[It's been one hundred and sixty-three years to the day that Jack obtained statehood. One hundred and sixty-two years prior, he hardly guessed he would get this far. Of course, he hasn't celebrated it every year, and he doesn't know if being in HQ for this one makes it any different. After all, he figured that if a cupcake costs an average $1.99 at a grocery store (plus sales tax, but he'll round it to $2.00 even), he would have wasted $326 in the past one hundred and sixty-three years on cupcakes. Thus, he finds it a little bit useless to celebrate.

Even if he thinks that way, he managed to find a cupcake on his end table this morning with a lovely little note from HQ wishing him a happy one hundred sixty third, and hopefully another one hundred and sixty-three to come. Obviously, he can't waste a perfectly good cupcake.

So yes, Happy Birthday, Jack. :)

Ah... No. Not really. I was... just figuring - figurin' it was your statehood I ... might as well send a gift to my neighbor... [ A long pause. He was missing something. Something he forgot. ]

Ya know? [ There we go. ]

Um... well... I guess that'd be alright to do... ?

[ He slowly nods, it seems so delayed in his strange daze. The man walks in carrying the boxes - looking for a place to put the gifts. While it's obvious to tell the first two are food, the box at the bottom is something else entirely.

In a strange way, he seems distracted.

Ya need to sit down or something? Ya don't look so good.

[ He finally finds a nice table to place the gifts on. He stares blankly at it for a moment, before he looks back to Jack and slowly nods. ] ... Oh... I suppose...


[ Trying to look for a place to sit now, how about this chair? He will do that. ]

[ He is staring at the gifts every so often, then at his hands - moving them slowly. ]

...Yeah. That'd be nice.

[ He slowly takes the cup of coffee - taking very small sips of it. His hands are shaking. ]

... Ya really think so? [ It seemed like an actual question - this is probably what was most unnerving. ]

What, ya didn't think it was?

[ He stares back at the coffee, drinking some more - he's gripping tighter to the cup as he drinks it. For stability. ]

... Well, I know it was I just... sometimes don't know your likes and dislikes ... Ya know? [ Needless. ]

Oh, well... [] Yeah, it's nice. Honestly, it is.

From: [identity profile] badgerbadassus.livejournal.com
Oh... okay.

[ He stares at the floor for about ten seconds, and looks at Jack again after he took another sip. ] Are...ya gonna open the gift I gave ya?

[ What he finds inside isn't fairly out of the ordinary at all. Just a Hawkeyes hoodie, a hammer, some random sippy cups, and slippeers (http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/8959/ff233498s.jpg).

It's a strange array of things obviously, but they're all oddly enough Hawkeyes related.

[ He notices the expression, and doesn't say a single word - continuing to nervously crack his fingers loudly. ]

Yeah, like I said, it was very thoughtful of ya. I like it.

[ He seems to even bend his fingers back as he cracks them, nervous - it looks painful. But it's a nasty habit he is unable to stop - it's like he's unconciously doing it. ]

That's ... good. I'm glad ya like it enough.
