Dead

[lyndawithay]

*in the blackness, after having shot herself*

*tries to force herself to go in further*

JACK! TIME TO GO!

*wakes also*

*rolls onto her side and clutches her head*

*wincing* Oh, shit.

[agent_harkness]

*curls into a ball and doesn't move*

[james-gate.livejournal.com]

Guess you got a bit of a headache, huh.

[lyndawithay]

*with effort*

You have no idea.

How's Jack?

[james-gate.livejournal.com]

*crouches down beside Jack*

Jack? You still with us, buddy?

[lyndawithay]

*looks over, concerned*

...Jack?

[agent_harkness]

*scrunched*

[lyndawithay]

*gingerly moves herself over and puts an arm around you*

[agent_harkness]

*alive, but cold as ice*

[lyndawithay]

*shocked*

*collects you close to her to warm you and kisses your forehead*

*weakly* Jimmy, would you please go to Mary in the kitchen and ask her for a very large pot of coffee and a blanket please, as quickly as possible?

[james-gate.livejournal.com]

*on his way* I'll get you some aspirins, too, if those have been invented yet.

[lyndawithay]

*calling after you* Laudanum.

*rubs Jack's arms to help the circulation* Can you hear me, Jack?

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

*returns along with Jimmy, clutching an icepack to his head -- juggling the blanket, the coffee, the laudanum bottle, a couple of extra icepacks, some damp cloths, and a tube of anti-itch cream grabbed in a complete panicked flap between them*

--IwaslookingforJacktoaskhimsomethingandtheysaidhewasatyourplaceandwhileIwaswaitingthereIfeltthisthingandohgoodheavensIhopeyou'reallrightand...

*trails off, proffering the blanket and gaping in mute sympathetic horror*

[lyndawithay]

*winces and half-smiles*

I'll take some of that laudanum, please. And could you get that blanket around him, and give him some coffee if he'll take it?

*lets go of Jack and presses the heels of her hands to her aching head* And if we might turn the volume down a few notches...?

...ohboy...

*slumps back against a tree, holding her head*

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

*offers you the laudanum and starts wrapping Jack in the blanket while James pours the coffee*

Should I ring for a doctor? Only I don't know if Doctor Holloway makes house calls across timezones, and I've yet to be convinced of Doctor Harper's success rate with live patients...

*tenderly starts wiping the blood on your temple with one of the damp cloths, held in a couple of tentacles, while he gets out a mobile phone from his pocket*

...and I can get them to bring down some proper painkillers and make sure there's no lingering damage, and oh dear you don't seem to have very good phone coverage out here...

*brushes your hair back tenderly, looks at you, and swallows hard*

*distracts himself by helping Jimmy get the coffee cup between Jack's lips*

Come on, Jack, here's your coffee, just the way you like it, double espresso with mocha and a cherry on top, well all right I lied but you'll have to drink it to find out and just...

...oh my.

*a thin layer of ice has formed on top of Jack's coffee, where it touched his lips*

[lyndawithay]

*takes the laudanum gratefully and swallows, relaxing slightly*

Oh yes, mobiles are useless around here. Usually I just pop round to Doctor Joyce's, but...

*sees the way you're looking at her*

Hey. Hey, don't worry, I'm all right. I know, I know, I promised not to do this again, but...Jack needed my help. He's the one who made me promise in the first place.

...I'll be okay. Really.

*smiles at you, then sees the ice on Jack's coffee* Oh, god. Jack!

*fights down the panic in her voice*

Step back a minute...I'm going to try something.

God only knows if it'll even work, but I have to find out some time.

And Ood, Jimmy, this stays between us. This is purely medical.

*holds Jack's head in her hands, looking straight at him, takes a deep breath and concentrates*

*kisses him full on the mouth*

[agent_harkness]

beautiful

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

Erm... Jack?

*strokes a tentacle gently around your ear*

[agent_harkness]

absolutely beautiful

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

*holds your face and head, caressing gently, little shivers now as his tentacles grow tiny tips of frost*

It's more beautiful here. Stay with us.

[lyndawithay]

*opens your mouth with hers and breathes into you*

[agent_harkness]

*starts laughing*

Hi, Lynda. Hi, Ood. Hey there, Jimmy.

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

*jumps when you laugh, spilling your coffee in all directions*

[lyndawithay]

*clears her throat*

*straightens her hair*

*relieved* You had us worried there, you bastard.

[james-gate.livejournal.com]

*bends down to look into Jack's face, fascinated*

Hello there.

[agent_harkness]

;-)

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

*aside to Lynda*

Oh God, they're not going to be all cryptic again, are they...

*dunks icy tentacle-tips into the remains of the coffee to thaw them*

[lyndawithay]

*raises eyebrows and shrugs*

[lyndawithay]

...did you find what you were looking for, Jack?

[agent_harkness]

Oh yeah. Or you could say, it found me.

Thanks, Lynda. Without you, I'd've been stuck out there forever. *kisses you on the cheek*

[lyndawithay]

*looks at the ground nervously*

...none of it came back with you, did it?

[james-gate.livejournal.com]

I gotta get moving. My suitcase is still back at the house and I gotta give Daniel the finger before I go.

[lyndawithay]

*whispers to you*

You seemed fascinated with Jack. Why?

[james-gate.livejournal.com]

That'd be kissing and telling. ;-)

*makes off*

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can tell you're all right, more or less, that was just the wanting-to-kiss-it-and-make-it-all-better thing.

*gapes at the kiss* Speaking of which...

You know, if this is like hypothermia, he might need more contact than that...
