[Hello, community, here's a rather concerned-looking Jak. And peering over his shoulder is another Jak - looks like he might be a couple years younger? He has much longer hair, anyway.]

Okay, so you're saying this... thing in the computer pulled me - both of me - through time? I think I had enough time travel for one lifetime already.

Maybe you'll forget it when you go back. I know I don't remember this happening. Anyway, let me explain things.

Hey, guys? Has this happened to anyone else? [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder at the other Jak.] Younger me showed up this morning and nearly shot me.

[A bandage-wrapped hand taps him on the shoulder, and the two of them part to reveal a familiar sight - this version of Jak has been here before, it's the young one who doesn't talk.] Oh, and so did even-younger-me. Except he didn't shoot me.

So, uh... how am I supposed to deal with this? I can't really lock all three of me in here until the virus ends. I do that too much anyway...

[The middle version of Jak coughs. It sounds suspiciously like lucky bastard.]

[Oh hey, here is a familiar sight. A really young Rose is smiling at the camera and waving.]

Hi! Why you have pointy ears?

[You can hear the adult Rose in the background saying something along the lines of 'Get away from that!']

What the he-mmf! [Jak hastily clamps a hand over his double's mouth]

What is it with you and swearing in front of kids?

[He turns back to the camera.] Just because. That's just what I look like, it's no big deal.

[Little Rose was about to ask something else when Adult Rose comes into view and picks her up.]

Hey!

Sorry about that, she got away from me for a second.

No problem. I'm going to have to come up with a reason or a way to hide them if I ever end up somewhere where people have round ears, anyway.

[The middle Jak is staring a little. Whether he's startled by Rose's ears or is just ogling is hard to say, but present Jak elbows him just on general principles.]

Don't bother. You'll regret it in... eh, probably a couple weeks at most, anyway.

What's that supposed to mean?

You'll see. [He turns back to the screen.] Anyway, how are you? Uh, is there a third Rose lurking around back there, or is it just you two?

[Adult Rose arches a brow at middle Jak, before turning her attention back to present Jak.]

It is just us two, though I could use a second pair of hands. I never realized how much of a handful I was.

[The child Rose yawn and looks up at her.]

This is boring. Can I go outside now?

No!

[Insert one very disappointed child.]

I don't like this dream anymore.

I'd offer to help, but he's got worse issues than I do and I don't think the kid can keep him in line by himself.

Hey! [The two younger Jaks both look rather affronted at that... though the youngest is probably just annoyed at being called "kid".]

It is fine. I will try to think of something before she destroys the place.

[Of course Bitty!Rose is just grinning at that last part.]

Wish I could help somehow. I don't usually have to deal with kids. Well, there was one, but he was me, too. Freaking time travel.

I could only imagine. Remind me to get something nice for Corinthian, since he had to deal with during that other virus.

Weren't there just plain two of him around for a while anyway, at some point?

There was. From the story that I got, one was an earlier version that was unmade. The one who is my friend was the remade version with a different personality.

Ah, okay. That, uh... I'm assuming that actually works with dreams, because that would be kind of freaky if he was a human.

Indeed, but it is not that very surprising when you learn more about the Dreaming.

I guess not. I mean, they're... well, dreams. I guess they're sort of a different kind of real or something? This weird metaphysical stuff isn't really my strong point.

I do not think it is a strong point many people.

Well, yeah, but most people don't have to deal with it.

This is very true.

[And by now, bitty Rose, still in Adult Rose's hold, is yawning.]

[The youngest version of Jak gives a rather exaggerated yawn, too. He's not really mean-spirited, but he's the closest somebody who doesn't talk can get to a smart-aleck sometimes.]

Oh, be quiet. Look, we'll find something to do when I'm done with the conversation, okay?

I imagine this cannot be very interesting for either of them.

[Of course where younger Jak is being sarcastic, bitty Rose is actually starting to fall asleep. She is a small child after all.]

[Middle Jak cuts in.] Yeah, no kidding. Well, if you're done talking to your girlfriend...

She's not my - what the hell, seriously.

Well, I mean, since we obviously never see Keira again.

Of course we... oh, hell, are you seriously that early? Look, we see her again. It doesn't go that great at first, but we do. Rose is just a friend I met through the community - a long time after that.

[Rose arches a brow at middle Jak.] We are not dating. I am being courted by someone else.

But-

But what? I'm not allowed to have friends that happen to be girls now?

... Oh, shut up. [And middle Jak goes off to sulk.]

.... I am not even going to ask...

I should probably leave you to trying to figure out something to entertain those two. Hopefully this virus will not last long.

Eh, I've done monsters, robots, aliens, and mobsters, I can probably handle me and me.
