Appointments Post

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Melaka anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:

[...Wait what her and the Cap?

...Okay no don't be shocked]

I already talked with 'em about that.

He still tried. And it was the stupidest of stupid moves.

Y'think? [Lightly.]

Oh, I think. And I told him so. Loudly.

Yeah... well, I think even if you're telling me he's good, I don't think I'm gonna trust him yet.

I don't need him to trust Angel, Melaka. I need him to trust me.

I'm just saying, 'fore he's an ex or even 'fore he's a person, the guy's still a lurk.

And one of the baddest lurks that ever did lurk, to boot. I know the story. But...he had no right trying to send you up against Angel.

Didn't he? Not saying I was flattered or it was even that nice, but I dunno if it was stupid.

Say you did agree. I don't know -- whatever hypothetical reason. And say you slayed the big bad vamp. And say he came back in a week, but missing a part of him. The part of him that's keeping Angel from torturing us all. And tearing our throats out. And using every psychological terror he could devise on us. Then we'd be well and royally screwed.

Jack knows this. Should know this. [ after all, hadn't jack already learned what it's like to lose what makes him, him? ]

[... Light punch on the shoulder]

Reality check, Summers - I would never take a hit. [A beat, and then] But I do get you.

[ a grateful nod. ]

It's the principle. That and...that and I'm not entirely convinced he didn't just try it out of petty jealousy.

But it's good to know, y'know? That you're good for it.

I'm a lotta things, and a warrens gal at heart, but never could warm up to killing people. Not for contract, anyway.

Not every girl is so conscientious.

Might wanna hold off on calling me a saint though, biggest issue I got with it is someone telling me what to do.

[It's... halfway a joke. She smiles at the end of it to portray that]

...Sounds about right.

...So I gotta ask- is Angel as toy as the Cap says?

H-he...was. Remember what I said? Angelus? And he can be, again, if the soul goes poof. But Jack's never seen that, Melaka. He wasn't acting on that.

No, no. [She shakes a hand here, dismissively. Her brow furrows a little] Not evil-toy or killer-toy. Nothing skew like that. Just... toy. To be around? Cap mentioned speeches.

...Angel's my ex-honey and Jack's my current...uhm, maybe current honey. Of course he's gonna do the defamation of character route. He's a freaking pirate, after all.

I still don't really get that a pirate is.

You got boats in the future, Melaka?

[Uh...] I know what they are.

Think of pirates as boat-based thieves. Only slightly more romanticized and possibly less clean. But I've gone a very long ways to introducing Jack to the magic of modern hygiene.

...So what's "rapscallion?"

[Jack used that word]
