Hey, it's after eighteen hundred hours - legitimate martini time!

Captain Jack Harkness bounds cheerfully downstairs, before pausing at the bottom of the stairs in the realisation that the bounding has become definitely... bouncier. And his clothes are suddenly too big.

That's just not right.

"Bar!"

Hmm. Yes, definitely bouncier. Also... softer. Fascinating.

He -- she, for the moment, wanders further in, swaying experimentally, and shrugging off the much-too-big jacket to carry over one noticeably slimmer shoulder. A martini appears before she can even ask, and Jack accepts with a rueful grin and an elegant bow.

"You couldn't at least have put me in something slinky?"

"Well, green isn't exactly the most attractive colour in the world is it."

[othercaptjack]

She smiles, reaching forward to chuck her affectionately under the chin.

"Oh, I don't know. I think you look rather cute. Sets off your eyes something beautiful."

[capt_angie]

"Thanks, I think," she says with an amused grin. "I guess I should be greatful that Bar just changed my skin colour and didn't give me a hooked nose and warts or something equally hideous and stereotypical."

[othercaptjack]

Jack laughs.

"Oh boy. Yeah, I think in most cases we've all got the case of 'it could have been worse.'"

[capt_angie]

She nods in agreement.

"Oh yeah, this could have been much worse. I was worrying that Bar would continue her tradition of giving me increasingly tight, skimpy costumes. Not that she could have gone much tighter and skimpier than what she had me in last year though..."

[othercaptjack]

"What'd she have you in last year?"

Excuse the enthusiasm for this topic.

[capt_angie]

"Catwoman outfit, according to my boyfriend. For such a skimpy outfit, there was a lot of leather."

[othercaptjack]

"Ah, leather," says the woman wearing a man's leather pants.

"Yeah. Generally acclaimed the first love of those with revealing tastes."

[capt_angie]

"Thats true. Bar seems to have a bit of a thing for putting people in as much leather as possible."

[othercaptjack]

Jack grins.

"That she does. Not that I'm complaining..."

[capt_angie]

"Nor was I, t the time. But if I hadn't been possessed at the time, I would have given serious consideration to making Bar into firewood."

[othercaptjack]

Jack raises an eyebrow.

"Possessed? Yeesh, sounds like a time."

[capt_angie]

"Oh yeah, it was great fun," she says dryly.
