ianto jones, jack harkness

Who: Ianto Jones and OPEN
Where: The streets of Colligo
When: After this and any subsequent events.
What: Walking and looking for clues

It was difficult, working without leads, contacts, allies. He was good, he was one of the best, but he wasn't a magician. He couldn't conjure the man out of thin air. Still, all his intelligence pointed to Harkness being here. They wouldn't have sent a top agent if they weren't completely sure; at least, he hoped they wouldn't.

He'd settled into his assigned flat, although that hadn't taken long. He didn't expect to spend much time there, it wasn't like wanted assassins just came up and knocked on the door. Once that was done, he headed out into the streets, not sure what he was looking for. Yet.

OOC: Meet Jones. Ianto Jones. Ianto was fired from Torchwood One and had his memory erased for voicing doubts about the use of the Ghost Machine. The government was still interested in him, though, so he was transferred and became a secret agent. He never returned to Cardiff and never worked for Torchwood Three. As far as he knows, Jack Harkness is a suspected assassin he has been assigned to track.

	He took deep breaths, sitting down slowly. "It's ours, it's ours, it's ours...." His lips are moving, but he couldn't hear if there was sound coming out or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was difficult to discern what Jones said at first, but the repetition helped. "Whose? What's yours?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So when I said-- that thing I said-- that meant something to you?" He didn't want to repeat it in case it set off another painful attack of whatever that was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes." He turned to look at Harkness, eyes still not really focusing. "So many times..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked back at Jones, concern not letting up at all with that unfocused confusion. "So many times what? You heard it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked over to Jack, a bit startled at how close he was, seemingly all of a sudden. "You're not crazy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-11-21 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Wow. Well. Of course Jack knew that he wasn't, but for Jones to realize it would change things. Probably. Or Jones would just turn him in anyway. "No, I'm not. Are you okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What a sense of adventure you have." He held out his arm so Ianto could read if he wanted. "It detected a chemical in your body that acts on your memory." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He squinted, but things were still a little blurry, and reading seemed to take more concentration than it should. "Really?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-11-21 06:12 am UTC (link)
	"Really. I'm not familiar with the exact drug, but I think it works to suppress more memory with a higher concentration. I can't tell just how relatively high or not yours is without a comparison." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He let his eyes roam over Harkness' face. It was right there, after all, and much easier to focus on than the watch thingy with all its reading. "You have really blue eyes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-11-21 06:35 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, you, um-- they're blue, too." He wasn't sure if he should be flattered or alarmed by the disconnect, but for the time being, it was the former. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He sat there and let his breathing return to normal. Things slowly started to come back into focus, and his brain started to present him with a series with of facts that he would much rather have done without. Such as: the man next to him most definitely was not crazy, Torchwood was real, he had worked there not long ago, if anything else Harkness had told him was true (and there was no reason to doubt, anymore), then he could not let Harkness fall into their hands, that he would do well to stay away from Torchwood himself, and wow, those were amazingly blue eyes, weren't they.
