[Ianto's curled up on a slightly worn couch, for once dressed in jeans and a casual shirt instead of the suits he usuall seems to favour.  He's currently surrounded by piles of  newspapers.  Most of these are open on the job pages, and most of the adverts have been crossed out in various coloured pens.  He seems to have finished with the paper he's looking at at the moment, and places it on one of the piles before picking up a mug of coffee from the table in front of him.  He takes a sip, and pulls a face as he flops back against the couch with a sigh.]  I'd better hope I find something soon.  Jobseeker's Allowance just doesn't pay for rent and decent quality coffee.

((Experiment start!))

I thought... [Frown] Hm.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...what did you think?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

You do have a job, don't you?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I...Ianto-san? Are you all right?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Fine... just trying to find another job.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Another? [Wandering timidly over] Are jobs very hard to find in England?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Leaps onto a pile and almost falls off when it starts to fall over.] Bombs away, man the loo deck, Squanto!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Grabs her before she does fall off.] You alright?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Dangles and stares] You're not mad.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[strange look] Er. You have a job, Ianto.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Have a strange look right back, Martha] No I don't. I got laid off at the beginning of the month, remember?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Wait, laid off from where?

[madamemoiselle]

You're looking for a job? Really? I thought you had one, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Had a job. Past tense.

[madamemoiselle]

...What was that job, exactly?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You look nice, dressed down.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...I always dress like this.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever seen you dressed like this.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Signore Ianto?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Someone is very confused.] ... Jobseeker's allowance?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Jack plops down on the couch besides him, wrapping an arm around Ianto's shoulder] Jobseeker's allowance? If you needed a raise, you should have just told me you know.

There are advantages to shagging your boss besides the great sex.

--I wasn't shagging them.
