Took me two years to get back here, son.

[Jack is feeling...unexpectedly helpful on this one. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is anyone's guess.]

Two years?!

[That's... Awfully a lot of time. But still, it's the first time rate he has got so far so it's definitively better than "who knows".]

That's a lot of time... Was everyone you knew here still here when you returned?

They WERE, actually---apparently only six days passed in the wake of my leaving, you see.

Odd thing, time.

But that's good, they didn't have to wait long for you!

[They didn't have to wait a month and counting... Goku already knows that Hakkai won't be back in just a few days, so... Even if time at Luceti is different he will set it as two years of wait even if it's awfully long.]

And you weren't lonely when you came back.

Nah---hard to be lonely in a tiny place like Luceti, eh? A man can't get a moment's peace here, is what.

There's lot of people but you don't know all of them, right? Wouldn't it be a bit lonely to not know anyone when coming here?

[Well, that about describes how it was for Jack when he FIRST got to Luceti, although Tia Dalma had greeted him.]

Aye---it would. But a man should keep himself to himself in any case, right lad? Trusting another too greatly out of loneliness or a need for camaraderie is a good way to set yourself up for an early death.

[This is the first time he has heard anything like that, well, he has been told to be careful and all but no one ever said it that way. The kid is all about trusting and getting attached easily as of now.]

Is it? Then... It's better to be alone? But that hurts, doesn't it?

Well everything hurts, son! That's why they invented rum!

What's that?

[It is a VILE drink that makes even the most respectable man act a fool!]

Rum's GOOD! And it can take that lonely hurt away, yes it can! For a few hours at least.

Really? So it's like medicine? Is it food?

No, lad----you drink it. At Good Spirits. It's one of the aforementioned good spirits, come to think of it. You should try it. You most definitely must try it, son.

Oh, it's a drink? Like sake? Ken-niichan used to drink sake a lot, said it was good for problems too.

[Watch him go to Buffy and ask for rum.]

Aye, that's right! You must find yourself some straight away when everything starts to hurt!

[oh dear God....]

[voice] justonename July 22 2011, 05:40:56 UTC
Aye! I'll go and ask for some now then, since it has been hurting for a while now. Will it work even if it has been hurting already?

[The sad thing is that even with this Jack is still a better influence than some of Goku's friends in canon.]
