[Console; Video] Fresh Meat

[wellhello]

[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.

[ Her smile is cryptic, and old at the same time. ]

That depends, darling. Do you really want us to slow down?

[ Her eyebrow arches, playfully. ]

[wellhello]

Never. [Jack tells her without hesitation, mischief in his eyes and his smile.]

I was just going to say if so, this is starting to look like my kind of place.

[celticromanstone]

Well, we do have those who have no interest in even flirting. I despair of them.

[ Devin, she's thinking of you. ]

However, you'll find that I'm not one of them. I enjoy a good, hard flirt now and again.

[ Is she still talking about flirting? Probably not. ]

[wellhello]

You get a few of those no matter where you go. I've learned not to take it personally.

[And he seems to have been doing pretty well since he got there.]

Good to know I haven't been seeing things. That makes two of us, by the way. But don't worry - I can absolutely give as good as I can get.

[celticromanstone]

Can you darling? That will make my time here a bit better, I can assure you.

[ She leads him through the streets, heading for the hotel. ]

Now, my dear Captain, why don't you tell me how you ended up here?

[wellhello]

Then I'm glad to hear it.

[He kept an eye on their surroundings, even while making sure to watch her. All the better to learn the layout of the place - and she, honestly, was as fun to look at as to flirt with.]

Didn't know there was a how. I'd just been left behind by my friends, headed out to find them and... [Jack shrugs, animatedly.] Woke up in something that wasn't lettuce.
