As she walked she saw the scenes around her change. Streets lost their pavement, probably from the multitudes of pedestrians. Buildings shrunk form Impressive, whitewashed towers into shabby apartment buildings and dumps overdue for a wreaking ball. As she stood at an enforcement station (the holograms with the crimzon signature and screamed out the barons voice), she noticed a small niche in the usually blank dead end. She cautiously walked over to the area as she heard voices.
"It's a con Jak. He gets to sit back in that cushy little spot safe and sound he barks us into another doomed situation. All of his jobs are easy!" She watched as the furball whined in a nasal voice and Jak replied simply,
"I want the baron to know that it's me who's hurting him. I couldn't give a damn about what jobs we get as long as they lead to the baron's death." It was now or never. She stepped out right in the only path out, a sly grin on her face as she leaned on the hood of her zoomer that would have been their only way out.
"Nice to see you're still so forgiving as you were that first day they locked you up Jak." Jak's face previously angrily locked in menace contorted in surprise and that initial fear that is always seen with such confusion.
"You!" she crossed her legs elegantly as she interrupted with a seductive smile.
"Me. I do have a name Jak, its Inanna. And since I already know you, I'll cut to the point." She leaned back and looked to the polluted sky, her playful grin disappearing into a more serious tone.
"I want a favor from you. And in return, I'll isolate one of the biggest wrenches in your plan for revenge." She sighed softly and turned her head to face him. Jak approached cautiously as if faced with a sleeping ram-head.
"That depends, what's your favor?" she closed her eyes loftily for a moment and then opened them again, her eyes flashing black.
"Why still so suspicious? I know where the underground is now; I could kill you where you stand with ease. Yet I do not. Doesn't this tell you something?" Jake gave her an indignant look in response to her subtle threat.
"Well you didn't seem like the friendly type last time we crossed paths." She sat up again, her legs still crossed.
"Well then we'll cut the formalities. I want Erol, and you want him gone. So if you help me, I'll take away both one of the biggest obstacles in your climb to revenge, and between you and Kiera-" Daxter interrupted her abruptly.
"Hey! How come you know about Jak and her?" she flashed him a charming smile.
"Well rat, I know everything about our darling Jak. His past, his present, his infatuations, his worries… I even know what he really thinks of you Dax." This seemed to take them both aback but Jak was quick to change the subject.
"So you want me to lure Erol out and you'll get rid of him for me? Tell me, why are you doing all of this?" She shrugged softly.
"Let's just say I have a history with Erol."
Nik: Yea I said I was on a roll last time.. but that stopped anyway. I wrote two chappis for you though. Inanna has stopped rhyming for the moment but its just a phase. The chapter after next she'll be finished with the explanations and back to her batty old self.
