originaljackass | Ch. 2 - Legends are made when you're Jack of Fables

[Right now he's got his feet kicked up on a stack of all the various books he could find where he was in them. Collections of fairy tales, fables, and more colorful adaptions - all of them. The other day he raided the library and took all of them home. If people want to go off and read about him, they'll have to talk to the real thing first. After having spoken to some other people about their worlds and sharing his own identity when convenient, Jack has come to some conclusions about Luceti. Ones that requires a little more looking into.]

You people have legends in your world, right? Any of them true? Any of you ever met them? Or hell, maybe some of you are the legendary type too.

I'm one of the latter. I'm Jack of the Tales - at least, all the good ones. Any of you [losers] people heard of me?

Oh right, one more thing. Someone mind telling me how those filters work? Seems like it could be handy.

[Later, for anyone who wants to bother him in person, he'll be hanging out at the shops, wishing he had money to spend on all of it (even though it's all free). Luceti is a poor place to be for a man obsessed with wealth.]

I wish that weren't right, but I'm beginning to suspect as much. I'm not going to give up though. A world where myths and humans can live together out in the open is possible. [ He sounds firm in his response. ]

But you know...here it's actually rather different. Luceti, despite having cultures and people that contrast one another...it's all very uniform and accepting. [ A sigh. ]

Classic human nature there. Give everyone one enemy, they'll band together and forget their differences. Seen it happen plenty of times. Hell, it's happened to me plenty of times.

Oh but even if you took away the Malnosso, and all that war business, I still think people would remain as they are now. It might be one thing that ties us all together, true, but I think more than just a common foe has shaped the people here.

That's what you call wishful thinking. Take away the free food, the free housing, and the kick your feet up lifestyle, people will be at each other's throats within weeks. Take your first guess at who they'll turn on first.

[ A sigh. ] Yes I suppose that's true. But I don't think people would throw away all the connections and relationships they've made in this place just because there is a harder lifestyle.

[ He remembers the Earthquake and everything that happened. He goes silent for a few brief moments before continuing. ] Ah--something similar did happen. And that was hardly the outcome. Granted it was a full scale disaster, but people worked together more than attempted to kill one another. Still people do change, and it's entirely possible that could happen. But I don't like to look on such negative views!

A disaster? Here? The place looks fine to me.
