10- Don't plan for the inconveniences

[Jack appears on the Plane in nothing but a towel. He looks as if he's just stepped out of the shower; hair mussed and wet, water droplets clinging to skin as he drips down on the Plane, forming a small puddle. He also looks very, very annoyed] Of all the times for the generators to fail and the Hub to go into lock-down...

[Unhappy!Jack is unhappy and muttering. And naked except for the towel wrapped around his waist]

And even if you weren't, what's the problem?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I-it's indecent...!

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Why?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Because... it is! [>/////<]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You're human. This is what humans look like without all those layers of fabric. It's a fact that everyone's aware of, but you still consider almost any degree of exposure taboo.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Ah... that's..! [kind of flustered by that dlkfn]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[sighs, rubbing the back of his head]It'll right itself out, just give it a few more centuries.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Centuries...?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Not as many as you'd think; human kind tends to learn pretty quickly.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Ah... What year is it where you come from? [interested! looks over for a second, but OH YEAH; turns away again dlkfns]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

2008. [This is progress, at least]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Really? [blink] It's 2007 for me... How do you know that?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Because I've seen what happens much, much later.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[again with the almost-looking!] ... time travel?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[nods, then remembers the almost-looking] Yeah.

[it's actually kind of weird to talk to someone from a time further than he is, considering that the future literally doesn't exist in his world... at least, not in the regular way, and so he's curious] How far?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[smiles] End of the universe far.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[looks over] R-really? [... dfknsdklfn looks away again >///<]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You know you don't have to keep standing here if you're just going to keep looking away, right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

But then where else would I stand..?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

There are other parts of the Plane.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but... You said you've been to the end of the universe. [curiosity beats out embarrassment, apparently]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[it usually does] End of the universe for my reality, at least.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

What was it like..?
