originaljackass | Ch. 1 - There is no plan without Jack of Fables

[Voice]

Hey Kennedy, meet me at Good Spirits. We're going to have a drink.

[Despite his fantastic lack of an intro post, Jack is actually already settled into Luceti, having already been around for over a week now. Having noticed the large quantity of people who walk around with weapons, Jack has already looted the smithy for a pistol and a perfectly preserved Confederate Officer's saber he'd kept since the war. Sure, it had no special powers and would probably shatter if he used his full strength hitting something with it, but damn if he didn't look cool. Hell, he even has his old officer's hat to go with it.

He'll be available at Good Spirits both before and after meeting Kennedy (if indeed the poor sailor shows up) to be poked and prodded. Or if that's not your thing, he'll be taking his time on his way home in spite of the heavy snowfall (which barely bothers him anyway), whistling a forgotten tune, and wondering what a man is to do in a moneyless economy when his greatest ambition is having lots of money. Which he already had in the real world.]

Billion. Possible trillion. I have a lot of gold to cash in.

So I guess you're the proof that money can't buy manners.

You should have seen me in Hollywood, Buffy. I was very high class. Impeccable manners. [And absolutely, utterly ruthless.]

So what changed you into this?

I was ripped off by some people back home. And then kidnapped. [A pause.] Not Luceti. That comes later.

Was that time also involving evil scientists?

That was the librarians from hell.

...Hell librarians?

I don't like talking about it. [A first.]

[ surprised, she backs down. ]

Fine. Subject change is a go. Settling in okay?

I've got my own place. I make most of my own meals. Still haven't qute solved the problem of spending my time, but I've avoided having too many crippling injuries.

Get a job. I did.

Finding a job for me would be a long shot. I do big things and this is a pretty small town for that. [Not that he's unused to physical labor. He did grunt labor for weeks before landing himself in the Snow Queen's bed. But his major source of income is living from one scam to another.]

Fine. Waste away from boredom -- see if I care.

Tch. I thought you apologized for being like that. [See this face, he looks genuinely put out.]

[ see this? this is her trying to genuinely reign in the attitude for a moment.

with a kinder voice: ] Can I get you another drink, sir?

[He shakes his head, reaching down and pulling up an empty bottle of scotch from the ground.]

My friend and I polished this off earlier. Pretty sure I've it my limit.

What is it about this place and collecting alcoholics?

[He smirks.]

Well, for once, you're working in a bar. Secondly, I meant my limit before I become drunk. Alcohol isn't my vice. Even it can be a fun one.

We serve non-alcoholic drinks, too.

[ said with a pout. ]

Pepsi.

[Happy?]

[ hope you like it with a slice of lime and an umbrella. ]

[Not really. He lowers his head to stare at the umbrella, then up at Buffy.]

Cute.

[ she goes overboard when she's being belligerent. ]

Standard, not cute.

[He still keeps his head resting on his hands, save for a moment taken to retrieve the tiny umbrella which he twirls in front of him.]

I may give up alcohol altogether just to start a collection of tiny umbrellas.

[ action ]
