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.]

	I got plenty of better things to do. It's a Christmas party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And here's the part where I through the whole schtick where I'm like, yo lil D, ain't it the shit how you're just like me cuz you are me. Time to throw down these sick facts about both of us. This sort of party blows. It's a fuckin' mingle and we hate talkin' to people like this. But if you talk to me, you don't gotta deal with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're not identical. My social conditioning was radically different from yours. Maybe I like mindless mingling. Ever think of that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel like this sort of thing is a universal constant. [Shrugs.] Been wrong before. You like this? You havin' fun hangin' out alone with the food? Enjoyin' some deep and meaningful conversations with the whatever the hell this is? [He's holding up a spinach puff, which he immediately stuffs into his mouth.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't spend every single moment in the company of others. [ A pointed glare. "Others" includes you, Bro. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 04:14 am UTC (link)
	[Oh does it? Never would have guessed.] Bet we could spend a whole fuckin' hour keeping up this hella cute banter. How 'bout you open this present instead. [Holding out one of the boxes he flashed earlier.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk's mouth drops open to retort, but then there's a box being held out toward him. He takes it with a scowl, rips it open. Not that he actually intends to keep whatever's inside. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 04:20 am UTC (link)
	[Yeah, no, he is definitely not going to want to keep this. (or is he......) It's edible blue body paint. Bro's face is completely blank but he's holding out another box.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 04:22 am UTC (link)
	[ Why. Why does Bro know about that fetish. No. He is throwing this away as soon as he is out of Bro's line of sight, or possibly sooner. He takes the other box with a belabored Dirk sigh and opens it, though. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 04:47 am UTC (link)
	[It has an orange smuppet in it. It's got a cute little hat! And he's holding another box. This one has small holes all along the top.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 04:49 am UTC (link)
	[ Dirk lifts the smuppet out of the box and scowls. It's... so good. So well-put-together. So much better than his smuppets. Fuck, he hates Bro. He shoves it back into the box and rather than taking that third one, hands the two back. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 04:52 am UTC (link)
	[He doesn't take them, just continues holding out the box.] You're gonna wanna open this one, kid. It's got some strings attached to it, but you'll want it regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 04:54 am UTC (link)
	[ Yeah, because that really makes him want to take it. He sets the other boxes aside on the nearby table -- precariously right over a trash can -- and takes the third box. He sighs overdramatically and opens it up. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 05:06 am UTC (link)
	[It's Cal, dressed up like a cute little elf. His normal outfit outfit is also in the box.] I'm startin' joint custody until you get your lil man back. I'll pick him up on 230. Cool? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Dirk Strider: :\$ smuppeteer 2013-07-08 05:13 am UTC (link)
	[ Dirk stares. He doesn't even know how to react to this. His hands shake a little as he lifts Cal out of the box. And then he shoves him back in and holds the box out toward Bro. ] What are you after. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 05:26 am UTC (link)
	[LOOKS OVER HIS SHADES AND RAISES AN EYEBROW. are you seriously rejecting cal right now, dude??] Why the fuck are you lookin' a gift horse in the goddamn mouth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Because you have some ulterior motive. Why would you be doing this if you didn't get anything out of it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Even if I do get somethin' out of this, why do you give a shit? Ain't whatever it is I'm gettin' equivalent to being able to have Cal with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 05:51 am UTC (link)
	[ The problem is he has no idea what Bro could be getting out of an arrangement like this. ] Man, I don't know. You're the one being all inscrutable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 06:05 am UTC (link)
	[And he would never tell Dirk that it's honestly nothing. Being nice has never really been a thing for him, even if that's what this is.] If you don't wanna take C-man, it ain't no skin off my back. [Cal's little hat jingles softly, invitingly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 06:23 am UTC (link)
	[ Such an inviting jingle... ] He don't got a spy camera installed in his eyes, does he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 06:45 am UTC (link)
	[jingle jingle jingle] I'm sure you're proficient enough in that shit to be able to find out for yourself if he does or not. Ain't interested in watching you and English blushin' and scuffin' your feet at each other like the little virgins you are anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 07:45 am UTC (link)
	[ After another moment of holding the box out, he brings it back closer to himself to look down at Cal. Those big loving eyes, that friendly smile. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	[He loves you, Dirk. Don't make him stay in the box, even if it does have air holes and soft tissue keeping it warm and comfortable.] Man, if you don't pick his cute little elf ass up right this fuckin' instant, I'm taking him back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-08 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, okay. Jeez. [ He scoops Cal up out of the box, which he tosses into the nearby trash can. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
