What webs we weave [Sawyer/Jaz]

[Jaz]

"People will notice doesn't mean they will find us" she said."You don't belive in it? Ok tell me what was that thing that cut down the trees? I heard it, once. I was coming around, it can't have been that far away, man it was loud like a huge machine sound" she mused.

What was it? It was a good question. Nothing that big could hide on this island, it had to be big to cause damage. And yet, she had seen wild bore. Why hadn't it killed them? Maybe it was ony humans? If it was a machine, someone had to be controlling it. It couldn't be an animal? No, unless.... "You know I don't think it's a monster. I think it's a machine. I mean what could be that big?". She sighed, she hated being left in the dark, no knowing. She needed to know! She could go look for it. Not like anyone would let her. She could go by herself. Try find it?

((Outlaws? What's that?))

[Sawyer]

He'd heard the thing too, though he didn't want to admit it. Heard what it'd done to the pilot... and he'd faced it down when the other started running, out on that stupid trek. Well, not it. A polar bear... And while he knew it couldn't be that causing all the madness it was as good an explanation as any, and one he wanted to hang onto. A polar bear he's seen lying dead by his hand, touched and known it was real, he could believe in. An invisible 10-story tall beast, which ripped up trees and catapulted men 40 feet in the air, now that was just stupid.

((yes, he's just thinking. Sorry I haven't given you much to work with, feel free to take the convo where you want. Outlaws is the episode where Sawyer thinks the boar is out to get him))

[Jaz]

(( oh man....ill try a good post lol))

Jaz watched him. Maybe he was one of those see it to belive it people. She glanced around. Most people were settling down for the night She shivered, she hated the dark. 21 and afraid of the dark, sad wasn't it? But she couldn't help it, she had a big imagination. "Wait a minute" Jaz said suddenly "It must be a machine, I mean what distorys things but doesn't eat it? No animal kills something then leaves it" she said. She looked back at Sawyer and grinned "Ok I'll drop that now"

[Sawyer]

He grinned back. " 'S probably best..."

Sawyer ran a hand through his hair... Her dropping the whol' monster thing was good, sure, since if she kept throwing logical arguments like that at him he'd probably end up convincing himself of its existance like the rest of them.. and for someone whose existence and sanity depended on finding stuff other people missed (like, for instance, stuff hidden in a dark, mysterious jungle) suddenly developing a fear of invisible beasts was a bit of a problem. Well, that was the reason he'd admit to... the real reason, he knew, was that he couldn't admit to believing in anything like that.

It did leave a bit of a hole in the conversation, though... He tossed a few ideas around, trying to work out what to say next. Well, she'd asked what he did... and, even if he hadn't been completely honest with her, it was only fair she returned the favour. "So.. what d'you do back in 'the real world'?" Sawyer flashed her an unusually charming grin, figuring he might have pissed her off with his cynicism.

"Ah'm figuring....." he stretched back, playing casual "Actress, or model, or somethin'."

[Jaz]

Jaz hung her head, flushing a deep red. "Model, and singer part time" she said softly. He must have noticed. SHe always sat straight, shoulders back. She always looked like she could be posing for a photo. It came so naturally.

"Sung at Nightclubs every weekend, modeled every other day" she said with a shy smile. Jaz could sing, but hated singing for people. The only reason she sun at nightclubs was because people were to busy dancing they didn't notice her and normally it was dark and hard to see people. She lay down, leaning on her elbows. She looked at herself, feeling ashamed. Some people would think she's showing off, having what some people said was a 'perfect body'. She wasn't it was just her! Why couldn't people see that? She sighed, chewing her gum, watching Sawyer with a sheepish smile.

((gah sorry just went swimming then had tea played with fireworks (sparklers) and had a mini water fight, i'm kinda tried ))

[Sawyer]

Sawyer looked at her sidelong, his face breaking into another grin. "No kiddin'..."

Okay, so some part of him must have thought it to have suggested it, but really.. a model? Shedidn't seem the type. Shannon, maybe, sitting and painting her nails amidst the chaos... but Jaz? Hell, she just seemed too.. real. Maybe he'd read her wrong, but he doubted it.

((bla.. I'm just plain tired. No such fun reason))

[Jaz]

"What's that look for" she asked, smirking, he had that surprised look on his face. She crossed her arms "Arn't I snobby enough?" she asked. Unlike Shannon, Jaz was much less likely to sit painting her nails when they had just crashed on an island.

