[Lab]
Although Jack has moved on to a different project, he keeps peeking at whatever data he can get his hands on regarding the Custom Jobs. Most of it is locked up, personal to the heroes, themselves, but he has been trying to catch anyone coming in with questions about their Jobs. He's already pulled that trigger, and is progressing on what he called 'Time Agent.' A joke only he gets. But maybe he wants to see if things are going to plan for everyone else. What might his own future hold.

The data that he can see, for the moment, pertains to his currently crystallized former roommate, Val. He was always very concerned with making her feel comfortable around him, so he didn't pry into who- or what, she had been in her home world. Maybe he should have asked.

"Got a minute?" He'll stop coworker or any other Hero (or maybe that moogle who is great to talk to).

[Home]
Housemates and visitors alike should be afraid. Mogwen's got the front door propped open to let out the heat from the kitchen, because Jack is cooking.

Jack's singing voice floats out from the kitchen, behind the sound of something sizzling in the small pan he is pulling off the heat. The strong smell of roasting garlic overpowers nearly everything else. He is balancing his attention between that, a large pot of simmering sauce, and dry pasta ready to go eventually.

The door's open, partly because he's been expecting more people to ask about the video. Not that he has more answers than anyone else, but he can at least pretend that he does.

Sure. What's up?

[Chiaki glances over to the data Jack is looking at.]

...Do you want to know more about Valvalis?

She told me a little more, if you're curious.
line_piece: (thinky)

[personal profile] line_piece 2016-04-17 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she never made much of a secret of the fact that she was a monster. Or a fiend, to use the term from her world. I think that's why we felt a kinship early on, even before we found out about each others' histories. Neither of us were human before coming here. We were both something else.
line_piece: (explain)

[personal profile] line_piece 2016-04-19 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, yeah.

[Chiaki nods.]

She missed the wind.
line_piece: (thinky)

[personal profile] line_piece 2016-04-20 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. She seemed a lot happier after she started getting her old powers back.

[Chiaki looks over at Jack at that last question, tilting her head thoughtfully for a moment.]

Not really. It was fine before because all my friends were in the Neo World Program too. But going back to that kind of existence here... it would be too big a tradeoff.
line_piece: (smile)

[personal profile] line_piece 2016-04-21 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... you're not the first one to say that. And I'd miss everyone too.

[It also looks like he hit the nail on the head, as Chiaki actually blushes for a moment.]

He's, um...
line_piece: (smile)

[personal profile] line_piece 2016-04-23 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually... he asked me to be his girlfriend.

[More blushing. And a soft little smile.]

...And I said yes.
