Jack Shephard makes his way downstairs, rubbing his eyes. He looks less tired, and less confused...although, well, damn. This place wasn't a dream.

He's wearing some new clothes Bar gave him, the gun tucked into the back waistband of his pants. He makes his way over to the Bar, leaning on it as he sits and yawns, and orders a Coke.

Come and chat with the island doctor.

"You must be new," Tony observes. You can spot a new one a mile away.

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

Jack laughs. "Yeah. I guess I am. Since last night." He sticks out his hand. "Jack Shephard."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Yet another Jack.

Tony shakes the man's hand. "Tony Almeida. Nice to meet you. Where are you from?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

"Boston, originally. Kind of...stuck on an island now." Jack shakes his head, sipping some Coke.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"You know Claire?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

Jack nods. "Yep. And Sawyer, Locke, Charlie and Kate, if you've ever met them...apparently they've been here."

They're the only ones he knows of being there.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"I've met Sawyer and Charlie. Not Locke."

Because that would hurt his mun's head.

"Welcome to the bar."

There may or may not be a rather conspicious leather-clad woman nearby. Alright, she's definitely there. The question is, why is she patting the bar in such a companiable manner and talking to it?

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

Jack eyes her curiously, and might cock his eyebrow in a wtf-expression.

But he's been around the island long enough and everything Ace said last night has him watching for the weird.

He's found some.

She's not weird. Just not human. She's actually very normal, for an ex-soldier with a fondness for grenades. Aeryn looks up from the Bar, glancing around for a familiar face and catches his eyes. She promptly switches to big bad Peacekeeper mode, scowling.

"Something you wanted?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

Jack shakes his head, lips pressed together firmly and sips more Coke. "Nope."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

The scent of the new guy, it's impossible to hide and believe it or not, she's in a good mood.

"You're new here? Correct?" Aeryn took it upon herself to move closer, inspecting the fresh meat.

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

Jack nods. Wearily. "Yeah. As of last night."

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Oh look! A blonde bearing hot chocolate.

"You look much better today."

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

Jack smiles at her. "Thanks. Feel better."

Ask if he slept on the bed. Ask!

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Tahiri smiles back approvingly. "I take it you slept well?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Not for the first two hours that I tried to sleep in the bed though. Had to end up on the floor. Hard. Like the cave I'm in."

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Blink.

"You're in a cave?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. That or the beach. Cave's safer." For now.

"You better be careful with that blaster. Violence isn't allowed here."

Jaina cocks her head, clicking softly as she studies Jack from her seat at the bar.

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

"I know." Jack nods, hand automatically going to it, making sure it's still there. Locked and loaded.

"Thanks."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"Welcome."

She turns back to her Corellian ale before glancing back up at him. "You new here?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Jack Shephard." Jack sticks his hand out.

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"Jaina Solo." She shakes his hand, grinning at him. "Where are you from, Jack?"

[hero-jack.livejournal.com]

"Boston. Earth." Jack quickly ammends. "You?"
