✘ 42 (THIS NUMBER MAKES ME EXCITED :D /loser)

[See Ianto. See coffee machine. See Ianto fixing coffee machine.

He's pretty clearly unhappy about his coffee machine being damaged to say the least. He's also pretty distracted by it, and possibly by thinking of what he'd like to whoever (or whatever) broke it.

Nope, Ianto is definitely not a happy bunny right now. Approaching with caution might be wise.]

[raised eyebrow as she watches Ianto] Having any luck, or should I run to Starbucks?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...where is your tact, Tosh? Ianto will spare a moment to glare at her, before turning his attention back to the coffee machine.]

[remare.livejournal.com]

Oh no, it broke? That's a...coffee machine, right? I haven't seen one like that since I left Man-Home.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

Riiiight. [Tosh might be able to help fix it, but she's just backing off] I...guess we don't really need coffee right now, anyway.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'd surprised if you've seen any exactly like this. There're a few modifications to it that make it harder to fix than it already was.

[remare.livejournal.com]

Well, probably not exactly like it.

{Laughs} Technology was never my strong point! But the ones on Man-Home looked similar. Oh, but if you'd like coffee, there's a really nice cafe in San Marco Square. It has the best coffee on Aqua.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's going to fix it himself... after making it even worse, most likely. :|] If you're really that desperate I'm not going to stop you from going to Starbucks. Not like you don't do it the rest of the time anyway.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

[she folds her arms over her chest] Well, I'm sorry you couldn't make coffee while you thought you were a cat. And I make instant coffee when I'm at home, because it's cheaper. [not a good way to endear yourself to Ianto, Tosh] Why don't you just use the machine in the kitchen here?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Fiddling with some sort of alien tech in the interior.] Can't say technology's mine either. Coffee is though, and I'd really rather make my own if possible. I've never met anyone else who can get the correct temperature for a perfect cup.

Besides, I'm pretty sure my reality doesn't have an Aqua.

[remare.livejournal.com]

Oh, it probably does, just...not quite ready, yet? Aqua's old name is Mars, after all.

But I can bring you a cup to try, if you want! I'm not far from San Marco Square right now, since I was waiting for Alicia-san to finish her Undine meeting.

[clearly, the best person to meet is the Master right now]

Did Captain Harkness spill on it?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[--shit. He's pretty sure that piece of metal isn't meant to bend like that. D:] Like that's the only time Starbucks cups have been left around the Hub. If you don't want me to notice you should start cleaning up after yourselves. And you get paid more than I do, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to afford real coffee. Personally I think it's more that you can't be bothered.

As for the machine in the kitchen; it isn't mine. And it isn't as good, anyway.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Mars? What year are you from, then?

And I think I'll leave it for now, if you don't mind. I'm more in the mood for my own.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

I'm no good at making real coffee, as you know. And you're only making the coffee machine worse by fiddling with it like that, Ianto. [scoff] Maybe I like to try to save money. It's not a problem of affording it, it's that I'd rather not pay five quid for a coffee if I don't have to.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Just as he though his day couldn't get any better...]

I don't see what that has to do with you.

[remare.livejournal.com]

It's 2302 for me. The calendar changed about four hundred years ago to account for the colonization of Mars, though, since it has a longer rotational period. So I think it's really almost 3000 by the old calendar? I'd have to ask Alicia-san about that, since she's better converting the years than I am.

Oh, I don't mind at all! You just seemed a little upset, so I thought something nice would help.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Blood's about as good for short-circuiting as water.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Straightening up, because he doesn't want to try repairs whilst he's distracted.] I'm fixing it, Tosh, not making it worse. It's my machine. I think I know what I'm doing with it. And if I'm going to drink coffee I'd rather it actually tasted like coffee.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...quite a bit ahead, then. I'm not even ten years into the 21st century, myself.

I'm fine. It's just a bit frustrating trying to fix this.

[geekgirltosh.livejournal.com]

And I think I know a few things about electronics. [B| face] I wonder if there's anybody around here who can work a coffee machine?

[remare.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? That's such a long time ago...! I've only read about it in books. What is it like?

{Bright smile} Well, I'm sure that you'll fix it! I would offer to help, but I'd just get in the way, I'm afraid.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Master. How he hates you.] He didn't spill on it. He wasn't anywhere near it when it broke. And I still don't see what it has to do with you.

[twatular.livejournal.com]

Fixed it yet?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, if you can fix it you should've offered to start with. [Pointedly ignoring the second remark. :|]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What broke it, then?
