Day 1. Namaste // Video

May 10, 2010 12:36

[Jack appears in the video looking pretty well for a man who was just blown up in a nuclear blast. He is sitting at his desk wearing a white T shirt, although the khaki fabric of a folded down Dharma Initiative jumpsuit can be seen around his waist. His smile is small, but genuine. He has a stitched up head wound on his left temple from the ( Read more... )

[VOICE: Have a moment of near-total silence, punctuated only by the breathing of someone struggling to keep herself under control. Then, she switches to VIDEO.]

Hi, Jack. It's been a while.

[Okay there's a creepy person breathing on the other end...]

2/2 [Video] jungledoctor May 10 2010, 02:50:47 UTC

[A smile and a release of breath]

Libby?

Re: 2/2 [Video] thatlibbychick May 10 2010, 02:58:00 UTC

That's me. [She gives him a weak little smile and wave.]

Have you--

Have you been here the whole time since--

[Video] thatlibbychick May 10 2010, 03:04:22 UTC

Yeah, I have. I don't think it's been as long for me as it's been for you, but...I have.

I've missed you guys.

[Video] jungledoctor May 10 2010, 03:12:02 UTC

Well, you look good Libby. But-- ah this computer isn't cutting it. Where are you on the ship?

[Video] thatlibbychick May 10 2010, 03:13:14 UTC

Level 2, Room 14. I should warn you, though--my room looks a lot like the hatch.

I think I can handle the psychological insult. I'll be down in ten.

[Jack cleaned himself up as much as he could in his bathroom. He was still dirty from the blast but was looking as good as he probably was going to under the cirucmstances. Peering into the mirror he noticed a fleck of blood on his neck that he must of missed earlier. Wiping it off, he took to the halls of the Barge. It was a foreign place but in some ways reminded him of Hydra island's facilties. It was an uncomfortable feeling he pushed to he back of his mind. He found the room Libby described and knocked on the door]

[Libby, having combed out her hair again and forced the impending tears back, opens the door. It was a shock to see Jack there, even after Desmond's arrival; Desmond really only marked one date in her life, but she'd known Jack from the island. He'd tried to save her life, and when he couldn't do that, he'd injected her with heroin in an attempt to ease her suffering. She was grateful that he'd been able to keep her going until Hugo had arrived.]

Jack...

[No taking his hands like she had with Desmond; instead, she gives Jack a hug.]

SPAM jungledoctor May 10 2010, 03:53:06 UTC

[Jack wasn't thrown by the hug at all, in fact it was precisely what he was going to do the moment he saw her. When he remembered the last vision he had of Libby; her passing away in the hatch and the anguish he had known when he couldn't save her life, he felt the emotion simmer in his gut. His arms found her back and pressed against her, pulling her close. His face broken into a relieved wash.]

It's so good to see you again.

Re: SPAM thatlibbychick May 10 2010, 03:58:44 UTC

I really didn't think I'd ever see any of you again...

[Her voice catches on the words, but she isn't going to cry. Not now. She doesn't want the tears to be misinterpreted. They'd simply be a sign of relief--relief at no longer being isolated in her memories.]

How have you been?

SPAM jungledoctor May 10 2010, 04:11:33 UTC

Honestly? I've been better.

[He breaks the hug and stands back an inch. He wasn't sure what to tell her about the last three years. His instincts told him to protect her, but he also knew of Libby's intelligence and occupation. Jack couldn't keep much from her, and he didn't know what she already knew. So much time had passed since they had last seen each other, but how long does it take to get over dying? He rubs his thumbs over his eyes to wipe away the wetness that was caught there.]

Alot happened after you left.

SPAM thatlibbychick May 10 2010, 04:17:36 UTC

[She nods at him, smiling a little, encouragingly.] It's okay, you can tell me. Hugo managed to get a note to me once, so I know some of the story already.

[She isn't getting into the story of how he left the note. It's way too complicated for someone to process on their first day, and the "how" isn't important, anyway.]

SPAM jungledoctor May 10 2010, 05:29:37 UTC

Can I? [He motioned to the door and smiled warmly. If he was going to tell her what had gone on in the time that had passed, she probably should be sitting down]

SPAM thatlibbychick May 10 2010, 16:17:43 UTC

Oh, of course. [She silently curses the way this emotional reunion is clouding her manners. She holds her hand out, motioning for him to enter, and follows after him, shutting the door.]

Please, have a seat. [She sits on one side of the couch, fixing him with a pleasant expression. Inside, she's jittery and eager to hear what she's missed; clearly, he's from a time after the events laid out in Hugo's note. She wonders if they've had a chance to implement their plan to start things over, however they'd decided to do it.]
