[ It's surprisingly early, for him. Vampire habits and all that, this transmission should happen later in the afternoon but it doesn't. He also sounds surprisingly drunk for it being this early in the day — effort was taken to reach this level of inebriety. It's clear in the tone of his voice, the stubborn lack of video, the briefness of the message. ]

Rose is gone. She was a good person even if you wankers didn't appreciate it.

[ And off goes the feed. He'll make his way to the graveyard with as many bottles of whiskey as he can possibly carry. Gotta start early in the day if you want to drink yourself to oblivion. Anyone coming across him can expect to find a fumbling mess of a man and more than one smashed bottle. ]

	Only if you do it wrong. [ He's been staked before. Not correctly, obviously, but the incorrect way hurts so much worse. ] Fine, fine... I'll ask Jack to do it. Or Sam. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fine, ask them then. [See if he cares.] But I'm not doing it so stop asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He makes a noise of disapproval, taking another hefty swig from the bottle. ] So I heard Jack's back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	[Whatever. He can't make him feel bad for refusing to stake him.] Yeah. It's better, I think. Better than it was before, I mean. It's hard to say; for him it's been two years since I died so I suppose things are bound to be a bit different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Just wait, he'll come up with some contraption so he can do it himself and then you'll be sorry! ] Shit... [ Two years is a lot of time. ] Bet he's glad to be back here, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'll sweep up his vampire dust with annoyed sadness.] He is. I think they've been hard. I guess he didn't take me dying particularly well which is flattering. [He's not going to mention his new potential mortality.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	That's something. [ Speaking of something, maybe this is a weird thing to discuss when he's drunk out of his mind and fresh from the end of a relationship but hell knows he won't bring it up sober. ] Did you... tell him? [ You know. The thing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He gets a drunk and heartbroken pass on most things right now in Ianto's book. Except the staking thing.]

I told him. He said a lot of the same things you did, actually. That it wasn't my fault they took him away or that it wasn't really anything. I don't know if he was bothered by it or not to be honest. We were both pretty emotional already so it's hard to say.

	See? You're fine. It's all fine. [ That's not what he told Kitty, is it. ] Just forget it ever happened, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not going to forget it. [He doesn't want to. He also isn't sure now is the best time to admit that.] Anyway you're the one whose not fine today. How can I help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	[ Yeah, that's something that needs to be analyzed a little later. He's not in any place to be worried about getting crushed on right now but later? That's definitely a fire he'd want to put out, swiftly. ] You can't. Just go off and do whatever it is you do. Taxes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	I can just sit here if talking doesn't help. I know it's not always useful at times like this. [He doesn't think Spike will appreciate a return of the hug he got when Jack vanished but he does do a little shoulder bump. Sort of a hug substitute.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	[ Anyone else and he would've seriously doubted the sincerity of their intentions (hi, Kitty!) but Ianto is another deal entirely. They have history and he knows what that shoulder bump means. ] Listen... this isn't the first time. I'm my own man, I can take care of myself. [ He raises the bottle, sloshing the whiskey around. ] Just let me have this, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	I know. I'm not going to try and tell you everything will be fine or that you'll feel better over time. I just don't want to leave you alone to be miserable. And I don't want you to stake yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	...I won't. [ For you, buddy. ] Believe me, I've tried. It can't be done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What do you mean you tired? Today? [Surely not in an incident involving a Hawaiian shirt at home.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ Or exactly that. ] No... later. Back home. Couple of weeks from when I was taken, or something like that. [ More things he'd never say if he wasn't drunk. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Taken? [Ianto doesn't actually know this part of Spike's story. He read about the chip when the Defense Force was getting ready to go after him but he doesn't connect the dots on it relating to what he's talking about here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Before I came here. [ He clarifies, fumbles over his pockets in search for a cigarette. ] Some shady government agency caught me... chipped me. I escaped and then I woke up here. While back, I got a glimpse of the future. It's not pretty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	What's in store for you besides dying? [He remembers Spike from that day in the future. It was the first encounter they had that didn't leave him wanting to punch the vampire in the face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing I'm looking forward to. [ Hey, a cigarette. It's bent but what the hell, any port in a storm. ] You know they chipped me, right? They tell you that at the defence force? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-12 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	Oddly enough it did come up while looking into why you attacked me. [Dry Ianto humor without any real resentment. Sorry he can't help you with the light.] It shocked you when you tried to bite people, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Fried my brain like a chip. Hurt like hell. [ Shocked is an understatement. Also he's got this he has a lighter maybe he can get this cigarette going without setting himself on fire go team.]

I got it out pretty quick here and in the meantime, there was a steady supply of butcher blood. No such luck at home. They bagged me, tagged me and then I escaped.

With that chip in my skull, I couldn't hunt. Couldn't feed. For years.

	[Oh for God's sake give him that here he'll do it don't burn your fingers off. There. Enjoy your cigarette.] I'm surprised you didn't go mad. Seems like the sort of thing a demon wouldn't be able to take. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ You are the best housewife. The best. ] Who says I didn't? [ A pointed look. ] Vampires don't die if they don't eat. They just... disappear. Walking, living skeletons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
