[Viewers are greeted by a charmingly dashing white smile, easy and confident without being cocky, shining blue eyes and the face of a 1950's matinee idol. He's dressed in his customary outfit of braces and greatcoat, his very presence commanding your attention]

Hey there, kids. So it's come to my attention that there are some of us a little more used to this whole traveling in space thing, am I right? I mean. There are some of us on here who have literally never even heard of the idea, which. Is charming, really it is. But that means that this whole Tranquility thing has gotta be more than a bit of a shock. So here's where I'm going to be taking a poll.

How many of you are familiar with travel in space? How many of you have heard of it, but never dreamed you'd do it yourself? How many of haven't even dreamed of traveling the stars?

I figure if we cover that much at least, we'll be able to determine how many of us need a bit more explanation than the fact that we seem to be on some sort of large passenger vessel traveling through some undetermined part of some unknown galaxy. Vague, I know, but I haven't exactly found a viewing screen yet, have you? That's where the rest of us come in. Maybe, with your help, we can figure this all out.

[He goes to reach forward to turn off the video feed, before a thought comes to him and he stops, a more mysterious look in his eyes as he does] I don't suppose that any of you are familiar with time travel...?

I'm gonna hope it's safe to say, given the context of the converstaion, that you didn't always live on the meteor either.

[ooc: haha, the text's alright, jack's just going to hope that he can charm you into talking to him face-to-face like he managed to charm eridan into doing ;)]

That it is. Assuming you use it right.

You've hooked me, though. Who's "we", and what exactly were you hiding from?

Another "troll", huh? I've met one of you before. He showed up before the rest of you lot, I've gotten to know him pretty well.

[lovesfaygo]

Eridan. He showed up about a month ago, when the first wave of us blew in.

He does seem to have a bit of a complex, yeah.

Alright, then. Captain Jack Harkness. [And have an introductory grin while he's at it] And you would be?

[Jack thinks about commenting about how motherfucking is an interesting middle name but somehow he knows that he should probably just not go there]

Are all of you trolls such characters, then?

I'll remember to keep that in mind.
