Day 426 / Video and action / Open (backdated to morning)
Video
[Jack comes on the screen in front of the store previously known as the Plush Rump and now proudly sporting a brand new sign stating Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium.]

So. I took this place over a while ago and I was intending to have a great big grand opening day, but what with one bit of drama and another I haven't got as far with the renovations as I'd like to.

So instead I'd like to invite you to come and help me do the place up! I've found some paint and fabrics and things, but a little extra manpower wouldn't hurt, and I could use some people to help set out the stock as well. Any helpers grateful received!

Action
He'll be at the store all day, working on getting it set up.

	[He pulls a face that strongly applies he has thought about it to a degree, considering his frequent companion. But not quite to that extent.] It's a little surreal. I can put together an inventory program in a day. Just give me some time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I guess it is coming at it from our present position. When I got here, we didn't know it was virtual for a long time, so when we found out perhaps it was easier to just carry on. Most of the time, you forget anyway. It's incredibly realistic, after all!

And thanks - I'll let Ianto know. Though he'll probably insist on writing everything out by hand anyway. He's kinda anal like that! Not that I have a problem with him being anal! [A quick flash of teeth.]

	[He snorts a laugh, the sort of laugh you make when someone makes a terrible joke or pun, or innuendo.] Oh well, tell him to come find me in a day or two and I'll show him how to use it. I'll make it as generic as possible so everyone can use it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure the two of you will have a wonderfully intense conversation about spreadsheets. He does have something of a thing for them! So, how's the rest of it going? Settling in comfortably? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Given the context thats kind of a funny visual, but I knew a pair in college who actually got into an intense relationship over their shared frusteration with making data sheets. Though I expect Ianto and I will lean towards platonic.

Oh, yeah. Generally. All aside from thr lack of tech and things to do, like learning I can't cook and not knowing of its because I spent a few months in the cretaceous era or because I haven't had to since college.

You know, I can totally imagine Ianto doing that. To be honest, neither Spike nor I care much for spreadsheets, so if you want to bond with him over them, I honestly think he'd love that. I think he despairs of the two of us, some of the time!

And hey, don't sweat not being able to cook. Why would you even need to cook when there's a restaurant here for virtually every possible occasion?

	Well given that you are Jack Harkness, and the word 'shenanigans' does not do you justice... [Is it weird talking to Jack as if he's just an old friend that he's known for years? And kinda has...] I haven't acquainted myself with everything here yet. But I'll survive the blow to my ego. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It is a little weird, perhaps, but it's not so different from time-travel and meeting people from your future who know you a lot better than you know there. So it doesn't faze him and he just grins.] Don't worry, you've got plenty of time to find your way round. Nothing but time here, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And in the mean time fill out a inventory of sex toys. I didn't expect my programming skills would be used for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He grins, wide and teasing.] Spend enough time around me, you'll get used to it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure. By the way, I'm looking for anything that can be used as a mini forge to make components with from scratch. Does anything fit that prescription? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He blinks a bit.] Not that I can think of. Unless you could make something out of one the barbecues on the beach? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe, they are cast iron so I should probably just steal one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a place to start? [Shrugging.] Let me know how you get on, though. Anything that seems like progress at all towards fighting back and getting out of here, anything that feels like the tiniest bit of hope... We've not had much of that lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You got it, Cap'n. Weren't we supposed to go over what you already know? I guess I've been distracted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, I think we did say something about that. I've been distracted too! [With a grin, and a hand waving about at his shop. He thinks for a moment.]

To be honest, it might be more useful to include more people - reinstate and revitalise the Investigative Team, so to speak - but Reid's got this plan for setting up some sort of open meetings in the near future and I don't want to step on his toes.
