!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.

"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?
