OOM: Date Night

[geeky_agent]

Chris and Jack step out of the bar, into a cold New York City night.

The first big difference from Milliways? All the noise. The sound of horns from the cars on the street, cops blowing their whistles as they direct traffic and someone down the street playing a violin come together to create their own symphony.

She pulls her wrap a little tighter around her shoulders and looks over at Jack with a smile. "Surprise."

Jack blinks, the cacophany of urban sound a shock after the relative quiet of Milliways. There are few cities in the country with such recognisable architecture, and it doesn't take long for him to figure out where they are.

It also doesn't take long for him to realize that looking at the larger scale...he's home. Back on earth, in the States. Much as some of the odder patrons in the bar might be those he counts as friends, there's something very comforting about seeing ordinary hominids brushing past them.

For a moment he has a rush of panic--is it safe for him to be wandering around New York when he was supposed to be a dead man?--before he relaxes. It's not for long, and he doubts her plans inculde going through any high-security areas, like an airport. Besides, there is always the benefit of hiding in plain sight.

"New York? This....this is definitely not what I expected. This is wonderful, sweetheart," he says, grinning from ear to ear.

Jack looks out the cab window as they pull up in front of Lincoln Center, then turns to Chris, grinning.

"Lincoln Center? So what are we seeing?"
