video | guess who's back

[cptn_never_dies]

[Jack's grin is almost wicked and he laughs a little bit as he turns the video on himself, collar flipped up on his coat, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement.] I'd say it's good to be back, Aliunde, but it's really not. How long's it been? Did I miss Christmas? I did, didn't I? Well, that's hardly fair.

[He chuckles a little bit.] Boy, have I

[Tony's watching the message without much interest, at least until Jack cuts his hand and shows it healing. That definitely pings his interest.] Impressive trick with the hand. Magic? Or is it something cooler.

[cptn_never_dies]

Pft, way cooler than magic. Immortality. [It's why he doesn't get it taken away from him. It's just part of him, and it's impossible to remove without making everyone else immortal instead. It just... slows down for two months here.]

[ironfail]

Wow that's...also a lot less believable than magic. [Pardon Tony for looking skeptical. He is the king of skeptical bastards.]

[cptn_never_dies]

So I hear. I'd kill myself to show you, but it still hurts, even if I come back. Plus, it's not like I do it for fun. Makes a killer party trick, though.

[ironfail]

I can imagine. It's cool, I'd probably get yelled at for encouraging suicide if you did.

[cptn_never_dies]

Yeah, I don't think people are okay with that anymore. The worlds have come a long way from sideshows at carnivals with "The Man Who Can't Die".

[ironfail]

Lemme guess, you did those for a while. Classy. [Like Tony's anyone to talk about being classy.]

[cptn_never_dies]

I've done almost everything, handsome.

[ironfail]

[That gets a grin from Tony.] Almost everything?

[cptn_never_dies]

Never worked in an office building. Or a bank. Or as a buil-- no wait, there was one time. Does pretending to be a builder to sleep with one count? [It's difficult to tell if he's being serious, sadly he is.]

[ironfail]

Depends, did you get any building done in the process?

[cptn_never_dies]

Not with the amount of sex we had, no. [A chuckle.]

[ironfail]

Yeah, doesn't count then.

[cptn_never_dies]

Damn. Well, sideshows are more fun anyway. [He laughs lightly.] So, got a name, or do I just keep calling you handsome and hope it sticks?

[ironfail]

It won't take any time at all to stick, but you can call me Tony if you'd prefer. [He chuckles.] And you are?

[cptn_never_dies]

Tony it is then. [A smirk.] Captain Jack Harkness, at your service.
