Hello? [You can't really see much of anything for a moment, until Tosh pushes herself up into a sitting position on a pile of sand, fumbling for her device. She's been in better shape; right now, she looks exhausted, like she hasn't slept or eaten for more than a day, and she's been crying, to boot. Oh, yeah, and her clothes are ripped, dusty, and have bloodstains on them. She pushes her glasses up for a moment, pinching the bridge of her nose, before she begins speaking again.]

I have to say, this isn't what I expected. Though, after speaking with Owen, I'm not sure I expected anything at all.

[She scoops up a handful of sand and watches the grains fall through her fingers - then, because it's the scientific sort of thing to do, she takes another handful, sniffs it, and...yep, licks a few grains.]

Well, the sand seems ordinary enough. And what about this thing? What is it?

Tosh... hi. Welcome to the City.

[sadandsingle]

Hi, Ianto.

[likesavantgarde]

Hi.

Has anyone explained to you where we are yet? [not that he's been here more than a few days, best to leave the explanations to someone who knows this place better.]

[sadandsingle]

All I know is that this isn't the afterlife.

[likesavantgarde]

No, it's not. The City. I've only been here about a week, myself. Bit of a pocket dimension, occasional curses - all sorts of strange stuff, you'll know when you see it.

Are you hurt?

[sadandsingle]

N-no. I was, obviously, but...not anymore.

[likesavantgarde]

Okay. Good.

Where are you? I could come and get you, if you'd like.

[sadandsingle]

Mercy's already coming to get me and bring me back to the house, but thanks for offering.

[likesavantgarde]

Oh, right. Probably better as she knows this place better than I do yet. I'll be seeing you in a few, then.

[sadandsingle]

Can't wait to see you, Ianto.

[likesavantgarde]

I can't either.

[Tosh may be at the receiving end of an awkward hug from him when she finally gets to the house.]

[After taking a shower and finally changing into clean clothes - she doesn't want to traumatise anybody, after all - Tosh goes poking around the house, looking for Jack and Ianto. She finds Ianto first and gives him an awkward smile] Hello there.
