Day 2, 1st Hour // Video

[out_of_time]

[Jack appears in a shaky screen, wearing dirty clothing. He looks shocked, haggard, completely spent, and more than a little disoriented. He touches his face for a moment as though feeling for a wound, but there's nothing there.]

I'm back. I never thought- I never knew-

[Jack trails off and squeezes his eyes shut. Two years of memories and physical age are slamming back into him on top of the very bad day he just came from. He takes a deep breath, processes.]

I need an update. I need to know the status...

[He breaks off again, uncertain, confused. Then there's a shout and a wooping siren. Jack looks over his shoulder. When he turns back to the camera, there's the sound of feet running, his and two other pairs. His face is hard and grim.]

Fuck it.

[The post ends. Responses will be delayed ICly since Jack has been spotted by his former colleagues near the Porter Building, and needs to leg it.]

No kidding.

At least I won't be bored anymore.

Got anything planned?

Not yet. I need... some time to sort things out.

[There's a lot to sort out.]

You still with the Mayor?

Hm, no. I left him in the capable hands of a colleague.

Can't say I'm surprised. Does that mean you're available for new jobs now?

voice; encrypted

[doubleoohbaby]

Not entirely. Depends on what it is. I'm self-employed as it stands...

Well, it's the kind of thing you probably wouldn't be able to do if you were still with City Hall.

I think you and I need a little chat.

voice; encrypted

[out_of_time]

I think you're right.

Is this a good way to contact you?

[ooc: Do you want to thread this in the open log?]

[doubleoohbaby]

Mm, it is.

(ooc: yaaaah I will tag it after work :3)
