Send me a △ and ask a really invasive question aimed at my character:

Towards your Quad Life version of Drakkon: If the Coinless Jason og re-emerged from the deepest recesses of Red's subconscious in the aftermath of the foursome marriage, how would he (and subsequently the younger men) react?

Inside the Character’s Studio

A la ‘Inside the Actor’s Studio’…

The stage is set with our beloved ‘Quad Life’ cast seated side by side in their personalized actor’s chairs. From left to right we have with us: Drakkon aka David (sometimes) aka ‘bad ‘Tommy’, Coinless Jason Scott (CJ) aka Red aka Jamie (on occasion), Prime Universe Tommy Oliver, the White Ranger, and Prime Universe Jason Scott, the Red Omega Ranger.

AJ: Good afternoon, all! This is AJ Grey, your wild and crazy fanfic author in the Power Ranger’s universe. I don’t often get to sit down and chat with my guys, but thanks to this lovely Tumblr prompt, here we are! It’s nice to get a chance to talk one on one without having to hurriedly scribble down what you all are doing…

Drakkon: Yeah, that’s a little perverted and creepy. Just saying…

Tommy: (hisses under his breath) Shut up, dude, and let the lady talk! Damn! Like you probably rethink saying that about anyone else…

Drakkon: (rolls eyes) I never said that it was a bad thing, White Ranger.

AJ: Annyyywwwaaayyyssss…… We opened the ‘asks’ for questions related to my endearing OC’s. That’d be you, ‘David’ and ‘Red.’

(AJ opens an envelope the color of a robin’s egg)

AJ: (grins evilly) And the first question is for you, ‘David’, you nutty son of a bitch!

Drakkon/David: (gulping Mountain Dew and nearly chokes in surprise, eyes wide) For me? How charming! I wasn’t expecting one, to be honest. Most people hate me and for good reason, I know. I thought ‘Red’, our lovable… what’s the word? Oh, yes… whumpee… would be the man of the hour.

(He blows a little kiss to ‘Red’, who blushes shyly and looks away.)

AJ: (gives a low whistle after reading the question inside) So, that means you’re open to answering? Because this one’s a doozey!

Drakkon/David: (grins like the Cheshire Cat) Go for it. I’m not used to taking questions from anyone besides the usual ‘Why are you doing this to me?’, ‘Why won’t you just kill me?’, or ‘What the fuck is wrong with you?’ This will be a lark….

AJ: Alright. From my pal, Augment-Techs: To Drakkon, if the Coinless Jason (OG) re-emerged from the deepest recesses of ‘Red's’ subconscious in the aftermath of the foursome marriage, how would he (AJ looks to Prime Tommy and Prime Jason), and subsequently the younger men, react?

(All four characters look at each other nervously, unsure what to say)

Tommy: (laughs a little with anxiety) Dude, you might be fucked if that happens….

(The others chuckle awkwardly. ‘Red’ fidgets with his hands in his lap.)

Drakkon/David: (glares at Tommy) Excuse me, Thomas, but the question was directed at me. Hmmmm…. That is a very ‘loaded’ ask… and is rather coincidental considering our hateful little scribe, AJ, just commissioned another piece from Skyland of my darling and the little duckling together… The rough line sketch was just precious…

AJ: (clears throat) Are you going to answer or just deflect? I think you know you might be up Shit Creek, but we’re all waiting for your response to Augment’s question.

(‘David’ narrows his eyes at AJ before lowering his head and appears to be considering the implications of CJ’s return. ‘Red’ slowly reaches over and pats his forearm.)

Drakkon/David: (sighs softly) We’ve all had this conversation quite a few times, to be honest. No one is really sure what, if anything, CJ might be aware of during everything that’s happened. He could be watching and listening, though if he is, we don’t know why he isn’t communicating with us. How he might react hinges heavily on that consideration.

(‘David’ pauses and his hand covers ‘Red’s’, which is still resting on his forearm.)

Drakkon/David: If he is aware of all that has transpired between the four of us, he would see the evolution of both ‘Red’ and I and our relationship and how we’ve changed for the better since coming here. That doesn’t mean I expect him to forgive me and continue on as before as my partner. I would have to accept that he may want to venture out into the world on his own since he would recognize and be comfortable in the Prime Universe. It’s like his life before I infected it.

(He pauses again, his expression becoming sad and troubled at the image of CJ/Red leaving. Tommy and Jason also look forlorn.)

Tommy: (softly) We’d all accept and support his decision. It’s only right. All of us are together by choice and he isn’t a prisoner anymore. The sight of Drakkon and I might repulse him.

Jason: I would hope that ‘Red’ might have a head’s up or awareness that CJ was ‘waking up’ so they could stay away and let me talk to him first. In either scenario, I think that would be the best for him and for their safety. Particularly if he ISN’T aware of our group relationship. Coming back and seeing two Drakkons could cause him to react violently.

Drakkon/David: Jason is the closest approximation to CJ that we have even without him experiencing the trauma I inflicted. That’s where it’s a grey area though. What I did was heinous and changed him profoundly even before ‘Red’ came into existence.

Jason: I know how I would respond or how I think I might. But he went through things I’ve never conceived of doing to someone and of course, that would greatly alter my mindset.

CJ/Red: (speaks up gently, a corner of his mouth twitching) Alter…

(The others grow quiet and look at the grey-haired man, who slowly looks up from his hand covering ‘David’s’ forearm.)

