[Open]
Who: Jack, OPEN
What: Working at the lab, and shenanigans at home.
When: 4/14
Where: Jess- ... Er- Palitulu's Laboratory, and House B-03
Warning: None
[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.

[Chiaki glances over to the data Jack is looking at.]
...Do you want to know more about Valvalis?
Re: Lab
Jack taps the file. "Didn't have a clue about this."

A curious comment, though. "I know you weren't human, but I'll argue you're more human than a lot of people that I know."
no subject
[Chiaki nods.]
She missed the wind.
no subject
There's a question that, with anyone else, Jack would be more careful about asking, but he knows he doesn't have to beat around the bush with Chiaki. "Coming here changed who you are, too. But- you're not lining up to get that identity back. Like you did in that vision?"
no subject
[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.
no subject
"I would. If you went back in."
There's a beat pause where maybe this conversation is going to get too serious, before Jack looks back up at Chiaki with a more sly look and a tiny smile at the corner of his mouth. "And, apparently, somebody else would, too..." Jack, what do you think you know?
"So who's this Hinata guy?"
no subject
[It also looks like he hit the nail on the head, as Chiaki actually blushes for a moment.]
He's, um...
no subject
"It seems he respects you quite a lot." A crush, but is it unrequited or not...? "Does he know there's potentially something else going on there?"
no subject
[More blushing. And a soft little smile.]
...And I said yes.
