26 Wake upand make it count

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Contrary to popular opinion, and despite his best wishes, Jack does indeed sleep. Not that he's doing so as the moment, but he has woken up quite recently. This leaves him half groggy, running a hand through his bed hair as he yawns.

Since he usually passes out for these things, he's at least properly dressed, white shirt and something akin to dress pants, but not quite. He's shoes are nowhere to be seen, though]

[rolls his eyes] Isn't that a bit unhealthy for you lot?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Only if you're a regular human.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[grins] That's a Fact, is it?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He laughs] Quite the special Fact.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

And a modest one, too.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

It tends to come with age.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] Can't argue with that.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Slipping his hands into his pocket] How are you, Doctor? Or where are you, to be more precise.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Nine is going with the where, because that's easier to answer] Little place called Villengard. Went to check up on a banana grove. [and to restock his supply of bananas while he was at it, of course]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You don't say. There wouldn't happen to be a factory somewhere among the banana groves, would there?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

There used to be, yep. [smug Doctor is smug, yes]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Laughing] Might not be that far, then.

How's Rose?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[...way to spoil the mood, Jack] Told you before, I'm a different me. Alternate. ...Haven't seen Rose Tyler since the Autons. Least, not in my universe, anyway. Seen a couple of her here.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack seems rather disheartened by that] Might just end up missing me, then.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[blinks] You met her first, didn't you?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

She led me to you. Talked you into letting me on board.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[wry smile] You might have a tough time with that in my universe, then. Bit less lenient when it comes to companions, after Adam. But having already met you here increases your chances, I suppose. [is that his way of saying he likes you? Maybe. :|]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Well, Jack certainly takes it as such, from the look on his face] Just wait and see, then?

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Oh good, Jack speaks fluent Doctor! Nine smiles.] Yep, just wait and see. Patience is a virtue, and all that. [a virtue he doesn't have at all, but whatever]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[It's the years of experience that he has] That's what time travel is for.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Fair point. So, since you asked, where might you be now? And when, for that matter?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Cardiff, early 21st century.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[makes an "ew" face] Cardiff? What for?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Visiting. You could say I'm there to check up on a few people.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[nods] Ah. Been awhile since I've been to Cardiff. ...'Course, that was 1869. And it was supposed to be Naples, 1860, but er. Had a few technical difficulties. [i.e., he missed :|]
