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.]

[There was a party invitation and Raven took it. Maybe it took hopping domes back and forth to realize how few people she really knew all that well but the holiday season has her feeling a bit more like reaching out and trying to be social. Notable with how she'll smile to nearby individuals once she arrives, otherwise floating from place to place and table to table looking for an excuse to chat.]

	[Jack wanders over not long after she arrives, openly appreciative of her outfit and the figure inside it but trying not to be too over the top because she looks a tiny bit unsure of herself.] Hi! I don't think we've met, and I really think we should have! [He offers his hand, with a charming smile.] Captain Jack Harkness. And you are...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Don't worry, Jack. Flirtation's always been a double-edged sort of validation for her, very welcome despite it really doing nothing for her inner issues. She beams a smile, hand daintily extended to shake his.] Raven. Pleasure to meet you... Captain Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She has a very pretty smile that he can't help enjoying very much. Instead of shaking her hand, he raises it to his lips and kissed it, warm and relatively unassuming, eyes twinkling at her over it.] A pleasure to meet you too, Raven. Can I get you something to drink? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her brows will rise, but the smile only turns into a wider grin. Impressive, Captain.] I'd love that. A curler'd be groovy, if you've got it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He glances ruefully towards the drinks table.] …I’m not sure we’ve got any rum here, unless you brought some yourself? Little bit limited with regards to alcohol, thanks to the warden’s stupid rules about how much one person can buy per week. We have a great punch though, if you’d like to try that?

	[She raises her brows, but shrugs with a smile.] Punch it is then. This place is quite festive, I love it. [She says while admiring the decorations.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-23 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. Ianto did most of the decorating, but I helped out a bit. Added that essential touch of chaos to his perfection, or something like that, apparently! [He's in a somewhat silly mood, and he tries to unobtrusively edge her towards some mistletoe when he brings back her punch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-24 07:37 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't notice the efforts yet, though they succeed bit by bit.] So just what are you a Captain of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-25 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, all sorts of things. Most recently a team of alien-fighters in South Wales. [He cocks a glance at her to see how she'll react to that, because that's always fun, as he makes the final push to get her under that mistletoe.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-26 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Al-iens...? [She gives him a confused look, but catches on soon enough to what she's standing beneath. Then she purses her lips, giving him an amused look and assuming the alien line was simply a distraction.] Uhuh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uhuh. [He gives her an innocent look that probably just solidifies the idea in her head that the alien thing is just a ruse, and then grins, glancing up at the mistletoe and then back down at Raven.]

Oh my, look what we're standing under! I wonder how on earth that happened! [With a wicked twinkle in his eye.] I suppose we'd better do something about it. Can't fly in the face of tradition, after all!

	Nicely done, Captain Alien-fighter. [She laughs, inclining her head.] Well it's true, tradition is tradition. [So she nods her head, alright, come get your kiss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ 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)

	andproud 2013-07-05 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Hi Reid. [She offers him a grin.] Happy Holidays. You came with Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	How did you guess? [ Smiling! ] Are you here with someone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-07-05 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	andproud 2013-07-13 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-15 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	andproud 2013-07-23 04:26 am UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-23 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)
