[sortofaman]

The Doctor (and his hair) was awoke out of a sound sleep by the sound of fine pebbles hitting the porch outside. Letting Chase sleep, he poked his head out, dodged a new rain of pebbles, and then quietly slipped on boxers and a shirt before going downstairs and outside.

His hair, still sleepy, lay flat and slightly wavy against his head. "Jack," he said softly, squinting in the waxing half-moonlight. "What're you doing here?"

"There is that," he laughed. God, he felt good. At this rate, he may just keep that bottle filled. He looked over at it, and surprisingly enough...the level was where it had been before he decanted any at all.

The Doctor, not certain what was going down, shrugged and finished his drink. "You ever have the martini at the Oyster Bar in New¹¹ New York?" he asked.

"I don't think so. I don'tthink I ever got quite that far. Not a lot of battles in that era," he said, taking a deep breath. God, he felt good

"They had this bartender there, Suzy. And if you offered to buy her a drink after she was off duty, she'd break out these lemons that she'd filled with the hypervodka and use those to make the best martini Earth ever saw."

"Is that so?" Jack asked, melting a little deeper into the cushion. "What did you get after you two had drinks?"

"She slipped something into the Marquis de Longe's Harvey Wallbanger for me," the Doctor said. He smirked.

Jack snorted. Of course...he and the Doctor would always have differing agendas. "Good work," he smiled. "Suzy...I'll have to remember that."

"I'm sure," the Doctor said, "that she'd be happy to oblige your wants as well, Jack, mate." He stretched.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but she isn't here, and you are, and I've got all I want right here," he drawled.

"Jack," the Doctor said, drawling his name in that way that indicated that he was sorry, but no.

He rolled his eyes. "Don't talk to me like that," he sighed.

[sortofaman.livejournal.com]

"Like what?" the Doctor asked, brows raised.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

He blinked and tried to focus on one of the three Doctors before him, settling on the middle one. "Like I'm Wrong," he replied.

[sortofaman.livejournal.com]

The Doctor didn't quite know what he meant, and since he'd had just enough hypervodka to not remember the conversation that he'd seen on the reel, he blinked. "Uh. You want some water?"

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Might be a good idea, yeah," he smiles at the Left Doctor. "Water between drinks."

[sortofaman.livejournal.com]

The Doctor's hair moved slightly off kilter as he stood up and got Jack another glass of water. "Maybe more than between drinks. You're gonna get the hangover from hell."

The hair nodded.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Not if I just keep on drinking," he grinned, the hair more than a little distracting. "You know what I miss, too? Good champagne."

[sortofaman.livejournal.com]

"You can't drink forever, Jack," the Doctor said. He poured water for himself and drank it.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"I c'n try," he slurred, then tipped back the entirety of the new drink. He blinked as three doctors became six became nine, and when he blinked, he didn't open his eyes again.

Maybe the Doctor was right after all. It was very hard to keep drinking once you'd passed out.

The Doctor heaved a long sigh and shuffled off to get a light blanket, draping it over Jack. He set a pitcher of water nearby, but not close enough to get knocked over, and sighed again, before heading upstairs to bed.

Something was very off.
