[The video feed pops on to the sight of a dashing- if he might say so himself- man in his seeming mid-thirties, grinning widely at the camera; he has a somewhat period look about him, dressed in a button up, suspenders, and a greatcoat that speaks of war, but there's a spark in his gaze that speaks of mischief. After all, he's taken some time to read through recent activity on the network, and he's come across one very familiar name. It's a name he had not expected to hear again for some time, but if the tone of his voice when he calls it out is any indication, he's not disappointed in the least.]

Rose Tyler: what's a beautiful girl like you doing stuck in a place like this? [Jack gives a cheerful laugh, his grin stretching wide across his face.] It's been awhile. What do you say, you, me, a little celebration for our reunion?

[His eyes all but twinkle, and then he speaks again, addressing not Rose this time, but everyone else.] As for the rest of you; Captain Jack Harkness. [One hand raises in a half salute.] At your service. I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to meet each and every one of you. Until then, I'd love to hear more about this place, this- "In Between" business.

Even with the wind? [He's genuinely curious; after all, it's not often you meet a girl who might be able to fly without a plane.]

The wind? [ The wind hardly makes a noise, compared to everything else - oh yeah there's also that. ]

Oh, normally under a yellow sun I have enhanced hearing. I can hear just about everything happening on the turtle all at once. It's... overwhelming, sometimes, but in the sky it's easier to focus on just the things around me.

[Ouch. He's never had any kind of enhanced hearing, but he can imagine it's tough.] I can't say I envy you the hearing. From the way you phrased that, I take it you're hearing diminished when your ability to fly did?

[OOC: I am so sorry!!!!!]

[ It was awful when it first kicked in. But then so was the laser vision and the x-ray vision. ]

Yeah. Everything's... normal. As normal as it's been since I woke up on Earth, anyway.

[ooc | no worries ;9 ]

Where are you from originally, if you don't mind me asking? I don't think I've heard of anyone with abilities activated by a yellow sun before.

I'm from Argo, on Krypton. We were never able to master space travel, so it isn't surprising if you haven't heard of it.

But you ended up on Earth, somehow? [He pauses. The details don't spell out a happy tale, and he decides to let it go.] And then you landed here. I'm sorry to hear that.

Yes, I was sent there. [ WITHOUT HER PERMISSION. ] Although I'm not sure my pod was meant to crash...

Anyway, I like it here, so that was lucky.

Crash landings are never what they're cracked up to be, and never nearly as neat as you'd like them to be.

[And then, he switches tactics, grasping onto the lighter sentiment of her latter comment.] But at least there's one bright spot, and that's getting to meet such a fascinating, lovely young woman like yourself.

[ The joke earns a light chuckle and a warm smile. She does like him. Apparently flattery really will take you places. ]

I bet you say that to everyone.

[Grin.] I'm wounded; I would never give an undeserved compliment.

That's quite the statement. Or is it that I'm fascinating that makes me deserving of compliment?
