Jack: Oh, for the love of-- Just fake it, love. I promise you, no one will know. Erinya: Have you met this fandom? These people know their classics. And their dead pirates. They'll know. Jack: Then distract them with convoluted sentence structure, scraps of Latin, and humorous side-tracking. [off her look] What? It's always worked for me.
This fandom's pretty sharp, it's true. And this is one of the stories I've been waiting for. PLEEEEESE?
Johnny: [from his personal cloud of smoke] Sorry, no. And just to really throw you for a loop, I'm finally marrying Vanessa this summer.
Don't you find Jack playing Johnny sometimes a bit weird? I mean, no weirder than the reverse, I suppose....
Will: No kidding. This one is a bit Grimm.
Oh that's good! I want to visit your Green Room!
Elizabeth: YES PLEASE. I mean, I guess that's all right. Will: That's it. I'm officially on strike. [produces sign] Come on, Elizabeth, let's go. Elizabeth: [sulkily] Oh, fine then. Like you never made puppy eyes at Jack on the way to Tortuga. Will: How did you--Hey! Did he tell you that?
Hee! I'm glad this made you laugh! It amused me, too.
I think the main problem with the Underworld story is that I have to deal directly with metaphysical law in the last part in order to finish it up the way I planned, rather than just riffing on the mythology. Further complicated by the fact that Persephone rather wants to keep Jack around.

Yep. Which is more and more what the ALK stories are about, crazy UST aside.

It is fun to play with them in meta-space, especially when I'm blocked on actual fic. And yeah, the post-AWE Green Room is an interesting place. Although it gets awfully snarky in there....
