Part 21e - Jack's brain and the Weird Stuff in there... by Shade

Spooky place this...

“What? Who?” Jack said looking between the two of them in utter confusion.
===========================================================
Re: Jack's brain by Jack
-----------------------------------------------------------
“At” The other Jack replied “First things
first, let’s erect some kind of mental defenses there big guy. Nothing
fancy, I don’t mind telling you that right now you are an open book.
Second, you are going to have to do something about those monosyllabic
responses there bud. Yes I know what you meant but hey it still bugs
the hell out of me, you are better then baby talk!”
“The answer to who, is simply you, I’m Jack or at
least the part that is head in both you and Cyan’s Card. No
memories but still you none the less. The Dark man over there,
he’s Jack as well. Or at least the part of Jack that is contained in
the pattern which is in you. He is your memories such as they are. I
know, I know don’t even ask it in the grunting words. If I’m Jack and
he’s Jack, who are you? Well your Jack as well. Think of is as mind
body and spirit if you like, and right now we aren’t playing as a team
here. Hey Shade, do you think we can do something about that
monosyllabic thing before I’m forced to throttle him, myself or
whatever? I’d hate to have to open up a 55 gallon drum of whup ass on
myself.”

I am afraid not. Sorry but only time or walking IT will help there. Even then I promise no guarantees, he did a right job of hosing us this time. Shade shrugged I mean he never got all of our memories back last time he lost it all and walked me IT. Still it might give him something to work with.

“What?” Jack asked even managing to look more confused
The other Jack winced “Oi Vey!” He exclaimed “Okay I’m not certain what
he said, he has all of the memories. But If I have this right you have
to walk the pattern that you saw to get whatever he can give you. No
big deal, you can do that here, you can do that now. You are imprinted
with that pattern and very good at it. Right?”
===========================================================

Shade at quietly comparing the
memory of Kali in the shower to Jacks twisted memory of Cyan in the
shower. He hid them away quickly blushing darkly Huh?
Oh right! Something like that, the thing is well, like I said it didn’t
even work right the first time. The Pattern is broken so the memories
are broken. No to mention what Goober did there in the breaks to mess
it up this time around. No telling how it messed with what is stored in
the pattern.
===========================================================

-----------------------------------------------------------
“Okay!” The other Jack jumped in and said before Jack could say another
simpleton response or worse yet quote nursery rhymes. “No problem
there, so you may still be a bit screwed up. I’ll tell you right now,
being fine is highly over rated. The shrinks may say “I’m okay, your
okay.” but they got it all wrong. It’s “I’m screwed up and you’re
screwed up, but it’s okay.” So what say we all get together and walk
this thing hand and hand?” As the other spoke the scene changed and
they stood in front of Jacks Broken pattern.
“Come on we can do it, we got places to go and people to beat. Our friends are counting on us.”
Jack watch the whole thing happen, and it happened
way to fast. It sounded like he was trying to sell himself something,
come to think of it his other self sounded like a bit of a sales man
and that dark one. He just didn’t like. . . not a friend. Jack stepped
up to look at this pattern that they spoke of. Examine it he
shook his head and said “No!” then turned around to look at them.
The other was standing right behind
him as he turned around, with the knowing smirk in place. “Sorry
man, can’t have you checking out now.” He said and tacked Jack forcing
the both back onto the pattern .
Before Jack knew what was going on Shade was there beside them. No way to go but forward now his smile was the same but a little wicked. You know what they say, you can never go back,
Jack tried to pull free and go back none the less. Soon he found
both of the others of himself driving him forward though he tried to
resist. Suddenly his foot came down on the blackness and he was whisked
away like someone in a dark river flowing towards the center. Washed up
in the next corridor of the pattern he saw them coming right
behind him. However they seemed less real now, and he seemed more real.
“I’m Jack of the dark well.” He pulled them out of the dark waters and
slowly becoming one they continued towards the center of the
pattern. Less afraid and more sure of himself. What ever
the out come he would be as whole as he could be, if not he had friends
that cared.

Somewhere in the depths, something still had
not quite gone right. The three were now one sort of, but still three.
Each trying to act as part of the whole, but still not quite, joined.
Ask about Lalai, trust me it is very important. Shade tried to put his influence into the mix.
The other Jack smiled an evil smile “You missed out on the broiled spider legs before, now’s your chance.”
