“Well hey there! Not many people come to me instead of, y’know, the other way around. What brings you here though?! Be honest, it was my looks wasn’t it? Just too dashin’ to stay away from... You got somethin’ for me to sign? I may be a hitman but I don’t mind doing an autograph once in a while.”

[general-kalani]

“Jail?! Not my fault you decided to be a shut-in for a little while... Besides! Jails are super easy to get out of. Barely an inconvenience.”

@general-kalani

Zane vc: let me think on that… Nahhhh sorry!

"Jail! Jail for you all! Jail for 1000000 years!"

The bot itself wasn't a worry. Really how much of a danger could it have been?!

The cave-in was another story and while he's had his fair share of close encounters like that this was... A little too close.

And his poor drone! Not completely destroyed and still repairable but damn it all his poor drone. He stole that rightfully he wasn't going to lose it now!

"Yeah all good. I think the clone's still operational lemme-" a click that told him that no, the clone wasn't still outside the cave. Probably crushed by a stray boulder.

Damnit!

"We're really in trouble now boyo... Whose idea was it again to fight a big bot like that?"

It sounded like it was one of his own. Not that it mattered. Seeing the bird fly off he decided to move around some rocks within the place just to get more comfortable for himself. "Might as well stay a while then! Course we could explore. OOoooo, what about a game? Surely there's treasure in here!.. Or guns! Possibilities are... Limited but what did a little exploring do to hurt anyone?!"

Casually he stretched, as if this cave-in wasn't a worry for him at the moment and bunkered down on some of the rocks he'd moved for himself as a crude chair.

"So what's the plan boyo. Drone's out, can't use that to help explore. Clone's on recharge fer a little while..." Well, perfect chance to sleep if there were no options! He's been needing to catch a sleep break.

{ @wclking-fire sent in; Body swap [zane/vash?]

Prompt from here!

Mun note; omfg i am already dying please i love this so much you BLESS ME- }

... Well this was a conundrum. He was just talking to that guy over there and now he was staring at his own body!

A pat down of the clothes tells him, first of all, this wasn't a hoax, this wasn't an accidental click of the button for his clone... And third of all he wasn't as dashing as he thought he'd be in first person!

"Soooooo..." Damn his voice was all wrong too! Now this was definitely all confirmed. Some weird space magicky wagicky stuff is fuckin' with him! "Tell me right now that ye got this weird floaty sensation for a little and then yer lookin' at yer own body like I am right now."

Oh wow this guy was not made to speak an accent like his.

The more you know!

[general-kalani]

{ @wclking-fire followed, thanks for that!! }

"... And so I shot him in the gut! Could'ja believe the fact he tried to get up afterwards too?! So anyway-" Clearly in the middle of a story!.. To what seemed like a digitised clone of himself.

Either the man was insane, or this was the only way he kept his sanity.

"Oh hey there boyo! Now what brings ye to this pub eh? Lemme guess... You heard I was in town and wanted an autograph! Normally I don't give those out for free but fer a man like you? I'd make an exception!"

[general-kalani]

{ Thank you for the follow @love-seared​! }

Pandora. How Zane didn’t miss this place! So bland, so much area to explore... How could anyone other than bandits live on this world?.. Oh well, he was planning retirement here! Even if his brothers had been quite prominent here...

Was his sister still here?

Nahhh, why would she? No reason for her to stay here with this mess... Unless she got hit with the family curse? What were the chances of that?

Thank god for missing out on family reunions because of the previous few vault hunters!

Though what he wasn’t expecting to meet was a person who looked like a bandit... And yet look so friendly. Sure they were in the distance so there was no reason to be panicked but it remained... Oh well! He’s met crazier maybe they really were friendly. “Hey there!” He called out with a smile. “What brings you to Pandora?”

“Well hey there boyo- girlyo? I’ll work on that- HOW ARE YA?! Name’s Zane Flynt, nice t’meet ya. What brings you here to meet the one and only operative who gives out autographs?”

[general-kalani]

{ Thank you for the follow @monmuses​​! <3 }

“Well hey there, Gaige! Been a while, how’s the weddin’ plannin’? Still gettin' booked?”

Was it the best start to a conversation? Not really but he didn’t have much to go on and he didn’t really care that much! “Tell ya what, had a blast running around the galaxy me self. Who knew it would be such a thrill! But go on about yourself, I’m sure you know all about the ‘saving the galaxy opening a Vault’ nonsense already.”

[general-kalani]

{ Thank you for following @xcorruptxwishesx! }

Well meeting with someone who wasn't going to kill him for once was impressive. Zane was an operative, sure. Just how it usually is with these kinds of people. Get to know you before they killed you.

Zane however! "You're a tall one boyo! What did Atlas feed ya back then?! You can't put it on those Ratches, they aren't nutritious enough to warrant that." Although his attention got attracted to a cat that had appeared. His head tilted a little. "Is that yours?"

"What? No that isn't mine. Probably a street cat. Surprised it's here after all the Ratches coming around. Maybe it just has no fear... Watch your food, it'll come after that."

For the moment, both expected nothing from the 'cat'.

[general-kalani]

"Aren't you a sweet talker?" Though he grinned. Oh this was going to be fun! If only he could wink without it looking like he was simply blinking he surely would have done it by now.

"I feel so honoured a man like yerself is talkin' to me like that. Why don't we get started on a few drinks and see how the night goes, huh?.. Although I do pay extra for services like that so I'd prefer to be paid upfront for that."

And with that he finally winked, hand outstretched as his clone put an alcoholic bottle in his hand. Clearly stolen he popped it open, poured two drinks and held one out to the other.

"Mind tellin' me your name pretty boy? I'm guessin' you're a Damien... Nah too pretty to be a Damien. Bettin' the names Jerome! Final answer, Jerome."

"I'm jus' sayin' that you should be livin' a lil' is all! What more fun could there be than exploring the unknown with nothing much other than the weapons we got and survival instincts?"

Course the eye was always a touchy subject for him but he wouldn't let that get him down!

He'd much rather wallow in despair over it in private than with Mordecai being right there.

"But sure whatever you say boyo. I don't mind hunkering down in one spot. Been needing to catch up on my beauty sleep anyway."

As if his own appearance needed any more sleep it was gorgeous as it was!

"Oh the barrier? Yeah sure thing. It'll be up for a long while since nothing's coming to shoot at us or anythin'."

He stood from his makeshift bed area and stretched before reaching into one of his pockets and threw it casually to block the only other entrance Mordecai had been talking about...

It was saddening for him, he really wanted to explore! But oh well. He supposed the logic was sound in it all to be careful and safe in order to not potentially die...

Oh but his inner need for more loot called to him! What if there was a big giant monster with the best loot in the galaxies in there?!

Calm yerself Zane, it's just a day or two without firin' a gun. Relax...

Damnit this was all so frustrating!

Laying back down he sighed deeply trying to look around to do something. He'd never been so bored! There wasn't even a pint to enjoy!

"Soooooooo how long till yer boy can get back with yer friend?"

Time to pester Mordecai!

[general-kalani]

“Y’know, that’s true. Unfortunate that it means even less to a man like me... And ye totally are a shut-in! ‘Just not awake’ doesn’t mean nothin’ how are ye talkin’ to me then- WAIT. Are you a sleep walking talker. Oh I’ve wanted to be a nuisance to them for so long.”
