[Ianto’s stood on the Astral Plane, looking confused and more than a little concerned over his situation.]

…it must be the Rift. It doesn’t make sense any other way. But why didn’t we pick up anything on the scans? We’d just about got the monitors working again. We should have been able to tell if there was any activity. Unless they were faulty again... that really wouldn’t be all that surprising given how things are right now. Oh, God… Tosh… I can’t just leave her by herself. I’ve got to find a way back.

[He reaches up to his ear, attempting to work his already faulty headset. Unable to get it to work, he sighs, running a hand through his hair.] Hopefully she’ll think of something. The Rift Manipulator; maybe if she could get that working… no… there’re too many risks in that.

[He frowns, unable to think of any other solutions.] But there’s got to be something she can do…

Rift? What are you doing manipulating a rift?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Pish tosh Hieronymus Bosch. [Cy, still stuck in her Wild Road form, comes rambling up.] It's a new smell, well well well.

[lamb_of_gold]

If you wish to return, simply think it.

... it isn't something we make a habit of.

[Ianto just watches her warily, hand moving so he can reach his gun if necessary.]

[taking a Jelly Baby break. You can only babysit a body for so long before you say, "Screw this. Rose, you watch the body. I'm going to go get lulz somewhere!"]

A Rift Manipulator? Humans really shouldn't be allowed to play with those sorts of toys. But that's just like you, isn't it, getting into things you don't even begin to understand.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

... that's all I need to do?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[That, Master? That would be a gun pointed towards you.]

You.

[lamb_of_gold]

It is. A thought will bring you back here, as well.

Welcome to the Astral Plane.

It isn't anything you should ever have done in the first place. Why are you mucking about with rifts in the first place?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Stops and gives him her own wary look.] Steady on, man. Captain America wasn't so rude. No need for projectile metaling.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, really, if that isn't melodrama. [throws his hands up in surrender - curved in, laser screwdriver in palm]

Yes, me. And you'd be Ianto Jones, teaboy and fuckbuddy to Captain Jack Harkness, correct? Pleasure to meet you at last, Mister Jones. But really, what would your mother say about pointing a gun at someone the first time you meet him. That's bad manners.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He moves his hand away, offering her a tight smile, but still looking cautious.] Sorry... Captain America?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't be too hard to get back. No reason to start playing with the rift, anyway.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Drops into an imitation of Jack's voice.] Captain America! [Back in her own,] You've got his smell all up and down your bones.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He tries this, disappearing, then reappearing a few moments later.]

Easier than I thought, then.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Work?

[lamb_of_gold]

It surprises many.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...Jack's here?

[He frowns slightly at that, glancing down at himself.] Funny. I haven't seen him in months. His smell must still be in his quarters, I suppose.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Are you a member of UNIT, then? They've never done anything with rifts before.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It seems like the sort of thing that would.

[lamb_of_gold]

I've been able to come here for nigh on five months now. There are things about this place that still surprise me.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He looks worried for a moment, but his glare is back in place almost immediately.]

Wrong. I haven't seen Jack for months.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Torchwood, actually.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Five months? I take it people have been coming here for a while?
