Sally had told herself to get ready earlier, and usually, she was on top of her game with that sort of thing. But it had turned 6:45 and she was...well, she needed at least a half hour to get ready.

She had just slipped into her rather vintage-looking dress when she hears a knock on the door, and there's a slight curse, wondering if she didn't rush too much and looked the part. Her make-up was done, her hair neatly curled, but she still felt like she was only half ready.

Nevertheless, she preps herself with a dazzling smile, as though she hadn't been rushing through dress up minutes before, and she opens the door. "It's been so long since I've had a caller."

She's looking at him up and down, and she is certainly impressed by his attire and well, overall appearance. What a handsome man.

"I told you I'd sweep you off your feet, didn't I?" Jack smiles back at her, equally dazzling. Needless to say, he approves of the dress. And the woman in it.

"Are you ready, or do you still need a few minutes yet?"

not_polish August 14 2011, 06:12:04 UTC

She finds herself touching at her hair, flattered by his looking at her. "I never doubted you for a second, hon."

There's a slight smoothing of the dress, and while half of her does feel self-conscious simply due to the fact that she had rushed to get changed, the other half was feigned. All for show.

"Do I look ready? An' be honest, honey. None of that 'you look good' shit unless you really mean it."

"Good. I do keep my word. Usually." That smile turns into a bit of a cheeky smirk, and he pauses to give her another once over. After all, she'd asked his opinion, hadn't she?

"You look beautiful, Miss Jupiter," he replies, and it is entirely honest. "And I do really mean it."

Sally laughs, and heads back in for a second to grab her handbag and keys to her apartment. "As long as you mean it," she turns to lock it up, and returns to facing Jack.

"If I find out you're lying, this will be the last time I let you take me out." Her voice is playful and flirtatious however. "So, lead the way, hon."

"Alright, we're off to Manhattan, then," he says cheerfully, and pauses to offer her his arm.

"There's dinner at the club, if you're hungry," he adds, with a little smile. "And the car's a bit small, sorry, but it's at least safer with me driving than it would be with the Doctor."

not_polish August 18 2011, 04:42:25 UTC

She pauses a moment at his offered arm. She never liked appearing over eager, it would give her the image of being easy and lord knows she didn't want that. But she took it gladly and casually pulls herself a little closer towards him.

It was nice having friendly physical contact. Brought her back to when she actually went out on a date or two.

"Oh, I don't mind small cars. They're much more cozier." Some more friendly flirtation, and again she smiles. "...The Doctor?"

comesback August 21 2011, 09:19:49 UTC

"Mm, friend and roommate." Jack shrugs a bit and leads her down to the car. His hand stays at her waist -- for now, he is going to play the perfect gentleman.

"He was the one who threw the Fourth of July party with me, a while back."

"Shame I had to miss it." She remains at his side. For the most part, it hadn't been too hard for her to find gentlemen in the city, despite this being a decade of men who liked showing their underwear off more than their manners. The strangest thing was, this time around, men were more willing to pay for her drinks and meals than usual, but it didn't strike her as there being something off.

She assumed it was because she just happened to run into more men who appreciate charming women such as herself.

"He sounds like quite a good friend."

comesback August 23 2011, 18:15:18 UTC

"It is," Jack agrees. "We had dancing and fireworks and a pool for the kids, it was a great party." Soon enough, they're off and driving to the club. Luckily, Jack intends to keep the conversation afloat, and quirks an eyebrow at Sally when they're paused at a stoplight.

"He is, but we're not --" A little pause. "I was a travelling companion of his, at home. We're roommates here, along with Ian."

not_polish August 23 2011, 19:43:06 UTC

Good, because Sally would have felt as though it were her fault had the ride to the club been silent.

She pats his leg, laughing at his pause. "I figured as much, hon. I know the difference between friends an' more, y'know."

It's her turn to pause, and her focus remains on him. "Did you travel often back where you're from?"

comesback August 24 2011, 02:30:42 UTC

It wouldn't have been, anyway, Jack is a gentleman.

"Good. He's not interested in me like that, anyway," Jack replies, far too lightly.

But now's hardly the time for that, so he continues. "I did, yeah," he says, nodding. "With the Doctor for about -- three or four months, I guess? And all over the place before that."

not_polish August 24 2011, 02:53:48 UTC

"Now who on earth could resist someone like you?" She laughs, crossing her legs slightly as she allows herself to bump a shoulder up against him.

"Wow! For that long?" She seems genuinely intrigued. "I did my fair share of travelin', but never for that long. Where'd you guys go?"

comesback August 25 2011, 17:52:31 UTC

"Well, he's not from Earth, so I suppose it's pretty easy." He gives her a cheeky grin and a little nudge in return.

"Places you've probably never heard of. A planet called Raxicoricofallipatiorius, we went to Tokyo in the 1600s..."

not_polish August 26 2011, 05:18:25 UTC

Sally's been in this dimension more than enough times to not be entirely phased by the idea of aliens and space travel. But nevertheless, her face conveys a surprised expression.

Especially at the time travel...though again, having been brought from the 1950s to this entirely new century should render such an idea plausible.

"An' here I've always dreamed of going to France..." Another laugh. "Now that just sounds like a dull traveling idea compared to what you fellas go through with."

comesback August 26 2011, 07:27:03 UTC

Well, Jack's a time agent. Or he was one, in any case. These things are completely natural to him. (Also, he enjoys the reactions he gets when he tells people, but that's another thing entirely.)

"Oh, I don't know, France has its' merits." He grins at her. "Paris is lovely, but less so during the Revolution. Maybe I'll take you there someday."
