[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.

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.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, some people do, or it wouldn't have a holiday at all.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

They aren't in the majority though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but it still gets appreciation, at least.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I suppose having even a few worshippers is good enough.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Better than being overrated, anyway.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I suppose, at least its followers are dedicated.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure dedicated is quite the term... I expect some of them probably only care about the pie.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

But it isn't pie day... Is there such a thing as pie day?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Probably. There's a holiday for everything now, isn't there?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Starts looking sour] Mm, everything that you can think of.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

At least it means there's something for everyone.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Scowl] I suppose.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of holidays, I take it?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Not pointless holidays.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, not everyone will think it's pointless.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I suppose not, they are going a bit overboard though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, occasionally. I'd say the more commercialised ones are the bigger culprits, though.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Like the Valentines rubbish?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

That'd be the most obvious one. Nice idea, but commercialised to the point where it's more about money than anything else.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

We didn't have it in my day.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, things change, don't they? It probably won't be that big in the future, either.
