[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.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

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

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

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

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

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

[madamemoiselle]

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

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...what did you think?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Fine... just trying to find another job.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

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

[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?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Had a job. Past tense.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Wait, laid off from where?

[madamemoiselle]

...What was that job, exactly?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Shrug] Just a stationary supplier. They said they had too many workers, but I reckon they just wanted a female temp.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Temp secretary. Why?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, that was it? It seemed stranger than that when you...kind of talked about it, I guess.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

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

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

What about Torchwood?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Dangles and stares] You're not mad.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

There was nothing strange about it. Trust me.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

That's where you and Jack work, isn't it?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...should I be?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Depends on how qualified you are. And in some places there's more demand for jobs than others.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[confused] That's where you work, too.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

No I don't. I don't even live in Cardiff anymore.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[sigh] Where do you live, then?
