Zak settled into his chair opposite the chair Jay was to sit in. "So, how does it feel to be the last of the Templars?" He asked, taking out a fresh notepad.
-
"Sup" Jay grinned, taking a seat across from Zak "And good question. It's kinda... Well, it's good and bad I guess." He looked down at his hands "It's uh...It's lonely." He muttered. It was a brief answer from an uncomfortable man.
-
"Im not familiar with the Templar's recruitment strategies. Can train more, or is it more specified then that?" Zak asked.
-
"Yeah I can recruit more, it's perfectly possible. So far since I woke up though i've only found like...Two people I would even consider giving this level of asskickery" Jay smirked, he was after all quite good at cheering himself up.
-
"And do you believe yourself up to the challenge of making this new order, likely becoming the leader of a large group of people?" Zak queired after taking some notes.
-
"Honestly?" Jay leaned in, lowering his voice to a whisper "No. I have no fucking idea on how i'm gonna do any of this." He leant back, returning his voice to normal "I mean uh, of course i'm up to the challenge."
-
Zak took another note. Signs of false bravado. "And how do you feel about these individuals that you have found worthy? Respect?"
-
"Respect? Kinda." Jay mused, that was actually a tough question "I saw completely different things in 'em both, it's hard to say what I feel about both or either of 'em"
-
"Alright..." Zak said, leaning back. "How do you plan on finding others worthy of this 'asskickery'?"
-
"Rockin' out around the universe until I find 'em. Same way I was picked up" The Templar explained, these questions were kinda boring him but the sooner he got out the sooner he'd get to leave.
-
"Alright. Now. Why are you still alive? How did you become the last of the templars?"
-
"Now that one's for me to know and you to find out" Jay winked, it was a touchy subject to admit his utter defeat at the hands of his ex-master.
-
"Alright.. What makes you tick? You put up jokes in a facade. Why?" Zak asked, looking from his notes to Jay.
-
"What makes me tick is a clock my momma put in me when I was a baby" Jay grinned, straightening his hat "There's no jokes, I really am just the greatest badass to ever walk the universe"
-
"Im sure you are." Zak nodded. "Do you want to help people? Is that a goal?"
-
"Sure" Jay laughed "At least, I wanna help people who aren't damn idiots"
-
"Alright... And who do you think are idiots?" Zak asked, nonchalantly.
-
"Dumb questions, jerks for seemingly no reason...People who just sort of ask me for shit without knowing me whatsoever..." Jay listed off quite a few of his own criteria for 'idiots' before stopping with "You're ok though I guess."
-
Zak nodded. "Thanks...I guess. What are your standards. the ones you uphold? Morals."
-
"If someone's hurt i'll patch 'em up. If the worlds gonna end i'll save it. That's not to say i'm some goody goody, I just don't like to see or cause much sufferin'." Jay smiled, he was somewhat warming to Zak; Afterall Zak was giving him no reason not to "Of course I gotta stay neutral too. Keeping up Time and shit."
-
"But what about those morally uncertain things that you might have to do?" Zak queried,adjusting his glasses which were sliding down his nose.
-
Jay sighed "Situation to situation I guess..." He muttered, the morally grey areas he had to deal with were often an uncomfortable subject.
-
Zak pondered that for a second. "Alright, howabout this situation: You're the leader of the new Templar Order, you have hundreds under your command. A high ranking Templar wants to be in power and now the Order is split in two. What do you do?"
-
"I try to be a diplomat I guess..." Jay shrugged, looking up at the ceiling "If it really gets to be a problem i'd probably have to do....Something. I dont know what but uh...Something."
-
"Might want to get a plan in place." Zak teased. "What if you found someone who is very badass but had low morals. Would you let them into the Templars?"
-
"Depends, how low we talking?" Jay crossed his arms "If someone's really bad I ain't gonna let them in" The Templar mused "After all, we're hella powerful. Way too powerful to give to someone who'd just go out and slaughter shit."
-
" A mercenary. Someone who kills for money." Zak answered.
-
"Provided they were willing to be working solely for the Templars initiative. I'm not lettin' a merc into the universe with the ability to freeze time" Jay joked
-
"Oh that would be unpleasant if you did." Zak replied, "Just imagine how much money he could rack up if he simply robbed a candy store a million times by magic."
-
"All the poor kids wouldn't get their treats" Jay continued, sort of going along with the tangent here "That'd be terrible man."
-
"A truly awful being. I'd say someone like him would be just asking for the deepest place in hell senetencing." Zak continued.
-
"Man I cant even think of a world where a Templar would just steal from candy stores constantly." Jay muttered, poor kids.
-
"That would be a petty world indeed. I hope you thoroughly review candidates before letting them take up oath or whatever." Zak mused. "But, back to questions. What is a pet peeve of yours?"
-
"Formalities I guess" Jay laughed, looking over the room. It was clear that he was having the most...Amicable conversation here "I dislike all of that bureaucratic bullshit the universe seems to run on."
-
"Agreed. Sometimes its neccessary though." Zak glanced at Hikaru and winced. "Well, at least I dont have to interogate someone who has a temper."
-
"Oh I got a temper buddy" Jay chuckled "It just takes a helluva lot to really piss me off"
-
"Eh, a short fused temper then." Zak shrugged. "What would really piss you off?" he asked curiously.
-
"Dunno. I guess wrecking something I like?" Jay muttered, remembering his brief stint with Kurai "Yeah, wrecking something I like."
-
"Alright. And an example of one such thing would be...?" Zak led on.
-
"Oh this one megabitch that looks kinda similar to...." He pointed at Hikaru "That chick there. She blew up this carnival I wanted to go to."
-
"Oh she blew up a carnival? Thats rude." Zak said, glancing at Hikaru who was once again burning tables. "Alright.... What do you do for fun?"
-
"Really? I like to do a multitude of crap. Sometimes I just sort of hop around the universe, sometimes I go trollin' for the ladies and sometimes..." Jay listed "Sometimes I like to go to carnivals."
-
Zak chuckled. "I got the last one from your previous statement." He checked his notes. "Alright, I have no more questions for you." He stood up and held out his hand for a shake. "Thanks for cooporating."
-
"S'Cool bro" Jay laughed, shaking Zak's hand "Hey, if you ever wanna hang or something lemme know." He laughed, returning to his table to find James chatting to Skye "Oh fine then, i'll go sit with the damn robot" He muttered, picking up SCOUT and messing around with it. SCOUT didn't mind really. It was enjoying itself.
