Well. We've had an interesting night. And day. And night.

An old friend of Jack's showed up and proceeded to use our resources with nary a thanks. He's on his way again, thankfully, but not without leaving his mark. (I've yet to be impressed by anybody who claims to be an evil genius. There's always a soft white underbelly. Always.)

Also. I don't mind being called "secretary." I don't mind being called "office boy." I don't even mind being called "tea boy."

But "eye candy"?

Don't call me "eye candy."

(Plus side: we got facials and massages out of it. Jack's a demanding boss, but there are compensations.)

[ooc: Had to play with this from the BBCA Captain's Blog. Hope that's cool with y'all.]

But you're all ok, right?..

(Enjoy your pampering - sounds like you could use it.)

You've spoken to Owen by now so you know how he is . . . as for the rest of us, we'll live. Bruises etc. are part of the job description.

My skin looks fantastic, though.

Yes... **contemplates investing in Kevlar for him** I'm glad to hear that for the most part, you all are alright.

Ah...a healthy glow, and supple as a newborn babe, ne? ^_^

If you can get him to wear it you're a stronger person than the rest of us.

One might even call it kissable.

Hn...Maybe I'll have to just hold him down and staple it to him or something...

**smirks** Careful about advertising that too loudly, ne? Otherwise you're going to be forced to fight off the masses with a stick...

Wouldn't the staples negate the purpose of Kevlar?

Who's advertising? *innocent look*

**smirks** Not if they're Kevlar staples... Though, the resulting staple holes would be very small...

**laughs** Oh, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. ~_^

I think he wouldn't thank you, no matter how small the holes were.

To be honest, I think I could use some advertising. "Single, unchoosey midtwenties male in need of kissing." Think that would get me some dates?

No, likely not. Though, I would be very hard pressed to follow through with such a plan in the first place... ...I'm not above begging, though.

Hm... I think it would, but probably not the sort of people you'd really want to spend any amount of time around, I'm afraid. Maybe you need a PR person - someone to laud your virtues to the masses...

I'm sure you can find the right way of asking. You get to know somebody well enough you find all kinds of little tricks.

Probably not, no. A PR person sounds good--someone to look at me objectively.

Ch. I think I would have shot whomever said it.

I'm glad things went relatively alright.

I would have but there were more pressing matters to attend to.

Thank you. So am I.

...He called you eye candy?

Yes, he did. Nobody believes I have an actual function in Torchwood. Do you think it's the suits?

He called you 'cute boy' to me, which may even be worse. It's possible he just thinks your looks are more important than your job.

No, wait, more than possible - that's what he thinks about everyone. *Eyerolls*

God, he annoys me even when he's gone.

If all I had to do was stand around and look pretty my dry-cleaning bill wouldn't be half so large.

Good riddance to him, I have to say.

Alas that you're useful in more ways than that one.

Yeah.

Thank you, sir. That's always nice to hear.

[Private to Jack]

How are you doing, by the way? No ill effects from the fall?

[Private to Ianto]

Not bad, thanks. It felt weird for a bit after, but I was kind of distracted - and it's amazing what a massage will do for phantom... is it even possible to have phantom broken spine syndrome? Hmm.

[OOC: Dude, I just watched Adam today. Thaaaaat's going to be a fun one to do. *Winces*]

[Private to Jack]

That's good. Well, not good, but better than the alternative.

If there is I suspect you'll be the only person to suffer from it. Which probably doesn't help.

Did you get the one with the heated stones? That's my favorite.

[Is it bad of me that I'm kind of looking forward to serial killer!Ianto?

We'll have to figure out a way to "delete" everything once the memories are erased, too.]

[Private to Ianto]

*Sigh* Yeah. Just one of those things.

Oh, yeah. That one was nice. We'll have to do it again some time, there's no way that's the last time loop we'll ever run into.

[OOC: Not at all! I think it'll be pretty fun too, right down to Jack... basically killing Adam for fucking with Ianto. Um. No, I don't watch episodes from a certain bias, what.

I figured I'd have Jack leave himself one private message saying 'Do not try to regain the memories of the last two days,' although I don't know... depends what people write, I guess. A few vague references to Adam will just make everyone confused. Especially TIC at large. Heh.]

[Private to Jack]

If you need anything just ask. The next pot of coffee should be ready in about ten minutes.

As long as Torchwood is footing the bill I'm sure no one will object.

[ooc: Hee hee . . . what bias? *innocents about innocently*

My reaction was pretty much, "This is going to be a blast to play! . . . oh crap, how are we going to play it?"]
