accidental video

[jackedthename]

[The PCDs have an annoying tendency to turn on to video whenever Jack is around, don't they. Maybe they just like him. In any case, congratulations, Adstring, you're being treated to the lovely sight of Jack and Ianto, both shirtless and kissing. Neither of them notice that the PCD is running, and Jack pulls back after a moment or two, smiling.]

Well. D'you want to hide first, or shall I?

[All his attention is on Ianto, and he leans over for a moment. At that moment, a thorny brown paw pokes at the PCD, and the video shuts off abruptly .]

Alright, alright, whatever. [He's grinning, though.]

How are you?

[She huffs a bit, though she's glad for the change in subject.]

I'm all right. Better than I have been in a while, really. And you?

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[There's a little pause.]

I'll do, I suppose.

[Give her a second to make her mind go blank before it runs away on her.] ... yes, I imagine so.

[It is very welcome to run away! Jack doesn't mind.]

We've had a new arrival to the house recently.

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

[No she needs it.]

Oh? And who would that be?

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[Oh, fine. :(]

Er. ...Captain Jack Harkness. Bit of a long story.

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

But I thought you-....

Is it some sort of... twin or clone or some such thing?

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

..No, he's -- the original one. The real deal.

I sort of, ah, borrowed his name.

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

... why would you do that? Were you committing fraud?

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

I needed a name because my real name had -- has -- not exactly good things connected to it. Ended up in the war, found a bloke who was American and had just died, it was easy to say he'd just been unaccounted for. [A shrug.]

I didn't know I'd end up meeting the guy.

... don't you think it would be wise to start using your real name here? After all, it isn't as though those negative connotations could have followed you here.

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

There are quite a few people from my world here. And they all know me as Jack, anyway. It's just easier.

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it make things more awkward for the real Jack?

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I offered to change my name, but he said I didn't have to, so -- it's his decision.

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

Mm. I imagine things are a bit awkward, still.

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[A little shrug.] You get used to awkward after a while.

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

I suppose I can't deny that. [Her boyfriend, he's made of awkward, but she likes him anyway.]

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Trust me on that one. [A little grin.]

[Video]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Well, good.
