Day 197 / Midday / Video
[Jack's been here a couple of hours. He spent the first hour disbelieving and furious, but wary of letting that show too much after his initial, instinctive bout of yelling – which he didn't broadcast, although sorely tempted to, because he's been kidnapped before and he doesn't want to get in too much trouble until he knows far better what he's up against. So he kept his head down and started exploring to get the lay of the land and find out what he had to work with here.

[And then he found the beach. He'd never lost his love of the sea from growing up beside an ocean, and he was out of the horrible orange jumpsuit and into the water before he'd even thought about it. Even if the waves and the sun on his back weren't quite natural, an hour or so of vigorous swimming calmed him down a lot. Enough to make his first transmission on the network with a decent amount of composure and a fair imitation of his normal cocky grin.

[He's still naked, by the way. It's kind of lucky (or maybe not, depending on your point of view) that the video doesn't extend below the waist. Not that Jack cares what you see. He's sprawled on the beach, the waves breaking gently behind him, feeling the sun on his tanned skin, and he's smiling. After all these years of practice, it's a pretty convincing smile.]

So. MarinaNova. [He rolls the name around his mouth, trying it out.] What've we got? Any hot babes here? Or hot guys – I'm really not picky. Maybe some Italian stud who actually looks good in orange? There'd better be something good to pass the time if I'm supposed to be here for the rest of my life!

	[A real, genuine grin from him at this.] Oh yeah? Other people decided they didn't like theirs either, eh? [And then he frowns slightly, as he works out what she said.] Okay, you think you know me? D'you know, you're the second person to say that already? And I hate to be a party pooper, but I would definitely remember you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lots of people have, not everyone is quite so bold in showing that fact off. [She looks amused. Well, she continues to look amused anyway.] If you're name's Captain Jack Harkness I believe I'm doing a little better than just thinking I know you even if I am only coming in second with it.

	[Very, very arch.] Hey, I was swimming! You think I should have got my lovely jumpsuit all wet in the sea? And yes, I'm Jack. Apparently I've been here before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-12 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	I would never suggest such a thing. [Smirking and then giving a nod.] You are some version of you anyway. That kind of thing happens too. [She'd know best. There's another Kitty Pryde in the dome.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-13 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	Some version? You sound like you mean... alternate universes? I'd just assumed it was me from a different time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-13 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	Could be that too, but this place likes it's alternate universes. For example, I'm not the only Kitty Pryde here. [And you get to have her name.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-13 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Really? There are two of you here? [He can't help but leer at that.] Lucky me! Shame there aren't two of me here any more to match! I kinda always fancied meeting myself - you know, outside of a time paradox that would end the universe or whatever! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-13 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	The other one's a little younger. You probably shouldn't get too excited there, Jack. [But she smirks.] You might still get a chance to meet yourself without the end of the universe and everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-14 11:43 am UTC (link)
	Well, at least that might be something fun to come out of this, then! [He pauses, and then asks, because there's no harm in asking the same question of different people] So what happened to the other me that was here? If we're supposed to be here 'for life'... how come he's not here any more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-14 02:10 pm UTC (link)
	He was "lost in the dimensional stabilizer" according to the wardens. Not exactly sure what that means. Some people like to think we get returned to wherever we came from when that happens. I'm not so optimistic. [She's also heard things that came out of the coup in the last prison.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-14 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Well. That sounds a little nasty! [And though he sounds like he's joking, he's not really. He lifts an eyebrow.] Does that happen a lot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-14 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely. Never to me, but plenty of people I've known. Some bounce back and forth all the time and some show up once and so far no reappearance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-14 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Bounce back and forth? As in... they go and then come back again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-14 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	You did. It comes in with and without memories, grape, and cherry flavored. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-15 11:21 am UTC (link)
	Huh. [That has, actually, given him something to think about.] Sounds like they're maybe having fun doing experiments with time displacement and retcon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-15 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	Don't forget the alternate realities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-15 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, how could I forget the alternate realities? [He thinks a moment.] Is your double here from an alternate reality? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-15 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Trust me, I was never like that when I was her age. [There may be a hint of exasperation there. Her double drives her nuts sometimes.] You sound very interested in things that aren't flirting. You surprise me, Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-15 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	[He lifts a sardonic eyebrow, looking amused.] Was my double really that frivolous? Perhaps he was from a very different reality too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-15 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Mmmm, [She tilts her head] maybe not. Honestly, I didn't really know him that well. Could be though. Hard to know really. Just part of the fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-16 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like it. [He smiles, more softly than she's seen yet.] For the record, I joke and flirt a lot, but I also know a lot about time-travel and alien tech and - oh - all sorts of things you might not suspect. [He winks.] The flirting is a useful cover. Not that that means in any way that I don't find you hot, because I do! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, I could suspect all kinds of things. [She smiles back.] But you keep talking like this and I'm going to think you might be useful. We have a team on the Defense Force for investigations. [Hovering near an invitation.] It's for the time-travel and alien tech kind of thing. Not for the finding me hot although my boyfriend is on it, so you'd be in good company there too.

	foreverjack 2012-12-17 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure I can be useful. And I am so very much up for being a part of the Defense Force, whatever that is. And any time your boyfriend wants company with the finding you hot, I am so very much there too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-12-17 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	Well, we have an interview process, but I can get that set up for you. I'm kind of the leader. [The third leader it's had since inception anyway.] Derek's in charge of that particular unit though. I'll leave the Kitty is hot club up to you and Reid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2012-12-17 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	[His eyebrows go up.] Wow, very organised and official! [And very different from his own ad hoc way of recruiting! He's impressed.] Well, I guess I'm already talking to the right people here, then! Who's Derek? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
