103 Howls: Jack's out again

[coyote_walking]

This is not good.

Went to check on Jack last night since Medea was yowling relentlessly at his door and he was unconscious again. It looks like he's back in that same coma thing he was in before.

I know he woke up okay last time, but there's still that part of me that's panicked that this time he won't wake up. And after... well, never mind that now.

I sat with him most of the night - or dozed in a chair by his bed - hoping he'd be okay this morning, but there's no change.

Doctor? Any new ideas?

Anyone?

You tried getting a bit of tea in him?

[Okay so he's not Time Lord and Rose has no idea what she did to Jack when she brought him back from the dead but it worked for the Doctor once so it might be of some use with Jack.]

It just dribbles down his chin.

Last time he was like this for, over a week. It was horrible.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

And he woke up jus' fine?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

He seemed to. The Doctor came over and stayed to try and help that time, so I'm not sure if it was something he did to help him wake up or not.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Bit odd. Perhaps it's somethin' the City does?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

I haven't heard of it happening to other people - not like one of the curses, you know?

But I suppose anything's possible.

Unless it's some sort of side effect of him being immortal.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Hold on...

Jack's immortal?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if that's the right word.

He can die, but he doesn't stay dead.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Think you got that a bit wrong.

Jack's human. [Or he was until she got a hold of him. Her and the time vortex]

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

He was, but something happened to him.

There was a video up about it on the Network during one of the curses.

I don't really understand it, but I guess he died and someone brought him back to life somehow and then after awhile... he found out he couldn't die.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

M'goin' to find out a bit more. I'll let you know if I find out anything important, yeah?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Okay. I know the Doctor knows all about whatever happened. You could always check with him.

Sounds like you know Jack from... before?

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I knew Jack from my world. The Doctor's who I'm gonna ask. He'll be able to clear a bit up for me and maybe have some suggestions.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Okay. He knows where we're at and you're welcome to come if you have any ideas.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Mercy, do you need help?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

It's like what happened last time, but...

It's hard, Mara.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I can come, stay with you awhile?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I hate to take you away from Ken.

But maybe if you could come by for a bit, help distract me?

That would probably be a really good thing.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

It's all right, I don't mind and neither will he. I'll be right there.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Mara.

Want me to put some water on for tea or hot chocolate?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Tea would be good, and I'm bringing whiskey.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly a drinker, you know.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Then now is a good time to start.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

And how is me getting toasty supposed to help Jack?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

It doesn't, Mercy, I don't think you can. You couldn't before. But it helps you forget for awhile.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I guess there are worse things, right?

Okay, come on over with your whiskey.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Give me twenty minutes or so? Maybe thirty and I'll be right there.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm not going anywhere.

Just come on in when you get here.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

He's in exactly the same state as before?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

You'd probably be able to tell better than me, but so far, yeah, looks a lot the same.

Which I suppose means we just have to wait and see, but... it's hard.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

That's weird. I know Jack's weird, but normally in the up-and-moving sort of way. I can come by after work and see if there's any differences from the last time; might be helpful.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Anything you can do would be very much appreciated.

He's... become rather special to me.
