5th Cut -- [Audio | Cellphone]

[Thankfully, Jack's not in the same state he was last time he connected to the network. No, this time, he's all business, message prefaced by his own Network number in text.]

If there's two or three of you out there who can handle yourself in a dangerous situation, something's come up. Drop me a private line.

[And private message to Casval Mass...]

Hey. You heard about what's going on in the Dead District now?

I can handle myself in a fight. What do you need?

[He's just remembered being a monster, anything else seems like he could deal with it in comparison. And hey, he survived werewolves. That has to count for something.]

Gonna share who you are? I don't want any kids on this.

[And he'll switch to audio, figuring voice will help in the whole "proving he's not a kid" thing.]

Hajime Aikawa. I'm not a child, I can promise you that.

[Now that... Jack remembers the name and voice, from the small group of people he's met in person.]

Guess you made it though the "werewolf" hunt, huh?

[ MY FACE WHEN JACK FINALLY RETURNED MY CALLS

uhhhh I mean

alright just play it cool he's got this it's not like he was worried sick or anything about you NOOOOOOOPE. ]

...I've caught wind of disturbances, yes.

[ He already knows where this is going. He already knows where this is going and does not like it, not one bit, he knows your game Jack he knows you too well now. ]

[It's not as if he'd left Elizabeth's until quite recently, and Jack certainly hadn't seen any need to respond to worried questioning while he was either drinking or bored stiff. Now, though...]

Could really use you along if we're going to get rid of these thugs, Cap.

[Not that it's really been a concern per se for him before. But even Jack recognizes that trying to deal with nearly a dozen guys with unknown abilities is... not necessarily going to be do-able.]

[ ...really, Jack? Really? A flare of irritation enters his tone, and justifiably, in his opinion. ]

Oh, so now you need me, all of a sudden? What about yesterday? Or the day before? Or the day before that? Guess I wasn't so important, then, but now that you need something dead, well, circumstances have changed, haven't they?

[ Yeah. You're in the doghouse now, dude. Might want to start on that apology, before Casval continues ranting en masse. At least he's giving you a chance to explain yourself here.

Not that... he's actually much better, on the drinking and questionable distractions front, but dammit, Jack, he's still mad. And upset.

And a little jealous, ever since he'd found out where you'd been staying, but we're not going into that at the moment. ]

I did warn you.

Nothing changed until recently. What, am I supposed to keep you updated on what movies I was watching while I healed up? I only left Liz's yesterday.

[ Dry as a desert: ]

Yes.

[ And just for the sake of being utterly fucking contrary... ]

If there wasn't at least one instance of Die Hard in there, I'll shoot you instead.

I'd rather watch Armageddon, if we're going to start talking about Bruce Willis movies.

About what?

You're dead to me.

[ Alright. At least he sounds... kind of sorry. Maybe. A little. Whatever. Moving on. ]

What do you want me to do, exactly?

Having backup. Remember?

Don't get me wrong, I know Die Hard is the movie that really made him famous. It's just not... my kind of movie.

Anyway... I was thinking of giving them a surprise when they come back in a few days. I'd feel a lot better about it if I knew you had my back. What do you say?

[Oh, it's you. And part of (though not the only) reason that Jack actually asked for help in the first place instead of going it alone.]

Yeah. Well, I'm listening. Happy now?

Edited 2013-05-13 04:39 (UTC)

[Aww, so sweet. You can't see it, but he's smiling now.]

Elated.

[ Hmmm.

Hmmmmmm.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. ]

I say back to my apartment with your sorry arse.

Then maybe I'll consider it.

Kinda busy right now, Cap.

If I were you I'd hold off on feeling too pleased for a few more days.

Edited 2013-05-13 04:46 (UTC)

Doing what, exactly?

I can live with that.

Again, be careful. We don't know what's out there, although I expect you have a better idea than most.

[Oh god, he just had to ask. Jack comes up with the most convenient excuse.. and it's not 100% untrue.]

Looking for a good place to snipe at them from, with a few good escape routes. I'm not taking any chances.

Yeah. I don't expect it to be easy. Eventually we're gonna run up against guys like the General. And I still don't have any good ideas there, short of an ICBM strike.

Bullshit.

[ Mostly untrue is still untrue, Jack, you liar. Casval is making all the annoyed faces at you right now, you just can't see it. ]

You give me the real reason right now or I'm not giving you the time of day, let alone a "hand".
