[Day 237] Relationship Issues Group Therapy mingle
[The relationships group therapy attendees will all get a message telling them to report to The Winery in Sector 2. Sadly for them the alcohol is locked away, but there is an assortment of food and non-alcoholic beverages along the bar for consumption. Many of the tables have been cleared out and the chairs rearranged into a circle with booths along the edges for more intimate therapeutic discussions.

And don't forget the party favors! The wardens have left some helpful games and activity ideas to get them started. There's a bowl full of folded slips of papers with various questions.]


How many people have you slept with? Do you regret any of them? Why?

How many relationships have you been in? Why do you think that is?

What was your longest relationship? Most serious? Shortest? Most casual?

Why did your last relationship end?

What do you look for in another person?

Are you happy?

Who is your ideal mate?

What was the biggest problem/complication in your previous or current relationship?

What do you need out of a relationship? Sexual experience?

How long have you been single between relationships? Why do you think it was so long/short?

What is the best way to break up with someone?

Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you have or will meet yours?

Would you rather spend your life with one important person or several acquaintances? Why?

Are there any similarities between the people you've been with? If so, what are they?

Do you have trouble making choices? Give examples.

Do you think with your heart, your head, or your genitalia? Are you satisfied with this behavior?

Do you have trouble relating to people? If so, in what way?


[In addition to the questions there are cards with various prompts. One explains the game, I Never. Another suggests people pair off and roleplay they are in a relationship and then deal with various scenarios like what do to if one partner flirts with someone else or comes home late without calling.]


Who should do the dishes?

When is it appropriate to discuss getting blue bands/having sex?

When should you move in together if ever?

What do you do if you suspect the other is keeping secrets?

What do you say if your partner comes home with a haircut you don't like?

How do you respond if you find your partner crying?

How do you decide how to spend your time together?

Your partner's family doesn't like you. What do you do?

One of you is critically hurt. How does the other respond?

Your friends don't like the person you're with. What do you say to them? What do you say to your partner?

One of you wants sexual relations and the other does not. How do you balance your needs?

How do you communicate your desire for a particular sexual desire to your partner?

It is your partner's birthday. How do you prepare?

At a party your partner leaves you to socialize with others. How does this make you feel and how do you respond?

How do you show your affection?


(OOC: Mingle style. You are not limited to the questions, scenarios, or games listed above. Assume there are more! I recycled a lot of this from last time so if someone was in this group twice they can feel free to notice, but assume there are lots of questions and prompts, so they probably didn't see them all.)

[His eyes twinkle.] You already know we're living together. I think you can work out how that happened!

[ Oh no you're not getting away with that! ] There are a lot of ways two people could end up living together.

Fair point. Actually, how we ended up living together is relatively boring. We arrived here on the same day and so it just naturally made sense to get an apartment together. It wasn't so much a 'moving in together' thing as just a practical arrangement.

[He pauses, eyes twinkling.] How we got together in the first place, though? That's a much more interesting story!

You know, he's a very private person - he'll probably kill me for telling you about this!

[Not that that would exactly be a permanent problem, in this case... Whatever, the urge to tell is there now, thanks to all those yummy pastries and the fantastic coffee he's been drinking!]

Okay, well, he basically seduced me. He needed to get a job at Torchwood Three so he could hide his Cyberman girlfriend in the basement and try to use our facilities to fix her, so he seduced me. By catching me a pteradactyl.

[ Low impressed whistle. She's content to just listen to the story for now, the questions can wait. ] That's some seducing. I bet you didn't forget that any time soon!

[Dryly] It did kind of go to the background a bit when I discovered the Cyberman girlfriend and forced him to actually confront what she'd become.

Well, I'm really glad you didn't. Ianto's one of the good ones... but I guess you should know that better than anyone.

[Dryly] I'm pretty glad I didn't too.

[His gaze seeks out Ianto across the room. Not something he's accustomed to doing, but somehow he... wants to.]

And yeah. Definitely one of the good ones. He took a while, to win me round, but... There's a lot of determination in that man. He's worth having.

[ She's quiet for a little while, idly watching him watch Ianto. They're pretty amazing, these people she's found herself with. ]

You really love him, don't you?

[He blinks at her slowly for a moment, then looks back at Ianto. Then back at her again, the faintest of smiles curving his lips.]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I do.

It shows... it really does. [ Warm smile. ] I'm sorry I doubted you at first.

[He blinks a bit more, because this is still incredibly new to him, and the grins, head tilting.]

When did you doubt me?

Around the time you asked if we had enough time for you to list your romantic encounters. [ Teasing little smile. ] You changed my mind pretty quickly.

Ah. [He smirks.] I'm a hundred and seventy something years old, Charlotte. I've had a lot of lovers.

I'd be surprised if you hadn't. You look really good for your age.

Thank you. [Preening a little.]

Plus, I've never been one to be exclusive. Too many fish in the sea to let one pass you by just because you're seeing someone else.

I... honestly don't think I'd be completely exclusive with Ianto even now if I wasn't being forced to be.

[He gives her an amused look.] I've always been extremely open about it, yeah. He knows what to expect.

On the other hand, here, now, with this blue band around my wrist... he does know for certain I'm not sleeping with anyone else. [He gives her a little bit of a leer.] However much I'd like to.

[ It was one thing when they were just joking around, but now? Now she can't help but blush a tad. It's not like she's been ripe with romantic encounters in her 28 years on earth. Even a steady boyfriend couldn't fix the, uh. Physical parts. ]

You better be good to him, Jack. Maybe things are different in the future and maybe he knows what to expect from you, but you better not go break his heart.

[He glances at her and then away, muttering quietly:] More likely he'll break mine.

[He gives her a dark look.] Because I'm from a point further on in his timeline and I know.
