here's another jack for you guys

[jacksonoverland]

Okay, you took a ridiculously long amount of time with this. Do you know how many pranks we could've done in that time? A lot! So you really owe me an apology here. Still, I am glad you decided to bring me here at all, so thanks for that! 

Now what's this about me with white hair? I'm not... No, I can't be, that's not possible! You're worrying me here. I can't be...

... old!

YOU were mockin' my ability t'kiss. HE'S threatenin' t'moon me! I don't even know how t'react t'that!

[jacksonoverland]

Not sure if I should ask the story behind this lover's quarrel or what a dude is... I'm more curious about the latter, actually.

[bringsthefrost]

It's just another term for 'guy' or 'friend' I guess. I never really understood it.

[pause, then indignant]

And this isn't a lover's quarrel!

[myownhand]

[PRESSING HANDS TO FACE. SO RED RIGHT NOW.]

It's not a lover's quarrel. Trust me. And all you [human!Jack] need t'know is never tell a girl that they kiss weird when y'haven't even kissed them.

[POINTED GLARE AT SPIRIT!JACK.]

[jacksonoverland]

Sure, sure. Of course it's not. [It is. It so is. He's not sure why 300 something year old him's into little girls, but that's not really what matters here]

I believe you... dudes.

[bringsthefrost]

Hey, you're the one that kissed me! I never asked for it, I was just saying.

[He waves his hand in a so-so motion.]

You'll get the hang of it. It won't come around until, like, the 1980s, but you'll have plenty of time to practice using it right.

[myownhand]

Stop tryin' t'just wave me off here!

[BATTING AT YOUR HANDS. STOP IT.]

Th'point is. You [Human!Jack, there's helpful pointing] were threatenin' t'moon me. And YOU [Spirit!Jack] mocked me. And y'just called me "DUDE"? [SHE STILL DOESN'T--]

There's only so much y'can expect a lady t'take before she snaps.


[....is that a threat?







Maybe.]

[jacksonoverland]

[He doesn't see the problem with butts and kissing. So he'll ignore it for now until he can make another joke of it]

You're much more of a dude than a lady, I'd say. Despite the whole princess thing.

been informed by other!Jack that we can go back to single taggin

[myownhand]

[She'll level him an even glare-- ignore the hint of amusement.]

I'll try t'take that as a compliment.

[jacksonoverland]

[Ignore the amusement? As if]

Don't try too hard, your majesty.

[myownhand]

You were th'one eager t'pull your pants down. I could call my guards.

[That-- even if she had some-- are clearly not around.]

[jacksonoverland]

You seemed pretty eager for me to do so. You can't really hide blushing, you know.

[And even if she had some, they wouldn't scare him]

[myownhand]

How was I eager?

[PLEASE TELL HER SO SHE cAN AVOID THIS SITUATION AGAIN.]

[jacksonoverland]

You just were, your majesty. Can't explain it.

[No way. If he told her, then he wouldn't be able to do this joke again, would he?]

[myownhand]

[GRAAAAAAh THIS IS SO-]

Merida. [POUTING.] Not "your majesty" or "princess" or ... "dude".

It's Merida.

[jacksonoverland]

[So funny. Yes, he knows]

Well then, Merida, you can call me "your majesty."

[myownhand]

Really? So what's your official title, your majesty"?

[jacksonoverland]

Oh! Um... [He stands up straighter and puffs out his chest] Prince Jackson of Overland Kingdom. [Very believable]

[myownhand]

[She just grins, a bit at his impression and another part is just his name. There was some novel joy in knowing his name from... well... before.]

All set t'take over your father's lands? Find a princess, settle down, marry and have kids of your own?

[Okay now she's just being like her mother...]

[jacksonoverland]

[He breaks character slightly, forgetting the whole prince thing with the sudden question]

I- honestly haven't thought about any of that.

[myownhand]

Well, that's just one of the many duties you'd have to do as crown prince. It's not all fun and games.

[MUCH AS MERIDA WOULD LIKE IT TO BE.]

[jacksonoverland]

No, I'm pretty sure I can make anything all fun and games.

[Sounds like a challenge, really]

[myownhand]

Oh? And what happens when your parents come home home one day and say y'have t'get married t'some girl y'don't even know?

[THAT WASN'T FUN.


Except for the whole kicking their butts at archery thing.

What is it with butts in this thread?]

[jacksonoverland]

[He smirks smugly. This is all so obvious! First grade, Merida!]

Then I have one more person to prank, don't I? And it'll be more fun since she doesn't know me and doesn't know what to expect! Gotta be more optimistic, Princess.

[myownhand]

[She just grins, because she's got to admire that attitude. Don't mind as she reaches out and ruffles his hair.]

It's great until y'have t'have a babby with them and their face looks a bit more like a tumshie than any person you've ever seen.

Either way, I took th'third option out, managed t'get out of the marriage. For th'moment, at least.
