[It's been a long time since Ianto was a frequent visitor to the Plane. Mostly because going from a team of five to a team of three hasn't left him with much time to think about it. Theoretically that should have been more of a motive to come, given that time stands still whilst you're they, but practically that's not how things have worked out.

But now, after months of being (mostly) absent, Ianto's back along with the interior of his Tourist Office. His tie his lose, socks off, and feet up on the edge of the desk, thoroughly absorbed watching Clint Eastwood in The Enforcer. And, of course, what marathon would be complete without a box of pizza and a bottle of beer?

It's quiet enough back in Cardiff he could technically be doing this there, but honestly? He's missed the Plane. And the Astral plane is a little more scenic.]

[ And have a Time Lord that has not been around for quite sometime herself! Her old curiosity has gotten the better of her once more as she just sort of wanders into this area, arms behind her back as she looks around for a bit. ]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Focused as he is on his film, he's not so absorbed that he doesn't notice Romana wandering around the area. Unfortunately, he's just getting to a good bit. He'll be with you after DiGeorgio's been left for dead, Romana.]

[ Ianto, you deserve a Roxas. ... he happens to have a pretty severe case of amnesia thanks to an experiment, but let's forget about that for a moment. He just kind of stands next to Ianto for a moment, staring at the TV in curiosity. ]

... What's that?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...And that earns you a funny look, Roxas. But he's going to assume he means what's playing, rather than the TV itself.]

Dirty Harry film. Never watched one before?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Dirty Harry film? [ He shakes his head. ]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

They're crime thrillers. About a police officer in San Francisco.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[Sorin shall be drifting up behind him; and watching the film with interest] ...On of your favourites?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He tries to figure that out, but there are a lot of things he hasn't heard of before in that explanation. ] ... Huh?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

One of them, yes.

[Sorin sounds strangely familiar, though he can't quite place it. Probably because he's a little more humanoid this time.]

...Probably a stupid question, but have we met?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Well, that was a pretty straight forward explanation, so...]

Where exactly are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Um... Hollow Bastion.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

It's a good film.

[His face freezes for a second before he manages a calm smile; COMPLETELY CALM]

I don't think so- unless my memory is faulty; what's your name?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Ah. Doesn't sound familiar. It's not on Earth, I take it?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

... I don't know.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Very good film. It's a pity I didn't watch the first two here.

[...Well, that's embarrassing. He may be floundering a little. Just barely.]

Ianto. Jones. I don't think you have, actually. You just sounded familiar.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd assume not, if you're not familiar with the name.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

I... don't remember a lot of things. It might be.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Amnesia?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...Memory loss.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Oh. [ He nods. ] Yeah.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Any idea what caused it?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

No... [ He shrugs. ]

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[Oh don't mind her, Ianto. For the moment she's looking through those little pamphlets that come with the office. They're very informative!]

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

Indeed; you could've found fellow enthusiasts.

[Mwahaha, off the hook~; he shall be smiling in a perfectly forgiving way now (MWHAHAHA)]

Sorin- and that's perfectly alright; we all make mistakes- I'm sure somebody here resembles me.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It would appear I have anyway.

[Still feeling like he's missing something, but whatever. He'll have time to think on it later.]

I think it was more your voice I thought was familiar, actually.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

No... Well, I suppose you'd have forgotten if you did.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He nods, but doesn't seem too perturbed about it either way. ]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Scene's over, so he pauses, finally paying attention to Romana. Is he like this when people take an interest to the Tourist Information office in Cardiff? Possibly. The point isn't exactly to encourage people to use it.]

Anything in particular you're looking for?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Still. Most cases of amnesia last less than 24 hours. I'm sure you'll be fine soon enough.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He frowns at that. ] It's been... a lot more than that.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Do you know how long?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Um... [ He thinks about that, and recalls hearing Leon speaking with Aerith from the hallway a few days ago. ] More than a week...?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...Well, under normal circumstances I'm pretty sure that's very rare. Could the Twins have anything to do with it?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

The Twins?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't even look up when addressed. Romana flips through the pamphlet in half-interest before setting it back down in the slot she had taken it from.]

Nothing in particular. It's been some time since I have been much of anywhere on Earth. I only wanted to see if much has changed since my last visit.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose that would depend on when you last visited... Although you'll only find information on Cardiff in those.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

The people who brought us here to start with. I take it you've forgotten them as well?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He nods slowly. ]

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

Better late than never; as they say.

[Sorin would prefer that he didn't; but unfortunately mind reading is not a skill that can be used unless a lot of intimate forehead touching is involved and so Ianto is safe]

Well, I've heard that a great many people here have skill with imitations.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

I had never been to Cardiff. My last visit on Earth was to Paris and that was quite a few centuries ago.
