Day 15: 10:02 AM, Theater
Who: Wide Open to anyone
What: A party, just for you!
Where: The Theater
When: 10:00 AM - 12:00PM
Rating: PG

Status: Active

They'd had some trying days, hadn't they, these guests of Vas Captio? They needed a rest, or at least something warm to eat, right? Don't worry, dear ones, those men behind the curtain care very, very much for your mental and physical well being. Yes, yes we do!

For those brave souls who heeded the call into the theater they would find it lavishly decorated. Wreaths and ribbons strung from the balconies, linens were laid out on a long banquet table. Atop the table there are several large platters filled with an array of hot, steaming foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and ice cold drinks. More specifically characters will find: Hamburgers, Spaghetti, a large crock of chicken noodle soup, a sushi platter, a fruit platter, a large bowl of fresh mixed greens, steaks, and a large vat of chilli. There is beer, and cold water, and <i>coffee</i>.

"Welcome Survivors!" Proclaims a banner strung across the stage.

Captives are welcome to eat and drink to their hearts content. There is nothing wrong with the food dears. Problem is, if you try and take the food out. You see, the moment that you cross the threshhold with your salad or your steak or your chilli, or even your beer it rots. Really rots. The Sushi turns to blackened sludge, the lettuce wilts and goes slimey, and the chicken noodle soup turns and odd mix of black and green as the noodles fall apart before your eyes. Sorry, you all aren't allowed to share.

Party time ends at Noon. Don't worry, we won't let you forget.

"Generally, but some of us move with the times." Amazing what a cup of coffee did for Ianto's demeanor. "I should ignore it. I'll only want more tomorrow. But I couldn't. This is so bloody good." As he sipped and spoke, Ianto filled a plate. Normally, he went the vegetarian route (personal reasons, none of them moral, really so he was reaching for the soup and greens and veggies, mainly. Spaghetti and sushi, too. It was an odd meal, but one that'd be filling and he hoped one that'd taste so damned good.

"I'm going to make a pig of myself, I'm afraid," he said as he refilled his coffee cup.

Journal slipped into the pocket of his greatcoat and hurried from the museum to the theatre. Honestly, the promise of coffee was enough to drag him out, even if he commented that he had standards where coffee was concerned. Granted Jack would have taken coffee flavoured water at this point, only if it had a tiny amount of caffeine would he be happy.

Which found Jack walking into the room, seeing Gambit wearing his Coat and forced himself not to start something. Coffee first, finding out the full message and then deciding what to do about Gambit and getting the Coat back to Ianto. Even though Gambit had the duplicate, Jack didn't remove his own -- call him paranoid.

"Ah, coffee," Jack said, plucking the cup from Ianto's hand unceremoniously and taking a long sip. Now that? Was coffee. Hell, it was better than he thought it would be. Not what he was used to but better than instant. Jack took another sip from the stolen cup, making no move to give it back. "And now, the message?"

It was eleven o'clock by now, the party was half over and the Cajun was actually feeling nice and warm inside, thanks to the few beers he'd had. And though he'd had some trouble standing a few moments ago, he was pushing up to his feet now and taking a moment to steady himself, before flashing a grin at Jack and Ianto, then gracefully sliding his way past his row of chairs that had acted as a very nice couch for some time. Gloved hands pressed into the pockets of his own greatcoat and he was slowly, carefully making his way to the door. The chill outside would certainly help to sober him up a little and lessen the heat in his cheeks.

"Enjoy 'de par'y." He waved a hand idly but wasn't bothering to glance back, only sent a side-ways look to Jenny, offering her a brilliant smile before he disappeared out the door of the theater. It was warmer to him, now, but that'd wear off soon enough. He sort of wanted to find The Doctor, so he'd start the slow trek towards the carnival and poke around there for a bit.. just in case.

Aaah, the message. Ianto calmly fixed himself another cup of coffee, since his was perloined, and held out a plate towards Jack, all the while smiling. He nodded a bit as Gambit headed off, wearing that lovely warm coat. But since Ianto had coffee, nothing could bother him at the moment.

He leaned in and whispered very softly into Jack's ear. "You're an idiot, but I love you."

Yes, the message. Jack took the offered plate, balancing it over his cup of coffee. He watched as Gambit wandered of, wearing the coat that should be around Ianto's shoulders. Later, yes, later he'd work on getting the coat back.

Jack smiled, slipping an arm around Ianto's waist and kissed the corner of his mouth. "That wasn't all of it. There were things about the Doctor in there too."

"Oh, worked that out, did you?" Ianto nibbled from the things on his plate, pausing now and again to sip at the oh so wonderful coffee. A full belly went a long way towards making people feel better, and he glanced around at the others in the room, nodding to Jenny and the girl he hadn't met yet politely. "It said," he whispered quietly, so that it wouldn't carry past them, "I know you love the Doctor, but I know you love me, too."

