[Ianto is sorting out the archives. Or at least part of them. He's knelt in front of a filing cabinet with one draw open, removing files that have been put in there by accident and rearranging those that are left. Even though this only seems to be the letters j-l there are 12 large filing cabinets in total, each draw containing the files on a particular subject.

And this is just the paperwork-- the alien artefacts themselves are kept in a completely different section of the archives, as is any information on them that wouldn't be relevant to the section he's currently filing. Whoever tries to tell you maintaining archives was easy is lying.]

[geeky!grin] Oh, definitely the latter, I think. I'll have to network it into the computers here, after all, and that'll take a few modifications. I mainly just need it for the scanning equipment.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

["I'll find you one that will make modifications convenient, then."]

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[chuckle] You're the best, Ianto.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

["Thank you. I do try."]

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[more sorting!] I don't know what we'd do without you.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Filing is so much easier with two! "I could say the same about you."]

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[grin] I expect you'd say the same to anyone who helped you file.

[He laughs slightly, though since he's mute there's no sound. "Well, no one else helps me."]

[snort] I know. They ought to, though. But I expect that would interfere with Owen's video game playing time, or Gwen's...well, whatever Gwen does with her free time.

["To be fair Gwen's going to be pretty busy herself until Jack gets back."]

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Good point. [wry chuckle] And you probably wouldn't want Owen anywhere near the archives, anyway.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

["I'm reluctant to let him near his own desk sometimes. I have my doubts he even realises it isn't supposed to be used as a bin."]

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Owen's, well...[a fond sort of laugh] He's Owen, yeah? Just be glad he doesn't do the more hands-on stuff at his desk - then you'd have quite the mess to clean up.

[...that really wasn't something he wanted to think about, Tosh.]
