04- There's always a downhill to the uphill

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack appears on the plane, looking annoyed, tired, worried, though he's trying to hide it, and just not pleased in general] Ianto wasn't at work yesterday morning, wasn't at his apartment, and nobody, including the owner down at the dry cleaner's, has seen him since then.

Anybody want to tell me what the hell is going on?

The Twins have kidnapped a bunch of people and dumped them in other realities.

...You should talk to Misaki and Mr. Hunt. They're compiling a list.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I thought we were supposed to be the lab rats, not them.

How big of a list, so far?

[contract_star]

If our realities are part of this whole experiment, then the people in our worlds are part of it too. Anyway, the Twins say they don't really know what's happened, but they're no doubt responsible, somehow.

[Shakes his head.] I only know of thirteen, including myself. You make fourteen, and there's undoubtedly others.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Who else could have done something in this scale.....

Ianto lost someone as well; Tosh.

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

You lost someone too? This is like a plague! [Hands him a flyer (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e196/edonochibisan/lostmacbeth.jpg) btw]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Fourteen and counting, apparently. [takes the flier and studies it for a minute, then hands it back] Sorry, haven't seen him.

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

Very strange. [Waves his hand] No, no, keep it. I've got plenty. But if you do see him, please let us know.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Chances are, he's probably in one of the realities.

[hands behind back] Seems a lot of people have gone missing. Hunt is trying to compile a list of names and details of all those missing - I'm keeping an eye out for anyone fitting descriptions.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

No one disappear on your end, Brigadier?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Not a soul, thankfully. I have enough trouble as it is explaining why Miss Noble can't be found, someone else disappearing would have probably brought a handful of people knocking on my office door demanding an explanation.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Donna Noble?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

...Ianto is missing?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Not the one that comes here; the one from my reality.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Sigh of relief, then she realizes that he's missing someone--] You doing all right?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Better than Gwen; at least I have an idea of what's going on now.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell breaking loose, that sort of thing. Any luck finding Ianto?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Not the one from my reality, and the one that comes here seems to have lost Tosh.

What about you Doctor, loose anyone?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I heard about Tosh. I volunteered to help look for her, anyway.

Nope! Dolphins all seem to be fine, Rose is fine, Master's...well, himself, TARDIS is all right...everything seems fine.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

He seemed to think it had something to do with the Master, decided to pull a gun on him. [Nope, Jack does not look happy about this]

[a pause] You keep track of the dolphins?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like I never go anywhere else.

[A pause.] How's Gwen?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You do, but you tend to make almost daily trips there recently.

At home with Rhys; it'd do her no good to worry herself sick at Torchwood.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

The Rift's active?

She'll probably worry herself sick, anyway... what about you? You doing alright?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

He's not alone, people have been disappearing left and right.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So I've heard; more than a dozen so far.
