Day 226 l Christmas Party Mingle
[Ianto has, predictably, gone a bit overboard for the Christmas party he and Jack are throwing. The entire apartment has been decorated; there's a tree with gold and silver ornaments and twinkling lights, garlands draped over doorways, candles in every window and festive nicknacks scattered about. It looks like something out of a magazine, and may make visitors a little afraid to actually touch anything. There's also a lot of mistletoe around (one of the side effects of living with Captain Jack Harkness) so it's probably a good idea to keep one eye on the ceiling at all times.

Of course he's made plenty of coffee and some appetizers, so he hopes people really do respond to the invitation Jack sent out, otherwise there are going to be a hell of a lot of leftovers.]

	So, not initially intended to be so public. He must be a hard guy to kiss normally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Quite the opposite, actually. But looking around for mistletoe gave him something to do while I finished decorating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Definitely amused looking.] It sounds like you know how to handle him. Well, it was nice of you both to do the party thing. Not like the wardens gave us much time to prepare. Not that I'm so much a Christmas person, being Jewish and all, but who knows when they'll declare Hanukkah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I considered going for a more generic holiday party, but I decided being this over the top served essentially the same purpose in the end. Its an excuse for a get-together, more than anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's okay. I like a good excuse as much as the next person. I think we party more in prison than I ever did with my freedom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can agree with that. Christmas has become synonymous with attempted alien invasion lately, at least where I'm from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	That could be exciting. Maybe some aliens will want the prison. It's a nice little piece of real estate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm quite happy to go a day or two without something trying to destroy this place, thank you. One giant monster is more than enough for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	It's not like you can schedule giant attacking monsters though. You just have to deal with them as they come like one of those carnival games where you have the mallet and have to bob them as they come up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wonder why they've never written and Christmas carols on the subject. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	It's a mystery. [Smirking.] Is that your way of saying we should speak of more festive things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-07 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Its my way of making a particularly clever joke, I though. A talent of mine, obviously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	Obviously. I always come back for more. So... [Looking around.] Have you made a drinking game out of Jack trying to kiss people under the mistletoe yet and is there still time to get in on it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-07 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	That's the most brilliant idea I've heard all night. I'm so disappointed I didn't think of it first. Do we drink for flirtatious attempts to lure someone under it or does he actually have to be successful in kissing them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	Good question. Just how drunk do we want to get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-07 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Well it is Christmas. Might as well make a night of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-08 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs. She likes you, Ianto.] Here's to getting drunk then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-09 12:35 am UTC (link)
	[Its quite mutual.] Cheers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 12:46 am UTC (link)
	[She will clink her glass and take a drink.] Let the games begin? You're not going to get me extra drunk by baiting him all night are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-09 01:21 am UTC (link)
	No, he'll manage that on his own. I just figure if I'm going to spend the rest of the night watching him kiss other people I might as well be drunk for it. [Said not bitterly, exactly, but not quite as lighthearted as before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 01:29 am UTC (link)
	[Her expression softens at that tone. There might just be some sympathy creeping in here.] Hey, you know what I just noticed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-09 01:37 am UTC (link)
	What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 01:41 am UTC (link)
	We're under some of that mistletoe of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-09 01:45 am UTC (link)
	[He can appreciate that she's trying to lighten the mood, and laughs as he looks up to spot the plant.] So we are. I suppose we drink for ourselves, as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 01:50 am UTC (link)
	[She nods with false seriousness.] It's the proper thing to do. After. [After what you might ask? Well, after the kiss of course. She leans in having no intention to do anything but give him a peck. And actually she aims for the corner of his mouth. A little more than cheek and a little less than lips.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
