[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!))

[sigh] Where do you live, then?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

London. I've told you before.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Nnnoo...you live in Cardiff.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I moved away from Cardiff years ago.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

And then you moved back to work for Torchwood.

--I thought you weren't allowed to talk about my future?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[pause; wondering if this is a past!Ianto - but wait...] But you know me. You can't be from my past.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I only know you from here. I know you know me at some point in the future, but that's about it.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[frown] You're the only Ianto I've met here, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only Ianto here.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. Which makes this so much weirder.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Especially since you knew I was from your past before.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

No, because you weren't from my past before.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I was, though.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[facepalm] I think I can remember things correctly, Ianto.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You're saying I can't?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[sigh] ...no.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Do you think the Twins did something to you?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Me? No. What about you?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Of course they haven't.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

How do you tell, anyway?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Don't know, really.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[thoughtful pause] Maybe they've done something to both of us, then.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...maybe. I feel fine, though. And the Twins hardly ever do anything to me.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Well, they haven't done anything to me, either.
