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 maybe he's making a bit more of an effort to be social and outgoing these days, but that doesn't remove the awkward and it sure doesn't keep him from instinctively searching for familiar faces that he can latch on to for a moments respite. They're not exactly friends but they have talked a few times and that's good enough for Reid. ] Hey... happy holidays. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hi Reid. [She offers him a grin.] Happy Holidays. You came with Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How did you guess? [ Smiling! ] Are you here with someone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I saw her around here somewhere. [Haven't chatted her up yet, though.] And no, I'm flying solo tonight. Just means I get to hang around the mistletoe without feeling guilty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose there is that. [ Small talk... ] So, hey uhm... I haven't talked to you since Squall. Have you adjusted okay? Re-adjusted, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's good to be back. [For many, many reasons.] What about you? Enjoying having our slightly more customizable prison cell back, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you have no idea. I, uh... I don't really do as well under those kinds of circumstances as I should. It's nice to be back to a place where communal showers aren't prevalent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah those... [She awkwardly tucks her hair behind her ear, averting gaze.] Not fun. [More so when you're vibrantly blue, red and yellow.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ And since he knows that about her this time and even more so, has gained some understanding of what it's like being a mutant... ] Did anyone give you trouble? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-26 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh, no... but it wasn't a thrill not to have control. What little control we have here, over ourselves, you know? [Abilities, clothes, homes...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-26 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I get it... I think that's one of the things most of us have in common, regardless of background. It's unsettling to say the least, the way they can take complete control from us like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-27 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	There's nothing we can do, is there? Just hope it doesn't happen again? [Seeking reassurance for $200.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A beat of hesitation, followed by a sign of resignation. ] ...I'd like to say there is something, but so far... We're working on it, though. They're not going to have power over us forever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-29 07:38 am UTC (link)
	That's good to hear. If I can do anything to help, let me know. [Said in a tone that acknowledges there isn't much she can offer.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-29 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	I will. [ Reassuring smile. ] Actually... we're always looking for statements regarding unusual events. If you'd like to leave one about the time in Squall, that would be helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-31 06:14 am UTC (link)
	I can see what I can come up with. But it wasn't... really interesting. [But she nods, she'll try to get to that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're not looking for interesting, so that works out well. Consistency is a lot more scientifically viable. (Reply to this) (Parent)
