001: Arrival of the Captain

[captain_in_you]

Must have been one hell of a night last night. I don't remember anythi-...

[Rustling sounds and a startled exclamation.] Oh, that's new. Wings, huh? Not exactly the kink I would have picked, but whatever floats your boat. Why mess with perfection, though

[He's just staring at his journal. This new arrival...]

The people who took you aren't going to listen.

[captain_in_you]

[He blinks and pulls the journal out of his pocket... guess this was some sort of messaging system.]

Oh? And who might they be?

[20abyssinian]

Hn. Here's a guide.

[captain_in_you]

That's... quite helpful, thanks.

By the way, I'm Captain Jack Harkness, and you are...?

[captain_in_you]

Suppose I am! Don't know where I'm new to, definitely didn't expect to end up here.

[captain_in_you]

Ah, too bad. Prisoner, huh? You one too?

[lt_linguist]

[That's a hell of a thing to overhear on the journals, even from a New Feather.]

I don't think those who are responsible for bringing you here are all that interested in whether you have fun.

[captain_in_you]

[This is Jack we're talking about. You'll always hear way more than you wanted to know. ♥]

Oh, but they should be. I always have fun, though, especially if everyone's as gorgeous as you, here.

[lt_linguist]

[Oh, it's another of those guys.]

There are lots of attractive people here, most of whom I'm sure you'll have better luck with than with me.

[captain_in_you]

[Oh yes, definitely one of those. In spades.]

You don't know what you're missing. Captain Jack Harkness, and you are...?

[slaying]

We're leagues away from civilization, mister. I'd say don't bother, but that'd make me the mayor of hypocrite-ville.

[Pause.] But, seriously--whips and chains? You do realize these things broadcast publicly, right?

[voice?]

[captain_in_you]

Where are you, then? I'm stuck out here in the woods...

[pause, laughs] Well, I know now. Interested?

[ah yes, sorry--voice!]

[slaying]

The book. It's a whole wacky communication thing. I'm sure you'll catch on fast.

[More pausing.] Really kinda very not interested, thanks. [Except it's all said in a very betraying manner; after all, girl likes her gossip and if we're lead to believe a few lines of dialogue between her and Spike, the occasional handcuffing.]

[voice]

[captain_in_you]

I'm kinda figuring that out. Oh hey, I think I see some houses... good, getting tired of being out here in the snow.

Oh really? You're sure? Because I've got lots of stories. Personal experience is the best, too.

[derek_bliss]

[Snort]

You're a long way from civilization.

Gotta say, though, your life sounds pretty interesting so far.

[captain_in_you]

Life can be pretty interesting no matter where you are. And yeah, I kinda guessed that, given all the trees around.
