Student Housing, London, Friday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

The portals were booked: Jack and Sebastien were scheduled to go to 1901 Boston early the next day. Kevin had been informed he'd need a new flatmate for the spring, and the university had been told Jack was taking a leave of absence. (Neither, it must be said, seemed exactly broken up to see him go.) Jack had made excuses to his London friends, something about a sick relative that was deliberately dull enough to discourage further questioning.

All that was left were the calls to people from Fandom.

Sebastien, being a wise man, had taken himself elsewhere to handle some paperwork, so Jack had privacy as he started dialing.

It was possible he was calling in ascending order of difficulty.

"It's only the American Revolution, mate," Mitchell said, sounding a little amused. "People are going to be talking about this for centuries."

If it worked out the same way, anyway.

"I know the rebels won eventually in the world I'm in now," Jack said thoughtfully. "So yes, my journal might be interesting. I could pass it off as being from my great-great-great grandfather."

It was always an excellent time to worry about posterity.

"Might even get a movie made out of it," Mitchell encouraged. "I'd screen it."

Yes, the Tale of an American Revolution In An Alternate History.

[bitten_notshy]

It'd be a classic film! A bit unbelievable, what with the magic and vampires and the time travel, but wasn't there a movie about Abraham Lincoln hunting zombies that someone was making?

"With any luck, I'll be at the premiere," Jack said, liking this idea very much. "Though I won't speculate on who could play me just yet."

"Either the big blond superstar of the year," Mitchell judged, "Or some artsy guy they flew in from France..."

Mitchell. Relevance.

[bitten_notshy]

"I could deal with a Frenchman, though more people would see it if they made it with a superstar," Jack said thoughtfully. "And now I have to come back and make sure it gets made."

[chosehumanity]

"Yeah," Mitchell said, after a brief pause - look, there was that relevance. "You'd better."

[bitten_notshy]

"I can't stay in that time no matter who wins what war," Jack said. "I've gotten too used to this one. There are people and telephones and -- things. So I will."

[chosehumanity]

"Then I'll leave you to the next one in line to tell you how stupid this is," Mitchell supplied. "Don't get killed."

[bitten_notshy]

"I haven't yet," Jack said. "Bye."

And then he was gone.
