Ch. 12 - Hollywood was just waiting for Jack of Fables

[originaljackass]

[Today, Jack Horner returned from his mission feeling rather smug. It was more work than it was worth, but Jack had returned with a set of DVDs for the Jack Tales. He may have lost every cent from the trilogy thanks to that bastard Beast from Fabletown, but he still had the movies and that was all that mattered. So after proudly bragging about them to Buffy at the bar, he plugs the first movie into her DVD player and then positions his journal to provide all of Luceti with a video stream of the first movie:

The Jack Tales I: Jack and the Beanstalk.
((ooc: the above link has info on the movie, a synopsis, and the cast of the movie. If you have questions, you can reply to that post.))

After the three hour movie is over, he turns the journal over to himself.]

That's part one of my life story. Pretty amazing, right? Of course, it was way better in real life, but Hollywood can only do so much. I'll wait 'til I show you the next one, though. Back home, people had to wait a whole year. But I think a month ought to do.

[For non-movie related shenanigans, Jack can be found at Good Spirits at 10PM after the movie is over, serving up drinks and doing general bartender-y type things.]

(OoC: The voice part is open for threadjacking! Feel free to have people talk about the movie to one another or what have you. Jack won't necessarily reply to everything!)

He sighed in satisfaction as she moved about him. He'd enjoyed the boat ride before, but this was already turning out to be far more enjoyable now that she seemed to be really enjoying the moment.

"You'll be the most powerful in the land. A goddess, even."

"Don't push it too far, Mister Horner." This would be a wonderful ride in its own right, Effie decided. She was in the middle of discarding her pretty purple undies on Jack's bedroom floor. "It's much more fun to be a woman."

He likewise was pulling his boxers off before letting them fly to some unimportant corner. "Well, I'd hardly know, would I? You'll have to tell me all about it."

"Men don't care about things like that." Her tone was surprisingly cool and matter-of-fact, considering their situation. Effie laid herself out along the length of Jack's body, pressing skin to skin. Warm.

[action] do we mind a ftb here?

"You'd be surprised at the things I care and don't care about."

With her on top of him, he pressed his lips to hers, silencing any more conversation that might ensue.

He might have silenced conversation, but there was plenty of sound filling that residence. Effie wasn't quiet about the actual Dirty Deed; she only acted prudish about it around people like Tributes.

Later, when she lay beside him on the rumpled-up bed, she closed her eyes and pictured herself back in the Capitol -- walking down a cool, shaded street, beside fountains dedicated to the greatest heroes of Panem. Presidents and administrators, past and present, represented in marble and granite.

Somehow that image didn't bring as much comfort as it usually did, so she tried to re-direct her daydreaming. Ah, that was better...A closetful of shoes.
