[Maybe you're at the media store or educational center to play your disc. Maybe you're just out and about somewhere contemplating what you saw or whether to see it. Either way, you're bound to run into someone!]

Jack can very rarely be found anywhere near the education centre (except when he's visiting Ianto in the library) but the more he thinks about his disc today, the more he wants to just watch it over and over again. So he's found himself a nice small classroom with a projector where he can watch his video of his time with the Doctor over and over again on a big screen. It's not as good as the holograms of his own time, but it's the best he can find short of hijacking the movie theatre.

Feel free to come across him watching it. He'll look happy at some parts, and devastated at others. Take your pick!

(His movie starts with the latter part of this, and then encompasses most of this, ending with his death by Dalek and him waking to hear the TARDIS departing without him.)

	[Kitty manages to pass by during one of the devastating bits. The flickering light catches her attention and she phases through the door when she notices Jack inside. Her eyes move to the man and not the memories.] Hey. [Gently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's right at the end of the vid, watching himself face down the Daleks, terrified but determined, about to die his first ever death. And then watching himself wake up with a gasp, the brief moment of bewildered elation before he heard the sound of the TARDIS dematerialising. It's almost a century and a half ago for him, but he doesn't think he'll ever forget the way his heart pounded in his ears as he raced back to the Doctor, only to see the TARDIS fade away before his eyes. And watching this has only brought it back even more clearly.

The sound of Kitty's voice makes him jump. He hadn't heard the door open (of course). He swallows, and turns his head, blinking away tears.] Hey.

[The video reaches the end and starts playing again from the beginning, his first sight of Rose, hanging in mid air from a barrage balloon in the middle of the London Blitz.]

((OOC: The first few seconds of this are the best I could find of this!))

	[Her heart jumps a little seeing him crying and she makes up for that hug in Tyki's body pretty quickly by squeezing herself onto his chair, half on his lap and giving him a hug. She could see the bots shooting him. She's not sure what it was about that death that brought this on, but she doesn't ask questions yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's not quite expecting the lapful of Kitty and it makes him laugh a little in surprise. But after a moment he's hugging her back - not fiercely, not that tight, because this is after all an old pain, but definitely appreciating the contact, and the fact that this time she doesn't look and feel and smell like Tyki.

He dips his head against her shoulder and for once doesn't say anything, just sits quietly, listening to his first meeting with Rose, with an ache of longing for the people they were then, with so much more to come.]

	[Okay, maybe it was overkill. But the tears caught her off guard and got her all protective of his heart. Shut up. She watches some of his life up on the screen as she holds him. She remembers Rose.] You still have that beam of light thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A little bit of overkill can be good sometimes. It's nice to be reminded how much people care about him, especially when he's a little vulnerable, like now. He doesn't move, keeping his forehead resting against her shoulder, just listening.

And chuckling lightly at her question.] Unfortunately no. That was a function of the Chula ship I'd stolen. It got blown up a day or two later. I thought I was going to go along with it, but the Doctor pulled me out just in the nick of time." He does move, then, to glance up at the screen. "That's him there. Big ears, with the leather jacket."

	He was here for a little bit. I mean there was also "The Doctor" here and he looked different. I don't really understand it. [She plays with his hair a little. Silly dangerous pheremones.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I didn't know that. [He makes a soft, contented sound at the fingers in his hair (he likes fingers in his hair, and leans his head sideways against her shoulder instead so he can watch the screen and still have the contact. He's more or less forgotten about the pheromones, for the moment.]

He regenerates. Literally changes every cell in his body and becomes a completely new man. The other version who was here - tall, skinny, floppy hair, brown suit and converses - that was the next regeneration after this one. But this was my Doctor. The one who saved me, taught me to do good.

[It's relaxing to do it too. And it's certainly more about comfort than anything else. It's just hard sometimes to not be a little affected.]

It was really brief. One of the joys of being here since almost opening day is that I get to have at least some passing familiarity with most everyone who has come through.

So, he's still him with a whole new body? And new fashion sense? [She should probably be focusing more on the emotions Jack is having, but it really is interesting.]

	[Softly] It also means you're aware of everyone who's gone, too. [Losing people. Isn't that what they bonded over the other day, too?] Yeah, very different fashion sense. It's weird, I saw him the other day too. At least, turns out I guess it wasn't actually him, but I thought it was at the time. It's like bits of my past keep on popping back.

	[She meets his eyes. He's not wrong about that first part. So many loses and some of them were pretty significant to her.] I have some experience with the people you think are yours, but aren't really too. Basically anyone I've ever recognized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He gives her a tiny, rueful smile at that look. Even he's lost quite a few people here. Not enough to compete with those he'd lost before, but enough.] Lots of faces you recognise, but not actually the people you think they are? There hasn't actually been anyone you knew before, here?
