[ That's distinctly more impressive to an Angel whose dad is still a code monkey nobody with a shitty soulpatch. The whoa is genuine and when she gets her memories back she's going to cringe herself into oblivion. ]
Dude, congrats. Nice to (re)-meet you! Are we friends? Or were you and my dad friends?? I assume at least one of those applies, since you're checking up on me.
[ Vasquez has to stop for a second and stare at the screen, equal parts confused and smug; it takes a lot to keep himself from launching right into bragging, but he manages with a little effort. He got congratulated and the 'nice' comment and-- ] [ His ego grew three sizes that day after being starved of praise for so long. ]
pretty nice job, not gonna lie. [ Not that he had it for long enough to really figure that out as well as he'd liked, though. ] definitely agreed with me, if i do say so myself. and yeah, i. think? we got along pretty alright either way [ As for Jack, that's a bit more tricky to word, mostly on account of the gushing that's all too easy to start. ] he basically taught me everything there was to know about hyperion wouldn't have climbed my way up to that office without his guidance, so. we had a mentor situation going on there. it was awesome.
[ Well, that last bit is super confusing. As far as she knows, Jack has been too busy trying to claw his way up to the top of the company himself to help anyone else?
Soooo... ]
You must be from the future? My future, I mean. Cool. For dad to be able to take the time to mentor you, you must be pretty awesome! You know how busy he gets with things How did you meet?? Work stuff?
[ No seriously when she's herself again SHE IS GOING TO FUCKING DIE ]
iiii guess? i'm from uh. after he got to be CEO, so that's. basically right, even if it's confusing. is this a shitty version of time travel you really got your clock turned back though, didn't you? damn [ This is kinda really weird, but Vasquez is all too happy to take compliments where he can get them. Only one of them is going to be cringing about this, and it's absolutely not him. ]
work stuff basically covers it. we were both pretty busy getting things done, but he always took a little time out of his day for me
