[Filtered to Friends]

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.]

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?"]

[Private to Ianto]

Mmm. I never say no to coffee.

Oh, I think preventing a paradox is a very worthwhile expenditure of Torchwood funds.

[OOC: The nonexistent one! Yes!

Probably we could do something similar to KKBB and log a few scenes. The 'you have to put me in the cells' scene strikes me, for some reason. >_> It covers two days, right? The first day he appears can just be entirely normal posts, except someone namedrops Adam, and then odd logs on the second day... Mind you, Owen's situation will be a weird one. I guess we should all chat together about it. Afterwards there'll just be confusion, I should think. Maybe someone could request that TIC don't tell them too much, if need be? Something.]

[Private to Jack]

*coughsinthedirectionofmyicon*

Perhaps that should be added to the charter. "All time paradoxes should be solved in the most comforting fashion available."

[ooc: Oo! Of course, logging :). That scene will be awesome like burning.

*nodnod* Two days, and just an occasional, "And of course Adam said..." kinds of things the first day . . . Oo.

*pets dorky!Owen*]

[Private to Ianto]

*Waggles eyebrow* You know it.

Well, it's not like we're abandoning our posts. We were right there working the whole time!

[OOC: Eee hee hee. Ianto: I'm a murderer! Jack: Um, no.

*Bouncebounce* See, on it's own merits that episode was kind of meh. (Like JB's melodramatic acting. *winces*) But from an RP and character perspective, muahahaha.

Poor fluffy little Owen. But... I kind of like the real one better. :D]

[Private to Jack]

In detail, with annotations.

Maybe having two sets of us wouldn't be such a bad idea--we would get twice as much done in half the time.

[ooc: Yeah, JB was a bit winceworthy . . . but the story was pretty solid, I thought. And always a fun avenue to explore in SF.

The real one is growing on me so much this season. This is what they wanted him to be last series and didn't quite get.]

[Private to Ianto]

Either that or one hell of an orgy.

[OOC: *Pets him* It's all the musical theatre. It beat the subtlety out of him. But yeah, that was interesting. Even if I do have to reserve Grey in the bar as soon as possible. Ouch.

*Nods* Have you seen Reset yet?]

[Private to Jack]

*facepalms* Your catch-all answer to everything.

[ooc: OMG yes. You don't want him broken in-bar. That would suck.

OH YES, have you?]

[Private to Ianto]

I can't help that it's so often appropriate.

[OOC: Augh. Bar is for escaping canon!angst.

Yup. :D La, la, la.

[Private to Jack]

Well, I suppose it would be a good distraction for a few hours . . .

[ooc: Speaking of which, when will you be bringing Jack back in?]

[Private to Ianto]

*Grins* I think you may be right.

[OOC: When I get my arse in gear to run a poll on which episodes we skip. :( Doing most of the reeeally isn't working.]

[Private to Jack]

Next time we're all about to die, perhaps.

[ooc: *pets* Yeah, it's been a bit slow.

I have no idea what 1941!Jack will do when he sees Jack, btw. Probably be stunned for a bit.]

[Private to Ianto]

So, next Tuesday, you think?

[OOC: Woe.

Yeeeeah... wow, that'll be awkward. Especially as I still don't have a real name for Jack. (*TEARS HAIR OUT*) "So, you used my name... what is your real name?" "Um. Maybe just stick with James Harper?"]

[Private to Jack]

You know the date of the next apocalypse ahead of time? And yet so calm. My admiration of you just tripled.

[ooc: Heh, maybe that will be best. I doubt they'll give out Jack's real name anytime soon.]

[Private to Ianto]

I'm going by statistical probability.

[OOC: They do it just to hurt me. :(]

[Private to Jack]

"The world is ending. Must be Tuesday."

[ooc: *pats* It just lends to his aura of mystery!

. . . betcha it's Blue.

*runs away*]

[ooc: yup, probably the best bet.]
