How to manage the dodecahedron of love - bring your partners or go alone to discuss the many difficulties, challenges and garbage fires that come with a polyamorous lifestyle.

[If he's entirely honest Ianto doesn't feel as though he actually needs to attend any sort of therapy session today. He's never had a high opinion of them even at home and all the other ones he's been to here have been disastors of some sort. This session just sounds like the easiest option. It isn't as though he won't know most of the other people here after all. Maybe they can get through it relatively painlessly.]

[Jaden's got no rhyme or reason to how he's attending sessions today, popping in and out at his leisure to a variety of them. This isn't the first or last he'll wander through, entering with his hands in the pockets of his blazer and a curious glance given about the room. There's something distinctly off if anyone were to study him for an extended period of time - an awkwardness that isn't social but more simply physical. Like he's adjusting to having limbs for the first time - sort of that feeling of putting on a pair of heels and being unexpectedly taller. It takes time to get used to it.

Time well spent among the uh, 'collective'.]
Good morning!

[Well there go any plans for an uneventful day of therapy. Ianto recognizes him from Mary's message the other day and can't say he's entirely thrilled about attracting more attention in that regard. Still, good manners seem to have served him well where she's concerned. May as well try them here.]

Good morning. I didn't expect you two to be taking such a hands on approach with us so soon.

[And he wasn't expecting it either, not until a few days ago.] Seems only fair.

These meetings are usually about coming to terms with issues, understanding and learning from them. It seemed like something to gain a few insights from, while also having a presence to chat at the very least. Mary knows you all a lot better than I do.

[He seems every bit as terrible at pretending to be human as Mary does, which is a useful if unsurprising piece of information.]

Are you planning on spilling your darkest secrets here then? Or just observing us?

[Rebecca doesn't mind this event today, it actually does seem well timed for a dome upheaval like they've just faced. A lot of unanswered questions and wondering of the next steps to take. There are a few meetings she's interested in looking in at. But today she's walking with Aidan for a first look over, fingers gently intertwined as she reads out group names aloud.

The sign for Poly-amorous individuals comes up next, giving her pause. She tilts her head to look at him.]

[ It's nice that it's not mandatory, but honestly he didn't have much against it before either. For awhile he helped Miranda put together a group that did more or less the same thing, but like with so many other things here nothing really came of it.

He gives Rebecca a confused look when she stops, brows furrowed. ]

[She's happy they're holding hands because it lets her give his a gentle squeeze, brushing elbow to elbow. It's been a long while since they got together the responsible way, and a few days since the restrictions of such were lifted. Yet somewhere in the middle they haven't had the biggest discussion about it, or them, aside from her confessing her crush on Chuck to him that one time. And even then, that wasn't more than sharing what was on her mind.]

There's a group - but I don't know if we meet criteria. [Her eyes are carefully scanning his face.] It's for poly people. Open, y'know, relationships.

[ He hasn't really thought about it outside of feeling kind of okay about confessing crushes around her. It feels like a long step from that to actually messing around with other people but he can't say he's all that opposed to the idea. ]

Oh, you mean like... [ He shifts his weight, clearing his throat. ] You, uhm... you wanna do that?

I don't know. [She answers honestly, without pause.]

It's not something we talked too much about... but with all the changes that just happened, maybe we should? [There's no more restrictions. It feels suddenly more like home, where monogamy relied on loyalty and devotion. Things she's happy to keep up with, but it still feels like they skirt around truly defining what they are. Even with a bunch of kids in one mystical future together.]

What do you think?

[ You know he probably wouldn't want to be seen dead in here (hah!) if it had been a few months prior, but it's no big secret that Spike's found himself in some weird sex constellation and quite frankly, he doesn't want to be the one to screw it up. It's strange and foreign and he can't just do what he usually does and follow his heart. Love isn't the only thing in play here. Nothing is easy and everything sucks.

So, he attends, surprisingly serious, surprisingly quiet, intent on gleaning some advice off other people rather than talk all that much himself. For once, he's miles outside his comfort zone. ]

It's the only group he has any intention of attending and, frankly, he's there just as much in the hope that he can help other people with the idea or widen some horizons than to work through his own issues, even though his own issues really could do some working through.

No surprises whatsoever at who's here already, and seeing Spike by himself and looking so serious, he heads over to him with a casual grin.

"Hey. Anything on your mind I can help with, or should I shove off and let you talk to people you aren't already shagging?"

He's not sure what he expected, really. Of course Jack would show up here, perhaps even more so after the announcement that there would be no more monitoring. Weirdly enough, Spike misses the stark blue band on his wrist. It meant something, proved that he was willing to commit to this and now? Who knows. Everything is uncertain and it probably shows in the way he shifts his weight. Nervous? Nah. Uncomfortable? Absolutely.

