Well...What Now? [Luffy/Open: Aqures Tosf]
August 14 - Aqures Tosf
[Luffy:]
Once Jack comes out of the Crystal Stasis, it doesn't take him long to figure out what's happened. The vortex manipulator now reads the "right" date again. City destroyed, them, what, removed from time?
Jack sighs deeply, and the first person he approaches is Luffy. He slides the treasured straw hat off his head and offers it over.
"Well. That didn't work."
Pause.
"You owe me a new sword, you know."
[Open:]
There is a principle at work here, one that Jack swears used to even be in the Torchwood handbook. Everything has gone wrong: somehow Jack's partly to blame.
This isn't a surprise or even something that is a problem. But Jack will wait for his fellow Heroes to come to him. They'll be expecting answers, either on the stunt he pulled at the Temple, or on what has happened to them, now. He had the answers last time, didn't he? In the meantime, though, there's a laboratory, no, a whole island to explore. Twenty eight years. How much has changed?

"I'm, not mad you know? Have a lotta people been mad?" Sacrificing yourself for others. It was too much like the Summoners, people she wanted to protect. How could she be angry at someone who reminded her of that? "I know what you were doing...well, I think I do? You thought...you had a lot of life, so you could fill up the crystal..?" Maybe, it might have looked awful confusing to people who had not seen what she had, even though he'd tried to explain it.
The girl's unusual eyes search the man's before her. His death had been hard to see - but since he was back, she shouldn't have to worry now. Only, she found she constantly was.
"Jack." There's a pause - she couldn't quite bring herself to ask it how she wanted to.
"...Is too much life a bad thing?" Did he want to die?
