Day 374 | Action | Open
[The Hub]

[It's a boring dream by Torchwood standards, an interesting one of your work doesn't consist of a top secret science fiction bunker, complete with mysterious alien gadgets lying everywhere, incomprehensible computer programs running on most of the screens and a pteranodon nesting high up near the roof and occasionally squawking to herself.

As for Ianto he's not doing anything as exciting as his surroundings. He's just cleaning up at the end of the day, throwing away empty pizza boxes ordered under the name of Torchwood, washing coffee mugs, dusting off keyboards, putting away discarded firearms. Maybe he's dreaming about this because he organizes thing even in his sleep. Or maybe he just missed his old routine.]

	[He laughs.] She fell through the Rift and I found her stuck in some warehouse. Convinced Jack to help me catch her as part of my attempts to get a job here. Hell of an interview process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You knew about the Rift before you had the job? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I worked at the London branch before this one, so I knew about it from there. I thought it was just an office job when I applied. They tell you during the interview and if you don't want the job they Retcon you and send you on your way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-06 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	Retcon? That's where they erase your memories, right? Like in Men in Black? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-06 01:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, except it's a pill, not one of those flashing things. I spend an unnerving amount of my time spiking people's drinks, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-06 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	That's probably one of those things you don't want to tell anyone out of context. So, what are we doing here? [As if maybe this is normal, but now he can't quite remember.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-06 01:31 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, most of the reasons this job is secret are more along those lines than actual aliens. I was cleaning up. [Yes, Ianto's job is particularly thrilling.] I think you were looking around. Getting ready to do some research, maybe. Unless you'd like to feed Myfanwy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-06 01:36 pm UTC (link)
	You named it Myfanwy? [So skeptical. This is more important than figuring out why he's here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-06 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	Jack did. He tends to name the strays we pick up. I think he identifies with them. [He fishes around in a few drawers before locating a bar of dark chocolate and passing it over.] Unwrap that and toss it up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-06 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	But what kind of a name is Myfanwy? It eats chocolate bars? You're serious? [INCREDULOUS AT EVERYTHING! Don't you wish you were just having a make out dream?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-06 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	They're more of a treat than her entire diet. Go on, throw it. [The sexy Sam make out dream option was considered but he's just had so much sex lately.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-07 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Too much carnal satisfaction? Craving some chocolate bar feeding bro time? Either way Sam looks at the bar not sure what to make of it before tossing it up, up, up and away.] Should I ask how you found out she liked these? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-07 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	[Winchester bro time is the best bro time. The pteranodon in question swoops down with a squawk as the chocolate is tossed into the air, snatching it up happily.] I figured most things like chocolate so it was worth a shot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just don't try it on dogs and if you ever have a wild Dean just feed him pie and cheeseburgers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-15 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	I'll keep both those tips in mind. Go on, give it a try. If you toss t up she'll swoop down and catch it. I think she thinks it's fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-15 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	But will she try to eat my hand if I don't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-15 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	No, there's a sort of sauce we squirt on larger items to attract her and let her know it's food. [100% serious here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-05-30 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	So, special sauce on a stapler and suddenly it's food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-05-31 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Or your robot girlfriend.] Essentially. We didn't want her to eat things she wasn't supposed to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-06-01 02:55 am UTC (link)
	[That's rough, buddy.] How did you figure out the sauce would work? Am I getting too technical about dinosaur feeding? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-06-01 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Ask Jack. He mentioned learning a lot about dinosaurs after the asteroid crash. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-06-01 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	That's okay. So what is all of the rest of this? [Looking around and why narrow his focus?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-06-01 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, you know. Typical top secret sci-fi base. Want a tour? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-06-07 03:22 am UTC (link)
	[He makes an accepting bodily gesture.] Tour away. Who can pass up a top secret sci-fi base? You're not going to wipe my memory after this, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-06-07 11:55 am UTC (link)
	Well usually we would but I'll try and make an exception today. [Said with a smile but no really they would.] Right, this is sort of the center of things. Computer work stations, obviously. Morgue is down there, Jack's office and greenhouse are on the second floor just there. Cells and conference room are over that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
