James sighed. He knew how Judas felt. He understood.
Sarah... he used to love her. He did for so long. He felt alone.
Well, now, he wasn't. He was gaining friends.
[spoiler]Why do I want Judas and Phoebe to be a thing?[/spoiler]
English
-
[spoiler]Leaving that up to you, lol.[/spoiler] [i]Judas kept his silence, eyes flickering over to James before he nodded calmly. In truth, he seemed worried.[/i]
-
Phoebe finished her drawing for Judas, "Aaaaaand done!" The drawing so realistic. So captivating. It looked exactly like Azra.
-
"...It's identical to her." [i]Judas muttered, taking the drawing. He would look to Phoebe, bowing his head.[/i] "Thank you, ma'am. For this.. solace. I don't think that I'll meet her again, but.. I can hope, still."
-
She nodded, "Yes, keep your solace. But I will advise you this, in the words of Monty Oum: We must keep moving forward." James wasn't paying attention, he was admiring the drawing, "Huh?"
-
"Of course. But.. thank you again, Phoebe." [i]Already, it was more than obvious that he had begun to respect her a little, for her care and kindness.[/i]

[i]Oh no,[/i] he thought to himself, [i]Next comes admiration. Then comes liking. Then comes crushing. Then comes dating.[/i] Then he bit his tongue, [i]Oh, no, I sound like a stereotypical dad.[/i]
-
[i]Before Judas could continue, Thor would exit the room, carrying.. a custom weapon. One of his own making, not Phoebe's.[/i] "Bless Azra for teaching me this trade.." [i]He murmured, holding up the weapon. It appeared to be a fully automatic rifle, that utilized Cabal shells instead of regular bullets. Scriptures of the Cabal language decorated the side, as he primed the weapon.[/i] "Behold, Caesar. Veni, vidi, vici."
-
"That seems.... appropriate," Phoebe noted. "Wait, does that shoot Cabal rounds?" James asked.
-
"You mean microrocket explosives combined with armor-piercing penetrators and shrapnel in the process? Hell yeah."
-
"Ho-ly shit. I want one," James replied.
-
"Here's the first." [i]Thor held out the gun for James to take, nodding.[/i] "Ten rounds of "Fuсk you", bud. Served and brought to you by Thor." [i]Engraved into the weapon was a hammer, with a Nordic symbol in the center. Odin's Horn, in particular, likely Thor's sigil.[/i]
-
He lifted the gun. "Whoa... this will kick ass. I can't wait to test it."
-
"Damn right it will. I'll be back, still working." [i]Thor went back into the bedroom, as Judas murmured to himself about a Gunsmith.[/i] [i]He explained, soon enough.[/i] "Azra taught him gunsmithing. He doesn't admit it, but he loved her as a friend. Looked up to her. He brought me to a session one day, and a week later.. me and Azra went on something of a date."
-
"Interesting," Phoebe noted. James sighed, "It's funny, how you meet and get to know people."
-
"Indeed. Thor has always been.. quiet, about he feels about others." [i]Judas sighed, shrugging about it.[/i] "He's alright, though. Certainly helpful during Nightfall operations. I've seem him strike down a Valus with a crushing blow from his hammer.."
-
"Daaaaamn," James muttered. "That's awesome. I still want to be able to bring down a Hive Prince in a single slam."
-
"I couldn't do that if I had a sword bigger than Crota. Though I can boast about using a similar sword of Cabal construction against the waring legions and the Vex, mostly the latter. The Vex are the true enemy, now with the Cabal weakened and the Hive driven into the darkness of which they came from." [i]Judas seemed a little biased about fighting the Vex and placing the importance of destroying them over fighting the other, still prominent threats.[/i]
-
Edited by Splashback77: 2/4/2018 2:50:50 AM"Right," James replied. "You know, it it wasn't for Savathûn, the Vex wouldn't be in our system," Phoebe said.
-
"I know. Nonetheless, the sister of Oryx is a concern as well.. yet, we wondered if she had taken over the Taken yet, or not." [i]Judas clenched his fist a little, sighing.[/i] "The Fallen are uniting. The Hive infest and burrow, yet driven back for a time. The Vex continue to pursue their alternative timelines. The Cabal have been decimated. But the Taken.."
-
"The Taken..." James muttered. "The Dreadnaught... some Hive may still be hanging around there, as well as Taken," Phoebe noted.
-
"Why we don't excavate that thing more.. the place is ripe for plundering technology, especially Cabal tech. I've tried getting Ikora to initiate teams to do such a thing, with Zavala's.. disappearance."
-
[spoiler]Yeah... disappearance[/spoiler] "Zavala disappeared?" James asked, trying to sound surprised.
-
[spoiler]Yeah..[/spoiler] "Indeed. There still isn't a Titan Vanguard still, though.. many have applied for the title." [i]Judas sighed, at that.[/i]
-
"It will probably go to Sloane," Phoebe said, "Either be Sloane, Mantz, or the other Laney." "Wait, didn't the Hunter Vanguard change twice this year?" James asked, "I swear, it went from Cayde, to Mark, to Jacob Laney."
-
"It's changed, certainly. Sloane has Titan to look after.. though we may as well shell the damned place. A darkness lives within those oceans.." [i]Judas murmured, then sighing.[/i]
