[It's been about a month since the network has last seen Jack, and he seems to have pulled himself together since Sinclair's departure. He looks tired, but then he always looks tired, and he's smiling his shy, easy smile, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips.]

It's been a while since I've done anything really interesting. I'd like to

"Do you remember the alphabet from Cindy's drawings? I can teach it to you."

He's pleased to see Jack looking better, enough so that he can make the offer with no trace of unwillingness.

"I remember. Sure, that'd be nice. I'm learning the troll alphabet, too."

[paper_knight]

"Oh? What's it like?"

[kindly_done]

"Really different from ours!" He shows off a shaky example.

I've been bored too. I was wondering if you had any interesting ideas, actually. I guess that leaves both of us hanging.

[kindly_done]

...Maybe we could try hang-gliding again!

[demiurgos_girl]

I'm not sure how exciting it would be for me, but if you want to give it a try, I can help.

[kindly_done]

We'll think of something for you to try.

[usskickass]

Know anything about football?

[video]

[kindly_done]

Not really. Just that it's a sport.

[usskickass]

Heh, well, that's one way to put it. Some might call it a game of wits meets brawn: a theater showin' the best and worst of mankind.

Some are a little overdramatic, but it's still pretty damn fun, and I'm the best coach around these parts so you might as well get a lesson or two if you're really interested. Not to mention it's getting boring as watchin' paint dry around here.

First off: do you know what the ball looks like at all?

[kindly_done]

Um, it's the ball that's brown and has stitches along the side, right? It's kind of shaped like a big lemon.
