[ When the feed clicks on, there's only Ianto in the town center. He looks like he's just been running for his life - which technically, he had only moments ago. His face is bleeding and dingy as he searches his surroundings. While the scenery is currently different, and he's not being shot at, he's not taking a chance. Finally after a minute of fumbling, he speaks. The man's voice has a deep Welsh lit to it, and there is definitely a sense of confusion hidden somewhere in it.]

I - hello?

[ ... quietly, more of an observation to himself: ] This doesn't look like Cardiff anymore.

Right. I'm either very concussed - or this is the work of the Rift. I honestly think in this case I'd prefer the former. But with current luck standing the way it is...

[Sigh. He's still wary and alert, looking around for anything, but nothing is familiar here. No stinking pile of rubble where the Hub had been. Just an unfamiliar city.]

I'm gathering this is a phone of some sort, and someone is out there who can hear this - so I'd appreciate someone telling me where I am.

[ooc: so, Ianto is new and just arriving but hit him up with fourth wall stuff and confuse him even more if you want to. Duplicates. Face twins. Whatever. Just don't tell him he's fictional.]

Comments

[likesavantgarde]

Very friendly and informative. I guess because everyone has been new at one point.

And then we were very nearly blown up. Didn't get a chance to see how that all turned out. [he's looking for a hint or two, yep.]

[am_i_being_rude]

Also a nice sort of regular kind of break to the normal tune of things. Showing someone around is quite usual.

[Ianto why you gotta be so curious.] Were you? I didn't hear about that. I suspect I would have if it had happened. [Probably. Maybe.]

[likesavantgarde]

Ah, yes. The curses? Can't blame anyone for taking the normal where they can find it.

Probably would've. But seeing as I don't know what happens after, I can't say for sure.

[am_i_being_rude]

They're not too bad for the most part - they can be interesting, at least. Not much for normal though, yeah.

[He is naturally predisposed towards really not wanting to tell people about what's in their future, even if he does think that people who leave here don't remember here afterward. So.] Oh, I'd suspect that all works out. More fun not knowing though! I love not knowing things.

[likesavantgarde]

Sounds like home already.

I just can't help but wonder, but I understand why I probably shouldn't ask.

[am_i_being_rude]

It is nice in that respect.

[He waves a hand.] You know, possibly changes the outcome if you know what the outcome is. Fluid points and all that. I can tell you it's someone from Cardiff who takes silver for archery in 2012, if that helps with some of the wondering.

[likesavantgarde]

I figured that as much.

Silver, yeah? Didn't know we had it in us.

[am_i_being_rude]

Oh, I don't know. You lot've made it living on a rift for quite a while now; I'd think archery'd be a sight easier to work with than that. Mind, I suppose that's if you've got a compound bow. The traditional ones can be a little ridiculous.

[likesavantgarde]

I wouldn't know, I never learned archery.

[am_i_being_rude]

Neither did I. Maybe that had something to do with it... [Huh. There's a thought.]

You met your fellow Torchwoodian compatriots in-frequent-arms yet? There's at least... Two of them here, by my count.

[likesavantgarde]

Maybe you ought to learn. Could come in handy.

Jack and Gwen? Yeah, I've spoken with them already.

[am_i_being_rude]

You think? I'm still working on learning the guitar. Arguably less useful but prettier.

Oh good! Yeah, those two them. Them's the two. Bet they're happy to see you.
