Week 11, Day 7, Video

[Jack is looking a bit worse for wear. His nose is a little crooked, and he looks exhausted. Not to mention he's a little twitchy.]

I... wanted to apologize for the other day. I... [He runs a hand through his hair and shakes his head.] I wanted to see if I could stop the EVE thing, even if it meant losing my plasmids.

[He looks down at his hands and shakes his head again.]

Well I guess I'm stuck with it. So yeah, sorry about the... crazy. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Oh, my precious Jack...

You are forgiven. [ A soft sigh. ] Is everything all right with Daniel, too?

[...goddammit.]

I'm not sure. I haven't checked up on him yet.

You just wear him out and don't look back on him?

That's cold...

It's taken me this long just to feel mostly normal again. Besides, he's got Pearl.

Oh, yes, I remember now...

Still, his heart is so big and warm. It engulfed you for awhile in its worry.

What happened, Mr. Jack? Stuck with what...?

[Oh... oh no. He sighs.]

Remember the plasmids in Rapture, Madoka?

I remember. Ah, I forgot if I asked whether you used it...

Have for a while. Just found out that I can't stop.

You just found out...? But it's been months since Rapture!

Sometimes we're stuck with something that's a part of us more than we like to admit. At least you tried, that's more than what some people would do.

Speaking of being stuck with things we hate. Need me to punch Yaha for you?

[He lets out a humorless laugh, a cold, bitter sound.]

If I thought that would work I would've done it a long time ago.

Worked for me, though I could just be lucky. Or he could just be more quiet about his stalking now.

I'm pretty sure from me he'd think it was flirting.

[He is so done with Yaha's bullshit but he can't ever get rid of him.]

I was worried about that too. [There's a long, but thoughtful pause.] Still am actually.

Jack?

[He said the name quietly but also with obvious concern, his expression mirror his tone.]

I hate asking if you're going to be alright, because it's an asinine question so instead I'll ask if you have what you need?

[He shrugs and shakes his head, a gesture that looks... more erratic than usual.]

I'll be the same as always, probably. Isaac got me some booze from the bar, but... [He hesitates.] ...I guess I could always use more.

[A pause. He looks down at his hands, still twitching against his will more than he'd like.]

Thanks, Charles.

[Jack looked rough and had Charles not already known from experience how very little he could offer in terms of aid, he would have been making offers now.

As it was ...

As it was, he now understood part of why Jack had expressed an interest in his still. It had just taken him a bit of time to work out the finer details.]

My still was destroyed last week or else I'd offer some of my own making. Baring any unforeseen trips out of town, so to speak, I am hoping to have it back and operational, perhaps by next week.

[His was small, easier to get parts and ingredients for though it would never be any sort of mass production. However, there should be enough for Charles' personal needs and those of a friend.]

That's... fine. That... thank you.

[He runs a hand over his face, rubbing his eyes. He hates this. He hates it so much more now than he did before, now that he knows for certain he absolutely has to live with it.

He made a choice.

Now he's stuck with the consequences forever.]

You're a fucking dumbass.

[He rubs his face with a hand.]

Thanks, Dante.

Someone had to say it, might as well be me. You could've told me, you know. I would've been able to help.

I know. I thought maybe I could keep it from being a big deal. Or something. I don't know.

You did what you could, I'm sure. Can't have been easy. [He knows he can't do much for him; Rick extends his sympathy and hopes it is enough. After all, he had experienced this same terror (quite literally), first hand, several weeks prior.

Not to mention, Rick knows now that his own bloodcurse - this seething, undead disease that runs rampant under his skin - will never leave him here, no matter what he tries to do.]

I had to try.

[It was worth the risk. It was. And now he knows for certain, even if the news is just as bad as he was expecting.]
