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 led Jack out of the hotel and down the street. "Nothing too fancy, as far as clothes are concerned. Jeans and t-shirts would be best." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He took Jack to a nearby department store, heading over to the racks of jeans. He looked through a few pairs before pulling one out and handing it to Jack. "Here. I'm guessing this is your size, but you should try them on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-12 02:31 am UTC (link)
	He wasn't sure how to look for sizing in this place, so he was quite find with leaving choices up to Ianto. Besides-- whatever would make him look very good to Ianto was VERY fine with him. Of course, when Jack started to unbutton his jeans right there, he probably would need some instruction in what trying things on in the 21st century required. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No! No, stop! You can't do that here; you have to go to a fitting a room." He looked around, scanning the ceiling for a sign. "Over there," he pointed, heading in that direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-12 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"A what room?" Slightly alarmed (at first) at Ianto having to jump in so quickly to say that, but oh-- yeah, if that wasn't culturally acceptable, that would REALLY mess up the (in)conspicuous thing. "So do I get fitted here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-12 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"A fitting room. To try on the clothes and see if they fit." He shook his head. "Some stores do, but personalised service tends to be more expensive." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-12 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"Why isn't it a try-on room, then? Silly naming. Ok, room, not middle of store!" He carried the jeans towards that area. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-12 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know. I'll write them a letter and complain." He grinned and shook his head, following Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-12 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Make sure you use big words!" He peered around, trying to figure out the whole fitting room thing. "Do we go into one of those?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-12 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"I will!" He shook his head. "Just you. Not really enough room for two people." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So, I'm assuming I close the door while I do that, but can I show you how they look?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-12 04:08 am UTC (link)
	"Yep. Just keep the door closed while you're changing; you can come out afterwards and show me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-12-12 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"Okay!" Jack did so, stepping out to show Ianto the jeans, and back in when Ianto wanted him to try something else on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2011-12-12 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"Mmm, those are very nice." He looked Jack up and down. "How do they fit?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmmm... Snug, but in a good way." Especially good when Ianto reacted that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
