[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).]

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

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Never said you did.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[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?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Firo. Firo Porchainezo.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Porchainezo? Sounds Italian.

I'll keep an eye out for him, then.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

He probably is. I don't think he lives in Italy, though.

Do you get headaches?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Why do you think so?

Not unless I took an injury to the head. Why?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Bringing a 1930's US cinema complex here may've been a bit of a giveaway.

Nothing. Doesn't matter.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

1930's, huh? This Firo guy gets more interesting by the minute.

You asked, so it can't 'nothing'.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

He's from 1931; never even heard of Indiana Jones before he came here.

Doesn't mean it has to matter.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I assume someone introduced the movie to him here, then.

It does, because my guess is the question has something to do with my immortality. What did you hear?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Someone did. I'm not sure he mentioned who.

Nothing to do with yours. I just thought I'd found someone like you; that's all.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Firo gets headaches. [It's not even a question, more of a statement than anything]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...I shouldn't have said anything.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Is that why you asked, because if I got headaches as well, then there's a chance he was like me?
