Day 317 / Video / locked and open
Jack has not had a good night. Ianto didn't come home and that's so unlike him – as in, it's the first time it's happened, ever – that he spent most of the night sitting up, worrying, except for the time he spent trying to call Ianto over the network. He even headed over to the library at one point to see if Ianto had just fallen asleep there, but there was no sign of him and he couldn't think where else he might be. And he didn't want to leave home for long in case Ianto turned up there.
But he didn't. And the morning has brought confirmation of why not. As he listens to Veridical's even-more-scathing-than-usual morning greeting, the blood drains from his face. It's as if all his worst nightmares are thrust upon him at once. He sits there shaking, and it's a while before his legs stop trembling enough to grab his coat and head for the door. But he doesn't get any further than the door, because there's a dismembered arm waiting on his doorstep. He stares at it, face ashen, and then picks it up gently, as if to avoid hurting Ianto any more than he's been hurt already, and brings it into their home.
Eventually, he gets his headset back on and starts making some calls, his face pale and grim, mouth set in a straight, tight line.

Do you have a deathwish or something? Did you miss what I did to Spike when he messed with my boyfriend?
[Video – locked to Kitty]
Please tell me we have some way of dealing with Tyki?
[Video – open]
[Very, very grim.] Anyone spots Tyki anywhere, let me know.
Likewise any – [choking on the words] - any bits of Ianto.
