[Oh look. He's STILL drunk. Mal had seen his disc. He got to witness himself die at the hands of Niska. He hoped his crew was OK.]

Anybody else slotted to die horrible deaths in their future?

[Healthy Mal. Real healthy.]

Action

[Wander here and stumble there. Mal had thought to go to the stables, but apparently smelling the way he did bothered the horses. He finally ends up on the beach, staring at nothing as he continues to drown himself in whiskey. Fight for those who love him? What does it matter? He's just going to get captured by Niska and tortured to death. The wardens didn't see fit to show him the fact he would actually survive that...

Of course, there's always the chance he can change that future. But it's hard to see at the moment. He'd rather wallow in self pity.]

	Bad Jack! Mal does not need more liquor. cptn_tightpants 2016-01-27 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Mal looked blearily at the other man as Jack sat beside him. Then he focuses on the whiskey and the ghost of a smile graces his lips. He picks it up and takes a long draught. "Yep. At the end of a whole lotta torture." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eh, it's only virtual liquor after all! foreverjack 2016-01-27 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	He grins automatically as Mal looks up at him, but the smile fades as soon as Mal looks down again, to puck up the bottle. The man looks awful. "Ouch. Were you at least a lot older in the vid?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-01-28 04:57 am UTC (link)
	He laughs bitterly. "Nope. I guess I had it comin'. I did doublecross the guy... and kicked his crony through the engine intake of my ship. Just couldn't bring myself to steal medicine from sick people." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-01-28 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah. Yeah, the bad guys do tend to get a bit precious when you doublecross them. You want to watch that." He lifts the bottle from Mal's hand so he can take a drink himself, then slips it back into Mal's hand. "Did the sick people at least get to keep their medicine?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-01-29 01:48 am UTC (link)
	Mal almost protests when Jack takes the bottle, but then it's back in his hands so quickly, he almost wonders if he imagiend Jack taking it. Or perhaps he's drunker than he realized. "Yep. We brought it back... got caught leavin' it actually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-01-29 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	Eh, Jack's just had quite a lot of experience at this sort of thing. He used to hang around with John Hart, after all. "Ah." He nods. "Which led to a fight which ended in you kicking the guy through the engine intake?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-01-31 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	"More that we caught him and tried to give him back the money to Niska. He said no. That's when I kicked him through the engine intake. of my ship." Hands bound an' everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-03 08:16 am UTC (link)
	Jack gives an over-the-top sigh. "These master criminals. Why can't they ever be reasonable about these things? Why does everything always have to be about their bad guy image?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-02-03 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	Mal shrugs. "All I know is he gets me in the future. Guess I shoulda seen that comin'." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-06 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	"One rarely does, in my experience." A faint grin. "Well, until you've died hundreds of times, at least. There are some deaths you can see coming a mile off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-07 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah." He sighs again. So many people here who know if they go back home, they'll die far, far too soon. "On the plus side, at least here you know you're safe. The guy who kills you can't get to you here!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-02-08 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Not unless he shows up. He's a far bigger criminal than I am." Yes. Mal is being extremely pessimistic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-10 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	He inclines his head. "Fair point." He gives a slightly over the top shudder. "Hope none of my nemeses ever turn up here. I could really do without the Master or anyone like that being locked up here with the rest of us!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-02-10 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	"The Master? Sounds like someone has too high an opinion of themselves." He snorts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-14 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	"You could say that. Although to be fair, he does have a way of sort of hypnotising people so they'll follow him, so he has kind of earned the title. "He's another of those torturing types. The kind who does it for fun, far more than for any other reason. Really hope he doesn't show up here!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-02-15 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Mal sets his jaw when Jack mentions torture and takes another swig of the whiskey. "Then we definitely don't need him showin' up here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-20 11:08 am UTC (link)
	"No, we don't." Talking about the Master makes him really want a drink, so once Mal's finished with his swig he swipes the bottle again and takes a swig of his own. "On the plus side, at the moment it seems like we've finally got rid of all the troublesome characters here. "Though of course, now I've said that, we'll probably get some new ones turning up..."

	"Have we now? So what.. are you all a bunch of heroes?" Note he doesn't include himself in that assessment. He watches the alcohol leave his hand again and frowns. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Not sure I'd go as far as that, but a certainly a high proportion of us seem to fall into the 'save the world' type category," he replies, studying Mal surreptiously. He doesn't know the man well enough to know if he fits into the 'hero' category, but he's fairly certain he's a good man.

He hands the bottle back with a gentle smile. "At the very least, most of the people we have left seem to be the types to help people rather than want to kill or torture them."

Mal's more of the get ahead in life category. But when it comes down to it, he'll more than likely save people. Look at Simon and River. But he has no problem killing those that deserve it. And his definition of deservin' tends to be more liberal than most.

"Suppose that's somethin'. Wouldn't mind a bit more seediness though. Feel a little closer to home than dealing with the big damn hero type."

	foreverjack 2016-02-24 09:25 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, exactly. You don't have to set out to be a hero to be one of the people who protects those who need protecting. He chuckles at Mal's comment. "All a bit too clean and above-board for you here, is it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Back home I'm a smuggler. Spend all my time out on the rim an' keeping one step ahead of law enforcement. An' she's an old ship." Be happy Jack. He doesn't admit smuggling to just anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's probably easier because Jack's not the sort of person to judge someone on something like that - or anything, really (except possibly closedmindedness).

"A smuggler with a conscience, though," he grins, referring back to the not being able to live with taking medication from those who needed it. He quirks an eyebrow. "Perhaps even the hint of a latter-day Robin Hood?"

	"A smuggler who gets that the even those who supported Unification can still get fucked by it." Too drunk to get the reference though he does know it usually... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
