IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa "Well," Jojax said wistfully, "I suppose that if we need to get stronger we've got to train... So I should probably get back to hauling rocks for the wall..."

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa Jojax looked down at her hand still holding her father's mask."I guess if life isn't gonna play fair you've got to reach out and take what you want. "

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa Jojax perked up at the mention of Siege Weapons. "Like the huge catapults I saw one time? They said they had a pair of skakdi to load them up with lava."

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa "Now that's smart, what do ya have in mind?"

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa There was another pause. "So... What are you gonna do now?"

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa "Yeah, an it's not the kinda thing I can just punch and make it go away..." When can I wear the mask pop? One more year, then I'll give it to ya. That's what you said last year...

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa A look of relief washed over her face. "Appreciate it, I guess I've just got a lot on my mind... An I'm not used to putting my thoughts in words."

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa Jojax gave T'harrak a suspicious look. "Did he send you to check on me?"

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa Jojax shrugged. "Yeah, I guess, he probably thinks I'm going to punch another hole in the wall"

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa "I THINK I WILL!" and she was about to march off, but stopped. "Oh yeah," she mumbled, "boss is gone."

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa Jojax furrowed her brow, chewing on that thought for a moment. It's like when my dad fought the Sly Sorcerous. Got in the ring and was absolutaly embereassed. Turned out she had been watching his fights and knew all his weak spots. Another moment of mental chewing. "WHY IN ARTAHKA AND KARZ DIDN'T WE DO THAT!"

IC Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa That made Jojax perk up just a little. "So battle's aren't usually so . . . chaotic?" More like humiliating.

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa "Yeah" Scenes of the chaos and destruction of the battlefield filled her mind. She shook her head to clear it, but it didn't work. "Was that your first time?"

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa Pop, when do I get to wear the mask? Well ya've got a lot of training ahead of ya. Jojax's relief turned to resignation. "No, you didn't do anything wrong. You were just tryna stay alive." She paused, glancing dow at the mask in her hand. "We all were I guess. It was so confusin..." And scary, but she didn't say that part aloud.

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa The bedridden Skakdi was smiling and stretching out his arms. Jojax awkwardly leaned in for a hug. "Sure thing!" Jojax Ripped herself away from her delusional 'fan' and walked out the door. As soon as she was out of sight of the medical room she reached up and removed her father's mask. "Thank the ancestors you showed up."
