06- An uncommon sight

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack appears on the Plane, currently seated at his desk. He lacks his usual greatcoat, which is hung up back at his office. His desk is a mess, cluttered with papers and the odd piece of junk. He seems to be currently focused on a particular stack of documents in front of him, pen poised in his hand, unmoving. Jack seems to be willing the papers to disappear, or simply burn out of existence; either one would work for him.

He's been like this for about twenty minutes now, and anyone taking a closer look would see the extends of his work; a detailed doodle at the top of the page of the SUV, complete with mud splatters and the Torchwood logo]

...What're you drawing?

[Not happy about this... even though technically it isn't him who's going to have to sort it out.] I really hope that isn't a document we have to send off to anyone.

[Makes a clear spot on the desk and sits on it in front of him] I didn't know you could draw.

[Leaning over the desk and giving the doodle a curious look.] What in the Ladymoon's sweet sky is that supposed to be?

...You have to work through this mountain by yourself?

[She jumps onto the desk and goes after his pen, reveling in her newly-rediscovered ability to speak.]

He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be; One against whom there was no official complaint; And all the reports on his conduct agree; That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint!

It's the car I drive.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[It occurs to Jack he should actually see what the document is] No one important, just the council.

[looking over the mess] Looks like you could use a temp in here, mate.

[peeks over Jack's shoulder] Nice logo. Did you design it?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Grins up at Rose] I make a habit of practicing every time I'm forced to do paperwork.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Eye roll, because Jack clearly still isn't looking properly.] You know all you needed to do was sign it, don't you?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

It's called a car. More specifically, an SUV.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I'm a little behind on my paperwork. ['a little' meaning about a decade, but Hie doesn't need to know this]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[More than happy to let her bat away the pen] Saint enough to get out of paperwork?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Why, you offering?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Helped design it, actually. Council won't let me put it on the side of the SUV though, says it defeats the purpose of the secret part of 'secret organization'

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

.....I do now? And besides, if I sign this one, that means I have to move on to the next one.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You aren't seriously thinking of sending it off like that? [And Ianto would be rooting through your drawers now, Jack. :|b]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with it? I like my SUV drawing [And Jack would be letting you, if only because he has a good view from where he's sitting]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I don't think the council will be quite so appreciative.

[He finds what he was looking for, and places a bottle of correction fluid on the desk in front of Jack.] Here; you can photocopy first if you like, but you're tippexing it out.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

They deal with paperwork all day, they would appreciate the change! [Nevertheless Jack grabs the bottle of correction fluid, unscrewing the top and setting to work on ridding the document of his drawing]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I think having a document half covered in Tipp-Ex will still be a change for them.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

My drawing made it look more interesting; this makes it look like I had an accident with the Tipp-Ex bottle.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Considering the rumours about you they'll probably think an accident with a Tipp-Ex bottle is interesting.
