20- It's just a clean slate

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack is on the Plane, looking rather lost. He's frowning and scanning the area around him, as if he's never seen this place before. One moment he's there, and the next he drops from the Plane, looking quite startled as he comes back. There's a pause, and then he does it again.

And again. And again.

Finally he settles for staying on the Plane, looking frustrated and running a hand through his hair, catching sight of his wristband as he does. Curiously, he turns his wrist this way and that, examining it. After a moment he starts fiddling with it, pressing buttons here and there. When nothing noticeable seems to happen, he finally let's his arm drop] Now what?

[ooc: So, experiment start! This time, Jack's memory has been completely wiped out, courtesy of the Twins. Yes, I am evil like that. He won't remember anything at all, either from his canon or the Plane, so don't be confused if he gives your character a wtf look. Feel free to bother him as much as you like, but just remember; he'll remember all this once the experiment is over ♥]

[rubs his neck slowly] Because you're my friend.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

......do you love me too, then?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[ffff] Ah, well, we're not... [even if you have NO MEMORIES you can tell how awkward this is] It's complicated.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So you don't then. [You can practically hear the shrug in Jack's voice]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[he makes a face at that] No I do, it's just complicated. [inner thought: "blimey, even with no memories he expects this to be easy."]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[This time, Jack does physically shrug] I don't care if you do or don't.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Then- oh never mind. You should probably stay here for the time being. Going back to Torchwood with no memories won't help.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Why would I want to go back there anyway?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[That's such a good opening for a snarky remark] Your team, for starters. Ianto and Gwen.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Ianto is supposed to be my friend, isn't he?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

He's...your...erm. You're monogamous with him, if that helps. I assume that includes friendship as why you like him.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

But I love you, don't I? And Diva.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Diva, really? [blinks] I suppose I'm not surprised. But, well, you love quite a few people. You're from a time period where love isn't especially limited. You pride yourself on being 'open.'

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[You are contradicting yourself Doctor] Then why am I monogamous with him? And..who else do I love?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[It's your wonky system, Jack] Because you wanted to commit to him because you care, I think. I really don't know. Uhm, well, it'd honestly be easier to make a list of people you don't love. Does this bother you?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[If he had his memories, he would be complaining that it's not wonky] What does?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[It's so wonky] All this information?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Is not, ok?] I'm not sure. Some of it does, but....should it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I don't think the love things should. You've always been rather content to love whom you want to. It's really just the way you are.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

What am I like, exactly?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I...you're, well, arrogant, cocky, flirty, brave, reckless, thickheaded, stubborn, talkative...

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Am I reckless because I can't die?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You were reckless before then. You're rather self-sacrificing. In a good way, usually. Sometimes in an idiot way. Well. They probably balance out, really.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

....ok [Confused!Jack is confused]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Any questions?