"You don't think I would cut it as a model do you?" she snapped, rather angrer than she ment to. Gosh this annoyed her. Why did people judge her. She folded her arms, tossing her hair angrily over her shoulder. She had got a bit worked up, sure, but this was Jaz


((just found out I have an allergic reaction to...something lol but no one knows what it could be ))

[Sawyer]

Oh... she was pissed. That was interesting.

"Hey!" He threw his hands up in mock defense, laughing "Calm down, 'sickle.. Ah never said that... Matter of fact, ah think you'd be.." He stopped short. What should he say, that wouldn't insult her further, but also wouldn't seem crude, desperate, insincere...? Sawyer was starting to remember some of the many reasons he avoided people... "... perfect" He grinned again, tossed his hair back off his face in a gently mocking parody of her own gesture, and pulled another cigarette out. Hell, this was complicated...

((yeesh!))

[Jaz]

"Git" she muttered angrily. Jaz always had this problem. She had the tendancy to change moods rather quickly. She turned slightly away from him, singing ever so softly to herself "Close every door to me, hid all the world from me. Bar all the windows and shut out the light"

She was in a bad mood now, thanks to Sawyer. She cracked her knuckles yet again, her eyes glittering in the fire light. She turned to see him smoking again, well had a cigarette at any rate. "Shouldn't smoke, you should drink tar, does just as much damage but kills you quicker" she snapped, pulling out another stick of chewing gum and popping it in her mouth.

((lol here she goes again...))

[Sawyer]

((this could get interesting...))

Sawyer looked at her sidelong for a moment, just long enough for her to think he gave a damn and was going to say as much, and turned back away. He lit up, leant back, and exhaled the smoke into the night sky...

((well, you're in the same place as Jaz... nothing to react to, except that he hasn't done anything....))

[Jaz]

((dam ok lets think...*thinks*))

Jaz closed her eyes breathing deeply. She had lost it again. She hadn't ment to do that, she just kinda lost her whole nice kid personality. "Sorry" she muttered, haning her head as to not meet his eyes.

But one side of Jaz was waiting for him to trust her, belive her, then react. One side wanted to toy with him, make him belive she was to good, that she wouldn't do anything wrong. It wouldn't be easy, Sawyer wasn't a very beliving person she noticed, but with time it might work

((ok sorry had nothing to write lol))

[Sawyer]

((it's fine... I'm just getting too much into the whole 'pissing people off' thing that Sawyer does..))

Sawyer still didn't say anything.. if she was going to be a firecracker, he'd just be.. numb, since that always seemed to stump people. If you turned round, started screaming, then sometimes it worked. But if you just stayed mute, didn't flash any discernable emotion, then it worked so much better... because people don't know how to react.

He shrugged, and took another drag on his cigarette, trying to enjoy it...

[Jaz]

((ahh you did it again. Ok i got one))

"Sawyer. Why do you call me sicklestick?" Jaz said suddenly. Ok he was probably gonna get really angry soon, but she had to know. The meaning was well there was a long list of meanings. She sighed unhappily, wrapping her arms tighter around her right leg.

It was dark now. She felt slightly sad, because half the reason she was with Sawyer was because he made her feel safe. She felt like he was stronger than anyone else, strong enough to protect her. Not like anyone was going to hurt her, unless you count herself that it. Her mind did serious damage to her sometimes. She saw things that were never there, thought someone was following her but they wern't. She was crazy

((I had a huge urge to make her start seeing things lol))

[Sawyer]

((hey, s'okay... I mean, Sawyer's gonna start hearing things eventually... And it's gonna make things interesting, that's for sure))

Sawyer glanced over at her, his grin evolving into a slow, but never the less full, laugh. The stupid nickname was, surely, his one true skill. "S' short for Popsickle.. Popsickle-stick, as in those.." He tried hard not to glance down as he spoke the next bit, knowing that it was already seedy enough without him 'coppng a peek' as well. Hopefully another grin would be enough to abate her rage "... charming legs of yours.."

((well, there y'go))

[Jaz]

((haha I think I'll make her see something lol))

Jaz raised an eyebrow, her face flushing red "I'm not sure how to take that" she said. "But thanks I guess" she replyed. She felt slightly confused. Should she be angry or pleased? She stretched out, looking at the wound in her leg. She hoped it would get better soon. She had lost alot of blood.

She turned her head sharply a she heard something. "Did you hear that?" she said softly, staring into the darkness. She could have sworn. No, she was being stupid. But she could have sworn she had heard something. A child, crying, whispering softly. "I think I'm going crazy" she said. She turned her head back to Sawyer 'Your hearing things' she thought to herself.

((Lol she's seeing the scary kid from Doctor Who lol))
