Summary: How Jack passes the time while waiting to come back to life

The explosion was massive.  Jack had been killed instantly, dead before his body even crashed through the wall.  His team, for the most part, seemed to have fared better

hee! what's cripple mr. onion?

[donutsweeper]

No idea, it's the card game they play in Pratchett's books.

Cripple Mr Onion. Legendary amongst Discworld fans.

[smithy161]

YAY. Brilliant. I like the moment of 'eep' when he wonders if it's Gwen Death is there for. And Your Death is fantastic. plus - Jack knows how to play Cripple Mr Onion! Whee!

(I have to write a fic with Jack in the city watch sometime)

[donutsweeper]

geekgirl here actually looked up the rules to it! Death is a fun character to write for. Although, I wouldn't put it past him to cheat...

[smithy161]

*Points to above comment* I looked 'em up too!

I wouldn't put it past him either. Wouldn't do for Death to lose against a human.

[donutsweeper]

Lol! You did too! Death throws his game against Granny Weatherwax in one of the books I think... but I can believe that!

[aeron_lanart]

hahahaha or should that be HAHAHAHAHA. Or it is after the passing 'is it Gwen' moment. I love DEATH and him and Jack must be on at least cordial terms by now as they bump into each other so much. Love this *huggles*. I'm so glad that you're a crossover whore too *g*.

[donutsweeper]

"Crossover whore"

Yep, I suppose that title fits now. Jack crossing over into Doctor Who, Due South, Stargate Atlantis, Discworld, Dresden Files.... *g*

[persiflage_1]

Cute and funny...

[donutsweeper]

thank you!

[persiflage_1]

Welcome. Very Death and very Jack !

Wonderful! I'm working up to my 'Jack in Discworld' story at the moment, and this is a great reminder of how well it works.

Much enjoyed :)

*pootles off to find some Discworld icons*

[smithy161]

Oooh! I've got a Jack-in-Discworld story in mind, and it really does work. Can't wait to see yours!

[jadesfire]

I've done it with short stories, and although Ianto meeting Igor was my favourite, I quite liked Jack and Susan - they spark each other off nicely. Once I find a macguffin for the plot, I'm hoping it'll be my tardis_bigbang story. *crosses fingers* Looking forward to seeing yours! :)

[donutsweeper]

Thank you! I hope you find the plot point you need for your discworld story!
