| Mr. Hurricane:
Jaakko has trouble looking for what to say next. "We- I, had to shoot down a hijacked airliner, the one that was heading this way," he says. He looks around and lowers his voice. "Deltans hijacked it," he says quietly, "And that's not all of it either. I would prefer to talk about it in somewhere else than the mess." |
| Tayasaurus:
"Sure. Let's go talk about it somewhere more quiet." |
| Mr. Hurricane:
Jaakko just decides to grab a few of the snacks he can carry and trashes the rest. He leads the her to the common room outside of Mjolnir's bunks. He takes a seat and starts to compose his thoughts. "Well," he starts, "I feel a bit better because Gus, of all people, listened to me talk about this bullstuff already. He was even receptive, imagine that. The world must be ending," He shifts uncomfortably. "I didn't, or- it was more that I couldn't tell him everything," Jaakko recaps his conversation with Gus, and what he'd said regarding how he felt about all of it. He expresses his anger, grief, and shock, and mentions that he knows that he didn't have another option. Another mention is that Jaakko is aware of the stresses of recent events and how landing will be a time to get their thoughts in order. He then begins sharing what he didn't tell Gus. "Those loving Huit bastards left the mic open for our flight to hear the loving screams," Jaakko laments in a bitter and grieving tone. He pinches the bridge of his nose with his head hung over his lap. "I— I haven't hated the Huits this much since the Delta. And I'm conflicted about it! It's not fair the people like Cualli, but those worthless forgeters have killed so many of us Gods damnit! The Deltan theatre made me feel nothing but hatred for them, and now there's this loving stuff. And like I said, it's not fair to them, I know that it's not all of them and there are refugees that need our help in the Delta but I can't help but feel much more than spite," Jaakko laments, alternating between morose and angry tone. He looks to Tippy. "I'm sick of it. I don't want to be a hateful person, but I can't help but feel that I loving hate them, after all this time they've been trying to loving kill us," |
| Tayasaurus:
Tippy had been sitting attentively and listening to Jaakko vent his grief and anger, and the subject only made her think of what she had lost as well. The thoughts of those taken from her in battle made her share a large pool of sympathy for her wingmate. "Jaakko, since this war had been going, hatred has always been a factor between those who fight in them. It can infect all places of the world, from the Deltans to the Imperials and even NAUC. Speaking from my own experiences and one recent incident, I can say for a fact that that's not something you should let fester in your heart for very long..." Tippy takes a breath and thinks for a moment. "The Huits have been a mess for some time now since their defeat. From this, it's inevitable that hate would find a place to grow. Don't let it blind you from people like Cualli, or Coaxoch or any of them. Being angry yourself won't help you. You know what's right and you need to reinforce that. There are consequences that are within and outside our control, like the airliner. Evil will take and sometimes you can't get it back, and you can't take it back. You did what was within your control and I cannot blame you for that. But I won't say it won't ever haunt you, no matter what I say. What I can and will beg you to understand is that... hatred is a double edged sword, and it cuts both ways. Don't make hatred a foundation..." Tippy leans back in her chair a bit and lets out a very light hearted chuckle. "As If I were any shining example of that right? I've been fighting my own sea of emotions since Yukamo passed. I haven't treated others very well and after I woke up from nearly shooting a helpless cadet, I've decided I want to remedy that. Don't be like me and start a toxic cycle... keep your senses. If you're to hate something, only hate evil and seek to counter it at every corner." |
| Mr. Hurricane:
Jaakko stares at the floor, resting his arms on his knees, taking in Tippy's words. When she finishes, he nods and looks up to her. "You're the one whose dealt with this stuff before," He replies. Jaakko looks for more to say. "You're the one I can really confide in. Usually I'd be pretty open out my problems, at least that's something I learned that helps me. Here in the Air Force though, and more as the flight lead, there's nobody I can confide in. Not really at least, except for you. Despite what I told Gus already, I can't really go tell him 'I hate the loving Huits but I don't want to,'- even though I think he got the gist of it. I can't really tell him that I had to loving listen to the screams of those people the whole way down either. Or, rather I feel like I can't or shouldn't. I'm their commander first, something like that, you know? I don't really have a place complaining to them." He twists his head sideways to crack his neck, his face looks more grieving than angry. Jaakko looks back to Tippy. "Something like that," he says, his voice easing up some. |
