Ch. 9 - You only wish you could be like Jack of Fables

Aug 15, 2011 09:59

[Voice]

All the kids were packed at the beach yesterday. I took a stroll through there, just to be reminded that over half this place is under the age of seventeen. What a pain.

[Having spent a few centuries in a town full of immortals, teenagers and children were a pretty rare sight, save for those stuck at that age like Pinocchio and Ozma. So ( Read more... )

Try a change in attitude.

[ written ] originaljackass August 15 2011, 17:02:50 UTC

That's helpful.

In the end, it's all down to you. It's all in the mind.

And here I thought you only did medicine. You're a shrink too?

Fighting.

[And then since that doesn't quite use up his word quota, he'll actually be "generous" and say something more... though on the other topic.]

There are a lot of kids here...

[voice] originaljackass August 16 2011, 00:39:26 UTC

Oh good, I'm not the only one who noticed. [Or in other words, "No duh".]

[voice] justicereigns August 16 2011, 01:23:48 UTC

[He is Captain obvious all over.]

Though I'm more inclined to leave the partying to Selphie and the like.

[voice] originaljackass August 16 2011, 01:35:23 UTC

[Whoever Selphie is.]

I'm not. I like to leave the partying to myself.

I can tend bar if everyone else wants the chance to relax.

originaljackass August 16 2011, 00:42:41 UTC

You'll have to talk to Zack. He's volunteered, but I bet he won't mind having someone to switch out with.

fierybluebird August 16 2011, 00:52:36 UTC

Zack, got it... I have no idea who that is though.

originaljackass August 16 2011, 01:18:55 UTC

Spiky haired guy, black hair, he's one of the bartenders.

...Beach party for the old folks, huh?

[Voice] originaljackass August 16 2011, 01:21:33 UTC

That's the general idea. Nobody wants to be stuck on a beach with a bunch of teenagers.

[Voice] derek_bliss August 16 2011, 01:23:40 UTC

Depending on the guest list, I'd be willing to man the grill.

[Voice] originaljackass August 16 2011, 01:34:29 UTC

Usually that's the host's job. But I could always use a backup. [Someone to man the grill while he scopes out the ladies.]

[ Lightning isn't talking to Jack-- not avoiding him, really, but... definitely not making an effort to seek him out, either. Frankly, she's not sure whether or not she's glad that he's at least made a reappearance on the journals a few times since he was... you know, kind of slayed and all, but today's "suggestion" doesn't really endear him very much. She ignores it.

That doesn't really help her much when she happens to be in the same place physically, though. She frowns when she spots him coming into the item shop, pausing in her search for... something there. ]

action! originaljackass August 17 2011, 00:00:46 UTC

[What, just because Jack likes to seduce pretty women, that suddenly makes him a bad guy? Your standards are too high.

He's in the item store messing with the weights when she comes in. Or rather, he's holding up a two hundred pound set with the same sort of regard someone might for a ten pound set. And he doesn't look happy about this at all, because it means it's useless to him.]

Damn, when did being so strong have to be so annoying?

action! thestormishere August 18 2011, 03:50:45 UTC

[ Lightning's frown tightens when it filters through to her what he's doing- she'd suspected he was probably inhumanly strong before, but hadn't really the evidence ever put in front of her before....

Though it's not as if she really needed anything else to show he wasn't normal, after transforming into a dragon and all. In any case, she's not surprised.

But it does lead her into actually approaching him- crossing her arms, she stares at him with her pale eyes narrowed. ]

Jack...

action! originaljackass August 18 2011, 04:23:50 UTC

[If only she knew that he got this super strength not from some secret super soldier program. No, he made a movie trilogy about himself. Funny world.

When he hears her voice, he finds himself a tad surprised she's even initiating anything. He gazes at the weight in his hand for a bit, before setting it back on the rack, like Rogue asked before.]

Lightning. [See? He remembered.] Fancy meeting you here.
