Room 417, Thursday evening

[fates_jaye]

It's becoming apparent to Jaye that she's not really getting out enough, save for that little side trip to the Sin the other day which was not for sex purposes thank you, but rather bothering-the-hookers purposes.

If she thinks too hard about that, she might end up putting in a call to Dr. Ron.

But she doesn't wanna, so she's hanging in her room with the door closed and actually reading her spam mail. She really should think too hard about that, because that's a sure sign she needs to get out.

[For he who knows who he is.]

"Thank you," she chirps. "And any chips you might want, grab them now because your hands are next."

Jack quickly grabbed a handful of chips and started munching them while Jaye finished his foot. "I wonder what Sam and Cedric are going to think of me having pink toes."

[ooc: And I must crash now!]

[fates_jaye]

"I think they'll be jealous they don't have pink toes," she says matter-of-factly.


[I'm heading to work. Awesome timing!]

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I think you might be right." Jack wiggled his toes again, already planning how best to spring them on Sam. "They are knd of impressive."

[fates_jaye]

"And," she says helpfully, "if you look in just the right light, you can see weetiny gold flecks in the polish. They're subtle. Hand, please."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Gold flecks? Very nice." He placed his hand in Jaye's while he tried to see the gold flecks. "Don't forget, gold on one, then red on the next, okay?"

[fates_jaye]

"As you wish," she says, and starts with one color on his thumb, then his middle fingernail, going to end with his pinky. "Maybe I should do this as a career. Just paint fingernails till the fumes get to me."

"You're doing a great job." Jack watched her quietly for a minute. "What do you want to do, Jaye? With your life, I mean."

[fates_jaye]

"Doesn't really matter," she answers with a shrug. "I'm just going to end up overeducated and unemployed, probably working some minimum wage job while everyone around me bemoans my wasted potential."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack looked at her curiously. "Why?"

[fates_jaye]

"There isn't anything I really want to do," she says. "Might as well waste the parents' cash on school to make them happy, though. And to waste their cash."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Wasting their cash makes your parents happy?" Jack asked, grinning failtly. "I only ask as I haven't got any parent's whose cash I can waste."

[fates_jaye]

"It's the simple things in life that make it all worth it," she says. "No parents?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Nope. They never came back and picked me up. So no cash wastage." His voice was as matter of fact as Jaye's had been. "I like the red. It suits me."

[fates_jaye]

She watches him for a moment, not saying the That was dumb of them that she's thinking, and finishes up his other hand before picking up the last bottle. "So what about you? Any idea what you want to do with yourself?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to join the Time Agency," he replied, voice practically humming with excitement. "It's all I've ever wanted to do, and when I leave here, I've got a place at the Academy waiting for me."

[fates_jaye]

Jaye's smiling a little when she says, "I have no idea what that is but yay."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Very yay," Jack laughed. "Once I've got my own time ship, I'll come back and get you, take you on a whirlwind tour of anywhen you want to go."

[fates_jaye]

She might look a tiny bit excited about that. "Seriously?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"If I can, I will. I promise," he said seriously, then grinned. "When do you want me to take you?"

[fates_jaye]

"Future sometime, but I'm not sure when," she says. "Anything cool happen that you know of in like the next four centuries?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't much for history, which I'm guessing is going to have to change." Jack pondered that for a minute. "Huh. I could take you to my time, show you around, but it's not that exciting."

[fates_jaye]

"No, that could be cool," she says. "Get to see where you're from and stuff. Could be awesome. And hey, future."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"And any place or time that has you in it is automatically many times cooler than it was before." Jack used his free hand to grab a spoonful of ice cream, then offered a spoonful to Jaye. "It's all soft and melted now, so it's perfect."

[fates_jaye]

She takes a bite from the spoon with a "Mm," and finishes off his hand. "Tah dah!"
