[After waking up in a strange room with no sign of his daughter Jenny, Apollo decided to explore the room to see if he can find any hints of where he is. It doesn't take long for him to discover the journal and flip through it curiously. While flipping through he picks up fragments like 'castle' and 'Paradisa'. It seemed to be the only way of contacting people in the room. Now wasn't the time to be shy. He had his daughter to find.]

Hi. I don’t really know how you’re supposed to start writing these things. Never been the journal writing kind of guy unless you count that Dear Abby letter I wrote one time as a joke. Well, Midnighter thought it was a joke but that’s a whole other story. The bottom line here is I’m looking for my daughter. She’s got long brown hair and brown eyes. She’s eight but she acts like she’s going on thirty. Anyone seen her?

And Jenny, if you’re reading this respond ASAP and tell me where you are. I don’t know what’s going on but I plan to find out.

[That said he closed the journal and carried it with him when he left the room. He wasn't going to get answer any quicker by just sitting around.]


[ooc: Open to any part of the castle you want to find him wandering around.]

Well that definitely adds to the creep-out factor of this place.

[A chuckle] Tell me about it.

I'm Jack, by the way. Captain Jack Harkness. I need to keep reminding myself to do introductions 'cause they're so easy to skip with this thing. [A series of dull thuds as Jack taps his journal.

Apollo. I know what you mean, but it's a bit strange for me. I'm used to everyone knowing who I am. This is a nice change though.

Captain huh? Military man?

[perpetualized]

Famous back home?

Yep, a while back. I've kept the title since it has a nice ring to it.

We took over the United States once. So fairly well known.

It is very catchy.

[perpetualized]

You... took over the States?

[Jack was starting to like Apollo, but if he was a bad guy... well, it would put a damper on their friendship.]

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Yes. The country was being governed by bastards out of their own gain and our team leader thought we could do a better job.

And we did. [Pause.] For awhile.

[perpetualized]

Works for me. I was worried we couldn't be friends! [A laugh]

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

You thought we had less then good intentions for taking over? [He sounds amused.]

Well, thankfully that's not the case. We've always fought to create a finer world. Just sometimes we had to take matters into our own hands.

Hey, you never can be too careful in my line of work.

And I can't argue with that logic. Sometimes it has to get worse to get better.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

And what is your line of work if you don't mind me asking?

[perpetualized]

Back home, I guess I was kinda like an alien crime fighter. I don't remember the details, since the castle took care of those memories as soon as I got here.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Ah, aliens. We've dealt with a few of those in my world to. Some can be friendly the others are just nasty to deal with.

That must be hellish, not remembering things about yourself.

[perpetualized]

[Chuckles] Unfortunately, most of the ones we get are the nasty kind.

It's pretty frustrating, but I have a few friends here that have filled in the major gaps.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

But someone telling you isn't the same as remembering yourself.

[perpetualized]

Couldn't agree with you more.
