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!]

There are a lot of other things.

[He opens his mouth to protest, then frowns] Why did you become a contractor?

[contract_star]

I'm sure there are.

[Grits his teeth momentarily. He isn't looking at Jack when he says,] Because when South America disappeared, my sister disappeared with it. When I woke up I had her powers.

[And he doesn't say anything to this, because fair's fair and one question is enough]

[contract_star]

[Long, long silence.]

You should avoid people until this has worn off.

[nods] I'll have better luck here than in the Hub; Ianto and Gwen will want to know what happened.

[contract_star]

The Masters are here.

I disgust them; he only deals with me if he's in a mood to hurt or kill.

[contract_star]

[Muttered,] Are they ever not?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Probably, but not always enough to want to deal with me.

[contract_star]

Why?

No--sorry. No more questions. You don't have to answer.

[too late] Because my immortality makes me a living fact, something that shouldn't exist; he's a Time Lord, so he senses it as something wrong.

[contract_star]

...I see. [Hei is actually quite pleased with that little tidbit.]

Sorry. I won't ask anything else.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I appreciate it.
