who knows what number.

[The video feed cuts on. Jack is as always sitting in front of that blasted piano of his, it's like he never gets away from it! But this is different than most of the other times he sit's in front of the thing. He isn't even playing it.

He just wants to talk. It's hard to determine whether he's actually upset or not.]

I hardly remember this time last year. I just know it will be Valentine's day without Alice around. I don't mean to sound bitter if I do.

But I must know, what do people do on Valentine's day other than spend it with someone they love? I was told it was called "being single". I'm not really sure...

[[Private to Canada.]]

Are you still around? It just dawned on me that we never went for lunch. I feel like an awful friend.

video; it's okay i do too...

[ W E L L . oz's alice...and jack... i mean he realizes that alice was weird around things regarding jack, due to her memories or something, but...was it like that? hold the phone here, why is that stupid rabbit even...? break doesn't understand relationships regarding the heart very well, he doesn't even understand his own, to be quite honest, so!! YES BREAK WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND THIS— ]

... Why?

[ what is this madness. ]

video; sob and im sorry my tags have been so lazy. im usually not this bad at jack.

[Why wouldn't sh be weird around things regarding Jack? She was weird with him until they got close, and that was when things started to clear up for them. Jack admitted to do some of the things from his past, and Alice admitted to being a chain.

Jack has very little relationship knowledge, only that he "hit on" girls and such things as that. Alice had never really been his "girlfriend"- and if she was it was unclear and for a very short time.

That question and many others regarding Alice would...really...take a long time to explain. Break, why do you do this to him.]

Simple, Mister Xerxes. My heart was in love with her. Chain or not, she was something special to me. [This question had a ton of answers. But. He wont get into that right now.]

video; shhhh it is o k a y you're fine!! ♥

[ he just enjoys making the entire cast's lives difficult tbh, jack gets extra treatment since he's That Hero and also his only bro from home—! BUT REALLY WHY IS THIS A THING he won't question it any further...for now... but still this was something he couldn't ignore entirely, and as per his usual style of doing things he feels the need to be blunt to some glaring plausible casualities here. break respecting another person's precious feelings?? NOPE.GIF— ]

Of course. You do realize though that a chain is by all means not a human being, and furthermore cannot even remain outside of the Abyss without a contract, correct? [ there's a slight pause, and then he adds— ]

Occasionally it can do a great deal of good to properly reign in one's heart, Mister Hero— for more than just a single person, I might add.

video; a h h h h h h ♥

Hero.

[He laughs. There was a lot of nervous laughing here. He isn't a hero, why would you say that to him. It makes him feel like the most awful person in the world.] I'm not hero. Just Jack, just..Jack.

[Sigh.] Oz was here at one time. Oz was her contractor. However, she started staying with me after he disappeared the second time.

[ ok break will now solely call him 'hero' from henceforth. ]

Oh? You're most certainly recognized as one— you did a great thing, after all! [ break reaches into his sleeve only to remove a piece of wrapped candy from it, removing the wrapping as he continues speaking— ]

Oh my, was Oz here as well? How curious. [ —he begins counting on the same fingers he's currently opening that candy with. that makes...what? lotti—whom he'd actually conversed with before she had so mysteriously disapeared—, oz, alice... well then! a little odd for alice to remain after oz left, but he can duly recognize that this world's particular...rules...are a bit special. ]

Am I correct in assuming that both you and the rabbit opened up to one another thereafter?

[wow you are the biggest douchebag, you win the prize!]

A great thing? What I did was nothing short of a crime, really. I don't care how people view it, my personal view is that I did something wrong. [if this jack were canon updated, then he would understand so much more, probably. he didn't want to think about this any longer, did he? he always shoved this right out of his mind.

as did break, it seems. since he just flipped subjects on him once again.]

No. We did not. Unless you would like to count our closeness as a "contract", then we most certainly did not. There is not a mark on me from a contract. [to his own knowledge, all he had was the tattoo from Vatheon on his neck. that was all the markings he could remember himself having. unless he was blocking out some crazy memory, unlikely, or was it?]

Why would we need a contract, to have a courtship, Hatter? [come at him bro. tell him why.]
