21- Never as fun the second time around

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Anyone who happens to wander near the Astral Kitchen will see someone sitting a the table, hunched over and with their head pillowed in between their arms. This someone currently happens to be Jack.

Jack is hungover. This is what happens when you drink half the bar trying to find the kind of liquor you used to drink before your memories were wiped. Unfortunately for him, he's not even sure if he ever found it, thanks to his head feeling like it's being pounded into the ground by someone very very angry and with just as much energy.]

[frowns, striding up quietly]

Jack?

[Raises his head blearily, then lets it fall back on the table] Great. And you are?

[contract_star]

[Slides in very quietly next to him and sets a tall glass of water and two yellowish pills.]

Amazing what science can come up with these days.

[the Doctor leans over the table, propping his elbows up on it.]

Jack.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He knows the voice. At least that means he doesn't have to raise his head] What?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack look up, but just stares at the glass for a moment] Like what?

[ghostlighter]

[Here, Jack! Have someone who has no idea who you even are. :Db]

Uh... You okay?

[contract_star]

[Nods at the pills.] Take those with a full glass of water and the hangover should be gone in about an hour. It's something from my world--our worlds are similar enough that they should work for you.

[he sighs] You're hungover.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

...yeah. [He may sound slightly guilty about this, but that's just your imagination Doctor. Really]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[It's all the same to him, really]

Does it look like I'm doing ok?

[ghostlighter]

It looks like you could just be taking a nap. Why you'd be doing it here is beyond me, but there you have it.

[Glances from Hei down at the pills, then takes them and drains the glass of water]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

...why would you bother someone who was sleeping?

[ghostlighter]

A kitchen counter isn't exactly the most comfortable place to fall asleep.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Do you know me?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[he sighs and sits down across from him] What brought this on?

[ghostlighter]

... No?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So why would you wake up a total stranger?

[ghostlighter]

Because it looked like— You know what? Never mind. Go back to whatever you were doing. See if I care. [e___e]

[wary surprise] The Doctor. [cautious step forward] Just how much have you drunk, precisely?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. [Head? Enjoy your reacquaintance with arms]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

..the other one, right. And I don't. Ask..whatever his name was. He was there.

[ghostlighter]

[Fffft. He orbs away. Enjoy your hangover, Jack.]

[contract_star]

[Lets him drink in silence for awhile.] Is everything alright?
