You've Got Mail
You mock me, but two of those are very real statements.
I'd be careful who you piss off here, pirate.

Loot
So there really was some credence behind the phrase "honor among thieves." Or the hunter really did like his pen. Or Jack was just further being messed with.
Either way, he took back his stolen supplies and began to put everything in order again, humming to himself contentedly. When his shift was done, Jack left one note: We have a deal.

ParleyHe found himself vaguely crestfallen that the little war wouldn't continue in secrecy anymore, as much of a nuisance as it had been to his work. The mundane distraction had been welcomed. But Jack was also a man who liked to get to the bottom of things, and so the satisfaction of meeting his opponent was a good trade off. The 6'7" giant made his way to his desk and, upon seeing someone occupying it already, waited until he was behind her before he cleared his throat. A prized ergonomic pen tapped the top of her head. "Jesus, do you normally look like that or did you dress up just for me?" he asked with raised brows.

ParleyAt the sound of someone clearing his throat, Claude dog-earred the corner of the page she was on, and closed the book. As she closed it, she felt the tapping of something small and cylindrical on her head, and pause. She kept her gaze straight ahead as he spoke, and when she answered his question, she stilted her head back to look at him. Even upside down, it was easy to see he was different than that poster she'd been treated to forever ago. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but I always look like this." The trainee then uncrossed her legs and shifted to a stand, tucking the book underneath one arm. The other rested on her hips, and her grey eyes scanned Jack over briefly before they settled on his face. The corners of her lips pulled up quickly for brief, small smirk. "Do you know how refreshing it is to look up at someone?" medigel Is it bad I'm sitting here giggling about these two being Christmas colors? Because I so am. Also that is a sexy pic of Jack oooomg <333

Jack scoffed. " Wow. Someone's delusional, though I admire your dedication to the part." He held the pen out for her to take. "It's as refreshing as not needing to crane my neck to see people, I suppose. Black ink ergonomic gripped fountain pen, just like what you stole. But for a pirate, you drive for very strange deals," Jack noted, looking over the trainee himself. She literally looked the part and everything, it was strange to take in. "This one's a little over $23. Chump change considering our paychecks. I hope it was worth all that trouble of bothering me." Lucyal omg you're right though shdhdksksndbfhdj but did u mean Asian hipster trash I'm sure u did

"You're just jealous." Claude replied, and went the pen was offered, she reached out and took it. The trainee looked it over, still rather pleased she was getting a pen of her own...well, a second pen of her own. Ha. Her lips quirked up in a smirk, and she reached up and tucked the pen behind an ear for safe keeping. " Well worth the trouble." How ever unexpected it was that it ended up turning into a meeting like this. Noting his coat, she could tell he'd been here a while. Hm. Interesting. Maybe this was another person whose brain she could pick about being here on Deus...actually...wait. She never did introduce herself properly, huh? Claude raised two ring covered fingers in a bit of a salute to the tall Lifer. "Claude." She introduced. medigel No...no I didn't mean that at all... /crylaughing at Azn hipster trash

He tipped an invisible hat in return. "Captain Jack, but you knew that already of course. Now will you explain to me why you were obsessed with stealing my office supplies?" he asked. "Aside from what I suspect is a kleptomaniacal impulse to screw around."

Claude's smirk widened. "Aye aye, Captain." She replied, and took a moment to shift the book she was holding to her other arm. "Bad habit at first." She started. "Pens are easy, but always needed, and the few other things? Easy as well, and I could have a use for them...but then you left the poster on your desk and well...then it did change to screwing around." A pause. "Also, you have really good office supplies." Her gray eyes slid from Jack to the other desks nearby with their mediocre material.

"I spare no expense if I have the means," he agreed with a little smile, "a motto that I apply to more than just my possessions. The dinopads were a gift, though." Not that he couldn't have Ian buy more since they were friends, of course, and that was what friends did: buy stupid but endearing things for each other. "Anyway, I ask that from now on you either buy things yourself or pilfer from some other idiot. Or maybe even ask nicely."
Though he would miss the anticipation of a new unsightly mess at his desk.
"What's a Sun like you doing in the infirmary so much anyway?" Jack had to ask. "Unless you're so inept that you're a revolving door patient? Normally your kind likes to stay far away from here whenever possible."

