Namesake (Open to all Jacks)

One big glorious fancy room, filled with flowers and sparkling chandeliers. A big buffet table filled with so much food it looked as if the table would crack, spilling everything everywhere. The long bar ran the entirety of one wall, and looked as if it had pretty much everything anybody could possibly ever want set up against a mirror.

It was clear that the City expected a fairly big turn out.

All the tables had note cards on them, and each note card sat in front of a chair. Each had writing scrawled on it, but only one word "Jack". No designation of which Jack should sit where.

The invites were only sent to Jacks. Only Jacks will be permitted inside. No dates. Don't worry about posting orders here. And yes, the address info is on the back. And the grammar on the invite is horrible on purpose.

You may do "receiving invite" posts and then come back to this if you like.

Jack Sparrow took the card offered to him and his nose twitched. Actor, singer, dancer?

What?

"What?"

He looked to his other friend Jack with a raised brow and then a fourth man approached with a glass. Jack sniffed. Rum. He smiled.

"Tha's interesting," he said, more in response to Jack Napier's words than anything else. They could be the deck of cards, the pirate reasoned. Four Jacks.

	Jack took out his lighter and offered it for the other man's cigar. He smiled at the other man and nodded. "Yes, yes I am. Captain Jack Harkness. And you are?" He took up his glass again and took a drink, noticing yet another approaching the two of them.. "I'm noticing more and more interesting things around her all the time."

There was a joke that Jack McFarland was missing. A joke over the fact that there were now four Jacks, all of them of different persuasions and probably occupations as well, which meant that this was an event for Jacks of All Trades. However, Jack was not bright enough to make such a connection and just stared blankly.

Four Jacks, including himself. There were four of them and in his world, that was three too many. How was he ever suppose to get his name and trade out there properly if people would confuse his name in this city with the name of other Jacks.

Though, maybe one or more of them were entertaining and fun to have around. Like his neighbor Spike... Spank.. or something like that, was.

The title of 'Captain' caught his ears though. That was interesting, very very interesting. "Captain? What are you Captain of?" Jack really hoped it was of a swanky yacht, that Karen had hired this attractive gentleman to Captain their own yacht and that said yacht would be full of young men questioning their sexuality.

"Oh?" Jack puffed away on his cigar and turned between the two captains. "Well, Captain Jack Harkness, let me introduce you to Captain Jack Sparrow. And that's Jack SomethingFarfetched over there, and I sir, am Jack Napier." He bowed a little bit.

A room full of Jacks, it was completely delightful.

"I'd say talk amongst yourselves, but I'm one of yourselves, so please feel free to talk to me."

He was in one of his better moods, that was for sure. He eyed the more frail of the Jacks before him and studied the lad. There was something queer about that one.

Another Captain Jack?

Jack was suddenly very depressed.

"I feel... unusual about awl this," he said to himself. Jack swallowed, and without another word walked away, returning with his own glass of rum. JUST rum. Straight. Nothing to cut it. Jack held the glass in his right hand and took a long sip, then sort of waved it around as he spoke.

"Captain Harkness," Jack began, "what manner of vessel is it that you find yourself the captain of?"

Jack grinned slowly. "What have you got? Currently Royal Air Force or Time Agent, but I'm open to all sorts of new things, especially since I got here." He took another drink from his glass as he looked around at the other Jacks. "Captain Jack?" he said questioningly as he looked at the very definite pirate. "Nice. And Mr. Napier, very good to meet you."

This was far too entertaining. Jack couldn't remember ever being in a room with this many Jacks and another captain that.

"I haven't been the captain of a vessel in many years sadly. But a new ship could always be on the horizon. What about you Captain Sparrow? What manner of ship do you have?"

	Jack pursed his lips nonsensically, then broke into a grin. "The only manner of ship, mate. She's a pirate ship." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack looked at him and them grinned back just as wide. "Seriously? Well damn, Sir. I'm not sure there IS anything that can beat an authentic glorious pirate ship." Jack Harkness was impressed, and maybe... MAYbe just a bit in awe too. "Have you been her captain a great deal of time?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jack was being ignored. At least, he felt like he was being ignored. There was talking amongst the other Jacks and not about him. They were talking about each other, what they did and for some reason, that didn't include Jack McFarland. Mostly because Jack didn't have a ship and he didn't quite understand what they were talking about. When he didn't understand, the best thing to do was to pretend that the conversation didn't involve something he didn't care about and move it forward.

"So, who wants to get me a drink with a little umbrella in it?"

"A little umbrella, you say?" Jack grinned. It wasn't particularly a pretty thing. He thought that maybe he'd get a drink and put a full sized umbrella in it, but then realized he had no idea where to get something like that right now.

"Well, I'll get you one."

He motioned to one of the waiters, and told him the order and shooed the guy away again.

"So Jack. You're not a captain, and I'm not a captain. Tell me, do you have an Asylum? Cause I do. Pretty little place."

This was the moment when things got weird. Well, not really, Jack had considered it a bit odd to have a party with just gentlemen named Jack in attendance. That was strange, how were you ever suppose to stand out in a crowd when the entirety of the crowd was made up of Jacks?

Two of the Jacks were pirates... or at least they had ships and one was a pirate. Strange things, piracy. Jack McFarland didn't think it existed anymore outside of stories. So that was weird also.

But being asked if he had an asylum by a man who apparently had an asylum. That was the weirdest thing of all in the list of strange things happening that evening. Enough so that for a moment, Jack wanted to run screaming out of the entire party. Except that he had a drink coming and there was food and the pirate was kind of easy on the eyes.

"Um. No, no asylum 'cuz I'm not crazy."

	"Aw. You don't have to be crazy to own an asylum." Jack grinned. A very big grin. "You can come see mine someday if you want." He wiggled his eyebrows. "Do you want?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