After that, he pulled back, just a little, eyebrows up and a smirk on his face and popped a piece of fruit into his mouth.

"Yes, I worked that bit out," Jack replied with a roll of his eyes. "Given that the word 'doctor' was untranslated? I figured he had something to do with it." Even though he had his own plate, it was more fun to steal things from Ianto's plate. Which was why he nicked a strawberry and popped it into his mouth.

"The next bit," Jack said, keeping his voice as low as Ianto's, "was that you can't imagine life without me. Correct?" Jack ate a grape this time, pulling the skin off with his teeth then swallowed it. "What was the last bit?"

"Mmhm, you got it. To be honest, doctor translated easily back and forth. The rest of the words didn't survive as well." Ianto rolled his eyes when things were stolen off his plate, but he didn't comment any other way. Besides, he thought it was sort of funny (at the moment) that Jack was doing that. Didn't stop him from urging Jack to fill his own plate, though. He nudged Jack a bit.

"Go eat something. I know you haven't eaten much lately. None of us have."

"No, they didn't," Jack replied with a shake of his head. "Again, only you would do this with languages and without the use of the computer. I still say a code would have given me at least a chance to figure it out." And when Ianto didn't dissuade Jack from stealing things, he continued to do so even as he filled his own plate.

"Neither have you for that matter," Jack replied. He nudged Ianto with his hip. "And again, what was that last bit?" He asked Ianto. "You're avoiding now. You've already told me the rest of the message. So what's the last bit?"

Ianto eyed the burgers again, trying to weigh caloric intake against old trauma. The trauma won out and he ended up slurping up spaghetti instead. Carbs would just have to do. Still, he wouldn't bring up his problems if Jack wanted a burger or even steak. Ianto looked over Jack's plate to see if he could steal anything in return. Just because fair's fair.

"The last bit's the easiest. I love you." God. His ears went very red at that admission and instead of looking at Jack, he bustled about the table, munching on whatever he found tasty.

Ianto may have been avoiding the burgers but Jack sure as hell wasn't. He grabbed one for his plate, moving to grab a handfull of chips next. He popped one into his mouth, attempting to sheild the plate so Ianto couldn't steal one.

"You know, you're cute when you blush," Jack said, chuckling. He moved down the line with Ianto, hand brushing his hip in that coupley way he tried to avoid, but was finding easier to be here. In such a different place, they needed to indulge themselves a bit more. Which was why he said the next part. "Good thing, you know. Because I do love you too," he whispered in Ianto's ear. There may or may not have been some stuttering and pausing to get through the last part though.

How fair was that? Jack shielded his plate from Ianto but also stole from Ianto? He still did his best to look over Jack's plate curiously. Even if he was blushing quite a bit.

"Oh. ..well. Good. Good." He also had no idea what to say to something like that. Briefly, he tipped his head against Jack's. Yes, it was dangerously couply, but things like that helped pull them through to another day. How many others had found solace in one another, after all?

After a moment, he pulled away and picked up his cup. "Come on, let's find a place to sit. Jenny's over there. I don't know the others."

It was incredibly fair if you asked the Captain but then again, he was the one making out like a bandit right now. Fine, he'd be nice. He uncovered the plate enough for Ianto to be able to steal a chip or three. And that blush. God that blush.

They'd eat their fill and Jack would be dragging Ianto off to a place to be named later.

"The main reason I don't way it that often. I like rendering you speechless." Jack closed his eyes for that moment Ianto leaned in, taking the opportunity to rub his nose against Ianto's temple. Yes, a coupley moment, but after everything, Jack thought they deserved it.

"Fantastic." Jack eyed Ianto's plate. "I hope you got enough for both of us..." He gave a small wave in Jenny's direction.

"Who's the stuff on your plate for, then, if I have to get enough for the both of us?" he asked, leading them towards chairs and offering Jenny a smile. She didn't look like she much wanted company, but Ianto was still open to joining her, if she changed her mind.

For now, he satisfied himself with stealing crisps from Jack and trying to ignore the fact that his ears were burning red and that inside he was jumping around and yelling like, well, a drunken Welshman.

"The stuff on my plate is for the fantastic looking bloke I met on the way over here," Jack teased. "Have to make sure there's enough left for him." Only Jack would possess the uncanny ability to say 'I love you' and to talk about the latest piece of ass... even if he was talking out of his arse right now.

Jack smiled as Ianto stole food from him, sliding a foot beneath the table and rubbed affectionately against his calf. "So this stopwatch you got..." Jack's voice trailed off, smirking.
