[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.

[At that point, he'll improvise. Threats of physical harm usually do the trick, but who knows.]

You're the popular one of the two of us, Captain. I should think I'm the one taking up your time, rather than the other way around.

[Won't know until you try.

I've got a couple appointments, you, presumably, have some kind of life here.

And here I thought you'd jump on that temporary out. Admit it - you're enjoying this despite yourself.

[This one's going to test him.]

You're more entertainment than I've had for some time.

But seeing as there's some intent to preserve mystery, I can go about my daily existence once again.

[Not 'life'. What he has here isn't a life, or at the very least he doesn't want it to be.]

Re: video;

[wellhello]

[Yeah, he can have that effect on people.]

And I'm just getting started.

[His smile is a little easier.]

Already looking forward to next time.

[There's a wink, and something of a mock salute before the video ends.]
