We see Jack Jones in his room inside his home. All around his walls we see old poster of many things and many people. He has a poster of Shadow from way back in the day. And while it still makes him sad he cant make himself take it down. That was his father. And he misses him everyday but it makes him happy to still remember him. There are other posters, one of a house on a mountain side in Montana, with a small river running underneath it. When he was younger he used to dream that would be the house he would buy and move there and just retire and rest. There is a picture of Candace still on his dresser and he misses her too as well. But that is what memories are for, to remember those things he loved and cared for. All things pass, but somethings he never wants to forget.
Maybe he thinks a lot still like a child, or maybe not? Who knows. Who cares. This is how he has it and the way he want to leave things. The way he want to have things. A part of him fears if he puts these items away he will forget them. And he does not want to forget any of it, much less lose them. These things, these memories are special to him. And he wants it to remain that way.
He has other things in his room, his high school diploma framed and on the wall. A snake eyes action figure as well. He never had many toys as a small child, though his father had a few. (he smiles at that) There is a conan the barbarian comic also in a frame. He wanted to be like conan when he was very small, he thought being strong like him was a good thing and he’s held on to it all these years, if not the idea but at least that memory.
“Welcome to my room. I dont think ive ever let the cameras in here before? At least I dont think I have. But after sometime I forget things just like anyone else. I am human after all. I think as I get older I will forget more and more. And that is one thing I am really afraid of. I do not want to forget. I fear if I forget then I will lose a part of me that means something. But that is just me.”
He starts to put some clothes in a backpack.
“So currently I hold the IC title. Thats all good and all but its just a title, one ive held before and while I respect it, it doesnt really mean all that much in the grand scheme of things. Not when you compare it to real important things, things like family, friends, loved ones. To me those are the real important things, those are the things that matter, at least thats how I see things, thats how I feel, and have always felt. I guess its just the way I was brought up? I know things change as we get older. Priorities change, and our lives changes, thats just part of life. “
He finishes with his backpack then checks his phone for new messages.
“I never really got too into technology like cellphones, email, internet, and I was never really a big gamer. I guess I am just a fossil even though I am probably the youngest in SFT. Speaking of which I should talk about my upcoming match on Titans. I will be facing two familiar faces, Louis Cypher and Rumpke. First lets address Cypher. What can I say about him? What should I say that hasnt already been said by me and others, or by he himself? Louis is a man with twisted priorities. He is not like most, he is dark? I guess thats the best word for him, maybe twisted? Yeah thats a bit better. He has talent but he doesnt seem to care one way or another, not in the way Redd or I but in his own weird way. (He shrugs)
Then there is Rumpke. Oh gosh what can I say about him? He probably has the most talent of anyone I have seen in years, maybe even more talent than Redd Jude or Emerson. But he is like an arrow in the window, looking for a target, not having direction I guess, Strong and fast but not directed the way an arrow should be, so without a proper target it never gets to aim nor land where it should. But he is one eye away from landing that target, and when he wants to, when he needs to, he can be a force to reckon with. Yeah thats about right.”
Jack takes a deep breath.
“So guys I’ll seeya both on Titans. Goodluck to us all.”
