Seahorse steps: Wednesday Late Afternoon (after workshops)

Jack was stretched out on the grass near the steps, basking in the afternoon heat -- shirtless, of course - he was back in Seawhorse, after all.

Oddly enough, he was also reading a book he'd ~~handwavily~~ picked up after his workshop. It wasn't as battered as Sam's copy, but the cover was the same.

There was a box of J,Gob's savoury muffins near his elbow, which he'd happily share, and a bottle of sunscreen, which he'd more than happily ~~rub on~~ share with anyone who wanted to join him in shirtlessness.

[As open as a thing that it is bounded neither by time nor space!]

Parker batted at his feet, but still grinned. "Yeah, yeah, right. NO. I'm not doing that kind of 'blue' photo. Too many people would flail at me." She snickered. "Let's see the pretty boxer-briefs, though."

Jack jumped to his feet, and slowly unbuttoned his cut-offs, giving a little shimmy to make them slide slowly off his hips, revealing - as promised - blue underwear (http://www.topdrawers.com/underwear/go-softwear/images/go-2043.jpg).

Humming under his breath, he stepped out of them and flicked them towards Parker. "Ta da," he laughed, spreading his arms wide.

*FLASH*

"Yeah, those look familiar." She grinned. "Preeeetty." She tilted her head. "As well as the guy in them, of course. How goes your day? Lazy, if you're just lying around here waiting to be discovered."

"Seen these before, have you? I should have guessed," he said. "Lazy and lazy pretty much covers it. How about yours?" He gestured at his shorts. "Toss those back, will you?"

Parker grinned, and tossed them at his head. "Good, just wandering around town, taking photos for Veronica's class, and a couple inside the library. Now you." She cocked her head. "I got a couple of the TARDIS disappearing and reappearing, thanks to the new Doctor."

Jack caught them and bundled them up into a pillow and flopped back onto the ground, shoving them under his head. "Okay, this is the Doctor I'm supposed to know about and don't? You talked to him? And what's a TARDIS?"

"You can put those on at any time, you show-off," Parker informed him, slapping at his foot. "A TARDIS is a big blue police box, British-type-- Time And Relative Dimensions in Space. It's bigger on the inside than on the outside. We had a poker game inside the last guy's." She smirked. "As well as other things. And evidently? This is not the same guy, but is." She frowned. "He looks and sounds nothing like the guy CJ dated, but he says he's an earlier, alternate version? Which is even more confusing than the twins who aren't related at all around here."

Jack grumbled a bit, but he pulled his shorts out from under his head and put them back on. "Now what am I supposed to rest my head on? The ground's awfully hard." He gave her a sad look.

"This Doctor is an alternate version of the one that was here when CJ was here. So he won't know who I am then," Jack sighed with relief. "Good."

"You are not resting your head on my lap out here in public. No." Her mouth twitched. "Or on any other softer part of me."

"Good?" Parker looked surprised, then frowned. "Jaaaack."

"Please?" His eyes got bigger and he sighed sadly. "For me?" he asked as he reached out and patted her ankle. "And of course good. One less person who knew me when I don't know them? Why wouldn't I be happy about that?"

"He said, specifically, that he knew of you, but I don't know how far that goes." She sighed. "And you can rest your head on my legs." She rolled her eyes and stretched them out, crossed at the ankles. "You don't want answers now? I asked him, and I was *annoyed* he didn't know anything."

Jack rested his head just above her knee, hiding his grin. "I do want answers. And if he can give them to us, that's great. But if he doesn't have any, I'm just as happy not to make life even more complicated." He rubbed his ear against her leg. "Thank you for trying, though."

Parker rolled her eyes at the ear-rubbing, and thwipped the tip of his nose with her fingers. "Mmm. You're welcome. I got some *awesome* shots of the TARDIS disappearing into time, while I was at it. He's a lot less hyper than the last guy with his name." She shook her head. "Now I just need to figure out a good prompt for a separate 'earth' picture, and I'm set."

Jack wrinkled his nose when she thwipped it. "Hey. What's that for?" he protested. "I didn't do anything. But I'd like to see those pictures - sounds like they'll be spectacular."

"Making yourself comfortable. I am not a settee." She shook her head, amused. "And definitely I'll get you copies." She leaned back on her hands, and sighed, turning her face up to the sunlight. "Have you run into Zero or Angela yet? Or Marty?"

"I wasn't! I was just being affectionate." He did it again, grinning up at her. "No, no and no. Are these people I know and don't remember, or new people I get to meet for the first time?"

"Affectionate, my..." Parker pinged him again, very lightly, and grinned. "People you would remember if you were able, although you weren't best buds with them. Angela and Zero were in art class with us, and they were library aides with me. So you saw a good bit of them while we were together. Marty is Angela's boyfriend. They all just got back on Saturday." She closed her eyes, enjoying the sunlight. "Zero has pink hair, Angela has carmelized cherry, Marty's the guy who looks like he stepped off the set of The Godfather."

"You want me to affectionate your what, Parker? I thought we weren't allowed to do that anymore." Knowing he was going to get thwapped again, he wrapped his arms around her leg, kissed her knee, then very quickly moved until he was sitting a few feet away, looking innocent. "And they sound interesting. Certainly very colourful. If I don't run into them, you'll have to introduce me."

Parker yelled "Jack!" and reached to thwap him, but he scrambled away too fast. She settled for poking him with her foot, and glaring at him. With her lips twitching. "So very not allowed. And yes, I'll re-introduce you, the next time you're in the same space. Angela's in Pangolin with me, and Zero's in Pot-Bellied Pig. I don't know where Marty ended up." She checked the sky, and made a face. "Speaking of. I should get in. I'm starving."

Laughing at her, he moved a bit further away. "I'm gonna hang here for a little bit longer. It's still too nice a day to go in."

"You do that." She grinned. "I'll send Angela over to say hi if I see her. Although it's a toss-up whether the shirtlessness will be an inducement to stay or go. Heh." Parker got to her feet, then snapped one last photo of him, crouching and grinning at her. "Byeeee."

"Hey! It's always an inducement to stay," he called after her as she left.
