13- The product of experiments gone wrong

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[A cloud of thick, green smoke appears on the Plane, dissipating almost as suddenly as it appeared. In the middle of it is Jack, his shirt unbuttoned and it's sleeves pushed up to his elbows, a gas mask in one hand. He's coughing slightly, holding a hand over his mouth as he does so] That is the last time I open a container labeled 'Mostly Harmless'

[ooc: This is an idea that can easily be attributed to my current lack of proper sleep, but it's four am and it makes sense now. The gas that surrounded Jack is basically alien truth serum, but in gas form. It won't affect any of the other people on the Plane, but it will make Jack answer any question asked truthfully, not answering lacking as an option.

Have fun!]

That wasn't too smart. Have you got any clue what it did, then? Besides the special effects, I mean.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Don't know except that I'm answering every question without meaning to.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Really? That's a bit weird. I've got a shot to make people do that, back at my Torchwood.

...why's your shirt undone?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Yes, really. We have those too, though we don't use them to often.

[Wants to say 'No reason',but instead blurts out] Because I rather wear it this way, when no one else is in the Hub.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Neither do we. We've got an antidote, too. Nasty stuff, though. Big needle. It's always fun to scare people with.

[...snrk] Not too surprising. Still, though. I never turn down an opportunity to see you shirtless, even if it's just partial.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

This isn't the same stuff Torchwood uses, so I doubt the antidote would have much effect.

I'm glad someone's enjoying this, at least. [his lips are twitching up though, despite himself]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Probably not, though. It'd still be fun to give you a shot, though.

You're not?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to try.

I think it's unfair that I have to answer everything and you just get to ask questions.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Nah, I don't think I will. I'm enjoying this.

Poor you. [Pets] Anything I can do?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So I've noticed.

[asdhjk no petting! Glares, but doesn't really seem to mean it] Don't ask questions I wouldn't want to answer if I had the choice.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Keeps on petting, because he's cute with messy hair, and she likes petting him] Oh, that'll be hard. It's always fun, asking questions like that. Especially the ones that are embarrassing. Have you ever worn woman's underwear?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Gives her a look, but doesn't move away; he secretly does like the petting. He almost visibly relaxes when she asks that, because he expected something he would actually not want to answer] On more than one occasion.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[She might ask him about that. And she's not that mean.] D'you think it's more comfortable than men's?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[This is good news for Jack] I like boxers better but I think no underwear at all is the most comfortable.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

...are you wearing some right now?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[actually grins] Nope.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That's not surprising at all, really. Any reason why?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I just felt like doing it, actually.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That's as good a reason as any. I'm really surprised that you're not walking around naked, though.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I can get away with no underwear; I'll get yelled at again if I go around naked.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You'd only get yelled at if you get caught.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

What are the chances I wouldn't?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Depends on where you are.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

CCTV in the Hub.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Cover the cameras.
