!dropped, day 08, ianto jones, jack harkness, logan, open, the doctor (ten)

WHO: Jack Harkness, Logan, Ianto Jones, OTA
WHAT: ~~Jack's ego~~ the Death-Off
WHERE: clocktower
WHEN: Day 8, noon
RATING: High, knowing the mouths in here.
STATUS: Active

First of all, challenging Logan to something like this was completely out of character for Jack. He tried to avoid death at all costs, knowing just how it felt to be dragged over the coals and brought back to life each time. But knowing that Logan couldn't die (or so the man believed) and Jack's utter frustration with the neanderthal, he couldn't help himself.

Well, that and caffeine withdrawl might have had something to do with it. More than something to do with it. Who'd have thought he'd still be suffering with Ianto around? These damned PTB. Was it too much to ask for to get a decent (by his standards) cupof coffee? Not to mention these damned clones running about. Blatantly asking for sex? Jack shuddered, passing the movement off as shivering from the cold. Worst part was... if it was a complete clone, did it carry the same 'side-effect' he had?

God, what if he was stuck with the imbicile for good?

Consequently, Jack knew this was stupid, but he couldn't back down. Besides, it was the best way to provide some entertainment coupled with the 'least' harmful way to take out his aggressions. If anyone was to deal with the Weevils, it was him. Not some arse with a murder complex who couldn't understand that humans weren't always at the top of the food chain.

Standing in front of the clock tower at five minutes to noon, Jack crossed his arms. And waited.

The Doctor had managed to walk fairly quickly from the Carnival to the clocktower. He'd been watching his journals and the ridiculousness of Jack and Logan. This was wrong and pointless and they all had much, much better things to be doing with their time.

Coming up the path with his hands in his pockets the Doctor surveyed the scene - three men and two seemingly brimming with testosterone. He knew why Jack was; though, what was up with Logan remained to be seen.

Taking up a spot leaning against a nearby tree the Doctor removed an apple from his pocket and proceeded to have lunch. If they were going to act foolish, it's not like his logic was going to stop them - he'd just have to be there to pick up the pieces. He was, however curious as to how a winner would be decided; if in fact neither of them could die.

Part of Jack wondered if Logan even was going to show up in general. Yes, he would have been disappointed,but Jack knew it would save himself the tongue lashing he knew he'd be getting from Ianto. Which was the main reason why Jack refused to glance at the man standing by his side. But there was no turning back now that Logan was here, was there?

"Logan," Jack said, nodding curtly. He kept in mind what Shannon had said about claws, though saw nothing at the present. Well, that would add a bit of fun wouldn't it? Jack would just have to rely on his own skills when doing... whatever they'd do.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jack saw the Doctor approach. He drew in a breath, half expecting the man to come and stop him, but at the same time -- the Doctor knew Jack's feelings on the Weevils and those who were killing them outright. He made sure to catch the Doctor's eye, gave him a curt nod then looked back at Logan.

"Could do it any number of ways. Most creative deaths we ever had or just an out spar-match..." Jack shrugged. "I'm open to suggestions."

	"Doc." Logan greeted the Doctor, then glanced over at the other guy. "Haven't met you yet." He shrugged. Privately, he was pretty convinced he had dibs on 'most fucked up ways someone tried to kill me'. "Well, like I said, I ain't gonna try to kill you, but anything other than that's fine by me."

"Ianto Jones," he replied to the sort of greeting and nodded a tiny bit. Ianto's arms crossed over his chest and he glanced back and forth between the two would be combatants, brow furrowed.

"If it's all the same to the both of you, I'd rather you just relate the odd ways you've died instead of actually beating the stuffing out of one another. The whole point of this place seems to be divide and conquer and I'd rather not help them along any, if you don't mind."

The look from Jack was caught, curt nod and all. If the Doctor ever had a cryptic expression he was not using it now. Instead, Jack encountered a rather stern faced man who's look said quite plainly 'bad idea.'

The Doctor nodded to Logan; and while he didn't quite want to admit that he thought Logan a bit more of a barbarian than Jack - it did suprise him that he would have come out for something like this. Really, who does this?

Keeping his distance he continued to chew on his apple hoping it would become a battle of words rather than physical one-up-manship.

Jack couldn't give the Doctor a sheepish expression, it would have completely ruined the mood he was trying to create. Instead, the Doctor's look was met with an even expression, followed by a curt nod.

"And here I thought you wanted to referee," Jack's face broke into a grin for the first time as he glanced at Ianto. The expression melted and turned serious once more as Ianto looked back at Logan. "Hell, they're probably laughing at the simple thought of this." Jack shrugged, hands stuffed into his trouser pockets, pushing the edge of his coat back. "What to start with? The usual deaths are so... usual. Strangest death. Though at the same time, suppose it's always possible one could make something up, isn't it? Question comes in proving it happened."

Logan shrugged. "I can tell when people are lying, so I'll know if you're bullshitting me. Problem comes with you believing mine ... though I have one I can prove. Might make you more inclined to believe the others."

The Doc and Ianto weren't the only ones that thought this was funny. Logan did too. But oh well.

"Might as well start. A while back I got nabbed by some nasty types on my world that wanted to create a living superweapon. Among other shit they did, they split me open and coated my bones with metal ... and gave me metal claws to go with." And he popped a claw.

"I am refereeing, I've just got no interest in watch you die. Or him, for that matter." Ianto lifted a hand and gestured towards Logan. Really, he had no interest in watching anyone die, even if it didn't stick.

...oh. Oh. The claw was .. interesting. And sort of weird. Probably very useful, too. Seeing it pop out sent Ianto's eyebrows into his hairline and he glanced back at Jack. Your turn, then, Captain?
