week 7 - still don't know the fucking daaaate

[refactor]

[ Ultimately, he doesn't feel safe here.

Jack is actually pretty genuinely surprised that he ended up in the medbay at all, because truth be told, when his vision had started blurring, he really thought that was it. So waking again was a surprise, and even moreso that it was alone. Objectively, that's stupid. He'd killed a man in front of everyone, just as he had been promising, yet they left him alone?

Though as he looks up towards the vent in the room, he can take a guess at why.

Nowhere in the ship is safe, most likely, but he doesn't like being here. It's too open, too full of dangerous implements, and so he's decided that before the end of the day, he's definitely going to leave. Just, you know, after some of those salves or whatever do a little more of their work. He's already reopened one wound and had it get him into trouble, so he's not keep for a repeat on that department.

Still. It's pretty fucking boring. Jack has been sitting here basically hoping that someone would come by so that he could at least talk to them, but finally, in desperation, he's turning to his datapad. He hasn't really touched it yet, and for reasons that will become apparent as Yuno enters the room. He's concentrating on the screen, tapping away with one hand, albeit slowly, though without thinking, he tries to swipe the screen with his other hand. ]

Oh, goddammit.

[ Jack may have a little bit of a learning curve here with the whole "no hand" thing. ]

[ rhys and elizabeth, it turns out, are things that yuno can't quite comprehend. something is clear to her; elizabeth was taken by a thing, and that thing wore her skin. as far as liz seems to check out, now, she's effectively been exorcised. rhys, on the other hand, will probably start to smell come trial day. rutting around in the vents like the wounded animal that thing is, yuno's sure that it'll bleed out and die soon enough.

still, paranoia is a friend of her's she knows all too well; she tapes up several vents as best she can. as she does, she remembers her resolve to get back to yukki, to get off this damn ship. she has to survive, and there's one person who is, to her, the key to that. rhys' reveal proved it: handsome jack knew who, on this ship, was a danger to people. he made enemies with them.

people might oppose him, but to her, he's the only one capable here.

pure delight washes across her face when she sees him, awake, alive, mostly in one piece. jack is not dead, and he can still get her home. that's all that matters. after a week of avoiding nightmares in which jack, more of a symbol than a man to her, was killed.... nearly watching it happen was horrific, and it's hard not to break into a tearful smile. there's still a chance. ]

Mr. Jack! You're okay!

[ she rushes over to him, and indeed, it's easy to see what the problem is, but through her tears and elation, it takes a back seat: instead, yuno opts to dash over, abandoning a roll of duct tape as she goes, and throw her arms over jack's shoulders. ]

I was so scared you weren't going to be okay, but you are. You really are... you're awake and okay, and I'm so glad you're okay, Mr. Jack! You scared me so much, I thought you were going to die!
