018: Hallucinations suck

Nov 02, 2010 23:37

[Voice]
It's over, huh? Good. I need... [He trails off, perhaps unsure what he needs. A drink? A friend? A good night's sleep? A bullet to the head?]

...to forget all that. Somehow.

They always know just what buttons to push, don't they?

[Jack sighs and sets the journal aside, intending to switch it off. Before he does, however, one might hear ( Read more... )

malnosso are bastards

[mutters] You and everyone else.

[But that sounds a little callous, so he follows up after a moment, wryly]

And you can't ever say they're not good at their jobs.

[Jack leans back easily in his chair, starting to feel more relaxed now as he sips his beer again.] M'sure I probably have, but I haven't connected you to 'em. Who's here with ya?

[Action] oda_hates_me November 8 2010, 08:11:29 UTC

Nami-san, Luffy, Brook, Usopp, shithea- uh, Zoro, and Chopper. [He ticks them all off on his fingers... and then points at Jack in disapproval]

And in Nami-san's case, you keep your shitty eyes to yourself. [Hands off, sir. 8|]

[Action] captain_in_you November 8 2010, 08:24:50 UTC

[Jack puts his hands up and laughs.] No worries. I won't step on your toes.

I've seen some of 'em around... think I talked to that Brook guy once too. You're right, they're not exactly quiet. [He pours another two shots.]

Well then, shall we drink to your luck with the lovely Nami-san?

[Action] oda_hates_me November 8 2010, 08:28:12 UTC

Ah, Brook. [He smirks] Hard to miss him, huh?

[And oh Jack, why did you have to say that? Sanji's feeling warm, loose, and his expression (as well as his thoughts) are already getting slippery.

He visibly winces]

No no, it's not like... [He's just gonna take that shot now] Let's do some other toast.

[Action] captain_in_you November 8 2010, 08:40:57 UTC

Ah, sorry. Shouldn't assume things, huh? [Jack nudges his arm good-naturedly.] M'kay, you make the toast then. [His words are slurring a little now, and the pain of the past week is starting to ease just a bit.]

[Action] oda_hates_me November 8 2010, 08:44:59 UTC

[Fine, fine. He arches a brow but loosens up soon after, more than willing to focus on another toast than other issues - issues that aren't even that BAD, but still]

Alright, let's see... uh. [raises his glass] How about to this shitty week finally ending?

[Action] captain_in_you November 9 2010, 07:50:31 UTC

Works for me. [Jack tosses back the shot, then slams the glass down on the table.] I'm done with weeks like this.

[He swigs the beer again before setting that glass down with a bit more exaggerated care.] S'good you've got your crew here. I used to have a team, did I tell ya that? Fought aliens. Saved the world. Heroic... stuff. [He waves his hand absently, as though "stuff" encompasses everything they ever did in Torchwood.]

[Action] oda_hates_me November 9 2010, 07:56:06 UTC

[How many shots does one hypervodka equal again? Three? Four? Ten? Well, whatever the number, after that third shot, Sanji is definitely feeling it - like his head wants to dislocate from his body and float off without him.

He makes a slow move for that beer, just in case his hands don't want to cooperate.]

Sounds like a tall order. [grins loosely] But fun. [He asks the next question on his tongue without thinking about it properly]

Where's your cr-- ah, team now?

[Action] captain_in_you November 9 2010, 08:06:56 UTC

[Jack picks up the small shot glass, turning it around and around, focusing on that as though it's the most interesting thing in the world. He knows better than to take another drink just yet... the first three are hitting him like a freight train right about now.]

One of 'em... Gwen, she's still on Earth. Alive. Happy 'n married... she's gonna have a baby. Already has by now, m'sure.

The rest... [He swallows hard and sets the glass aside.] They all died. Suzie, Tosh... Owen died twice, I brought 'im back once. Hell, Suzie came back too and I had to kill 'er 'cause she was gonna kill Gwen if I didn't...

And Ianto... he died too. My fault. [He grabs the beer glass and chugs the rest quickly.]

[Action] oda_hates_me November 9 2010, 08:21:03 UTC

[The smile, the one that sparks to life when he hears about Gwen...

It dies when he hears the fate of the rest]

... Ah. [There's not much to say in light of that, and Sanji doesn't know Jack well enough to offer condolences. He pours them both another shot instead, somberly]

Something happen, or?

[Action] captain_in_you November 10 2010, 05:50:12 UTC

[Jack stares blankly at the shot, lost in the memories for the moment.] These... aliens came to Earth. They were going to take a tenth of the children. I... I was stupid. I went to face their... ambassador, thinkin' I could threaten them into leavin'. Ianto went with me. I didn't... I didn't even think twice about taking him, putting him in danger. We told them to leave or we would fight them and... and they released a virus in the building. Killed everyone there.

[Jack rubs his hand over his face and grabs the drink, slamming it back quickly.] I begged them... anyone but him. I was willing to give up everythin'... everyone on earth. Not him. But he died, 'cause I couldn't... I didn't... [He shakes his head quickly and looks away. It's still too soon, even almost a year later.]

And y'know, those Malnosso bastards? They've been lettin' me see him all this past week. Lettin' me relive that moment over an' over.

[[OOC: And there you have the moment in a nutshell that made EVERY TORCHWOOD FAN RIOT. ^_^;;]]

[Action] oda_hates_me November 10 2010, 06:07:12 UTC

[... Oh. That's...

There's no word to fully describe the magnitude of that, and again, Sanji's at a loss for words. He sorely wishes he had kept his damn mouth shut. It's too hard shaking the feeling he didn't deserve to hear - too personal.

He utters another quiet "Ah" under his breath, and stares pointedly at his shot glass.]

... Sorry; that wasn't any of my business.

[ooc: ffff you should've seen the look of horror on my face when I read this. Torchwood, wtf. 8|]

[Action] captain_in_you November 10 2010, 06:13:48 UTC

[Jack waves his hand and takes a deep breath.] Nah. S'okay. Shouldn't'a gone off on all that. [He forces a smile and waves the waitress over for more beers.] Let's drink to somethin' happier, yeah?

[OOC: Eheh, sorry for the massive spoilers? OH and that's about the point where I took Jack from, so emo much?]]

[Action] oda_hates_me November 10 2010, 06:16:45 UTC

If you can think of something, by all means. [He's not gonna complain. Being tipsy and depressed is a bad enough combo as it is]

[ooc: Oh no, it's fine. I probably would have never found out otherwise. >> ... Poor Jack. D8 His luck sucks.]

Re: [Action] captain_in_you November 10 2010, 16:38:53 UTC

Kinda hard to, now. [He broods a moment, then smirks darkly.] How 'bout to those Malnosso bastards gettin' what they deserve in the end?

[OOC: Oh yeah, the writers of Torchwood seem to have the mindset of "Jack can't die, so let's kill off EVERYONE HE'S EVER LOVED AND SEE HOW MUCH WE CAN FUCK HIM UP THAT WAY. 8DDD"]]
