[OTA] Amazing Organ

[st_illfleshandblood]

Jackson was, as often at this hour (unless he had plans with Corbie), at the bar, and well on his way to completely sozzled. He would have sworn up and down that he could still walk in a straight line, if asked, but the truth was that that line would have to be a little squiggly in places. But his Virginia drawl was more pronounced than usual, and he was at that energetic, talking-too-much stage where everybody nearby might be treated as a friend, no matter what his relation to them were, if they even had one.

"We don't talk about it often enough," he told the next such person his eyes landed on, without so much as a hello, "but the clitoris is, by far, the best organ in the entire human body. 'd ya know it's the only organ, the only one, that serves no purpose but pleasure? That's just..." His hands moved in the air as he looked for the right word, narrowly avoiding splashing bourbon with the one still holding a glass. "That's amazin'. Twice as many nerve endings as in a penis, too. Just picture that amount of pleasure. Men got played."

Perfectly respectable conversation to have with anyone, after ingesting as much bourbon as he had. Perfectly. Respectable.

Bo and Jackson

[st_unaligned]

Bo leaned on the counter, subsequently giving Jackson a good view of her chest, though she wasn't necessarily thinking of that - Bo was mostly amused at this sudden line of reasoning.

"Can't say I argue with you. It's my favourite part of the body too. Both on me and on other people." She waggled her eyebrows at him.

Bo and Jackson

[st_illfleshandblood]

Bo might not be thinking of that, but Jackson's gaze dipped appropriately when she leaned forward. He looked up just in time to catch that eyebrow waggle, and raised his glass again to point a finger at her. "I thought you might agree. You're that kind of smart. And you got one!"

Re: Bo and Jackson

[st_unaligned]

"I sure do, and I'm not afraid to use it." Like it was some sort of weapon or something. "What's made you think of it all of a sudden?"

Re: Bo and Jackson

[st_illfleshandblood]

"I don't need a reason to think about it," Jackson pointed out, then belatedly clocked on to what he should've answered. He smirked at her. "But maybe you inspired me."

Jackson/Connor

[st_abilitylost]

Connor was seated at the bar to collect his thoughts, as he so often did lately. There was no good reason for it, but it was a setting that had grown familiar throughout his short 'life' as it were. The sudden solicitation for bawdy conversation, however, was...new.

"I can't say I would know."

Jackson/Connor

[st_illfleshandblood]

That got Jackson to blink, in order to better focus on the other fellow. Young looking, for sure. Very neatly put together. Did he mean he wouldn't know because he didn't have one, or he wouldn't know because he'd never been introduced to one? Jackson eyed him a beat longer, then asked, "Virgin or nancy?"

Re: Jackson/Connor

[st_abilitylost]

"Android." Connor informed this resident in a straight-forward manner, tapping the counter quietly in lieu of a glass to pass back and forth.

Re: Jackson/Connor

[st_illfleshandblood]

"Android," Jackson echoed, brow knitting over. If that was supposed to clear things up, it didn't.

Jackson & Snow

[st_arkcrowblack]

Snow White as a general rule didn't much bother with Jackson. A girl really only needed someone to laugh at her name once before she knew he should rightly go fuck himself with a rusty screwdriver. But most days if she wanted a drink, she could drink in peace. He wasn't so clueless as to keep engaging her when she didn't respond.

Today, though. She hadn't choked on whiskey since she was fifteen, but she did right then, staring at him through her spluttering as phantom pain flared between her legs. "What?"

Re: Jackson & Snow

[st_illfleshandblood]

Well now, Jackson hadn't expected that reaction. He stared at her in confusion for a couple of seconds, then said, in very earnest concern, "Darlin', please tell me you know what I'm talkin' about."

Re: Jackson & Snow

[st_arkcrowblack]

The milk baths had started when Snow was still very young, not long after Mrs. H had married her father. Her stepmother had told her that she could teach this little animal that she'd unknowingly agreed to mother how to be a woman--meaning, of course, a white woman. And to wash the Indian out of her, every Sunday Mrs. H put Snow in the milk. It was always cold, so cold it hurt like lye. So cold she thought she'd die in it. And then Mrs H would added ice and made Snow hold it. In her mouth and elsewhere.

Snow still couldn't drink milk.

"I ain't confused," she snarled.

Re: Jackson & Snow

[st_illfleshandblood]

Jackson wasn't quite drunk enough that his survival instinct had turned off, so he knew something was wrong, by now. Severely wrong. However, he was absolutely drunk enough to think that he could handle whatever was wrong. "Was somethin' done to you?"