She was getting that vibe from him. Not only from the items on his desk, but actually seeing him in person now. The clothes he wore underneath his coat were very... Tasteful. For a lack of words and other adjectives she could possibly use to describe it. Oh wait...the dino pads were a gift? Oops. If she was remorseful about that, it didn't show. Though her smirk did stay. "How kind of you." While it could have been sarcastic, Claude's tone was neutral, because after all that s**t she did to his desk, it actually was a kind offer. He could have very much banned her from any of his things really. In reality though, the thrill of pilfering his desk was gone, which meant it was safe... Leaving staged scenes on it on the other hand though...Well...that was still game on. She'd keep that part to herself though. It was always fun to keep people guessing. Maybe she'd surprise him. "Ah, fair question. My brother is in Life, and works in the infirmary, so I visit him often." She did seem amused as his suggestion though. "No, not that kind of Sun..." At least, she hoped she wouldn't be. If she was still going to be a Sun...with her hit record lately it didn't seem like a good option. "Do you specialize in the Infirmary too?"

"Not specialize, no, but I do have a lot of shifts here. It's not so bad: sometimes I get something interesting like ice crotch to patch up," Jack said with a dry smile. "And with Thanksgiving coming up, I'm sure we'll start to see our share of idiot trainees poisoned by FEAR-tainted food or something; or, s**t, the candies they feed the pets even. Not really a dull day when you work here." For better or for worse.
He lightly crossed his arms. "So a brother, you said? Who is he? I might know him."

"Ah." Claude nodded her head a bit, then paused and stared at him. "Ice...crotch...?" She repeated slowly, and stared at him for a moment longer before she narrowed her eyes. "What...someone sticks their d**k into a freezer?" She knew the majority of the people on the island were stupid...but were they that stupid? It seemed to be the case as Jack continued to list what other stupid things people did. She released a sigh. "Apparently so..." Claude trailed off for a moment. "Lex." She stated. "Lex Jamil." She wasn't sure how well hunters knew others in their division...she'd been here a while now and still didn't that many Suns... Hm.

Jack barked a laugh. "More like someone sticks their d**k in a Halloween creature," he explained, letting Claude's imagination do the rest. Oh, he had forgotten about the naiveté of new trainees.
His eyes narrowed curiously as he looked her over again, seeing very little similarities to Lex beyond maybe the self-confidence and the eyes. And the height too, he supposed. "Yup, I know the guy," he said. "He's fun to poke, huh? Last time I ribbed him he shot me up in a spar and tried psychoanalyzing me." He was grinning in spite of the memories, like it was just another moment of boys will be boys. "Must have been a fun household to grow up in."

Claude's face went flat as she stared at him. Someone...sticks their d**k into...a Halloween creature. Someone... That was so ridiculous it couldn't be real. Was he ******** with her because she was new? But was it as ridiculous as her current situation, really? Wearing a uniform in the middle of an island in the Bermuda Triangle? Really? Claude still couldn't decide if Jack was serious, or messing with her, and she wasn't going to ask him to reaffirm that either. Maybe she'd ask Lex later. She let out a chuckle as he described him. "Yeah, that sounds like him." She was glad though, that she had encountered someone who seemed to have a, mostly, good impression of her brother though. "Something like that." She replied with a smirk. "How long have you been here for?"

"Mm...Fourteen months," he replied after some mental math, then scoffed to himself. "Makes me sound old, even though there are people who have been here for, hell, five years or more. Suns have a high turn over rate in case they didn't warn you; watch yourself out there."
Uncrossing his arms, Jack made to slip past her and take his seat. "Or don't if you feel so adventurous, pirate. I assure you," he said with a brisk tone but a confident smirk, "that I and mine here take very good care of our patients, assuming you don't mouth us off in the meantime. How long have you been around?" he asked in turn.
