[26: video] when in doubt, find excuses to jump off buildings

Sep 12, 2010 17:49

[Jack is on the roof again--he seems to divide his outdoors time between the roof and the beach--grinning a little uncertainly into his communicator, plagued by the nagging feeling that he's forgotten something ( Read more... )

[ The door to the roof crashes open and Bhamba stumbles through. His head is glistening with sweat and his breathing is fast and ragged. He takes a few steps forward, almost falling rather than walking, urgently extends his hand, opens his mouth and...

And realises he completely forgot what he meant to say or why he hurried up here in the first place. ]

[Jack, who was making some adjustments to his hang-glider, springs to his feet, reaching for his wrench...which isn't there. He is momentarily distracted by the panic of being weaponless, and it takes him a moment to say anything.]

...Dr. Bhamba? You look...are you okay? Is something chasing you?! I'll--

[And, having forgotten that he just did it, he reaches again for a weapon.]

Where's my...

[action] angel_junk September 13 2010, 20:51:52 UTC

Something chasing me?!

[ He spins around in panic before realising that he was given a question, not a statement. He breathes a sigh of relief. ]

Ahhh... no. No, not since a particularly angry lab rat escaped from its cage this morning.

[ Noticing that Jack seems to be looking for something he helpfully adds: ]

Your glider is right next to you.

[Having once again forgotten what he was looking for, Jack glances at the glider.]

So it is.

[ He looks at Jack, then at the rest of the roof. The corners of his mouth twitch into a weak smile. ]

So, I...

[ He points towards the door he just crashed through and takes a step backwards. ]

Uh...

[ Another step. In slightly more elaborate terms this means: 'Well, I forgot why I came here and since I still have no idea what to say to you on account of our last encounter I'm just going to head back to my lab now.' ]

[action] kindly_done September 15 2010, 02:11:35 UTC

Well, I...

...Right.

[He raises his hand in a weak wave.]

[ Bhamba looks at the clouds with great interest, having forgotten that he meant to leave. ]

[action] kindly_done September 15 2010, 20:17:33 UTC

...What were you upset with me about? I don't remember.

[action] angel_junk September 15 2010, 20:38:11 UTC

[ Blink. Blink. Oh hey, somebody is talking to him! ]

Jack!

[ Beeeeaaaaaaam. More beaming. Question sinking in in 3... 2... 1... EXPRESSION FALTER! ]

I was not upset, it's just I'm worried you could...

[ He trails off, looking for the right words... looking at the clouds... looking back at Jack. ]

I'm sorry, you were saying?

[action] kindly_done September 15 2010, 22:32:03 UTC

Worried I could what? [A question that is now context free: Jack doesn't remember any of the conversation prior to 'I'm worried you could.']

[action] angel_junk September 15 2010, 23:26:51 UTC

[ Likewise. Let's just make an elaborate guess then! ]

...not fly?

[action] kindly_done September 16 2010, 03:04:43 UTC

[Glance at the hang-glider.]

I...decided not to anymore. I don't remember why.

[action] angel_junk September 17 2010, 19:17:45 UTC

[ Bhamba turns around and leaves. It's nothing personal, honestly, he just forgot that they were having a conversation that didn't actually end yet. ]

[action] kindly_done September 18 2010, 14:40:21 UTC

[Don't worry about it, Jack has forgotten that Bhamba was there in the first place.]
