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.

	"I definitely intend to. Now..." he said, pulling open the drawers and taking out some menus and fliers, is there a kind of food you particularly like?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mmmmkay! Maybe some Chinese? Although the take out can be kind of weird...How about Middle Eastern?" he asks, in case Jack has an opinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"'Kind of weird' doesn't sound 'kind of delicious'. Middle Eastern? I know the region, but not the food, I don't think." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, it can be good! But sometimes it can also be overly sweet, or sticky, or something." He thought. "Hmmm...well, they have a lot of flat breads with different dipping sauces, use a lot of grains and lentils, ground lamb, and it's very well...not hot spicy, but highly spiced, lots of different flavours and herbs and things..."

	"All right!" He leafed through the fliers, looking for a Middle Eastern place. If not, they could ask at the desk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked through some of the fliers as well as he could one-handed, busy keeping the other arm around Ianto. "Is this the right kind of place?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Do they bring it here, or do we get it there and bring it here? I guess if we're going out there for clothes, it makes sense to bring food back, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-11 08:18 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, we should go get it. Actually, here." He entered the number of the restaurant into his phone. "This way we can order it when we're done shopping, since we don't know how long that will take, and pick it up as soon as it's done." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh!" He watched Ianto do that, curious to see more of how that technology worked. "Mobile phone, right? One of the friends I'm trying to get back to had one of those. Different model, though. Are there a lot of types?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-11 08:25 am UTC (link)
	"Right. Cell phone, in some parts of the world." He mods. "Oh dozens, at least. And it changes every year. Every month, even." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He gave his wrist a little wave to indicate the strap. "This works as a communicator, too-- but really only with like devices. It'd be nice if I could directly contact your phone with it. Those network systems mess it up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-11 08:37 am UTC (link)
	"So no um, what do they call it, backwards compatibility?" He looked to Jack, then pulled his phone from his pocket to stare at it. "How does that work?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"This is really meant to communicate right with another system, but your phone isn't, right? It goes to some kind of relay thing, which goes up to a satellite or some other relay, and then off to someone else's phone. It doesn't send the signal directly from phone to phone itself." He looked at Ianto's phone as well, then grinned. "So even though I'm from the future... the technology wasn't designed that smart. I'd have to use one of your current phones!"

	"Yes, that's right. I guess you have to communicate with the satellite to get to my phone." He looked at Jack's...watch thing. "Hmmm...That might be a problem." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
