[Ianto is leaning against the counter from his Tourist Information Office (although that's the only part he's bothered bringing), flicking through a postcard catalogue. Someone has to maintain their front, and typically that someone is Ianto. Probably because he's the only one who cares puts any effort into it.

he scribbles down a few numbers on the order form in front of him, then flips to the next page whilst taking a sip of his coffee. Ianto has the most interesting job ever, clearly.]

Greece looks nice this time of year.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Greece isn't in Cardiff.

[mercwamouth]

Well what IS in Cardiff?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Cardiff Castle, the Millennium Centre... lots of things.

[mercwamouth]

...

...Greece looks nice this time of year.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I don't stock information on Greece.

[mercwamouth]

Maybe you'd have an easier time if you did.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'd have more customers if I did. And this isn't a travel agency, anyway.

[mercwamouth]

Right. Secret agent man.

Still, why put in this much effort for a front?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Because it makes it seem realistic?

[mercwamouth]

Because it's realistic for a business that gets no business to stay in business?

...Business?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

We do get business sometimes.

Besides, it's tourists. They don't even live in Cardiff.

[mercwamouth]

Does Cardiff even get tourists?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

If it didn't then a Tourist Information Office would hardly be a convincing front.

[mercwamouth]

My point exactly.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...believe it or not, Cardiff isn't completely clear of tourists.

[mercwamouth]

I don't believe it.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It isn't that bad.

[mercwamouth]

Way I figure, a secret organization would probably pick the least interesting place in the country to set up shop.

Hence Cardiff.

It's true. Like, you have no idea how many secret organizations are hiding in Canada...

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Actually, the only reason we're based in Cardiff is because there's a Rift situated there. Nothing to do with how interesting it is.

And quite a few. We probably don't know all of them, but we're aware of a pretty good number of them.

[mercwamouth]

Rift? Is that dimension-y stuff?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Dimension-y stuff that likes to overrun Cardiff with aliens.

[mercwamouth]

Ah. Hellmouth.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Hellmouth?

[mercwamouth]

Ask Buffy.
