[video; open]
[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...?

You're gorgeous, don't get me wrong, and in certain circumstances I would have no problem getting down on my knees for you, but divinity just doesn't exist, plain and simple.
no subject
[ ......afjskfafHAFSKF OH my god. thor just pauses for a second and then just sort of laughs. ] You do have my thanks for your sentiments. I am certainly not here to strong-arm anyone into believing anything—I have since learned of mortal skepticism from my Father's own tellings and my own personal experiences. All I can simply say is gods do exist.
no subject
Well whatever you are, I'm not gonna deny that you're standing there talking to me, so anyway. What's your name, big boy?
no subject
At least we can agree that I am not a figment of imagination right now. [ right?? right! haha...ha. ] My name is Thor. And what may I call you?
no subject
Captain Jack Harkness. It's a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
Captain? [ ... ] Of this vessel?
no subject
No, no. I wish. It's a great ship, but no.
Royal Air Force, actually. 133rd squadron. 'Course, I hung up my flying wings a while ago, moved on to bigger and better things, but they let me keep the stripes.
no subject
anyhow. he's not quite sure what that means, but it sounds like it's probably important... ]
What sort of bigger and better things?
no subject
no subject
Is that so? [ are you batman???????? ] What sorts of things do you do—or is that a secret as well?
no subject
no subject
Oh. [ disappointed!!!! ] Though, I suppose that does make sense.
no subject
[oh thor, you're just like a big puppy dog to him]
no subject
I probably should not press... [ ... ] Secrets should stay that way.
no subject
It depends. Sharing them's half the fun sometimes.
no subject
he makes a noise of agreement, followed by a laugh. ] You are right about that. As long as they are good and not ...overly harmful to share with another.
no subject
Plus, it means that you'll have to talk to me again later if you want to find out what it is.
no subject
There are easier ways to ensure future conversations.
