The Great Jack-Off of 2014
Maybe you took the wrong turn in Fort Frolic, and found yourself in 'Gallery of Narcissus' (which is of course a Hall of Mirrors). Or, maybe you're rich enough to have a huge walk-in-closet, and while you walked in looking for the light, you just kept going. Or maybe you lost track of where you were wandering in the haze of an ADAM high.
Or some other reason - it doesn't matter. Because now, Jack, you're wandering through a labyrinth of mirrors, and no matter where you turn, you see your face.
You're pretty sure that's your face. You're pretty sure that's you, but - is it moving the same way you are? Are you sure?
((ooc: SO THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO GO - first comment/tag wherever in a thread, you list your Jack's info in the thread title, NAME / AU / TIMELINE. Example: Jack Wynand - Good End - Post-Game, or Jack Ryan | Batya | Chapter Nine, or Jackie•FemJack Harvester•Neptune's bounty and so on and so forth. Pretty it up as much as you want but have that basic info in there for your first tag so we know what we're working with!
And after that...! Tag around. We don't have to cram up in one thread! Different Jacks could be meeting at different times, form adventuring parties, cross paths with another pack of Jacks, whatever.
For now we're in a standard multiverse meet up kind of thing, but I figure everyone's acquainted, we could start moving to other locations! :D))

Jack | Good End | Just after Fontaine reveal
He is angry, he is on edge, and he is ready to fire at the first moving thing he sees because goddammit his whole life has been a lie and he is fucking pissed about it.]
Jack | Pre-game | Snuck out of the lab before getting fake memories
Not that he expects to see Sisters here - it looked like a fun little attraction to explore, but not somewhere the girls would be found, even if the halls weren't too narrow for their protectors. No, er, 'angels' - not a lot of anyone, really - and between the lighting and the feeling of being surrounded, the maze was kind of unsettling.
So he speculated - just, pure guesswork, here, absolutely.
Even if it was hypothetically unsettling - well, it sure beat the other obstacle courses he's had to run. Actually, it was kind of neat to be able to go through something at his own pace! And while it kind of felt like he was being followed and watched, he wasn't, really. No one timing him, no one marking him, no one waiting at the end to tell him what he did wrong and what to do next time, no one threatening to take his things away for a poor performance! This was actually pretty great, even if he wasn't entirely sure where he was going or if this maze was hypothetically creepy.
He's not actually being watched on all sides, even if it feels like that or if it's what he's used to. That's why he keeps his eyes on the floor more than what's ahead or around him. Because those are reflections, not real people, so he doesn't have to make sure none of them are, say, armed and dangerous! And he certainly wouldn't notice if one of them was wearing a sweater and a bunch of guns instead of the beat up coat and hat he was walking around in!]
oh my god he's so adorable
Hey.
Hey.
[Who the hell are you.]
so innocent
He looks up and then sees that's a gun!!
His first programmed instinct is to immediately dive for cover, but everything is mirrors so it's kind of hard to pick out where to go when he's not looking at the floor. He goes for the next best thing, which is to stumble back the way he came. Except, this is a hall of mirrors, so ducking behind a corner doesn't entirely move him out of sight with the way mirrors reflect off each other. By that same token, though, he can still see the other guy and -
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He knows that face.
okay, gotta think fast:]
Don't shoot!
