250 - Fear Itself Mingle
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

	[Jack's eyebrows lift higher.] What makes you think people didn't take my side, Spike? I had half the DF raring to go after you after that little conversation we had the other day. I'm sure they'd love to know there was something that scared you that much. What was it, Spike? What did you see? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I talk to people too, you know. Defense Force members. They didn't seem too concerned. [ Namely Garcia, the sweet and all too gullible. Of course, that light mocking tone in his voice sours all too quickly when Jack turns the subject back to more recent events. ]

None of your bloody business what I saw... which was nothing, anyway. [ It wasn't what he saw, it was what he felt. ]

[Jack’s talked to Garcia too, so he has some idea who Spike’s referring to here. He isn’t happy about it, but he can’t see what he can do to change her opinion, short of having Spike attack her, which… no.

He shrugs.]

Well, maybe they’re right not to be concerned. God knows, I’d love to feel you weren’t a danger to people here, Spike, but the evidence stands to the contrary, doesn’t it?

[Face grim as he thinks of Ianto, there.

He takes a breath.]

Anyway, if you’re all recovered from your scare, I think I’ll be moving on. Gotta try and keep people safe with all these savage animals out here, you know.

	[ He gives a dismissive wave of that hand, already occupying himself with digging out a pack of cigarettes. ] Go do your big damn hero thing. Get eaten by a lizard, for all I care. Shoo! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Jack gives him a wry look as he pries himself off the wall.] Even that wouldn’t get rid of me, you know. I’ll just keep on coming back. [But he feels safe enough, knowing Ianto's safe at home, to leave Spike for now. There really are more pressing things to attend to. So he just inclines his head to Spike and turns away.] Have fun with that fear thing! (Reply to this) (Parent)
