Who: Jack Harkness and Mia Jesbar
What: Drinking, at the ~~Star Wars~~ cantina
When/Where: Right the heck now-ish, starting in Central Park
Warnings: PG-13 for intense flirting situations, and much much boozing.

Jack couldn't help but hum along with the makeshift radio in the ship as he set her down, admittedly glad to be doing something social for once. He loved his family of course- and there were certainly plenty of them to keep things interesting- but he was above all else a social man. He needed the company of people he could talk to without the constant reminder of... everything.

Today, that person was Mia, which only served to make Jack's smirk wider. Not only was she beautiful (and unfortunately taken, Jack kept having to remind himself), but she was one of the good platonic friends Jack had in thsi place, which made her even more special in a way. It took a lot to keep Jack's attention without sex, but somehow, she managed.

Hopping down from the wing, he turned the invisibility shield on, and started towards the bridge where he and Mia usually met, looking around to see if she'd actually beaten him to the punch. Also not easy to do to a time traveler, but she was good.

	Jack sighed, scrubbing a hand lightly over his face. "It's a little of both. I don't know. This isn't the best drinking conversation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well what do you wanna talk about?" She grinned a little. "Or we can just drink ourselves blind and go home really late." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know. Usually, I'm drunk by this point." His restraint was completely for Mia's benefit, but he didn't feel the need to say that. "How about you tell me a little more about this place? Obviously a... colorful history," (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why aren't you now? We can get you something harder if you wanna get drunk." "The cantina or the planet?" Mia's drink was already fuzzying her thoughts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack shook his head. "Personal philosophy, never get drunk in a completely foreign galaxy. People tend to die that way," Not that he would really, you know, stay dead. But it made him feel more prepared, to think of those things ahead of time. "And, I meant the planet, but you can start with the cantina, if you want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It took her a bit longer than it normally would have, but she finally nodded. "I'd do the same thing in your place."

"Hmm. Coruscant's pretty much the center of the galaxy, right? And lots of trade routes come through here. It's been the political capital of whoever's ruling the galaxy for... I dunno how many years. So in war, everyone wants to take it over. But the planet's been around so long they just keep building more buildings on top of each other. So the further down you go, the more seedy and dangerous and dark it gets."

"And it's managed to survive all that? Huh," His people were much more fond of the 'big gun' theory of war- if they don't agree with you, blow up the rock and eliminate the problem. The fact that this place stayed, even with so many other planets around that would work, interested him in a vague way.

"Is there something special about the place itself, or just a figurehead kind of thing?" For all his interest in ships and weapons, Jack could take a scientific interest in things, from time to time. Weird, that those times came most often when he was working towards getting drunk, but there it was.

	"Maybe a figurehead kind of thing. But just cause of it's location with all the hyperspace routes and traffic, and the population, if you control Coruscant, you pretty much control the galaxy. I dunno. Politics gets lost on me sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent)
