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.

	"Awwwww. So there's no point in breaking into it unless you have to break your own stuff out, huh?" He made sure the door was locked behind them, then had a better look over the room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Um, all right. Well, the beds are clearly beds, and that's a night table between them. The switches on the wall are for the lamps. Those drawers are probably empty, except maybe for a list of local restaurants. And perhaps Bible. Um, the sacred text of one of our major religions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Restaurants, that's good. Oh, I know about that text, actually. We have to study things like that before we go back to certain time periods. Wouldn't want to get caught up in the Inquisition, right?" He walked over to test a mattress with his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He grinned. "So someone actually does expect the Spanish Inquisition?" Not that expected Harkness to pick up on that bit of cultural trivia. He gestured vaguely. "That's the television over there, but I doubt we'll be watching it. And that's a little fridge, for if you bring leftovers back from a restaurant, or buy beer or something. Don't drink any of the liquor that's in there, though, they'll charge you waaaaay more than what it's worth."

	He boggled at Ianto for a moment and laughed. "Didn't take you for a Pythonite! Anyway... the capital-letter "Church" is still around in my time, but they're pretty different from centuries ago." He looked around as Ianto gestured, noting what things were. "Not touching that liquor, got it!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He stared for a second, mouth hanging open. "Certainly didn't expect you to be!" He nodded. "In a good way, I hope?" He looked around. "Right. If we want something we'll go buy it from a store. Anything else you're unsure of?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They're only one of the most culturally significant groups of this time!" He made a so-so hand gesture. "Some of their branches, ehhh... the troops can get a bit trigger-happy." He thought for a moment and gave Ianto's arm a squeeze. "Should we, ah... get anything from the store, then? Or go out later?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-10 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	He thought about that. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Good to know they survive the test of time." He blinked a few times. "Troops? Do I really want to know?" He grinned and stepped in closer. "Well, I could do with something to eat. And maybe we should look into a few changes of clothes?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lots of great things do-- and it's important to be aware of the pop culture when you go somewhen." He shrugged. "Maybe you really don't! They're a theological-military force, I guess you could say. I didn't really associate with them much." He gave Ianto a more thorough squeeze and smiled. "Yeah, probably a good idea. Worked up an appetite already." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I suppose we do record them in more permanent formats now than they did a thousand years ago." He shakes his head. "No, that doesn't sound very good at all." He grinned. "And we'll need our energy for later." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It also helps when you can go back in time to recover and archive something that's been lost." ... Aaaannnd there's that distracting rush of arousal again. "Oh boy." Didn't quite mean to voice that out loud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