CJ/Red: That word… I know that’s what I am. An alternate personality. A hijacker, a parasite maybe. This body isn’t really mine because I was never meant to exist. And here I am living this beautiful life now while CJ might be stranded in my head somewhere suffering. It isn’t fair to him. (sniffs) I got a second chance, a new life after torment, after being a monster…

(AJ passes over a box of tissue)

CJ/Red: (dabs his eyes) Thanks… (sniffs again) I really think he’s in there somewhere. He’s not ‘gone’. When I learned the truth about myself after ‘David’ and I came to this universe, I could literally feel his rage and agitation drifting around my head like snowflakes. Those feelings were not ‘my’ feelings, though I obviously was feeling the same.

(Drakkon lifts his arm and puts it around Red’s back, rubbing between his shoulder blades.)

CJ/Red: I was created to keep CJ alive, by being a good pet and avoiding further physical and mental damage. But I lost my way and turned into a demon. If he was aware of everything, then he could see what I’d become and what I did. I’m afraid he would be angry and ashamed of me. Then when I made the choice to stay with Drakkon instead of killing him, beating his ass better, or running off, I stayed with him, knowing what he did to CJ and how he deceived me…. He would be disappointed.

(Jason gets up from his chair and moves to stand behind ‘Red’, wrapping his arms around him in a tender embrace. He kisses his temple and whispers loving murmurs in his ear.)

CJ/Red: I don’t know for sure, but just from what I felt when I learned the truth, I think he still exists and maybe he DOES have some awareness of the outside world. When I couldn’t take the rage, guilt, shame, and embarrassment a minute longer, I… ‘spoke’ to him, well, I HOPED I conveyed to him what I was feeling. I asked for some grace at that moment in time and the ‘other’ emotions seemed to fade.

Sometimes, I feel like I ‘carry’ CJ like a frightened child, which isn’t really that far from being true, I guess. He was an innocent kiddo underneath that Ranger uniform. He was 17, which to me in my 40’s, is waayyy too young, that’s still just a baby. And his… our… parents are dead along with any other family and friends. He’s missed out on his formative years and so much life experience. Maybe that’s why he lets me stay in the driver’s seat. Perhaps CJ sees me as the ‘adult in charge’? I don’t know…

Drakkon/David: If CJ were to ‘wake up’, regardless of his knowledge, at the very least I could give him a proper apology before he tears me a new one. He may not believe it, but he deserves to hear ‘I’m sorry’ from me, something he probably never imagined I would say. Not as I was when he knew me. And at the time, I was incapable of feeling guilt, remorse, love, empathy, or compassion. That was only after Red and I arrived in the Prime Universe. I could see the error of what I’d done even if I’m still a grouchy dick the majority of the time.

My darling is a resilient, loving, talented, and sweet man, as no doubt Tommy and Jason will agree. What evil he says he committed was only due to my orders, not his own volition. And I feel positive that CJ would know that and place the blame where it is properly due.

(AJ nods in agreement.)

Tommy: (nuzzles ‘Red’s’ other side) Red is very kindhearted, the caregiver of our family. I know that would count for a lot with ‘my’ Jason so CJ would see that too, even if he’s upset initially. And I would hate for him to look at me with terror, that my face would be hard for him to look upon. Because I love Red deeply. And as Drakkon said, I have no doubt that CJ gave him hell, that he was incredibly strong and brave. He had to be… Because he LIVED.

I think Jason’s right. Drakkon and I would have to give CJ space, leave him alone with Jason and let him decide what he wants. With no pressure or anything from us.

CJ/Red: (feeling better with so much love surrounding him) We also don’t know what CJ waking up would mean for me. Would we just switch places with him existing in the world with me along for the ride? Would I fade away or pop like a bubble? Would he and I find a way to coexist together?

Drakkon/David: From what I have read in my research into ‘Red’s’ condition, it is possible for he and CJ to integrate. Essentially, what could happen is that his sense of ‘self’ will have both sets of memories and personality characteristics. Often, an alter will have a similar function or role or attributes that makes it easy for them to come together. Or they can remain separate in a sort of ‘co-consciousness’ and work together.

Jason: (hugs Red tighter) No matter what happens if that day comes, it won’t change how we feel about you. We will always love you and support you and CJ. If he is aware, I hope that he can hear us and know that he is welcome too.

Tommy: We don’t want CJ to feel that he can’t come back because he isn’t wanted or missed or loved as much as Red is. That simply isn’t true. We might have to learn how best to support him in his healing and how to avoid inadvertently causing him distress, but I know we are all willing to do that.

CJ/Red: (smiles) Even ‘David’ has taken steps and put in the work to deal with his own trauma and behaviors. I think that would count for something too with CJ, that ‘David’ can face his issues and admit guilt and remorse and a willingness to change. He didn’t have any of that back in the Coinless Universe.

AJ: (sniffles) That’s why I love you guys. Even you, asshole. You’re learning. You all are. And you are there for each other, protect each other. Oh, and of course, you do stupid shit that makes me laugh.

Drakkon/David: I think you’re just there for smut….

AJ: So? Do you really care? I give you guys free reign. You even override my authority as author when it suits you!

(They all shake their heads dramatically.)

AJ: I write about other shit too…. Don’t forget I just write what you all are doing so maybe take a cold shower or two and I wouldn’t have spicy scenes to write.

Drakkon/David: Hell no! Unless its with ‘Red’ or Jason. Or both preferably….

AJ: Alright then! It’s been fun, but I’m gonna go grab the garden hose. If we get more questions, we can reconvene up here and shoot the shit… Till next time!
