[Ianto's working on fixing a heavily modified piece of tech from instructions Tosh has given him.  He's alternating between paper and machine, working methodically through the instructions.

Loud pterodactyl is loud, and so it's easier to get it done on the Astral Plane than at the Hub (or so Ianto hopes).]

I know you'll be very annoyed if they suddenly go missing. But then I'll give you the new coffeemaker, and with any luck you wont be quite so annoyed anymore.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You realise now you've told me that I'm going to be suspicious whenever you try and give me something?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I got the coffeemaker before I planned on taking anything from the Hub?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You could've given it to me before you planned on taking anything from the Hub.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I was too busy giving one to you.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

And you haven't been back to the Hub since?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Not really; tie doesn't pass while I'm here, so there isn't really a hurry. It is one of my more extended stays, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Any reason you haven't been back?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I keep getting distracted, mostly. There was also that whole hang-over, and the visit to the Doctor's closet...

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Anything else?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[begins counting off on his fingers] Drinking with Hei, which obviously came before the hang over, meeting Fred, helping the Doctor pull the TARDIS out of a bog, talking to th Brigadier, talking to Misaki, trying to keep Cy from messing up Sam's desk, talking to Rose, talking to the Doctor, meeting Amaterasu.....

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You never drink unless you're upset about something, though.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[His expression changes, becomes somewhat unreadable] I still don't

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Never said you did.

[There's a hint of surprise on Jack's face because Ianto has yet to ask him about i, but he doesn't say anything else]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He's torn, because he wants to ask him but he's already said that he wouldn't. He settles for giving him the option to tell him if he wants.] Do you want to talk about it?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack sighs softly; h doesn't actually want to, but thinks Ianto deserves at least that much] A friend of mine died here, on the Plane.

She's back now, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[He looks slightly surprised at that, but seems to make a connection pretty quickly.] ...Misaki? She mentioned something about dying. Thought she must've been exaggerating.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[nods]You talked to her, then? She wasn't exaggerating, trust me; I had to watch her die.

As far as I know, the Twins are the one's that brought her back; can't have the lab rat's dying in the middle of an experiment.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

Have they done that before?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

She's back, isn't she? Not much to be sorry for anymore.

Don't know about before, but I know at least one other person that's come back to life.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Still seems like the right thing to say.

Like you?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Not quite like me; it takes them a few days, and when do come back I'm told they smell of metal.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I think there are some people here like you though, you know. I spoke to someone the other day; said he had a problem staying dead. I got the idea he hasn't been around as long as you have, don't think he's even as old as me to be honest.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Did you get a name?
