He didn't care much about the clock.

Until now when the chimes started, and the tremors. He grabbed the arms of the chair, clearly startled.

Then he was looking around with concern, wondering what it was.

"Oh no," says Jack, into his hands.

"This happened yesterday, too. It is like being in a blender."

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 00:53:09 UTC

"What's going on?" Fat Charlie asks panickedly. "What...was that?"

He has come down from his room, where he felt the tremors while trying to catch a few Z's. Now there's just no way he can sleep.

_to_the_bone August 21 2006, 00:55:04 UTC

"A quake."

Jack picks up on the panic, just a little, and manages to keep his voice calm.

"Just an earthquake. It is over."

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 01:02:33 UTC

"An earthquake?" Fat Charlie's eyebrows raise. "I never knew they had things like that at the end of the universe..."

He swallows. "But...that's the last of it, right? I mean, there won't be another...one? Will there?"

dragonofgrey August 21 2006, 01:03:14 UTC

Draco shook his head, and demanded, "What the Merlin was it? I don't like it."

_to_the_bone August 21 2006, 01:05:52 UTC

"No, neither do I."

He wrings his hands.

"But it is the second, yes? Were you here last night?"

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 01:12:15 UTC

"I felt something..." Fat Charlie thinks aloud, "but...I thought someone had just moved...around a lot. Had a party or something in the next room."

He frowned. "I had no idea that ...it was also a quake." A pause. "Is something happening to this place?"

_to_the_bone August 21 2006, 01:18:08 UTC

"I hope not."

He shakes his head.

"It is my home."

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 01:39:19 UTC

Fat Charlie nods. "It's my home, too," he says.

_to_the_bone August 21 2006, 01:43:03 UTC

A deep breath.

"It is over. Hello, Jack of the Frost at your service."

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 01:55:46 UTC

"Thank...God," Fat Charlie says with a slightly shaky sigh.

Holding out his hand, he replies, "I'm Charlie."

_to_the_bone August 21 2006, 01:59:53 UTC

Jack shakes his, with cool, dry fingers.

"I think I would like a drink. Sit with me?"

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 02:15:22 UTC

Fat Charlie nods, ignoring the somewhat strange coolness of Jack's hand.

"Sure," he says, "that'd be really nice, actually."

_to_the_bone August 21 2006, 02:16:10 UTC

"Alcohol is occasionally of some comfort."

Jack orders a vodka, then raises an eyebrow at Charlie.

fat_charlie August 21 2006, 02:24:00 UTC

"I agree," Fat Charlie says, remembering several times when alcohol has been there for him. And then unwillingly remembering many times more when it hadn't.

But he decides that now's a good time for a drink, putting his previous experiences aside. "Whiskey," he says with a nod. "Yes, whiskey would be great, thanks."
