[Console; Video] Fresh Meat

[The video opens on a somewhat charming smile. The man in it seems very sure of himself, and utterly unrattled by his new situation.]

Hey. Captain Jack Harkness here, and I've got to say it's a pretty nice turtle you've got. She's not exactly where I was trying to get, but seeing as this place seems short on the killer reality tv shows...pretty minor quibble.

I've already met a few of the locals - thanks again guys, and sorry about those vegetables - but I'm always open to meet more people. Local, not-so-local, I don't really mind either way since it looks like I'll have some free time.

Other than company, all I'm in the market for right now's a job and maybe some tools, if someone's willing to lend them - I have a piece of tech that got broken in transit somehow, and I'd really rather get it back in one piece.

[He raises his left arm to show off a leather cuff with what appears to be a communicator inside. It's been fried.]

I'm sure we can work something out in exchange, I've been told I'm pretty good with my hands.

[He laughs a little, at his joke, and there's a moment of dead air after it. Just when the pause starts to get uncomfortably long he makes a show of clearing his throat.]

And oh, Doctor, Rose? [His smile tightens, just barely. Appears just a bit forced.] If you're out there, looks like I'm alive after all. Which I'm kind of hoping you two didn't know, because seriously? There are much nicer ways to let a guy down.

Hello there, Captain. Unfortunately I don't think..we have any tools- [ that is her and her ..uh.. it's complicated-roommate ]

But I was going to head out to get some supplies, so I could offer to pick up something for you. What do you need? [ A hammer, or a screwdriver or something, right? ]

[Valdis starts up the video, her long, dark hair loose around her shoulders and a slight, amused smile lighting up her fair features.]

And what are your credentials, Captain?

[ The face on the view screen is eighteen, but the eyes are older. But, still, she smiles - coy, inviting. And her accent? Decidedly British. ]

Sorry, darling, I don't believe we have a Doctor Rose here. Have you been shown to the hotel yet?

Hello, Captain!

My name is Sonja. I'm one of the two representatives for the Foreigner's guild here in Keeliai. I might be able to help with the job seeking.

Have you been to the Hotel yet? If you get a chance, come visit me. I do reception and administrative work for the proprietor, Klaus. I'm running a Temp Agency on the side. You can tell me what your qualitifications are.

[Klaus appears on screen. Sorry about the unfortunate expression, that really is just how his face is.]

Greetings, Captain Harkness, and welcome to the city of Keeliai. It's certainly not... [Did this man really just say "killer reality tv show"? Wow. Sounds like someone has been through the wringer.] ...well, what you said. But there has been a recent rash of attacks, so I would advise taking some measure of precaution.

I am Klaus Reinherz, current proprietor of the Midnight Hotel. If you haven't found lodging yet, we have a number of vacancies. And should you require tools, there are a number in the garage for use - though they may not be apt for repairing more advanced technology.

Were you expecting killer reality tv shows?

[Conan was hoping he didn't mean that literally. ]

[Everything seems more or less average. The last message is clearly personal, and clearly meant for someone else, but it pings Raine's curiosity.]

I take it your friends presumed you were dead, then?

[...or perhaps he was dead, and hasn't realized this world lets people continue, yet?]

I'm Raine Sage; I help run the Healers' Guild here.

Welcome to Keeliai, Captain Harkness. [Pepper is smiling broadly. Most newcomers aren't this relaxed when they get here, so the contrast is sort of intriguing. Plus, the guy is seriously charming.] I'm not great with tech, but my best friend Tony is. He has a lab at the College and can probably help you, or at least show you around the tools or whatever.

[Beat.]

I'm... sorry if you're the only one from your world here. It happens to a lot of us. Hopefully, your friends didn't leave you on purpose. They'd be sucky friends if they did.

[ There's a rather sullen man on the screen, sizing Jack up with more than a little bit of disdain, and impatience. ]

Aren't you cheerful. [ And he disapproves, he doesn't even try to hide it. ] What are you a Captain of?

[Have a snarky British vampire who's been watching some of these exchanges with interest.]

Please tell me our air force hasn't sunken so low as to accept Yanks on anything other than an exchange basis, Captain.

Hello, Captain. Anyone given you the rundown yet or still getting greeted?

Yeah, I hear you. I've been dying for some shitty TV.

[Some rather unsubtle flirting from this guy, but as long as he doesn't chase Miles around naked while waving a machete, they'll be okay. Hi there, terrifyingly weird neuroses!]

Hey, Captain. I'm the tech guy. [Someone's probably mentioned him. He's kind of a big deal. (Or he likes to think he is.)]

Come by the college and ask for Tony Stark, I'll fix whatever you've got. I do it all the time for new people – it's kind of an unofficial part of the welcome package.

What kind of work do you do? Are you an engineer? [It sounded like he thought he'd be able to fix the gadget himself, and he said he was good with his hands – maybe a hobbyist, at least, if not a professional. (Innuendo, Tony's head, whooooshhh.)]
