Day 407 / Action / Open and closed
Action – closed to Ianto

He's finishing getting dressed and bending to get his boots out of the wardrobe, when the sight of something at the back of the wardrobe, sitting innocuously right behind his boots where he'd swear it wasn't yesterday, gives him pause. A box. A box he had for decades. A box which couldn't possibly be here if this existence wasn't virtual and/or outside of time.

Hardly breathing, he scoops it up and takes it through to Ianto, who's already in the kitchen, getting coffee.

"Hey. Look what I found!"

Action – open

Jack's gift is a box of photographs of past lives and lovers, incredibly precious since it was blown up along with him and the rest of the Hub over a year ago and (in real life, at least) lost forever.

Find him sifting through the photos, or just gazing fondly at one of them, at various points through the day – at the Defence Force HQ, in a restaurant at lunchtime or dinner time, wandering along with a coffee in his hand etc. etc. etc.

((OOC: NSFW content in the thread with Ianto (surprise surprise)! ))

Hmm, you can tell that to Leonard McCoy if he ever comes here. He's the one who did it. He was quick enough to realize they needed to put me on ice to stop any more degeneration, otherwise I doubt even the transfusion could have saved me. As it is, the actual details of my return are a sealed secret within Star Fleet.

Resurrection of the dead wouldn't sit to well with a lot of the species we have relations with. But at least they didn't classify me as a zombie.

_{[ To say the least. Not like he didn't have problems with it on his own. Not that he wasn't grateful to be alive, but there was and still is survivor's guilt. How could there not be? ]}

Must save you a fortune in beauty treatments.

_{[ He recognizes the deflection for what it was, choosing to run with it instead of probe deeper. It seemed inappropriate in such a public setting. ]}

[He chuckled at the zombie comment, and smiled warmly at the description of McCoy.] Sounds like your doctor might be worth his weight in gold! [He of all people understood just how much a doctor like that was worth. Not only in the matter of sorting out the many injuries he himself tended to sustain when he put himself in harm's way and didn't die, but also for saving those he loved so he didn't have to live on without them quite so often.]

And hey, I'm just grateful I'm not ageing at a normal rate. Can you imagine what I'd look like by now? Let alone in a millenium or two!

Oh, he is. He came to me with nothing but his bones, and now he's worth an entire galaxy.

_{[ To Kirk at any rate. His dearest friend aboard the Enterprise and he could say he only shared a deeper relationship with Spock because they had mind-melded. Hard not to feel more intimately attached to someone who had shared a mind-space with, after all. Still, he would give his kingdom for his Bones, make no mistake. ]}

I don't know, I think you'd pull off silver fox just fine.

I'm glad you've got someone like that. [An incline of his head.] Except not here, of course. Though if such things ever become an issue, we do have some pretty talented doctors here with us.

[And then he grinned.] Mmm, for a while, maybe. But old and wrinkly is not such a hot look, and after a few millenia... I'd just be a sack of skin bones!

[...Or a big giant head in a jar, but he doesn't know about that potential future yet.]

Hopefully it doesn't become one. Dying once was more than enough thank you.

_{[ Didn't mean he wouldn't lean far enough forward to take a peck from Death's cheek though. You couldn't live life in space with a fear of such things, after all, and close calls were simply part of the job. ]}

Oh, I'm sure you'd find a way around it. I am sure the future will have more than enough advances to keep you looking both silver and foxy for ages to come.
