[Joint Post]

[Tosh and Ianto appear on the Plane, both looking a little worn out by the days events.]

Well, that wasn't quite the return I'd anticipated...

Really? You mean you didn't expect Jack to suddenly appear and shoot a blowfish in the head?

I wasn't talking about the blowfish.

All right, so you didn't expect one of Jack's exes to come out of the rift and lure us out of the Hub by planting fake bombs, nearly kill Gwen by kissing her with paralysing lip balm, only to discover that he'd been set up by some woman he'd slept with, almost get Gwen killed again, and then stroll right back out of our lives and inadvertently force us to relive an entire day? Because that...sort of sounds like a typical day of work, Ianto. Well, except for the bit with Jack's ex.

We don't usually have to relive entire days either.

True. Okay, not quite a typical day at work.

Well, hopefully we won't have to deal with any of Jack's exes again. Things were actually pretty quiet until he showed up.

[a little dryly] Yeah, it was just a normal night with alien blowfish driving sports cars. [pause] God, it's so depressing what we consider uneventful now. Oh, the world hasn't been taken over by psychopaths, perfectly quiet day today. [sigh]

[Ianto smiles wryly to himself, before glancing back over at her.] At least we have the day off now? We won't even have to worry about being called in.

Good point. Got any plans?

Jack wanted to go on a date a some point. Not sure if he meant tonight, though. I might see if he wants to catch up, or something. You?

[Tosh looks a little shifty, because she leads the lamest life ever] ...working on getting my gnome up to level 70. Don't you dare laugh, Ianto Jones.

[Perfectly straight faced, thank you. :|] Wouldn't dream of it, Tosh.

[eyeroll] You know Owen would never let me live it down if he found out.

[Juni is trying very hard not to giggle at... Well, everything] You've been having a tiring day?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. It sounds like the sort of thing he'd be into.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

More tiring than usual, anyway.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Playing World of Warcraft? [raised eyebrow] Are you sure we're talking about the same Owen?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

'Psychopath' is such a terribly misused word, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, not religiously. Just occasionally, maybe.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Which word would you prefer?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What about not applying out-dated and child-like human psychology to alien life-forms?

Just a suggestion, of course.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

It's hard to play religiously when you've got a job like ours. Bit tricky to schedule raids, and all that. [not that she's speaking from experience]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You don't even know who we're talking about.

((I'll email you the history soon, Farrah. I need to get rid of my irrelevant rambling. D:))

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Humans use words to rationalise concepts we can't quite grasp. Like, say, when someone sets off an avalanche, nearly killing me and succeeding in killing my friends.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It's hard to schedule anything with a job like ours.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I know that there's a very high probability it's a non-human and from that, I know enough.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

You have a point there. Luckily, most of us don't have much to schedule. Or at least I don't - I suppose I shouldn't speak for the rest of the team.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

If I had wanted to kill you, I'd not have used an avalanche to do it. It's impersonal.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

So Gwen and Owen just died accidentally, then?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure he was human.

((Thanks! ♥))

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to know? In my universe, I brought you all back to Jack. And there was this incident with a man calling himself 'John Hart'... The Captain knows people in all sorts of gutters, doesn't he? Anyway, the course of true causality never did run smooth. I never dropped an avalanche on you, and you never survived my year.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I have a schedule. Not that it's a successful one most of the time...

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

But not entirely.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, it isn't as if we ran tests on him or anything.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

So quick to call him a psychopath when you don't even know if it's applicable! Bad form, Mister Jones.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Under the circumstances it's a perfectly reasonable application.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

... [resisting the urge to do something horribly OOC and punch the Master] Well, then, I'm so glad you took the time to kill me yourself.
