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.]

	[She finds herself smiling back at him easily.] Should I ask what's in it first or just hope for the best? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He winks.] A little bit of this, a little bit of that! It's not horrifically alcoholic, if that's what you're worried about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-05 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Jack, with you, that is the least of my concerns. [Little smirk.] Thanks. [Reaching for the cup, not really considering it dangerous.] Nice party you've got going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-05 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Well, there's nothing else at all scary in it either! [But he hands it over with a grin, and clinks his cup against hers.] Cheers. [Glancing round at the as yet relatively small gathering.] Yeah, not the biggest party ever, but everyone seems to be smiling, at least. Though I guess there's a limit to how many people you could fit in this space anyway! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-05 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	Cheers. [She takes a trusting sip.] Probably. Might even have robots show up complaining about fire codes or something. It could be a social experiment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-05 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	You know, now I just want to do an experiment to see how many people we could squeeze in here? You know, like how many people in a phone box type thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-05 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	You think we're all ready to get that cozy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-07 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	[He glances round at the room, and gives a wry grin at the assorted flock he's managed to gather here.]] Yeah, maybe not. [A touch regretful, but he counters that by noticing a bit of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling nearby.] You know, we really should move just a foot or so to the right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Should we? I wonder why. [Who is the most transparent of all men from the future?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-07 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	[Hey, he's not even trying to be subtle here! Why bother, when it's so much more fun being obvious? He grins, sinfully, eyes twinkling, daring her to refuse.] Don't wonder, just oblige me, mmm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	[She's about to be the subject of her own invented drinking game with Ianto, isn't she? Still, she can't quite find it in herself to say no as she takes a step to the right.] I guess it would be rude not to oblige the host. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-07 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	[Playfully, because he trusts her not to make a big thing out of it] It would be criminally rude, yes. [He follows her to the right, glances up to check the position of the mistletoe, and then reaches out a hand to lightly cup her jaw as he leans down to place a warm, friendly kiss on her lips.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	[She kisses back too though she doesn't push for anything more than it is even if certain future pheromones are a thing. There is an oddness to kissing someone who isn't Reid even if she's certainly been through enough mandatory mistletoe bot kisses to have experience in that arena. She pulls back with a little smile.] You know I have to drink now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He quirks an eyebrow.] What, do I taste that bad? Or is it to blot out the memory? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-08 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	You taste just fine [Probably a little better than fine, but she's not thinking about that, okay?] and I think I can handle the memory. Ianto and I have a thing though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-08 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	A thing? [He has no clue. And his brain is whirring madly trying to work out what on earth she could mean.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-08 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	A drinking game thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-08 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives her a very, very amused look.] Oh yeah? [And then he automatically searches out Ianto in the crowd to see how smug he's looking.] A mistletoe drinking game, I assume? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-08 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	So sharp. This is why they call you a captain, right? [Smiling back at him when he does look her way again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2013-07-09 12:36 am UTC (link)
	[He's not coming over to join the conversation, but yes, Ianto is smirking at them and making a point of taking a drink. Carry on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-09 07:03 am UTC (link)
	...And here I was thinking I'd probably be the one to get drunk tonight. [He notes Ianto's smirk - and his drink - with an amused quirked eyebrow, and then looks back at Kitty with a smirk of his own.] Oh absolutely. Well, have fun with that, the two of you! [Because of course he's going to take this as a challenge. He is Jack Harkness, after all!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles at Ianto briefly too. No hard feelings she hopes. She doesn't even dare to look to see if Reid was watching.] I could swear that almost sounds like a threat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-09 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	[His grin gets a little bit wider, teeth showing.] Not a threat. More like a challenge. [He spreads his hands to indicate all the people at the party.] There are quite a few people here, after all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-09 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Should I go around apologizing to them now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-09 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	What, in advance? That would take all the fun out of it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
