*waves, fork in hand*

Chocolate. Nice and moist, too.

[masterbaited]

So I can see. I take it this is for an anniversary of sorts?

[inthemoodnow]

*pauses. looks serious for a moment, thinking. might be reviewing a calendar in his head. relaxes, with an expression of relief.*

Not one that I know of, at least.

[masterbaited]

. . . Too many to keep track of?

[inthemoodnow]

*shrugs*

Things add up after a while. Want a piece? It's not actually mine, I was just the first person to get here.

[masterbaited]

That's . . . questionable, but it doesn't seem to be having any ill effects on you.

[gets a piece and sits down next to Jack]

[inthemoodnow]

I wouldn't have suggested that anyone else have some if it was doing anything weird. I mean, unless it was a good weird. I'd be totally fine with some good weird.

*holds out his hand to him*

Captain Jack Harkness. Nice to meet you.

[masterbaited]

[shakes it]

Tachibana Yoshiaki.

[inthemoodnow]

*it is a very manly and friendly handshake!*

From Japan, then, I'm guessing?

[masterbaited]

That's right.

[inthemoodnow]

When?

[masterbaited]

Pardon?

[inthemoodnow]

What year? People here are from all over.

[masterbaited]

[takes a bite of his cake, a small, wry smile playing at his lips]

Ahh, about twenty years in the past.

[inthemoodnow]

*him eating the cake is... oddly compelling. Jack's gaze flickers between making eye contact and... mmm... watching...*

Twenty years, that's not so bad. I guess you might have to watch out for some spoilers, but who doesn't?
