Suzie Costello

I know the latest post on the journal network is probably making you want to dismember things right now.

It's doing the same to me, for reasons... Well, I've explained them to your subconscious, but not to you directly. I'd say it's a fun little story, but really, it's anything but.

Gwen knows the details, but if she's sympathetic and understanding or asks me if I'm all right I might stab her with something, and that's a habit that won't have ended well for me one timeline over, so best to skip it entirely.

All of which is a long-winded way of asking if you can spare the emotional energy to talk.

Over the journals is fine.

It looks like the most recent plague is affecting shapeshifters -- they get stuck in one form and fall ill. Considering the Biblical version killed off a good portion of the livestock, if you know any shapeshifters, this would be a very good time to find them and make sure they're receiving some form of medical care.

I'm looking for Luke. I don't know both of his shifter forms, but one of them's a kitten, so if you find that kitten or any other animal you don't recognise, please get him to either Juliet or Owen and then let me know you've found him.

Juliet, Owen, sorry for volunteering you, but for all that neither of you is trained in veterinary medicine, we don't have someone that is, so you're the next best thing.

Remember what I said, Julian. If you die first, I will be VERY PISSED OFF.

Please just let me know you're all right. I know you're not in a form that can WRITE today, but please, when you get through this, LET ME KNOW.

I ran into Time Agent 462O1 (currently Jason Randall) today. I still don't consider him a threat, even in the face of extreme emotional stress, which he & I were both subjected to.

He was, however, in the general area of the Kashtta. I recommend keeping a close watch on the area, in case there are any further signs of trouble. While my personal estimation remains unchanged, I don't think any of us want to risk the possibility that I may be wrong.

Currently, he seems v. conflicted, torn between the impulses and modes of behaviour associated with John Thane, and those of Jack Harkness. This is causing a great deal of emotional distress, as neither identity fits, & both are @ odds w/ each other when it comes to interacting w/ us, or the world in general.

I suspect part of him wants to make contact w/ us, as all the previous emotional baggage is still there, but he's prevented from doing so by the conviction that we would try to push him back into the role of Jack Harkness, which he quite emphatically doesn't want. I gave him the option to walk away or to talk, & he chose to stay & talk w/ me for some time, before the situation became emotionally volatile & we went our separate ways.

He appears to be a shapeshifter now, poss. related to the changes in Rift alterations which happened some time ago. I'm not sure of his forms: he went part way into the shift & then was talked back down.

Also learnt that he's the one who sent Luke our way -- Luke recognised him as Jack, &, unable to help him (& obv. feeling some distress over encountering expectations based on his prev. identity), he sent him to us, & seemed genuinely concerned when asking after him.

Julian, I

Could you come by my room?

I think I need

I'd appreciate it.

The multiverse-spanning Suzie playlist, for the many, many facets of a rather complex, broken, and still very dangerous woman.

( 70 songs )

The following people have contributed songs: aguynamedgoo, allfireburns, draegonhawke, starletfallen.

Time Agent 462O1: first introduced to Suzie as Jack Harkness, later to be known as John Thane, Judas Reyc, and Jason Randall. Their relationship is just as complicated as his identity, and it's taken on several permutations based on J--'s persona and mental state at the time.

...In short, it's complicated.

Songs designated by who in J--'s head they apply to.

( 48 songs in varying stages of dysfunction )

Time Agent 462O1, a.k.a. J-- (hey_capn_jack/john_thane) is played by the source of ultimate awesomeness, better known as magi (draegonhawke) at Beyond the Rift.

The following people have contributed songs: allfireburns, draegonhawke, kawaiispinel, starletfallen.

A Time Lord who, in another universe, might have been the Master. A broken and suspicious woman, with the ability to get past most of his defenses. An unlikely friendship.

A playlist.

The Vesmier (the_vesmier) is played by magi (draegonhawke) at Beyond the Rift.

[[This extends to both BTR and AA universes (and that took some doing, making this work for two VERY DIFFERENT Jacks), in the form of a sheaf of papers hidden away in Suzie's room. People with the opportunity to search her room in either 'verse may just find it in-game. This is shamelessly ripped off from based on this -- much better! -- fic (IT IS AWESOME! GO READ IT NOW!), but I wanted to see where my AU!Suzie would go with a chance to unburden herself in writing, and how it would play out compared to the confessions of canon!Suzie.]]
