Log;

Waking up in an unknown city was usually the sign of a good night, however, this time, Jack knows it's not a good sign, especially when his night hadn't been anything special enough to land him in a place he didn't know.

He looked around, trying to see if he recognized anything, but nothing stood out. Except for the carousel and fountain and not because they were familiar, but because, honestly, who kept carousels in town anymore, unless you were in a mall?

Jack pressed the blue-tooth set at his ear and checked his vortex manipulator for readings of the area.

"Gwen, Ianto, are you there?"

Of course, no response, that'd be too easy.

"Where the Hell am I?"

"Well, when you get to the house you'll notice all the main doors have dog doors on them. The other Jack put them in for me when I moved in."

She shook her head with a fond smile, thinking that there could have been nothing else that would have let her know so clearly that she was welcome at the house.

"I'm a Walker - I change into a coyote. I don't have to, I'm not like a werewolf who has to change at least once a month when the moon's full. I can shift whenever I want or not at all."

"Oh, ok then."

He smiled and shrugged, barely phased. If anything, he found it interesting.

"Good thing those dog doors are already in place."

The other Jack had been equally accepting and rather curious himself.

"Well," she said with a laugh. "If they hadn't been it would have given you something to do as you adjusted to the City. Have people filled you in about it?"

"True, guess I'll have to find something else. As for the city, basically, there's a barrier around it keeping us in and something out. People randomly showing up is normal, and there's no way to actively escape."

The whole not being able to leave thing still didn't sit well with him.

Mercy nodded. "And there are random curses - a couple a week, though you won't always be affected by them. On the plus side, though, it seems that when you return home, you go back to the moment you left, so no one back there is worried about you or anything."

Well that was a relief. At least he wouldn't need to worry about how Gwen and Yan were doing back at the hub.

"Curses, huh? That ought to be fun..."

He didn't really believe in curses, but Mercy really didn't have a reason to lie to him, so he was inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"I'm not sure most people here would say they're fun - except in the sarcastic sense," Mercy said with a smile. "But they certainly are varied. People change genders or turn into animals, wake up handcuffed to random strangers, find themselves bursting into song or making lists of everything. It's quite odd."

Jack gave her a sly grin.

"Gender change and waking up hand-cuffed? Now that does sound like a good time. You know, Ianto changed genders once, a while ago, that was fun too."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Mercy couldn't help but laugh. "Should have known you'd find those enjoyable. I've only done the gender change once, thank heavens, and that's the way I'd prefer it."

They'd made their way out of the City proper now and she nodded at the big house up ahead. "That's it."
