08- Insanity isn't all it's cracked up to be

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack appears on the Plane, sitting with his knees against his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs, in the same clothes Ianto gave him earlier, though by now they're as much of a mess as he is. Jack hasn't slept in days, and if his insomnia didn't show before, it definitely does now. His eyes seem unfocused, though they keep moving across the Plane, first smoothly in one direction, then abruptly in the opposite direction. At first it looks like his whole body is shaking, but if you look closely you notice that it's mostly just his hands; the bandages on one seem to have been picked at, and there's both fresh and old blood on them, and the other is broken and crudely taken care of.

Jack simply sits there, muttering to himself] Knocking won't stop down in the morgue. They never knocked before, but then I did it and they learned. Ianto and Gwen say they don't hear it, but they do I know they do why do they say they don't? They're just waiting for me to say something, waiting for me to slip up. No more chemicals in the coffee, no more coffee in the chemicals.

[OOC: Ok, so by this point Jack has gone a little too long without sleeping, and it's starting to catch up to him. Currently he suffers from hallucinations (visual and auditory), slurred and/or nonsensical speech , nystagmus (rapid involuntary rhythmic eye movement), and hand tremors.So in other words you've got yourselves a borderline-insane Jack =/ Again, feel free to have your characters interact with him as usual, but know that he's not exactly in the best state of mind]

[She catches his wrist, gentle but firm, keeping one arm around him.] Easy, easy, all right, okay. No being out cold, all right?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He still struggles, but he doesn't push her away] For his best or for my best no more trust but I trust him just as much.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Keeps up a gentle hold on him so he doesn't make his hand any worse than it already is. She rubs his arm.] I know. I know.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You don't know he knows I know nobody else does. He'll hate me because of him he hates me and I love him they won't trust me anymore.

[Tries to get him to relax against her and put his head on her shoulder. He's making even less sense than last time, and she doesn't think she can talk him out of this one.]

[Jack doesn't exactly relax, be he does lean against her, still mumbling to himself] Don't tell him don't make me hate him don't make him love me.

[Rubbing his arm again.] I'm not going to make anyone do anything, all right? I promise. I won't tell anyone anything, I won't go anywhere. Just relax.

Never tell never leave never stay. He'll see him soon enough hear him knocking and then I'll loose them both.

[Her stomach clenches as it clicks.] You... mean your brother.

[He freezes a moment, then goes back to trembling, worse than before] Knocks the loudest heard above the others he's me and I'm him he'll be out soon enough.

[Probably shouldn't have mentioned that, good job Misaki. She holds him a bit closer, murmuring quietly.] What can I do? How can I help?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Make the knocking stop make the figures disappear not just in my had only not in yours.

[Rubbing his arms.] I don't know how, Jack. I'm sorry, I don't know how. Just relax, all right? I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere.
