So, as of this OOM, Jack Driscoll is retired. If you look at the time stamps and today's date, you will notice I was awfully slow in posting this. This is because I suck at endings and, quite obviously, didn't want to let go of Jack yet, even though he was sitting on the shelf, collecting dust, not being played. Yes, yes, I'm aware of how sappy this sounds, but Jack Driscoll was a character who really defined part of my stint at Milliways, who inspired a lot of satisfying creativity and let me meet and thread with a bunch of awesome people, including someone I had known before but had fallen out of contact with. A pup who makes you friends and who makes you satisfied as a writer is not a pup so easily given up, but it was time.
Thank you to every single last person who's ever threaded with Jack. He wouldn't have been half as fun to play if no one played with him; his stories wouldn't have been as interesting if he was the only star. I want to specially thank Ramen, who played such a hilarious and IC Carl Denham; Esther, for being the other, talented half of the shipwreck known as Jack/Satine; Katl for giving Jack the unlikely faux-sibling Mary Anne Bell; Ven, for the fox's soothing cute!therapy; and, lastly but not leastly, Adiva, for Ann. 'nuff said!
I'll still be around, of course. I still havemy two knuckleheads James Bond and Simon Skinner to run into the ground, as well as other pups, but I won't have Jack. So it goes.

Fox sends lickings.
And probably dead mice, but only because he loves Jack.
