Who: Ianto Jones and OPEN
Where: Rose's house and outside
When: Early morning
What: Guilt, mild panicking, and trying to figure out where he is
Rating: Low, at least to start

He woke up groggily and rubbed his hand over his face. Where was he? He could tell this wasn't his bed even before he had opened his eyes. Someone else's bed, then. With someone else in it. He slowly turned to find out who it was.

Harkness. Shit! He started quietly panicking, while trying to extricate himself from the covers without waking the man next to him. It took him a minute to find his clothes, since he had apparently thrown them in the hamper instead of the floor. How could he have done something like this? In exchange for a job? He struggled to remember, but could recall nothing of the previous night. How much had he had to drink? Or had he been retconned?

Either way, it didn't matter. It was done with now, and he had to get back to Lisa. Guilt welled up in him when he thought about her. He couldn't believe he had gone home with someone else; he loved her. He would find some way to help her, cure her.

He grabbed his wallet and mobile and shoved them in his pockets before slipping out of the room and down the hall. He let himself out, blinking in the sunlight. And realised he truly had no idea where he was. He didn't remember coming here and this didn't look like any area of Cardiff he was familiar with.

Melinda had managed to fall asleep in the library, it was ridiculous. She had spent numerous nights in the library and in the classroom to study for her final exams that were coming up. Realizing that she needed a shower and a few cups of coffee. Her hair was a mess and she was still really tired, maybe she could get some much needed sleep before studying some more or just taking the day to relax. The reason she wanted to stay in the library was because every time she managed to step outside and see some really cute guy she would want to jump his bones. It was just safer to stay where she was.

Putting her books inside her backpack she put it over her shoulders and began to walk out. Figuring that if she was tired that she wouldn't even pay attention to the cute boys that would be walking around.

As she was walking she just let out a sigh of relief, it felt good to get outside into the fresh air she took a drink from her water bottle that she was carrying with her. Approaching the apartment building, she saw a guy that looked a little lost. Going up to him she asked as she yawned, "You seem lost, can I help you out with anything?"

He looked around, trying to figure out what part of the city he had ended up in. Something about the whole place seemed off, but he couldn't put his finger on it. God, he wanted some coffee. He headed down the street, figuring that he certainly couldn't stay here.

As he was walking down the street, a young woman noticed him and came over. He couldn't just ask where he was, that would sound really great. She wasn't a local, to judge by her accent, but she had offered to help. "I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with this area. Which way is the main road?"

She was so tired that she barely recognized that she was standing in front of a good friend. Boy she was really losing it if she couldn't tell that it was Ianto that she was talking to. Perhaps she needed to go to bed, and immediately.

Giving a little laugh she fixed her bag and just looked at him. "I must be more tired than I thought I was, Ianto, what are you talking about? Main road? You know your way around this place, at least I would hope that you still do." She said. "I'm sorry for not recognizing you, I'm cramming for my finals that are coming up and running low on sleep."

	She might have been the one who was low on sleep, but who was the one who was feeling lost and confused. Nothing this woman said made any sense. She definitely seemed to know him, though. "I apologise, but I don't recall meeting you. And I honestly don't know where I am." Retcon seemed more and more likely. But why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So he had no idea who she was, what was going on here? Were people experiencing something different from her? This would only lead to more confusion if she continued to think about it any longer.

"Ianto, you seriously don't know who I am? I'm Melinda, I'm a friend of yours." She then shook her head, "You know I'm not even going to let my head explode with trying to figure out what is going on here. But your in Colligo, we've all been well, kidnapped would be the appropriate word here."

	"No, I don't remember you at all, sorry." The next part made even less sense. "Colligo? This isn't Cardiff?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, I'm sorry its not." She said shrugging her shoulders. Guessing that she could reintroduce herself. Holding out her hand after she took a drink from her water bottle. "Well, like I said earlier, I'm Melinda, Melinda Halliwell to be correct. I have to say that you are probably from a different time, this place likes to play tricks on us sometimes."

	He politely took her hand when she extended it. "Ianto Jones." She knew that, apparently but it felt weird to not say anything. "From a different time?" He looked more closely at her hair and clothing. "Looks like it's fairly close, at least. Is Colligo in America, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When she touched his hand she got those feelings again. She quickly took it away but it was no use. She then realized that she was drinking water, cursing at herself she knew who he was.

"Yes, you were here previously and now your saying that you have never been here before so you must be from a different time. And no its not in America." She wanted to ravage him, but also didn't want anything to be awkward either.

	"Ah, a different time from the other version of me." Amazing how working at Torchwood could make you used to saying things like that. "So, where are we, and why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	newkindacharmed 2012-05-06 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"That would be correct." She laughed as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "We are in a place Colligo, I don't know why but we were collected or kidnapped." He should have known that, she would play along with this for a little bit. Stepping closer to him, "So I could show you around if you want?" She said flirtatiously.

	"So is Colligo a...city, or facility, or what? Where is it?" He wasn't really paying attention to her tone, all things considered. So all he said was, "I guess. I could use some breakfast. And I'll need a place to stay, if I'm going to be here awhile." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I was told a while ago that its a planet or something. I don't really know, I just listened to what I was told and that was about it. Its a City and has everything that you will need."

So he needed a place to stay huh? This was all too perfect as she was needing something and feeling rather hot and bothered. "You can come to my place. I can cook you some breakfast and you can stay with me for as long as you'd like."

	"Another planet? We're not even on Earth anymore?" Really, this was too much to ask him to deal with, even if he was more prepared for it than most. "Thank you for the breakfast. But I'm not sure about staying...I mean, we know each other, but I don't really know you. Well, remember you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	newkindacharmed 2012-05-07 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"I don't think so. That's just what I have been told." She shrugged her shoulders. "I have a spare bedroom, its not like you have to sleep in the same bed as me." Though for right now it wouldn't be such a bad idea. "So what do you say about coming to my place, breakfast is the least that I can do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2012-05-07 12:18 am UTC (link)
	"Oh. Is there someone I can ask if I did want to know more?" "No, no, I didn't mean to imply anything!" His face reddened a bit, and he nodded. "Breakfast, at least, would be nice." "So," he began as they walked along, "do people usually just...end up here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm sure that there are other people that would know a lot more about it then I do. I just go with the flow of things around here. But I can tell you that its a planet of its own."

"I know that, I was just saying that if you need a place to sleep I have a spare bedroom that you can stay in." She then nodded her head, "Breakfast it is then."

"We just don't magically poof here. We were basically kidnapped or collected here by a man named Asaph." She said as she walked along side him and taking a drink from her water bottle.

	"All right. Thanks." "I'll think about it, thank you." He looked over at her. "You wouldn't happen to have any coffee, would you?" "Well, I just meant, um, I ended up in someone's house..." And someone else's bed. And I definitely shouldn't be sleeping with anybody else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hey its not a problem. Always willing to help a fri....I mean person when needed."

"Of course I have coffee. I don't go a day without a cup or two, actually make that three because of my finals that are coming up." She laughed. "And hey your very welcome. I have extra sheets just in case that you do decide that you want to stay."

"OH RIGHT! Well, no not exactly. When you first get here, you end up in the library. Maybe when your other you left and you replaced him, they put you in the same spot that last you were in?" Okay she was even confusing herself at this point.

	"Fantastic. Coffee would be wonderful. Although if you've already been up all night, maybe some sleep would be a good idea?" He didn't really follow that very well. "Um, well, maybe that's not the most important thing to worry about right now." (Reply to this) (Parent)
