One of the men in tights may have thought he was on to something, but Jack was even more confused than he had been at the mere sight of them. How was The City fictional? How was it anything other than what it was - a city? And he wasn't quite sure what an alternate reality was, but Jack didn't think he was going to like it much at all.
"An alternate what? It's not fictional, you are standing in it. Duh. City can't not exist if it exists." At least, that's what Jack made sense of.
He was squirming a bit, trying to find a way out of the 'goo' and away from these creepy men moth.. things.
"The way I see it, the only thing you've made it onto is the 'What Not To Wear' listing. M'kay. Now let me go before I cry wolf."
