Project Walk-Away (Open to all, group thread)

Jul 12, 2007 22:37

At 11:55 on Wednesday, Jack was ready to move. He was armed, equipped with his cellphone, his wrist-comp and a bottle of water, and stood outside the Hotel, waiting to see who'd join him. The plan was simple, straightforward, easy enough to execute...and it might just work.

He checked his watch again. At noon sharp, he'd start walking. Even alone.

The Doctor had promised Jack that he'd be there, even if no-one else was. He wasn't one to back down from a challenge, and if there was the faintest hope that even someone would be able to leave? Well, all the more reason to participate.

Hands thrust deep in his pockets he silently approached Jack.

Jack strolled out onto the front steps of the hotel, fully prepared for a desert hike. Or at least as prepared as he could be given that he didn't have the SGC supplying him with a full pack and all the ammo he could wish for. He still thought sticking a gun in the Bellboy's face was the quicker path to escape, but he was willing to try less violent means first. He must be getting soft in his old age.

Jack slapped his cap on his head and slid his sunglasses on as he stepped out of the shade and into the fierce glare of the sun. "All righty, campers. Time to follow that yellow brick road."

Inara appeared on the steps, but her friends would not have recognized her. Gone were her voluminous skirts; in their place was a tight-fitting pair of breeches not unlike Mal's. Her hair was pinned severely back, and she wore a pair of boots she'd located in the closet that seemed to hug her feet. Odd, she hadn't brought any with her.

She wasn't sure this would work or that it was even worth the effort, but if she could get back to her own time somehow, or find her shuttle, or even find civilization - she had no idea what to expect. But it had to be better than rotting here.

There weren't many here yet. Three men - one older, one weedy and blond, and another looking handsome and authoritative. She stayed back, uncertain who to approach.

Wendy was out there, despite how fucking hot it was. She was going to walk, even if she thought it wouldn't do anything. The people here had to stick together right...or something cheesy like that.

It wasn't like she had anything better to do.

Everyone tag down from this thread, ok? man_outof_time July 17 2007, 16:38:34 UTC

Slowly, people started showing up. Jack smiled when he saw the Doctor and went to him, clapping him on the shoulder silently. When he saw Col. O'Neill approaching, he blew an air kiss at the Doctor and grinned. "Yup, we're off to see the wizard and melt him down." Two was actually better than he'd expected, already. He waved at Wendy, glad she was there, and nodded at the stranger. Hm...Beautiful stranger.

"Hello." He motioned her over. "We haven't met, have we? I'd remember. I'm Jack Harkness, resident fool in charge of this crazy plan. These are the Doctor, Jack O'Neill, and Wendy."

Jack nodded to the others as they were introduced. He hadn't met any of them yet, other than the other Jack of course. Which was a damn shame because there were some seriously beautiful women in this place.

"So are we going to synchronize our little escape attempt, or just wing it?" Jack wasn't sure they could coordinate their assault on whatever was holding them given all the variables, known and unknown, but they could try.

The Doctor broke into a wide grin as Jack (his Jack) blew him a kiss. Hands thrust into his pockets he nodded his head slightly when introduced. "Good day."

Jack's watch was, in fact, completely arbitrary. He took it back from the Doctor, shaking his head slightly. "I'm sorry Doc, but I can't even lie and say this thing shows the right time. It's probably about noonish, whatever that thing says...Since I've been here I count time from when I wake up, and a second is still subjectively a second, you can sit for a full day and count minutes." Which he'd done for a few hours until it got too boring ( ... )

Dean nodded, and held up his flask. He'd emptied the bit of whisky that had been in it before and filled it with water. "East works. Does everyone have a weapon? And did you want me to try using my car?" He figured if worst came to worst, he could give his flask to someone else if he was going to drive.

beige_doc July 23 2007, 20:18:45 UTC

The Doctor nodded, rather happy that for at least part of their trip he could keep an eye on Jack. Hands now clasped behind his back he rocked forwards on the balls of his feet slightly.

"No weapons," he said for himself (and perhaps his opinion for the group) "I find they kill too many people."

How rude of her. Inara had just been sitting and observing the interplay between the men - it was her bread and butter, after all - but upon hearing the handsome man - Jack? - she snapped to attention. "I'm sorry. Inara is my name. Inara Serra. And that will be fine."
