It's all AU.

Jack studied the person up and down, studying the other before smiling and holding his hand out, "So hi."

"So, you're here," Jack said casually, stepping up behind and slightly to the side of the other man, peering over the room over his shoulder, "How's that going for you?"

Jack's sleeves were rolled up, his coat and jacket on the couch behind him. He tapped his wristband with a frown, staring between a picture of himself on the screen and the stuffed bunny in a cage transmitting the image.


"Well. That's... Odd."

He'd been looking for Jack - a Jack, any Jack - without being willing to admit --even to himself-- that that was what he was doing. When he spotted a familiar outline perched on top of a roof, he didn't hesitate long before taking advantage of a the fire-escape to climb up.

"Hey."

"And don't forget the b-" Jack called over his shoulder as he walked into the hothouse only to cut himself off as he...suddenly was not surrounded by alien flora.

Instead he was surrounded by alien furniture.

"...Interesting."

He looked around, then walked over to someone, hands in his trouser pockets and on a knife. He smiled charmingly, asking nicely, "I don't suppose you know where the hell we are, do you?"

The Master was sitting at one of the tables savoring a shot of whiskey as he waited for people to show up. He'd traded out of his usual politician's suit, for a longer, more closely tailored knee length jacket, and had actually lost the tie. The white rose remained pinned, of course.

Everything was set up. Tables, large enough for 4 or 5 people to sit comfortably, around the outside of the room. Food and open bar at the far wall from the doors. And still a fairly large space in the middle for dancing. It was going to be interesting to see how many people showed up, because frankly he wasn't sure what the population of the town was. He couldn't help but wonder, given the malleable and mind bending nature of the this place - if more people showed up then could really fit, would the room mysteriously seem bigger? It wasn't a completely absurd idea, here.

As predicted, there were no Doctors with red roses and black converses in sight, yet.

Jack leaned against the bar with a smile. He'd changed out of the peasant gear and into jeans and a plain white tee shirt, mussed his hair. He smiled flirtatiously at the person next to him at the bar, "Hey. How are you doing?"

He'd get better at that. Really.

Jack sprawled out on the carpet in a salon in the hotel, studying the ceiling, "I think, and I could be wrong, that that is a representation of the Star Cluster visible from Ralaenin Six."

"So, this is awkward," Jack sat down at the bar, staring at the other man a little curiously.

Jack settled beside John at the bar, studying him out of the corner of his eye before saying casually, "You're late, you know. Buy me a drink."
