Chwe Deg Naw: Dawn Chorus

[kinky_stopwatch]

[Ianto is leaning in the doorway, a mug of coffee in his hand and a brush leaning against the wall. He was up with the dawn and had cleaned the hub, and fed Myfanwy before moving on to the shop front brushing out the dust of the tourist shop into the street. He settles against the jamb watching the inhabitants open up their shops and cafes.]

 You know for a place that can be so dreadful, there's something to be said for sunny mornings on quiet streets.  At the end of the day it's not the worst place to live. I imagine some of you have far more terrifying origins.

[signedlefthanded]

I miss home, but being here is honestly a godsend.

Dictated too

[kinky_stopwatch]

Is it that much safer here?

[signedlefthanded]

My parents murderer married me when I was 14 and has since tried to kill and send me to jail ever since. I'm technically wanted by the authorities and I'm about to get in a boat with him. I have no home, no income, no chance of ever becoming anything.

Yes, this is considerably safer.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Well I won't disagree with you there.

I know it's not my place but...what has stopped you from dealing with him first, permenantly. You're evidently quite a capable young woman and if he's trying to kill you well...

[signedlefthanded]

I don't want to be like him. And killing him won't change anything. If he dies, the truth dies with him.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Fair enough.

Well good luck, for what it's worth I hope it does get resolved in your favour.

[signedlefthanded]

Not many things have gone in my favor.

[kinky_stopwatch]

There's always a first time, particularly i fyou consider this place a respite.

[signedlefthanded]

It's not exactly a respite given the losses I've endured.

[kinky_stopwatch]

At least there's no one blaming you for a crime you haven't committed.

[signedlefthanded]

I guess everything comes with a price. I traded that for hallucinations and code.

[kinky_stopwatch]

How bad are the hallucinations? If you don't mind saying.

[signedlefthanded]

It only happened once. And they were blood on my hands. Pretty significant since the castle also took away a certain memory.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Oh I'm sorry...memories are the worst things to lose.

[signedlefthanded]

They really are.

[someoneto_carry]

[Oh hey she remembers you!]

Not sure about more terrifyin', but it was different alright.

Dictated

[kinky_stopwatch]

What was it that you actually did exactly?

Dictated

[someoneto_carry]

Just traveled around, lookin' for work.

In space.

Dictated

[kinky_stopwatch]

Well...that's different, are there a lot of opportunities in space?

Dictated

[someoneto_carry]

Sometimes, if you're lucky.

Dictated forever

[kinky_stopwatch]

Isn't it dangerous though, working out there?

and ever!

[someoneto_carry]

Can be. But you go where the work is.

<33

[kinky_stopwatch]

Fair enough, I suppose it gives you your own freedom, is that why you chose it?

[someoneto_carry]

It was the winning straw, I'd say.

[bro_codebreaker]

[one such inhabitant just finished opening his own shop, thank you very much, and is wandering over with his own coffee while the rest of the staff mans the till]

Hey, bro. What up?

[kinky_stopwatch]

[A grin crosses Ianto's face at the sight of him]

Hi Barney, nothing much just enjoying the town air. DO you want to come in, I imagine Myfanwy's missed you.

[bro_codebreaker]

Uhh ... [he glanced over his shoulder at the shop. when did he start legitimately caring about his work? glancing back and forth between the Kat and Ianto, he frowned]

Missed me, right.

Uh, no, thanks, I should probably stick around the 'Kat. Maybe when I'm not on the clock.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Oh...okay, that's alright.

[Leans against his broom]

How is the Kat doing? I should do a calibration on those coffee machines some time soon.

[bro_codebreaker]

Yeah, might not be a bad idea. I haven't really seen you around much. [that is not a look of concern, you're seeing things]

[kinky_stopwatch]

Yeah...I've just been thinking about things.

[bro_codebreaker]

[he glances at Ianto, vaguely annoyed. time was, Ianto would just TELL him what he was thinking about, spare no expense. maybe it was just because there wasn't pizza or chip butties or booze involved. or maybe this place was changing him too much. ... orrrrrrrrrrrr you know it could be that the last time they spoke, Barney'd told him he was giving up and that hadn't gone over too well, but he wasn't considering that. there was no way anything was ever really HIS fault]

Aaaaaaand? You gonna tell me what things?

[kinky_stopwatch]

(Sorry RL took over - But I'm here a little sniffly but here :D)

Two of Paul's friends are here...Jack went again and part of me...I know it's an idiotic part but part of me is kind of wondering if this place is made for just taking you to pieces inside your head and seeing what happens.

[prevenge]

It's not dreadful here!

[kinky_stopwatch]

How long have you stayed here?

[prevenge]

Um... a few days, maybe?

[kinky_stopwatch]

Give it time.

[prevenge]

I don't believe you!

[kinky_stopwatch]

You don't have to.

[prevenge]

Maybe it's awful to you because you're such a sourpuss.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Maybe it is. You'll find out for yourself soon enough.

[prevenge]

I don't believe you.

[optimystic]

That's a good point, there are worse places.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Are you talking about where you've come from?

[optimystic]

No, I'm pretty lucky. But I've heard some bad stories.

[kinky_stopwatch]

There's a fair few about unfortunately.

[optimystic]

Yeah... it's sad to think about.
