many options when it came to dealing with that. So - he shut me away.
Except I stayed locked away even after I grew into my abilities, so to speak. Initially I didn't complain - Pandora is a dangerous place - but
things went a little crazy, I suppose. Or *Jack* went a little crazy. :P
In its most simplified form: he wanted to wake an ancient monster known as the Warrior so that he could cleanse Pandora of bandits. To do that, he needed a catalyst to process all the eridium he was mining from beneath the planet's surface.
That was my role. Or one of them, anyway. A living battery. The sheer volume of eridium I had to channel meant that I got dependent on it very quickly. I should probably note that it hurt. A lot. And I mentioned the regenerative properties of eridium, so you should understand that I was incapable of doing anything drastic to myself to end my torment.
So. I enlisted the help of Jack's enemies and got them to cut off my supply.

But before you start fussing, don't!!
I'm clearly fine now, and I don't need to be put on suicide watch whenever things get difficult. It was just my only option at the time. Even if I wasn't locked in, the dependency meant that I was stuck inside the bunker forever. Even killing Handsome Jack wouldn't have freed me, you see?
So no fuss. If you fuss I'm going to kick your as rear end.

[ He's much slower to getting back to her. It's a lot to absorb, but he's in a somber enough of a mood that he's not trying to go beat up a wall immediately. ]

Yeah he was really crazy when I spoke to him.
Real Jack, not AI Jack.
Not sure on AI Jack, but he's part of Rhys

[ Which means he can't exactly write him off and he did help check behind walls. So he's doing something that isn't just huffing his own fumes, right? ]

That frickin sucks
All of that.
If you say there's nothing to worry about, then I won't worry.
You have Rhys as your partner, right?
Not that kind of partner
You know what I mean
Like Kunsel and Zack without the wrestling

[ That is probably not the best comparison considering... ]

[ Oh, dammit. Or darnit. Better correct that. ]

The AI is just as bad. He's less a part of Rhys and more an unwanted tagalong. He's harmless now, but I'm warning you anyway - do *not* trust him. Handsome Jack is Handsome Jack, no matter what he's made of, and I was freaking stupid to ever think otherwise.

And er
Iunno, "partner" feels really weird?? Maybe because it makes me think of corporate partnerships and all the associated backstabbing
I prefer to think of us as siblings =w= (Still with no wrestling.)

[ That actually makes things easier for Zell. ]

So he likes blowing it out of his rear and is just as delusional?
I'll keep that in mind.

Siblings it is.
That's how I see Zack.
He's the closest thing to family we have here. Him and Kunsel both.
No wrestling either (though I could totally take them :))

You're such a dork! And you may want to stay quiet about that claim since I'm pretty sure they'd want you to prove it :P
It's nice, though, right? Having what amounts to family here??
(I mean, I *assume* this is what family is supposed to be like, since I'm not exactly the best judge of it)

Yeah, they totally would. My hair wouldn't survive their revenge.
I'm not the best judge either, but it feels right to me.
It's really amazing.
Knowing that you have each others backs through all the crap.
Or take care of them when they need it.

Is Beckett part of your family, too?
