Backdated

[After an incident during the most recent black out, Jack's learning that liking girls doesn't make being a girl any more enjoyable. You'd think it would...with first person groping, but it was really more horrifying than anything.

He has to deal with three days of this torture too. Three days! Now definitely seemed like a good time to go hide in his apartment. Things have been rocky, and he'd been avoiding the place a bit (less in recent days), but him and Rose were still trying to patch things up. Hopefully this wouldn't make matters worse; he'd screwed up enough.

But that didn't matter right now, because he needed to get home before somebody...somebody saw him!

It's like running naked through Arsenal Gear all over again, except he has clothes, and boobs, but all the same embarrassment.]

(( ooc: Come make fun of a poor genderbent Jack. ))

[For once Jack would be disappointed that Rose wasn't in the kitchen, but reading a book in the front room of the house. There was no way he'd be able to get past her.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[Jack eased the door open to their apartment, peaking inside to see Rose in the worst possible spot besides being, maybe, right in front of the door staring him down.]

...

[He turned his back to her and started to cross the living room sideways like a crab.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[Oh yeah that's totally not obvious.]

Jack?

[Rose looked up from her book, a perplexed look on her face. How did you get through the Big Shell without being spotted, seriously?]

What are you doing?

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[]

Umm...nothing. I'm just going to my room.

[He hurries, shuffling all the way down to the hall.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[Jack you are the worst at being sneaky. Rose's curiousity was now piqued and she stood up, leaving the book on the couch.]

No, you're hiding something. What's going on?

[Her voice sounded like she was trying not to let her mind jump to conclusions. After all of the stress between them, it was hard not to overreact when Jack was acting so... strangely. What was it this time? More alcohol?]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

Nothing, really!

[She might notice that his voice was a bit higher, even though he tried to physically lower it as he spoke.]

[Once he reached the hall he turned around (his back to Rose still), and nearly sprinted to his room.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[Yes, she was going to believe that.]

Jack? What are you hiding?

[She was following him back to his room, not noticing the change in his voice, she was too worried about his behavior above all else. She hurried after him, intending on catching the door before he could close it.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[And he was so close to closing it too, but Rose stopped him and he was forced to peak out of the sliver that was left.]

I'm going to sleep...for awhile.

[For three days. He was going to enter a coma and wake up a man again. That was the plan.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

Jack...

[Rose's voice wavered as she tried to peek into the room, as if that would tell her what was going on.]

Something's wrong. Why won't you just tell me?

[She's getting upset. It might be best just to admit it so she doesn't think you're cheating on her or something.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's embarrassing...

[He furrowed his brow, noticing that she taking this the wrong way. If he didn't tell her, she'd probably think it was all sorts of horrible things.]

But it's just a room effect, okay?

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[Her expression softened slightly, just a room effect? But that could mean anything. It wasn't much better.]

Jack, if it's just a room effect there's nothing to worry about right? I'm not going to laugh at you....

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

Uhh, I'm pretty sure you will.

[The half-a-face peeking out through the door nods, lips tightened in a grimace.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

I promise, I won't.

[She persisted, trying to nudge the door open more. She just had to know he wasn't hiding something and using a room as an excuse.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[Clearly reluctant, he goes on, but still keeps Rose from coming into his room. He really didn't like her to go in his room anyway (even though he was better about it now than pre-Big Shell).]

It...turned me into a girl.

2/2

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

It did what?

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

Don't...don't make me say it again, Rose. It's embarrassing enough as it is...

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

You don't look that different... are you sure?

[From what she could see anyway.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[He gave her a slight look of disbelief, speaking in deadpan.]

...I'm sure.

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

Well...

[Now... she is really curious.]

Are you planning on just hiding in there for three days?

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

That's what I said, isn't it?

[He'll sneak out to get food when Rose is asleep--and the same for bathroom breaks.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

Jack... you can't just hide in there for three days.

[And she has to see this for herself :T]

Why don't you come out? It's just us.

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

No, really. I'm okay. I have a box of poptarts in here, I'll be fine.

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

But Jack...

[Hmm.]

That means I have to go three days without seeing you.

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not that long, is it? We can still talk through the door.

[Like right now.

Perfect solution.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[Dang it.... he wasn't going to come out, was he? Well... she had one other trick up her sleeve but...]

Jack... I miss you though..

[The words might sound normal, but the way she's inflicting it, well it implies something else. Come on Jack, can you resist lesbian make outs? Even though she wouldn't do that and just wants you to come out of the room?]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

... [He paused, blinking at her through the sliver of open door.]

Well I guess just a minute wouldn't hurt, right?

[Jack pushes open the door suspensefully slow.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[As Jack opens the door Rose can see that... yes, he... she.... is obviously a woman now.]

...

[D-don't mind her, she's just trying really hard not to laugh. She promised she wouldn't.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[He scrunches up his face in a somewhat annoyed frown.]

Great, I'm going back inside.

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

Wait- Jack...

[Pfft no hold it together. She grabbed Jack by the arm.]

I'm sorry, I just... wasn't sure what to expect.

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[He grumbles.]

Maybe I can hide them, at least for the next three days...

Any ideas?

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

Hide them?

[Pft.]

I guess if you wore baggy clothes. You can't wear that sneaking suit.

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

That's not going to do enough! Maybe if I wear a sweater or two...

[Serious contemplation.]

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could dress like a girl and just pretend to be one of your female alternates.

[That way nobody would know it was him]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[In disbelief:] --Rose! That's ridiculous!

[He shakes his head.] I'd rather just stay inside.

[by-anothername.livejournal.com]

[She couldn't suppress a small chuckle.]

Come on, Jack. It will be fun. I can give you a make-over.

[Was she just harassing him? Maybe.]

[finebehind.livejournal.com]

[He grimaces.]

Uh...no thanks. I wonder if I can find a room to change me back...
