[Joint Post]

[In honour of pi day, Owen has bought a pie with the first few digits of pi iced onto it. Owen, who you may notice is now wearing glasses, is standing awkwardly, while Tosh and Ianto are looking at the pie in obvious amusement.]

...you really got her a pie for pi day?

[Tosh is giving the pie a weird look] It's, um, got pi on it.

[Well, Owen looks thoroughly embarrassed, glancing between the two of them defensively] You mean you don't like it? It's - I mean, it's supposed to be a joke.

[And Ianto really can't hold back a snort at that. Because.... well. Because.] Sorry. It's just... well, it's a bit tacky, isn't it?

[Tosh nods in agreement] And a bit...dorky, too. I mean, pi day? It's just a made up holiday. Not even a holiday, really, just an excuse for geeks to eat pie.

[:C, says the Owen-face.] Tosh, I thought you'd at least... [sigh] Never mind. All right, I'll get rid of it. [and he looks at the pie again, looking dejected and embarrassed]

[Ianto, although still very obviously amused by this, shakes his head.] No, don't. There's no sense wasting it. We could eat it in that meeting later. There's enough for five of us, right?

[Tosh wrinkles her nose] It's got icing on it, though. Who eats pie with icing?

[Avoiding Tosh's eyes] Should be.

[Still trying not to laugh.] We can have it later. Don't worry, Tosh. You can just scrape the icing off yours.

I'm not sure Adam really likes pie, anyway.

[Sighs] Well, it's here if anyone wants it.

[Vaguely sympathetic smile.] Don't worry, Owen. I'm sure someone'll have it.

[Have a vaguely confused looking Brigitta] ...Pi day?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It's a holiday. A pretty silly holiday, really.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of it.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not as if it's that widely celebrated, so it's not really that surprising you haven't heard of it.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Ah, good... No parades or anything?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Nope. No parades. Just pie, and even that's not all that common.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Poor Pi, nobody loves it.

[food beckons]

Is it the 14th of March all ready?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

In our reality, at least. I'm assuming you aren't adverse to pie with icing, then?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

I don't mind it at all. I love icing. Or I can live without it if I have to. One way or another, it's pi day, and that's always a good day.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure Owen will be happy to let you some of his pie if you wanted to celebrate it.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

That would be brilliant! If he doesn't mind, of course.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Oh, I doubt he will. Especially not if Tosh isn't having any, anyway.

[...Food.] There's...a holiday for pi?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

With pie, no less.

[contract_star]

That's...special. [Hei feels out of the loop.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Snerk.] I'd say 'special' just about sums it up. It's not something any of us have ever even thought about, really. The pie's just Owen being... well, Owen.

[contract_star]

Interesting guy.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Oh, not really. This is just another attempt for him to get Tosh to notice him. I think he thought she'd find it funnier than she did.

[mercwamouth]

I heard pie.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Pi pie. Did you want some?

[mercwamouth]

[He's eating pi]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...no pi for the meeting then. :|]

[mercwamouth]

[Has a clump of pie in one hand]

Want some?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[That's... that's disgusting. Really.]

...I'd rather not, thanks.
