[and the Brigadier is on the plane, looking the exact opposite of pleased. he has a hand pressed to his side, and is wincing just a bit] Damn! Bloody, hotheaded... going to get someone killed!

You've certainly got the time now.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Didn't have to for a while, when we had a Doctor.

[a bit of a laugh] Sullivan handles the wounded back at UNIT. Good man.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack gives a slight nod and leans down, picking up the medical kit and supplies] I'm no expert Brigadier, but I know enough to realize that this [he holds up the blood-soaked pad] is not what a humans blood is supposed to look like.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[he nods firmly, but otherwise doesn't react] I know, Harkness. I don't quite have an explanation for it.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming it hasn't always been like this; is this the first time you've sen it like this?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Of course it hasn't always been like this. I'm not some... thing. [he idly rubs his eyes] I've seen it once before. Didn't tell anyone - none of their concern.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

It concerns me. How long ago?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Shortly after revival.

[Jack looks at the pad for a moment, then brings it up to his nose, not even pausing before taking in a deep breath] The metallic scent Amaterasu smelled....it was your blood?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

...Possibly?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[annoyed sigh goes here] I knew it was too good to be true.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[he is so unaffected by that sigh, Harkness] Yes, clearly bringing the dead back isn't enough. Have to turn their blood into something else.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Something black and...sparkly?[this is clearly a bigger issue with Jack than the color, because...sparkles]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

... Could we please not focus on the sparkly aspect, Captain?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Can't help it; you'd think someone dumped a bag of glitter on it.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Captain. Really, no one dumped glitter in it.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[would respond, but he's too busy laughing at the mental picture of a sparkle-covered Brigadier]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[the Brigadier finds absolutely no amusement in this, and he's just staring at you, Jack. though, really, why does this happen to him so often? really, you'd think the jab about painting his toenails would have been enough for the universe]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[give him a few more moments and...there, he's done laughing now]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

I fail to see how that was funny, Harkness.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I guess you would, since it's your blood....

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Nobody put glitter in it.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Still looks like it, though.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[the Brigadier sighs] ...I'll give you that, though I'd rather like if you could focus on something other than how it's sparkly.
