[We interrupt your canon bump with a virus]

[Jin has a chair tilted back as he looks over the Go-Busters' weapons, working on repairs.]

Man, that Escape was something else. You know, it figures--you meet a pretty avatar and she tries to kill you.

[That's when the virus hits. And before he has the chance to register that he's suddenly younger, he falls backwards and hits the floor.]

OW!

[A pause as he realizes what that means.]

...That should not hurt that bad. J!

Got my brain synched up with the computers around me--pretty much everything was computerized around me, so it was easier than it sounds. And I activated a robot I'd been building and instructed him how to generate the avatar while I worked on the rest of his systems so I don't have to hold his hand everywhere.

So you're controlling the whole thing from where you are, in a coma?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yep. Goal's to eventually get my body out of there without killing me, but that's pretty much it.

[sandinmyboots]

Hmmm. Do you think magic would help?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Not sure, to be honest. Despite all the people running around in multicolored spandex, magic's kind of rare in my world, so I've got no experience with it.

[sandinmyboots]

I'm good at it. I don't have holograms or spandex on my world, but I'm sure we could work a thing out.

Besides, imagine everyone's faces when you derail the trainline of fate, as it were! The climactic battle never occurs! You're not stuck in some nasty hologram dimension for all eternity, prolonging existence forever!

[UGH. Existence is horrible. It's against his morals to leave people in some awful stasis when he can kill him.]

[It's not because he's taken a shine to Jin. Nope. No sir. Kefka would neverrrrr do a thing to help someone he was fond of, nope, it's all evil here. He will deny it and is denying it inside his head vehemently.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Something worth thinking about. And at least I can say I tried, you know?

[The idea of dying is scary, but not quite as scary as being caught in-between forever.]

[sandinmyboots]

Ex-actly! You'll find a way out or die trying, which is much more fun than giving up!