"Figures you'd be here." He aims for snarky, but doesn't quite reach all the way. "You been keeping the answers to yourself this whole time?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]foreverjack
2017-05-15 11:53 am UTC (link)
It does change things. In some ways, it's making him feel less sure of himself around Spike - okay, this is the first time he's been around Spike since the announcement, but he's been thinking about him, of course he has, and what this all means for their odd and rather uneven relationship, which is still a hell of a lot more about Ianto and him, and Ianto and Spike and a lot less about him and Spike, and probably always will be.

"Surprisingly enough, I don't actually have all the answers," he says dryly. He snorts softly and waves an arm around as if to encompass the dome in general. "I thought I had this all more or less figured out here, and then they throw a complete change to the system at us and I feel like I'm flailing and lost all over again!"

[ He wasn't quite sure why he was here at therapy at all. He'd had more than his fill of them, and he didn't much like them. Someone else trying to tell him how he felt? What he knew? No thank you. But here was, and okay, maybe this one could be helpful. He was in a more 'committed' relationship than he had ever been, but the truth was he didn't want to be monogamous. He knew he wasn't capable of it. But he didn't want to do a disservice to Wade either. That wasn't fair. So... okay, he was here.

He looked to Spike and smiled faintly at the vampire. ]


How are things?

[ He knew of their troubles through Ianto and Jack, to a degree, and he liked the vampire. Besides, if he talked about someone else he might not have to talk about himself. ]

[ Honestly, he's not sure if it's a good or a bad thing to have Kirk around here. The guy is so similar to Jack and being sandwiched between two people who'd fuck an exhaust pipe given the chance... well, that's not really why he's here. Still, he likes Kirk well enough. It's fine. Don't expect him to go talking about himself though.

(This will go great.) ]


Fine. [ He shrugs. ] At least I won't get tazed for leaving early. [ Yep, that happened a lot. ]

You here as a spectator, or..?

[ Wow, he would not fuck an exhaust pipe! Exhaust pipes cannot consent sir. Or... maybe they can in Spike's world, who the hell knows right? ]

Wait... has this happened before?

[ He glanced around them and back at Spike with a raise brow. ]

Jack's hanging around the edges watching what's going on, topping up his coffee at regular intervals, ready to offer information or advice to anyone thinking of embarking into polyamory, or perhaps even to those few who already practise it.

Of course, he has issues of his own he could probably do with talking about too...

Cue Kirk sidling up beside him, once again with the offer of a coffee in his hand.

"We really have to stop meeting like this," he teased him lightly, shields already up despite himself.

It shouldn't really be a surprise to see Kirk in here, but somehow Kirk's appearance catches him unprepared.

So he's a little guarded too, even as he takes the offered coffee with a smile. "Well, as long as you keep bringing me coffee, how can I refuse!" he teases lightly, and then realises: "Actually, the whole thing with Ianto started with him bringing me coffee." He lifts an eyebrow, lips twisting wryly. "You're not trying to seduce me to hide the fact you want to hide your dangerous Cyberman girlfriend in my basement, are you?"

"Excuse me, sir, but I hide by Cyberman girlfriends in the attic, like a gentleman," he huffed in mock indignation, even though he had no idea what a Cyberman was, but he was guessing it wasn't anything good if one had to hide them.

"Besides, we both know trying to seduce you right now would be considered impolite, at the least."

Mary has been going from group to group throughout the day, checking in on the participants and joining conversations when appropriate. Seeing Jack across the room, she gives him a knowing smile and a little wave hello.

[info]foreverjack
2017-05-15 11:44 am UTC (link)
He's still not quite sure how he feels about Mary following the recent changes and whether he trusts her assurances or not, so she gets a somewhat reserved smile in response to her wave, without the usual flirtatiousness. To be fair, despite the obvious potential for flirtation given the subject of the group, he's actually trying to take it seriously rather than as an opportunity to find other people to sleep with.

(Even if he can't help being just a little curious about that side of things with Mary, given that he knows that what he's seeing is not her true form.)

Being Jack, he does stroll over to speak to her. "So, are you just here to observe or do you actually some polyamory issues you need resolving?" he asks dryly.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]muliebrities
2017-05-16 07:58 am UTC (link)
Reservation is to be expected. Truth be told she would probably not put quite so much effort into getting Jack on her side if it wasn't for Ianto — it's a curious thing how one part of a couple can act so differently to the other.

"Observing." She smiles, warm and approachable. "Polyamory isn't a concept that exists in my culture, on account of it being the only option available."

A little sliver of personal information, an olive branch if you'd like and knowing what she knows about him, she has high hopes that it'll pique his interest.
