Who: The Doctor, Ianto, and Open to Museum Dwellers
What: They meet at last!
Where: The Museum
When: Day 9, Early afternoon
Rating: PG (though, with Torchwood, you never know)

Status: Complete

The Doctor returned from his walk to the church with a fairly thoughtful look on his features. It was fairly clear that his first physical encounter with Ryuzaki had left an impression. Though, the Doctor didn't have any intention of talking about that right now. No, he was back in the museum and he wanted to get his attention back on the modulator. He had let himself become side tracked as of late - and it was time to stop losing sight of the final goal. 

Stepping in through the museum's front doors the Time Lord meandered down the hallway to the tiny office trned his work space. It was like the TARDIS in the sense that he both lived and worked there. Sadly, it was not bigger on the inside than on the outside, so it felt a wee bit on the cramped side. 

Pulling up the chair formerly occupied by Gambit earlier in the morning the Doctor carefully lit the fire in his little smelter. He was going to work on more of the wires - and soon he'd need to start doing loop checks and making certain that everything fed in the correct direction and that his improvised switches worked the way that they were supposed to. By his estimation he had nearly 37 individual lines to check. It would take some time. However, first he needed to get the wires attached. 

He had been working quietly when he realized there was a strange feeling in his left pinky. 

"Oh, no!" He gasped, setting down the pin he had been using and carefully blowing out the flame. This was not a time to panic. No, there would be no panicing. While Jack might not have been affected by the materials they had salvaged, the Doctor, apparently had been. "Who uses lead based products? Really?!" He asked, hopping out of his chair and bounding down the hallway. 

"Chalk? Has anyone got some chalk?" He called, coming to a halt in the foyer.

The Doctor was completely oblivious to the look of horror on Ianto's face. Because as he felt his stomach churn he realized he needed to get the chalk distributed as quickly as possible to his internals. The Doctor started jogging in place and waving his arms in an odd sort of rendition of jazzercize.

"No, not vomiting - I wouldn't have eaten that if all I was going to do was spit it back up again. The cola was taken with much appreciation. The syrup would help, even if the fizziness would likely make him burp. A lot. He took a long pull from the bottle and winced. The Doctor was not so much a fan of the fizzy drinks, either.

"I'm just trying to balance out my system - should only take a few more moments..." More jazzercize, more cola.

This was ... this was ... not what he expected. Not at all. He watched, absolutely stunned, while the Doctor flailed and burped and sucked down cola. Nothing in the world could have been less expected than this. He was just absolutely speechless. Rendering Ianto speechless was impressive. He didn't even have a sarcastic quip to offer in the face of this.

With little ceremony the Doctor stopped. His feet were flat on the floor and he looked like he was trying to recover something deep in his memory. Actually he was trying to decide if the drywall had done it's job or not. So far, so good.

Replacing the cap on the bottle the Doctor offered a wide grin. "Well, that ought to set me right," his grin was coming back in full force now. Crisis averted.

This was their best hope to get out of here?

Granted, Ianto knew the statistics on this man. He knew that the Doctor's saved the world more times than he could count. He even helped the Doctor once, pulling the Earth back across space and time to where it belonged. But he couldn't put that image together with the image of the Doctor standing before him, grinning, after eating a bellyful of cola and chalk.

"I can absolutely see why Jack respects you above everyone else in his life. Absolutely." Completely deadpan. Ianto was still trying to gather his scattered wits.

Was it the Doctor, or was Ianto looking at him like he had two heads? He'd never had two heads, so he couldn't be sure if this was how he would be observed - but the Doctor thought that this had to be fairly close.

"I'll have you know I was about to suffer a rupture of my spleen. I happen to like my spleen." He wished he could have replied in a deadpan sort of way; instead the Doctor took on the sort of tone that was generally reserved for things he genuinely enjoyed. Like his new hand. Or his mole. Or watching stars be born. Or breaking the time-limit in the TARDIS.

The Doctor had a mole? That was sort of frightening. Good thing Ianto didn't know about it.

"Ah, well that explains everything, then. Good to know. My mind's entirely at ease." Ianto watched the Doctor carefully, just in case something else was going to happen. Any more leaping around or a crazy run through the museum looking for shoe polish or something. When it didn't happen, Ianto looked away cautiously and gestured to the jumpers in his lap.

"I was gearing up to measure the wall, today. When my chalk was eaten to prevent spleen ruptures."

Had the Doctor known that Ianto would be frightened of the mole he would have to ask: what did the mole ever do to you? Mole love.

Ianto spoke in a sort of manner that lead the Doctor to believe that if he ever managed to get to know him he was very funny. For the moment, however, the Doctor wasn't quite sure what was joke and what was real.

"Well, you don't need the chalk to measure the wall, do you?" The Doctor pulled up a spot against one of the nearby railings. He was leaning with crossed arms and feet; much more calm than he was a moment ago.

Abruptly, the Doctor scratched his head. He was thinking. Thinking about the modulator again. Would the lead paint affect the way it generated the pulse? That was something to chew on.

Most people had that trouble around Ianto. What was a joke and what was real. Ianto rather liked it like that, since it kept people slightly off balance. Though, in the Doctor's case, Ianto felt that he was always off balance. Smiling a little, he went back to unraveling yarn and rolling it into a neat ball.

"Well, no. Not to measure. But I was using it to think on paper on the floor. Thinking in the journals is broadcasting what's on my mind. This isn't quite as bad. That and I was using it to keep track of how many yards I've unraveled already."

The ball of yarn lead the Time Lord to wonder: Was Ianto a knitter in his spare time? It was a dying hobby in Ianto's time - knitting, and the Doctor would have admired that he had taken it up... if he had, anyway.

Back to the present, real world. "Oh, I think we're all quite well watched, actually whether we use the journals or not." The Doctor was back to talking like himself again now that he wasn't subject to a brush with regeneration anymore.

"How many yards are you going for, anyway?"

He wasn't knitting! There were no knitting needles about, for one. That should have been a dead giveaway, though really, he could have gotten them later, he supposed. "I think we are, too, but it might be a bit more difficult without the journal. Um. I'm not certain. I'm hoping to estimate wall height before actually going out and measuring it. The yarn's to measure."

Was it wrong of the Doctor to try and make every situation just a little bit more interesting than it already was? He couldn't help that he had an overactive imagination and the entire universe as his playground.

"If they are half as sophisticated as I believe them to be, they're using the glass as a sort of transitor - hypersonic waves acting as a sort of radar. It would explain why the glass would be both molecularly bound to metal and the twang it gives off when it's hit." The Doctor recalled the feedback he'd heard when he knocked on the glass. Of course, unless someone else had hyperactive hearing they wouldn't have noticed. He did. And it hurt.

Ianto would knit with all the power of his obsessive nature. It was very good that he didn't knit. They'd be knee deep in water bottle cozies, if he did. It was much safer this way. For all of them.

Ianto listened to the Doctor while he wound up a ball of yarn, blinking occasionally at the explanation. "D'you suppose that the walls are powering everything in here? The weather is entirely manufactured. I'm assuming the light is as well."
