It was not a very bad feeling. Dying. He felt kind of peaceful and there was no more happy bounce to his step when he walked across the street to the weird little building that looked to him like a post office from some past era. He was not at all sure how he knew that it was near the end for him but he did. He was clutching his leatherbound journal and feeling sort of drunkish even though he had not had a drop to drink. Not ever in his own life. In fact, he had not eaten or done anything but make people feel very scared or mad. That was not what he had wanted to do at all!

No one had wanted to see his big secret surprise either! That was the unfairest thing of all and that was why he started to feel sad again. Until he opened the journal and there was Ianto being so very sweet the way Ianto was when he wanted to be. Even if almost Jack was not the REAL Jack, Ianto acted kind of like he would take care of him anyway. Maybe if he had been able to stick around longer they could have been friends.

Oh well. That would not happen now. He stumbled to a seat against the post office door and sprawled out his legs. He did not care that it was cold underneath his bottom. He felt tired and sort of maybe giggly? That made him want to sing. So why not?

Without much fanfare and very much giggliness and sadness and drunkish feelings all through him, not Jack began to croon as loud as he could.

"Now it's time to say goodbye to all our company - hiccup - J-A-C... see you in the afterlife... K-H-A... eh? is that the light? R-K-N-E-S-Sssss - hiccup!"

GLaDOS' expression fell a bit as Jack said he had never had cake. That made her disappointed. How could someone never have had cake? It did not make sense for this place to deprive people of such a basic necessity. "Cake is more important than coffee," GLaDOS pronounced and so it was.

"You do not appear to be carrying anything of significant size to warrant calling it big."

GLaDOS blinked as he continued to flail a bit there. It was a strange sight to her - usually, in her experience, when people died they simply did so very quickly and very quietly. Well, aside from the ones who fell into the acid. She put up helpful signs to remind people of the penalties of falling into the acid. Some did it anyway.

"I am curious as to what your surprise might be." She said plainly, the cant of her head giving away the true level of her curiousity.

"Is it more important than coffee? Maybe you are right!" Almost Jack looked critically at the woman. At least he thought he looked critical but his might have been crossed. His elbows flapped and his emotions were rollercoastering more than they had all day long. Not fun at all but it made him very very happy!

"It is big, believe me. It's very big and very secret because only I have it in the entire world." He took a shaky, swimmy breath and swayed his head from side to side in time to a song inside his head. It sounded like it was all around him which was scary in a very exciting way. Maybe this was a birthday party! He hoped so! Maybe there would even be cake and s'mores!

"I can show it to you right now!" Oh yay thank the gods above. Someone finally wanted to see his big secret surprise. Not Jack sat forward and reached into the back of his long coat as best he could because his fingers were doing marching puppet dances with no puppets attached. His knees felt very ticklish and they were bouncing a little too. This was fun but it made him very sad.

It took him some time to pull out the secret surprise. It was very big. Almost as big as he was and flat, rather sort of crinkled from being tucked into the back of his pants all day, and shiny. He held it up for her to see with a very proud expression on his face. "See? Isn't it fantastic?"

In the semi-darkness of midnight it was not hard for anyone to see that he had the world's largest autographed photograph of Britney Spears' 2035 Reunion Tour: Oops I Shaved It Again! (Bald is beautiful).

"I have never had coffee, but in my experience subjects tend to get very excited for cake."

GLaDOS' head tilted in the other direction. There were few things that could be large enough so as to remain undetected on this person's figure. If this person was speaking metaphorically, it was lost on GLaDOS.

GLaDOS watched as the paper was taken from behind the figured back and brought out into the open air. GLaDOS, unfortunately, was unfamiliar with what precisely the picture was or what it was for. Furthermore, she was totally left in the dark as to why in the world a woman would shave her head. Additionally, what was the purpose of being nearly naked? Wasn't she cold?

"What is the purpose of this large photograh?" GLaDOS inquired. For this subject to be so excited for it and to carry it around and denote it as a surprise, it must have some greater purpose and she wanted to know what precisely that was.
