Handsome Jack here! I'm way too busy being awesome to answer the phone, but tell me why you're calling and if you're important enough, your people will hear from my people.

vid, post-curry cookout

[fingersandteeth]

[It's one of Steven's short days at the Radio Tower, which means he leave later and comes home earlier than Jack--even if he's still in his work clothing when the vid message pops up on Jack's pokegear.]

Bebe? There's someone named Claude here to see you. I think he might be one of the natives? What should I tell him?

[thedifferencebetween]

Oh. Him.

[Well this is annoying. On so many levels. Jack rolls his eyes.]

Yeah, no, he's local. Also a mook. Just tell him fuck ups aren't allowed to come crawling back.

[fingersandteeth]

[The moment Jack says he's a mook, he gets the privilege of experiencing Steven's look of mild concern completely vanish from his face, replaced with an expression of cold calculation.]

Of course I will. Permission to reinforce that lesson however I need to?

[Can he beat him up, Jack?]

[thedifferencebetween]

What? No, he's just an idiot I wanna make squirm a little more.

[fingersandteeth]

[Slight disappointment.]

Right. Give me a moment.

[Steven disappears from in front of the 'gear's screen, although he doesn't turn it off. Jack is treated to the sight of his own walls, before Steven sets the 'gear down on a foyer table. He opens Jack's door again and says,] Won't you come inside? [in his most polite tones.]
