Day 281 [Video|Closed][Action|Open]
[Video | Jack Harkness]
Hey, everything go okay after I left like a slacker?

[Video | Spencer Reid]
[She hadn't told him too much last night. She got hurt. It was nothing the hospital couldn't take care of and things were going smoothly otherwise and all she really wanted to do was sleep. All true really. Especially the sleep part, but there was still a lot more to say.] I'm checking out early.

[Video | Spike]
[There's a delay after starting the feed.] Hey. [Yeah, that about sums it up.]

[Video | Ton]
Might be needing a favor or two.

[Action | Open]
[Everyone was greeted with Kitty getting charged with both assault and injury this morning ~~even though you didn't see it on the daypost because reasons but it totally happened, okay?~~ She spent the night in the hospital. They patched her up, replaced some of the lost blood and gave her cheetah-like spotting. Okay, maybe not them, but something did. There's also a tail. She doesn't want to talk about the tail. She pulls her blooded and tattered tank top back on and leaves the hospital.]

	[He purses his lips. That's a hard one to refute.] Well, that's true, in some respects. I mean, our whole relationship has mostly been based on sparring with each other, either verbally or physically. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Honesty good. Still not loving these details though.]

Why didn't you tell me more about that before we took this course? [She doesn't believe it would have changed things in the end. He made his call to bring innocent people into it, but she feels like she should have known. Should have handled more of the contact if Jack was escalating things. After all, this wasn't just between two guys posturing. This was the whole force. The whole dome.]

	I didn't think it was relevant. [Or, frankly, any of her business.] It's beside the point, anyway. I wasn't playing the night he attacked me, and that's what started everything off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She looks thoughtful, nodding after a moment. How often had she pushed someone in fun? She knew the difference between getting a little rough and something that crosses the line. She'd expect Jack to know the same.] Do you know why he did? Attack you that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He grimaces.] I went out for a walk in the park after dark and took a tumble over a tree root or something. Gashed my hand rather badly and it wouldn't stop bleeding, and Spike just happened to be around to smell it.

[At least, he's always assumed Spike just happened to be around. He didn't seem to be stalking him at that point.]

So he started to tease me about it but I really wasn't in the mood. I mean, yeah, once upon a time I'd been intrigued by the idea of how hot it might be to get bitten, but that was before Ianto and I got blue-banded. [And before he'd got bitten by Rebekah in retribution for trying to conceal his relationship with Ianto from her] I tried to tell him to shove off but he wasn't having any of it and it actually got a little unsettling. He was out for blood - literally - and in the end he just went for it. Vamped out and knocked me down and - after a bit more taunting - bit me.

Do you think he meant to kill you? [It didn't matter much. Especially now, but she's curious. And she's feeling guilty for not asking these questions on the front side. She was used to needing to act faster at home and trusting her teammates completely. But this isn't home and these aren't X-Men. They are still learning how to function together and she's still learning to lead them.]

	foreverjack 2014-08-19 10:52 am UTC (link)
	Oh, absolutely. There was no hesitation, once he got down to it. And he knew I'd come back, so I guess there was no reason not to kill me. [He shrugs.] At that point, I kind of hoped it would satisfy him and stop him going for anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-08-21 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	Well, sure, when you put it that way I hardly know how I resist. Why did he go after Ianto? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-08-22 10:32 am UTC (link)
	[He gives her a dry look at the quip, but lets it go, shrugging.] I assume he felt I wasn't taking him seriously enough. As far as I'm aware, he didn't actually know I'd already alerted the Defence Force, but he was obviously worried that I might. [...Which, yes, was his own fault for threatening Spike with the DF, as Kitty had pointed out at the time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Another nod.]

Well, he has a soul now. Hopefully this changes things for the better for everyone. Him too when he...gets used to it. [She doesn't think it's that easy but she knows he's had one before...or later. Time is a strange thing here.]

But we need to talk more in the future when, if things like this happen again. [She feels like she should have been more prepared for the allegations she was hearing if nothing else.]

I think we need to do a lot of work with the Defence Force in general. Training, team-building, communication - everything. Hell, even just getting to know each other! We've got people who don't even know the other members are - and I'll admit, I really don't even know some of my new team very well, let alone some of yours. We really need to do something about that.

[And yes, he is deliberately ignoring that her comment about talking more is very much aimed at him. He still hasn't quite accepted that it's a valid comment.]

[She'll allow that for now. The point is still a good one that the whole team has a lot to work on to be more of a team.]

Agreed. It's not exactly like teams I've been on before. [Where they only had each other and they were in close quarters. There was really no choice but to know each other well. Too well in some cases.] It's better than it was. [Early on felt even more disjointed at least to her.] It has a long way to go.

[He surprises himself slightly by actually mostly agreeing with her.]

Yeah, me either. It's a lot more people than I'm used to handling, and - well. Before, it's always been people I've hand-picked myself. People I chose to be in my team, so I already knew them.

[Hence why he still tends to think of his team here as being people like Ianto and Martha and Zatanna - the people he knows he can call on and trust.

He's silent for a moment, working through this thought, which has been brought up several times recently by various different people. Perhaps it really is time to actually address it.]

You got any ideas for how we can make the team feel more like a team?

	I had a conversation with Data about that. I guess there are training exercises that help where he's from. We've been working on developing something that might work for us. We don't have access to everything his world did. Where I'm from you keep each other alive and that usually goes a long way toward making you feel like a team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-09-01 10:01 am UTC (link)
	[His mouth twists wryly.] Yeah, that's more the kind of thing I'm used to, too. Well, I'm happy to hear what Data can come up with! I have to admit, I don't feel many of my own kind of team building exercises would be very appropriate, given the - uh - relative youth of many of our members! [With a grin to show he's joking. Well, mostly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-01 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure I'm old enough to be hearing this. [She is actually pretty young, but this much is a joke at least. There's even a smile coming with it.] And somehow I think Reid would frown upon it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That gets her a smirk, and a wicked twinkle in his eye.] I'm pretty sure he would, yeah!

[Then he shrugs.] Of course, a lot of that stuff is out of the window anyway, given the wardens' attitudes to trying to control anything remotely intimate between inmates. [A beat, as he realises it's actually been quite a while since he last complained about that.]

Still, I'm sure Data's ideas will be more appropriate - and useful, in the circumstances. I'll look forward to hearing more about that, then!

They are big on that. Not exactly free love types. You would have really hated the way the prison worked at the beginning.

[But she nods.] We'll work with Data getting a program together. I'll let him know it needs to be sooner than later. [All three of them on the same page would be good. It's getting less and less strange for her that Data is in what was Reid's role before he left.]

	[His eyebrows go up.] How did the prison work at the beginning? [Because that sounds like she's talking about something worse, and he's not sure he can imagine that!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You couldn't have sex with anyone ever. I mean, you could, but you'd be breaking their rule and they'd make sure it was your last time. No licenses at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-09-14 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Seriously? No sex at all? [He whistles through his teeth.] There must have been some seriously frustrated people walking around! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-21 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	It was only a few months, Jack. [Says the girl who broke the rule.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A few months??? [See the absolute horror on the 51st century man's face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-29 03:03 am UTC (link)
	That is quite a reaction for an immortal, Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-09-29 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives her a bit of a Look.] When you're immortal, you have to live each day for itself. And a few months is a lot of days without sex. Thank goodness they loosened up a bit before I got here, even if they are still completely tight-assed about it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
