[Have one Jack Harkness, looking rather grim and very unlike the lighthearted flirt most of you will have come to know him as. This is the former leader of Torchwood, the people's protector.]

Something's happened to Spike. I think he may pose a danger to the people here. He attacked me a while back but I didn't think anything of it until a couple of days ago when he told me he killed someone else, too – someone who may or may not have got up again like I did.

[A beat] I think we need to be prepared to try and contain him, if necessary.

	I know, I didn't believe it at first either, but... [The grim look eases a little, into a relatively reassuring smile.] I am fine. It wasn't even all that bad, really. It's other people I'm worried about! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doesn't that sound familiar. You heroic types need to let a gal fret over you sometimes! [She is relieved, but still not thrilled with this info.] So, like... what happened? Is that too intrusive? I'm just trying to figure things out, here, since I consider him a friend and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He grimaces.] I’m trying to figure it out too. We’d had some fun before, a little banter, a bit of a knockabout, a few threats exchanged, but only in fun. Something’s changed, now. The night he killed me? It started out as banter – I’d hurt my hand and it was bleeding, so it was an obvious thing for him to go after, but this time he really wasn’t going to take no for an answer. I… assumed he only went all the way and killed me because he knew I’d come back, but then he told me he’d killed someone else too and they didn’t come back.

[Yeah, she's having trouble with "threats exchanged = fun". But well... maybe it's a testosterone thing.]</small> Geez. I mean, I'm not really okay with you getting killed no matter how many times you'll come back -- on the other hand, this place is weird sometimes, right? Maybe something effected his hunger or something?

Not that I'm like some vampire expert or anything, but from what I know that COULD happen...? [Wishful thinking, perhaps. No... definitely.]

[It’s definitely a testosterone thing.]

I am absolutely fine with getting killed if it means that people who won’t get up again don’t get bitten. It’s just when that doesn’t work that it’s a problem.

[Like now. He gives her a vaguely hopeful look at her suggestion, though.]

You know, I guess that could be the case, yeah. This place is kind of crazy that way. [He shrugs.] I guess I’ll give it a few days, see what happens. If I don’t hear of any more attacks… perhaps I’m just worrying over nothing!

	That's very martyr-y and heroic of you and all, but there are those of us that worry about you even though you're indestructible, you know. [The tenderest scolding ever.] I hope so. I mean, I really like the guy. He'd fun and I haven't felt like I'm in danger with him at all. Until now, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Gently] Hey, it hurts me a hell of a lot more when the people I care about get hurt. So... you know. Be careful around him, eh? Just in case? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. Same for me, you know! Not that I'm a fan of me getting hurt either, I assure you. But, you know. Maybe you can come back to life but that doesn't mean I'm cool with you dying. That's the price you pay for being wonderful, Mister.

[As for Spike...] I really don't think he'd do anything to me. I don't know why, but I don't. But I'll try and keep my eyes peeled... I just don't want to be, like, pretending to be okay with him when I'm not. That's not what buds do.

	[Jack actually blushes faintly at being called wonderful. He doesn’t feel like he’s done anything since he’s been here that makes him worthy of that. He doesn’t protest it, though, just moves on past it with a smile.] You may be right and he won’t hurt you. Let’s hope so! But probably safer to just try and stay out of his way, eh?
