[The person on the other end of the NV is obviously familiar with this kind of technology. After a few seconds, a small holographic Jack appears, looking rather irritated and pacing.]

Right. This is the second or third time in a year I’ve been unexpectedly whisked somewhere I really don’t have the time to be. Anyone want to tell me how to get back to Cardiff? I have a feeling if I don’t get back soon enough, my team will probably kill me. [A pause, then a reflective smile.] They might anyway, actually.

So. Whoever’s in charge around here? I’m Jack Harkness, and I’m going to find you and get home, any way I have to.

[...No. No way. No really- no way.]

Well aren't you just a sight for sore eyes. [Stealing best lines? Yes please.]

[jackedthename]

[A quiet stare, for a moment or two, and then he's just grinning that film star grin of his.]

You're a better one, beautiful. What's going on?

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Cardiff? You don't sound Welsh....

I'm sorry, there's no way out of here that anyone's been able to find yet.

[Video]

[jackedthename]

I work there, yeah.

[A little shrug.] Then I'll just have to look harder.

video|private ; SCREW HIATUSES RIGHT NOW

[universaljanitor]

[Of all the people to show up here... it had to be Captain Jack Harkness, didn't it? There's the normal amount of unease, trepidation, guilt that coils in his belly at the sight of the man, the impossible, immortal man. A constant in time where a constant shouldn't be, but he'd long since gotten over that, hadn't he? Put it aside for the sake of friendship and kinship.

The companion he'd left, all that time ago, who'd then left him, in turn, because he'd found his own little family. Oh its good to see him again.]

Captain. [He's grinning, one of those tongue in cheek, all too glad to be seeing him grins] An entire post lacking some sort of innuendo? Must be some sort of parallel world.

video|private ; DAMN RIGHT I'M GOOD AT SCREWING THINGS

[jackedthename]

[He's grinning right back, even though for him he's only just seen the Doctor -- old habits die hard, and this one harder than most. He's been away from the Doctor too long to not be pleased at seeing him, even here.]

I've got business at home, is all. And I'm pretty sure Gwen will kill me in either case, but -- [A shrug.] You're here. That means we'll get out soon enough anyway.

[facepalms]

Yeah, sorry about that, but a good majority of us are stuck here.

audio;

[jackedthename]

We'll see about that.

[video]

[antedupmyheart]

I'm afraid time doesn't much seem to care if we've the time for this.

[video]

[jackedthename]

Funny thing, it usually doesn't.

[sharp]

Third time? So, you've been through this before, yeah?

[ her time traveller senses are tingling. ]

And what's in Cardiff anyway?

video;

[jackedthename]

A few times, yeah.

[Hellooooo, gorgeous.]

Well -- me, Torchwood, and the rift. Kinda wish you were there too, though, now that I see what I'm missing out on.

video;

[meddler]

AMY.

[ OH LOOK IT'S A WHISPER THAT'S... NOT A WHISPER. ]

Be careful.

[video]

[rapturescreed]

The only one who is really in charge would be the government, but they're not in charge in a way you would like.

[video]

[jackedthename]

Seems to be the way of most governments, I've found.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Unfortunately... we're all stuck. [Smiles.]

[video] scream oh my gosh death :DDD

[jackedthename]

[He pauses for a moment, then:]

Looks like I'm in some gorgeous company, then. Can't say I mind. For now.

permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

This happens to you often?

permavideo

[jackedthename]

Often enough that I'm not exactly worried.

[murderfacing]

Good luck, dude. Let us know if you find anything. [ you like that lisp don't you jack ]

video

[jackedthename]

Mmm, I'll be sure to.

[Mary takes her time looking over the other replies before answering herself. Here we are- alien hunter, used to hopping universes, one of those types who thinks he alone is the man to solve the mystery of the Core. An efficient flirt, too. Goodness.]

Didn't the Greeters explain how time works here?

video;

[jackedthename]

Time tends to get a bit fiddly where I'm concerned, unfortunately.

[enigmaestro]

Curious.

[jackedthename]

What's so curious, handsome?

voice;

[typhlopid]

[This one is calm-voiced, refined, amused:] My, but you sound like a confident sort. What precisely is your plan?

voice;

[jackedthename]

Well, I was thinking ask questions first and shoot later.

[defineshinky]

[Oh my God, he's so pretty...

Wendy has to remind herself to put the libido away, that even though she's in a different dimension, it would still count as cheating on her boyfriend.]

As far as your kidnapping goes, there isn't a who in charge. It's a what. But that Core is locked down tighter than Queen Elizabeth the First's chastity belt.

[jackedthename]

[Sadly, when Jack's around, putting the libido away is not generally an option. But he gives her the requisite charming smile, in any case.]

Really. Because I've heard she wasn't as virginal as she seemed.

[video]

[shifting]

I wish there was someone in charge here that just needed an ass kickin' to get us all back home. Life'd be a lot easier.

[video]

[jackedthename]

Well, even if there's not, I'm sure I can find something...worthwhile to do with my time.

[longaevus]

You may be thankful to know that they won't have noticed your absence.

[jackedthename]

Oh, pretty sure they'll have noticed me being gone a year.

[meddler]

[ late but...

Oh. Oh.

Well.

Well well well. ]

Jack... Harkness?!

[ Now there's a face he hasn't seen. Not since... well...

Not since he was a completely different man. ]

private;

[jackedthename]

So you've heard of me, then?
