[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.

[video] scream oh my gosh death :DDD

[He pauses for a moment, then:]

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

[video] eeeeeeeeeeeee :3

[thehighcost]

Oh, well. You're such a charmer. [She laughs.]

[video] basically my thoughts on this too

[jackedthename]

[Cue the requisite grin, then!] I do try.

[There's another pause.] I'm -- have we met before?

[video] :D

[thehighcost]

We have, actually! At least once, but don't worry about it. No one remembers the first time.

[video] :D

[jackedthename]

Pity, I think I would remember someone like you.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Aw, you're such a flatterer! I do like flattery. [Grins.]

Don't worry, really. No one ever remembers me. I've found that it makes it all easier, that way.

[video]

[jackedthename]

If you say so, love. I rather like being memorable.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Oh, yes you do. [Smirks.]

Say, want a drink? Free drink for a Newcomer's first time. We could talk about where you know me from.

[video]

[jackedthename]

A drink sounds lovely after being sent to a different dimension without even being shot at.

Where, then?

[video]

[thehighcost]

Whenever you want? The place is called Mugshots, the bar is in sector four.

[video]

[jackedthename]

Sounds brilliant. Maybe after I get a bit settled?

[video]

[thehighcost]

Sure! Get settled in, maybe take a shower, get something to eat. You're going to be here for awhile.

[video]

[jackedthename]

So they tell me. I'm sure the Doctor and I will figure something out.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Mm... which version?

[video]

[jackedthename]

...There's more than one here? Have I died and gone to heaven?

[video]

[thehighcost]

[Laughs.] There's more then one here, but I can guarantee that you haven't died just yet.

[video]

[jackedthename]

Then I guess I'm just surprisingly lucky.

[video]

[thehighcost]

You are! You're very, very lucky.

[video]

[jackedthename]

Even if I am stuck in an alternate universe.

[video]

[thehighcost]

It's not that bad! I like it here, actually. It's kind of nice.

[video]

[jackedthename]

I'd rather like being back with my team, honestly.

[video]

[thehighcost]

That probably won't happen for awhile, now. But they might come here!

[video]

[jackedthename]

....Not exactly the reassurance I was looking for.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Sorry! I'm not always the best at reassuring people. I'm a lot better at the truth. Which sometimes reassures people!

[video]

[jackedthename]

[Siiigh.] I guess if they showed up, there'd be a chance of us getting home sooner.
