Day 426 / Video and action / Open (backdated to morning)
Video
[Jack comes on the screen in front of the store previously known as the Plush Rump and now proudly sporting a brand new sign stating Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium.]

So. I took this place over a while ago and I was intending to have a great big grand opening day, but what with one bit of drama and another I haven't got as far with the renovations as I'd like to.

So instead I'd like to invite you to come and help me do the place up! I've found some paint and fabrics and things, but a little extra manpower wouldn't hurt, and I could use some people to help set out the stock as well. Any helpers grateful received!

Action
He'll be at the store all day, working on getting it set up.

"I gotta be honest, I never really thought about that kinda stuff." Still focused on the curtains rather than eye contact but if he's honest that actually helps him think. "Gettin' rejected for who I am scares the livin' shit outta me. So intimacy sounds like a pretty big thing, even if it's just feelings and stuff."

There are some things about himself he's very self-aware of after all. He looked 'em right in the eyes back home and said almost those exact words and it kinda sucks but it feels good in a weird way, too. Knowing what your darkest parts are.

"Getting rejected for who you are is always scary," Jack nods, carefully painting along an edge. "It takes a strong man to be able to feel sure of himself in the face of that, but it seems like in a lot of ways you've already faced that. And if you can find someone who'll like you because of who you are, and will support you in being who you are... that's the best feeling in the world."

"Yeah. Guess that's all you can do, huh?" Frankly he doesn't know if he's ever gonna find someone like that but then again he's still young enough that it's not really a priority. They've all been kind of more focused on the murder investigation than dating back home and maybe things'll change here if the right person shows up but they haven't yet and he ain't gonna worry about it until then.

He gives the drapes a final tug and steps back to admire his work. "Okay, that should do it. I'll come back when you're open. For real. And, uh, thanks."
