[Julian glances up at 'the Doctor' as he now had to call him. He had given up on calling him John like he used to. It seemed easier to try and distinguish the two men that way- even though they were the same person. God it made his head hurt.

He gives the Doctor a grin and offers up the joint.]

I'll find them when I need them. Want some? It's really good stuff.

Nah. Doesn't do much to me. You go on and have the rest. [There's really no point in making him stop now. The poor man's gone and gotten high already.]

Where exactly did you lose them? Oh, who am I kidding. I reckon you don't have the foggiest idea where.

[Julian shrugs and takes the blunt back.]

It used to piss you off when I did this back in Bete Noire too- not that you remember.

[Julian does pause to think about where his pants might be. The Doctor was right though, he had no idea.]

In the temple somewhere. Or out here. They aren't out here are they? Or in the pool?

Did it? [He still hasn't gotten over not remembering he was taken elsewhere before.]

I'm sure they'll reappear soon enough. Until then I think you'd better stay submerged-- well, unless you're comfortable with nudity. Something tells me you are.

Uh-huh.

Guess it doesn't matter now really. No one here to try to impress, right?

[He chuckles at the idea of staying submerged.]

You should join me.

I'd rather stay on dry land. Besides, I haven't got a pair of swim trunks either.

[There's no way he's coming along willingly, Julian.]

Neither do I.

[Julian chuckles.]

It's really too bad you don't remember me. I have some really kickass memories of us.

[This, of course, makes him rather curious. It sounded as if they were close friends, as anything more wouldn't cross his mind.]

Really? What sorts of memories?

We trespassed on a yacht once. That was fun. We used to work together too. Jack Harkness was our boss at the fire department.

I was a firefighter? [Nevermind the fact he'd forgotten about seeing Jack again.]

Yeah. The world needed it. It was a pretty violent city and Jack was the Captain. You were there a few months before I arrived so I don't know how you got in with the fire department exactly.

I can guess. Jack needed the help and I decided to give it to him.

That sounds good, let's go with that. We could even pretend that's why I joined the fire station.

[He laughs but there's a slight bitter tone to it.]

[Everything you're doing is making him more curious-- especially that bitter tone there.]

Or you could tell me the truth and a little more about this city I don't remember. And if you're nice about it, I might just sit here a little bit longer before going off to find your trousers.

I'll tell you anything you would like to know.

[Julian says honestly.]

I joined the fire department because Jack was giving me a second chance. I was pretty messed up and needed some help and he was one of the first willing to give it to me. You were my co-worker and we were already friends by then.

The city itself was Bete Noire, the city of Sin. It was a place of high crime, loose morals, and a group of chosen ones- as the Doctor, not you- coined us as. We weren't sure why we were there or what we were supposed to be doing besides surviving.

[He sits at the edge of the pool, careful not to let his trainers get wet by the water.]

I was in the biblical city of sin and I don't remember it. That's far more disturbing than being her. [Though he clearly becomes more concerned with the fact that he ended up with himself again and didn't remember that]

Tell me I at least gave myself a big ol' smack across the gob. Not that he really deserves one, but he does.

I don't know. I didn't know him, just you. I'll bet you did. He left not long after I got there.

Ah, I see. Well, I'll just assume I did and move on. Anyway, I think I promised to find your trousers. What do they look like?

Jeans... over there I think.

[He gestures vaguely towards the temple. That was a huge help.]

[It was going to take a whole search party to find the things.]

Yes, well, I can sit and chat for a few more minutes, I think. So we were both friends in this city of sin. I'd wager we have quite a few adventures, yeah?

More than friends. And yeah, we did. You got some crack head chick pissed and she scratched up my car. She scratched your face too.

More than friends. [That sounds very complicated and he doesn't really like it. There were so many implications there.

But the latter sounded about right.]

Getting myself in trouble, as always.

We were together. I was in love with you... still am.

[He breathes in the pot again. He felt the heartache as smartly as anything.]

Yeah, you liked to do that. I can't say I was much help there. I usually just got into it with you.

Oh. [That was a problem. Big. Major.]

Well, I'd better be off then. First I'll find your trousers since I promised, and then I'll have another look around. It was nice meeting you again.

Heh, think I'm going to try and jump you or something? Relax. I know you don't know me.
