Day 407 / Action / Open and closed
Action – closed to Ianto

He's finishing getting dressed and bending to get his boots out of the wardrobe, when the sight of something at the back of the wardrobe, sitting innocuously right behind his boots where he'd swear it wasn't yesterday, gives him pause. A box. A box he had for decades. A box which couldn't possibly be here if this existence wasn't virtual and/or outside of time.

Hardly breathing, he scoops it up and takes it through to Ianto, who's already in the kitchen, getting coffee.

"Hey. Look what I found!"

Action – open

Jack's gift is a box of photographs of past lives and lovers, incredibly precious since it was blown up along with him and the rest of the Hub over a year ago and (in real life, at least) lost forever.

Find him sifting through the photos, or just gazing fondly at one of them, at various points through the day – at the Defence Force HQ, in a restaurant at lunchtime or dinner time, wandering along with a coffee in his hand etc. etc. etc.

((OOC: NSFW content in the thread with Ianto (surprise surprise)! ))

"I think the TARDIS has a hell of a lot to do with it," he nods, smiling fondly. He misses the TARDIS. "She looks after him. He never knows where he's going, but I'm pretty sure she does."

He smiles wryly. "Like all that rot about her heading all the way to the end of the universe just to get away from me. She never had much of a problem with me. She was just trying to take the Doctor to the Master.

"Not that that turned out very well, but I'm sure she had good intentions!"

Martha nodded. "She'd been warning us about the Master for a while. My second trip with him actually when we met The F... when he took me to New Earth." Whoops. She shouldn't go telling him everything that happened. "He met an old friend who was dying and he told the Doctor that he was not alone. That phrase followed us for a long time. We'd no idea what it meant."

"Really? I never knew that." A faint lift of an eyebrow at that slip, but since he had no idea what she might have been going to say, he didn't get anything from it. Sure, she'd mentioned that the Face of Boe had said that in front of him back on Malcassairo, but there'd been a hell of a lot going on right then and he'd never given it much thought afterwards.

Besides, he was still more focussed on the TARDIS.

"She's a wiley old thing, isn't she?" He cocked his head as a thought occurred to him. "I wonder if she was actually responsible for him meeting me, too? I always just thought of it as luck, but..." He smiles. It's a nice thought.

"Yes, well when has the Doctor ever been transparent about anything? Between you and him, I have to resort to every trick in my book to get any information about anything!"

She nudged him with her shoulder to let him know she wasn't actually upset about it.

"Wiley for sure. I don't know enough about how she works to be able to tell you anything else. But she did try. At the very least I'm certain she realized he'd never like me the way I liked him. Kept throwing us places where, not only were there problems, but there were men. Men who really enjoyed flirting with me."
