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!]

'Mostly' doesn't actually mean harmless. You alright?

((I thought you said guilt free! D: Don't remind me of the time!))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Well it should. I'm having a little trouble breathing but that's probably the effect of inhailing a gas other than oxygen. [Frowns, because he'd only meant to say 'I'm fine']

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I take it you didn't put that gas mask to use, then.

((...fine. I'll try not to feel guilty for keeping you up.))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I had it on when I opened the container; there wasn't any gas until I took it off.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Notices the gas mask, and finds it amusing] Are you my mummy?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Right. So there was only gas when you took the mask off? [Ianto does not believe you, Jack.]

((Well, you should be!))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

No, I took off the mask while there was still gas around. [Definitely looking non-happy now]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[smiles, opening his mouth to mimick the action, instead blurting out] No I'm not.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...what'd you do that for? [Definitely a little surprised he admitted that.]

((...I don't know whether to love you or kick you for being an idiot.))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Because I was curious to see what it did. Ianto, stop asking questions.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You don't usually mind that much.

((Only if you go to sleep later.))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Because my answers are usually what I'm actually trying to say.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...looks like you've found out what it does, then. At least your answers haven't been that bad so far.

((Good. >\))

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[makes an annoyed] It's not painful, at least.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Have you opened something that's caused you pain before?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

A couple of years ago a small container broke while I was taking it down to the medical bay; the gas contained a chemical that literaly burned your neurons if
you inhaled even a wisp. No more questions.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

If you were this open normally I wouldn't have to ask.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Theres a reason I'm not normally like this, you know.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Because you think you have to hide everything?

[contract_star]

Jack? What was that?

[ooc: IT IS TEN THIRTY. I hope you at least got some sleep...>|]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

The less you know know the better.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Me specifically?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

A gas that leaked out of a container I found in the archives. [ok, a bit more specific response than he meant]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Not you specifically, but everybody. [Glaring at you now, Ianto]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Are some things specific to me? [Sorry, Jack. He can't help himself.]
