[The sound of a breeze and faint voices in the background suggest that Jack's outside as he dictates his entry, the flap of his coat adding to the other soft noises.]

Sorry I've been absent lately. I was... well, laying low, if I'm honest.

Not sure if there's anyone that's been missing me, but here I am if you were.

Jack

[_fredless]

We've all done it, more than once. Done our best to disappear for a while.

[She's been away herself, after a fashion. But because there's normally a reason for that sort of thing?]

Did it help?

Fred

[perpetualized]

[A sigh. Jack still feels bad about how his last conversation with Fred went. He feels bad for the entire situation, but he still can't completely apologize because he feels he did something right.]

A bit. It was more for the benefit of others than myself, though.

Jack

[_fredless]

Which eventually benefits you, if only in a round a bout way.

[perpetualized]

[Sighs and then chuckles] In a round about way, yeah.

[cricketycricket]

Glad to hear you're well, Jack.

[Jack Harkness]

Anything in particular you were laying low from that I could assist with?

Five

[perpetualized]

Thanks, Doc. Who've things been going with you?

Nothing dangerous or anything like that. Just got caught in a tricky situation with a friend and thought I'd stay outta everyone's hair.

Jack

[cricketycricket]

Oh, all things considered, just fine. Got myself shot in the shoulder, but that's been patched up nicely, courtesy of a few kind souls in the Clinic, and I hardly notice it, now. It's certainly a far cry from regeneration.

With a friend? Oh, dear. That's the worst sort of stickiness, isn't it... I do hope you've got it all sorted, now...?

[perpetualized]

[Snorts softly] You're just a magnet for trouble, no matter which regeneration you're in.

It's taken care of, don't worry. Got mixed up helping out a vampire and the whole thing kinda backfired. Not everyone shares the same definition of "helping".

Baby Pond got ahold of a journal

[hullo_sweetie]

Did you do something bad?

[Sounds like a little girl. A girl too young to even know how to read, so this couldn't be her journal]

hello adorable little girl

[perpetualized]

[Jack's lucky to have heard River's voice on Rory's entry, otherwise he would've been really confused by the little girl's voice coming across the journal.]

Nothing bad, just something that caused a misunderstanding.

[Chuckles] What about you, missy? Have you been getting into trouble?

[hullo_sweetie]

Uh-huh! Lots!

[Those poor Ponds, trying to keep up with this bad, bad little girl]

[perpetualized]

Atta girl! No point in childhood if you don't use all that energy to your advantage. Plus, I bet you've got an adorable face that no one can stay mad at.

[Don't worry, River, Uncle Jack is proud of you!]

[wittybaudelaire]

We've never met, but I hope things are well now. Do take care of yourself.

[perpetualized]

[A soft chuckle] That's mighty kind of you, especially since we don't know each other.

[wittybaudelaire]

Doesn't mean I haven't been in the same place.

[perpetualized]

True enough!

I'm Jack Harkness, by the way.

[fishy_go_byebye]

I thought you'd lost your space.

[perpetualized]

[Chuckles] Maybe for a bit, but I've got it back.

[fishy_go_byebye]

Don't let it backwards, then you'll lose all it flavor.

[perpetualized]

I've gone backwards and forwards and even sideways. Kinda adds a flavor of its own!
