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.

	"Then good, we have a moral line to stand behind. Heh..." He unconsciously shifted over closer. "We could, if we had to, yeah. But... do you have family, friends?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's a good thing to have." He made a small sound. "A sister, yeah." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, it really is. Gets forgotten sometimes. Are you close?" He wasn't sure why he was going to volunteer something so personal, but he did anyway. "I had a younger brother." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It might be important, down the road. He nodded. "Yes, very. She's away in Africa now, though." He turned his head to look at Harkness, picking up on the past tense, but not wanting to pry. "And were you close too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Africa? Wow... I don't suppose we could run away there and pretend I was leading you on a wild manhunt." He turned his head as well, and nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, you could...And then just disappear. It's certainly a possibility." He returned the nod, not sure what else to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What about you, though?" He felt like he had to fill in the silence with something. "So yeah, faking our deaths... wouldn't want your sister to think she'd lost you, or not know if it was some cover-up. Worst feeling in the galaxy, not knowing if your brother's even alive or not."

	"What about me?" He nods. "You have a point. So maybe I could just lose track of you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If I went and disappeared, what would you do? In the depths of... somewhere. Except not really. I can't look for my friends in Africa." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Probably just go back, say I lost you, and face the disciplinary action. We do lose track of people sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Disciplinary... what would they do to you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know. Demotion, pay decrease....Could be worse, depending on what exactly happens. Or how much they figure out, I suppose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With some awkwardness, not sure if it would be welcomed, he put a hand on Ianto's shoulder in sympathy. "I'm sorry I got you into this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was tense, although from the touch or just the situation was impossible to tell. "Not your fault entirely." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-06 03:40 am UTC (link)
	He kept his hand there, but refrained from squeezing or otherwise pushing things. "Seems mostly mine, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Circumstances, really. Not your fault Torchwood is the way it is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"True... okay, blame where blame's due, then. Stupid Torchwood." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right, now that we've got that established..." He looked around, rather at a loss at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maybe we should at least get out of this building?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good idea. Just try to blend in with the crowds for now. I don't think anyone is looking for us yet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-06 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Right, so... blending in, how should I do that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked over at Jack and blinked a few times. "Just...um, the normal way. Act natural." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks." He smiled slightly and laughed at himself. "I guess asking if something is 21st century natural would not at all be that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
