[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.

[jackedthename]

Mmm, I'll be sure to.

video

[murderfacing]

Yeah, you better. Don't hold out on us, dude. That shit's not cool.

video

[jackedthename]

Oh, I won't. Not if it gets us home.

video

[murderfacing]

Good.

video

[jackedthename]

Don't think I caught your name?

video

[murderfacing]

Murderface. William Murderface.

[ He sniffs, running a hand under his nose. ] But everyone just calls me Murderface.

video

[jackedthename]

...Right. Pleased to meet you, er. Murderface.

video

[murderfacing]

Most people are.

You should consider it an honor to even be speaking with a member of Dethklok.

video

[jackedthename]

...Sorry, Dethklok?

video

[murderfacing]

[ An annoyed look appears on his face and he huffs, crossing his arms and leaning back against the wall he's sitting against. Ain't much room in them newcomer apartments. ]

You're serious?

video

[jackedthename]

Absolutely serious, mate.

video

[murderfacing]

I ain't your mate, bro.

[ He shakes his head sadly. ] It's only the most successful metal band ever.

video

[jackedthename]

Right. Don't pay much attention to music.

video

[murderfacing]

What- [ legitimate shock. ]

You don't-

How do-

How do you live?

video

[jackedthename]

...Well, saving the world from aliens is a pretty big part of it.

video

[murderfacing]

Without metal?

video

[jackedthename]

...Uh, usually with guns.

video

[murderfacing]

[ Oh well that's relevant to his interests. ]

Which do you use? I prefer a Mauser C96 myself.

video

[jackedthename]

I've got a Webley. [That's right, he's old school.]

video

[murderfacing]

Christ, those are old. Where did you even get it? I had to hunt one down for months before I could add it to my collection.

video

[jackedthename]

[All casual-like:] During World War II.

Re: video

[murderfacing]

But you're not all old and wrinkly.

video

[jackedthename]

....No. No, I'm not.

video

[murderfacing]

So what's the deal?

Don't hold on me, dude. What's your secret?

video

[jackedthename]

Oh, darling, I'd have to know you a lot better to tell you that.
