This sucks.
This sucks giant hairy bullymong balls. Jack had really cared about Manaka. She was the perfect little princess. She'd taken care of him when he needed it, let him take care of her, appreciated all he did for her... He misses her. He misses having her around, knowing she's there, knowing whenever he's feeling down or just has a dumb joke he needs to share, she'd be there.
He used to have that with Angel, but everything's been all messed up since she came here. It's only sometimes like that, good, how it ought to be. And yeah, yeah, he's kind of taken in a couple other kids, but it's not like it had been with Manaka. She may as well have been as much his flesh and blood daughter as Angel. She'd even taken after him more than Angel does - though he won't be swayed from his opinion that Angel is a lot more like him than she'll admit.
But he's got to try and look at this as a positive thing. Okay, Manaka's gone back home. She could come back, people do that. And hey, look at everybody who's come to make sure he's okay! He's got a hell of a family here. Which is why he's got the grill going and the pool heated up and a casual little 'party' going on in the backyard. May as well, before he gets rid of this house and moves on to somewhere better.
He himself is just lounging in a T-shirt and jeans and sneakers on a lounge chair, with a bottle of beer, watching over the festivities and feeling like King of the Castle. That, at least, is a good feeling. He's on his way up again. And he's got way better help this time, than he did when he started in Hyperion. He's got Nisha and Felix, he's got the kids...
They'll surely be running Team Rocket in a handful of years!

Okay so..there might have been details he was leaving out but Jack didn't need to worry about that. Just because the X-Blade hadn't been forged and Vanitas had faded away didn't mean they lost. Everything else had gone according to plan.
Not his plan but..well. Shit happens.
"I wouldn't want you to strain yourself," Vanitas drawled, amused by this entire thing; by the fact that Jack was so sure of himself. It made his ego look great in comparison.
no subject
"Oh, so now you're trying to back out? Put your money where your mouth is, kiddo. I'm willing to."
To emphasize his point, Jack sets aside his beer and stands up, rolling his shoulders. He cracks his knuckles, doing it the boxer way, fist in fist.
He's gotta get it where he can, at this point.
no subject
"Yeah, old man, I did make it to the top. Sorry I didn't use small words that you could understand." Yeah he's just being an asshole because he can. You kind of deserve it, Jack.
Resting one hand on his hip he can't help but snort at Jack's preparations, an eyebrow going up as he smirks.
"Come on then."
Let's see what you've got.
no subject
Then Jack rolls his eyes.
"Holy shit, no, not...here, come on, let's move away from the lounge chairs and the grill and over to the open grassy part of the yard." He gestures and then starts stalking off, taking his shirt off as he goes. Whatever, he's at home, half the people here have seen his back already.
"HEY! ME AND VAN ARE GONNA TRY AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER, ANYBODY WANTS TO WATCH!" Yes, Jack announces the bout to everyone at the backyard party. Hey, it's free entertainment!
no subject
Vanitas just let's out a huff of laughter though, sauntering along after Jack as the older man makes his announcement. Scrapper follows on their heels clearly not pleased that her master is going to be fighting when she's suppose to fight for him but there isn't much she can do about it.
Men.

Oh my god, you're serious.
no subject
pffffthahahahaha yeah right.
"Kick his ass, babe!"
no subject
Finally she wanders over to get a better view with a drink in one hand and her pokegear for some good photos.
"I'll put 1000P on the minigoth to win."
no subject
"What's wrong, Pops? Has he not been doing his homework? Vinnie! I know you're hopped up on artificial cheese and Diet Coke right now, but I don't think this'll get you out of being grounded!"
no subject
It's all in good fun. Mostly.
"Besides, he thinks he can kick can my ass!"
