|| eight ☯ accidental video / action

[captaininnuendo]

[The feed opens to show Jack, obviously in a bar setting. But instead of his usual attempts to liven up the place, he's sitting in the farthest corner of the bar, the music blaring around him and both an empty glass of beer and a freshly filled one in front of him. He's very subdued for those who actually know how he is on most days. It's dimly lit so it's difficult to see, but his eyes are a little bit swollen, his cheeks a little damp. It's obvious he's not having a good day. And despite his attempts to hide away and wait it out, the City has a different plan as he doesn't know the video came on for all to see him in his melancholy.]




ooc: Jack's first curse in the City and I'm so cruel to him! Daddy Dearest curse, of course.

Unfortunately. Can't say I'm thrilled about it. What about you, mysterious voice? You get a visit?

[private voice;]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Mysterious voice, huh?

[Another who has forgotten him from his previous visit but that was expected.]

Fortunately not. Or perhaps unfortunately. I haven't the slightest who mine is.

[private voice;]

[captaininnuendo]

Don’t worry, mysterious can be sexy. And in some cases that can be better, not knowing rather than knowing. Although I guess if I didn’t know, I’d do my damndest to find out… out of curiosity. I’ve always had a problem with too much curiosity.

[He paused then laughed to his comment.]

Well, I appreciate it. Remaining mysterious has its benefits though we aren't on those terms now. You've been curious previously as well.

[Though brief, he hinted to his past connection with the man.]

Ignorance is bliss indeed but I suppose you could say my case is a bit different.

[Jack sighs and hesitates a bit. He’s been told people know him from before he can remember getting here so many times. And while he doesn’t like the idea of people knowing him without his knowing them, he’s used to it at this point.] Tell me how you’re different, oh mysteriously sexy one. I’m interested.

[He picked up the slight uneasiness he's created and couldn't help but grin.]

Relax. We were only briefly acquainted. Nameless at that.

Take a wild guess. Humans aren't the only ones brought here after all. There are no distinct paternal figures such as a father for my kind.

[Though he supposed the Dukes could have taken their place in a way but that was a whole other matter.]