[st_ockandbarrel]

Percy and Elaina had decided to take a little walk. It was becoming a bit of a tradition, these little father/daughter strolls through the inn, where Percy would tell her about the things that she was watching with her big dark eyes.

As they walked into the bar from the lobby, Jackson's voice raised up along with his glass.

"Twice as many nerve endings as in a penis, too. Just picture that amount of pleasure. Men got played."

Percy immediately clapped his hands over Elaina's tiny pointed ears and glared at Vex's doctor. Then he turned on his heel and walked out. His daughter didn't need to hear that kind of talk for at least 18 years. Or better, 30.

Jackson & Sunny

[st_igmatized]

Sunny could not believe this was happening and all she could do while Jackson rambled at her about female genitalia was stare open-mouthed and feel her cheeks start to go pink. Any ghost of a blush burned bright on her face and she hated it, but it wasn't like she could stop herself from doing it.

I just came for water, what even is today.

Eventually she managed to set the bottle down and a look that wasn't naked shock--though the best it seemed she could do was deeply puzzled. With a clear undertone of What are you doing? she replied, "Yes man I am in no way intimate with who is verging on old enough to be my dad, I do indeed possess a miracle organ."

Re: Jackson & Sunny

[st_illfleshandblood]

Jackson paused, focused on the end of what she'd said there, and pursed his lips with an approving nod. "Not a bad name for it. Better'n bald man in a boat."

Re: Jackson & Sunny

[st_igmatized]

Sunny was starting to be to think that this was going to involve all the possible ways her face could contort. "Oh God, please tell me you don't call it that."

Re: Jackson & Sunny

[st_illfleshandblood]

"I don't make a habit of it, no," Jackson replied. Although he clearly called it that sometimes. Case in point.

Coby & Jackson

[st_rummer]

Coby hadn't been at the bar quite as long as Jackson, or knocking them back as quickly, but he'd had enough rum to feel warm and relaxed along the edges. Just buzzed enough he might not think right away the bar maybe wasn't the usual place for the sort of ruminations Jackson was sharing with the room and everyone in it.

"You are not wrong." Coby paused. Thought. Pointed with the hand still holding his glass. "Except maybe the part about men getting played."

Re: Coby & Jackson

[st_illfleshandblood]

"Twice as many," was all Jackson had to reply to that.

Re: Coby & Jackson

[st_rummer]

"Yeah, yeah. If you're gonna be all selfish about it." Based on Coby's admittedly limited experience, he didn't think any unselfishness on Jackson's part had simply been taking care of the birthday girl.

"Besides. I don't know about you, but I do all right with what I've got, even if that's half as many nerve endings as some people."

Re: Coby & Jackson

[st_illfleshandblood]

"I don't think I'd wanna please 'em any less if I had as many nerve endings," Jackson pointed out. Nothing to do with selfishness. He got off on pleasing them far too much for that.

Lillith & Jackson

[st_rangepalette]

Lillith sat several seats over, drinking down champagne like it was water. It was that or find new magical projects for herself. What she had now took her maybe two hours in a day. And she could only spend so much time painting and drawing. They didn't have that much in the way of materials.

So she drank and didn't think about baby twins she'd never meet, or the cousin she missed, or Kash. She tried not to think about Beatrycz, or the fact she was trapped and not all the learning she had acquired could do a damned thing about it.

Which, in hindsight, was probably why she started listening to Captain Jackson. At first, she didn't make much sense of what he was saying. But then she did, and her brows drew together under her horn-ridge. Was he really...he was!

Lillith tilted her head and smiled, a little pink-cheeked but mostly bemused. "Is it women you like or just clitorises?"

Re: Lillith & Jackson

[st_illfleshandblood]

"Both, darlin'," Jackson answered emphatically, and without so much as a hint of doubt.

Re: Lillith & Jackson

[st_rangepalette]

"Oh," Lillith replied, perhaps a little drunk and definitely taken aback by the certainty with which he said it. "Okay. Well, I suppose that's a good thing, since they go together."

She smiled then and took a sip of her champagne. It occurred to her then to ask, "Did something happen that I missed or were you just feeling the need to sing their...our..." A bemused frown as language skipped away from her for a moment. "Clitoris's praises?"

Re: Lillith & Jackson

[st_illfleshandblood]

"It's a wonderful organ," Jackson replied with a smile, "and people don't acknowledge that enough. I think that's reason enough to sing its praises every damn day."
