Oh no, you didn't. That's like breaking the worst possible rule, Max. I...I'll see if I can keep the others under control. Ianto will make more when he gets home, in the meantime just...you know, try to be very quiet.

Same Filter;
Don't spend another moment worrying about it, we'll look out for him. And I'm sure the bedrooms are big enough that we could get you a second bed in there.

[ooc: She's totally teasing about the coffee, obviously.]

[ratherbelegion]

Quiet's not exactly in my nature, Tosh! Maybe I should go into hiding, instead. Change my appearance, you know. Completely incognito.

Same Filter;

Thank you. It means a lot.

Another bed won't be necessary. I've slept on worse than floors before. It's almost like home.

[ooc; and behold, he teases back. D:]

[warped_inside]

We could get you a fake wig and a mustache, I suppose. Maybe it's better if you get out of the flat though. Hide out Underground, until it blows over.

Same Filter;
Max, you are not sleeping on the floor! Don't make me move you into my room, it's very girly.

[ratherbelegion]

Oh, I can do better than that. It's another watercrafting trick!

Same Filter;

You're missing the part where I'd object to sleeping in a pretty lady's room, Tosh. Threaten me with Jack or Ianto, then we'll talk.

[warped_inside]

All right then, but don't let on where you are. I'll distract the others while Ianto makes the coffee, and let you know when the coast is clear.

Same Filter;
You'd be sleeping there alone, Max. But if it's not a good enough threat, there's always letting everyone know what really happened to the coffee this morning.

[ratherbelegion]

Sounds like a plan. I approve.

Same Filter;

I didn't even get to drink it, you know, and I've got the headache to prove it.

Same Filter;

[warped_inside]

You didn't get to drink it? What happened to it?

I've got some left from the thermos I brought to work this morning, if you want to come by and pick it up.

... It's ... probably better that you don't ask. Let's just say it involved wearing a low-slung towel and open windows and leave it at that.

That'd suit me fine. How're you doing, anyways? Haven't had a chance to sit you down and chat lately.

Why do these things have to happen while I'm at work?

If you come before noon, I'll be here -- I've got an office at the police station -- and if you come after, then I'll leave it on my desk for you. And I'm doing all right. Lot of things going on. Wouldn't mind sitting down for a chat sometime though.

Same Filter;

[ratherbelegion]

Bad luck? I could always play out a re-enactment later.

Before noon it is!

What kind of things?

Same Filter;

[warped_inside]

I'll hold you to that.

I'm setting it aside right now to save for you.

Oh, curses, mad vigilante murders, nightmares getting settled back into the swing of things here. That's all.

Same Filter;

[ratherbelegion]

You just want to see me in a towel. I won't hold it against you.

You're some sort of savior and I worship the ground you walk on accordingly.

Sounds right fun. Anything I can do?

Same Filter;

[warped_inside]

You say that like it's somehow wrong, or shocking.

You're going to give me such an ego, Max.

Well honestly, I have to admit the curse with the aliens was a lot of fun, although I didn't get to go out and shoot any myself. This thing with the murders is a lot less fun. If you really want...this probably sounds strange, but I wouldn't mind someone to get out and do something, you know, athletic with. Like go for a really good hike or have a good fight workout or anything.

Same Filter;

[ratherbelegion]

Well it's shocking to me! I'm capable of modesty sometimes, you know.

There was some sort of agreement made regarding this, if memory serves. You feed me, I flatter you, and everyone ends up happy in the end, right?

Is that what they're called? Aliens? Reminded me of... something back home.

Not strange at all. A good work-out takes the mind off a lot of things. I'd be honored.

Same Filter;

[warped_inside]

Well obviously, since you were wearing a towel.

You're right, there was, wasn't there? Carry on with the flattery then, it is Ianto's coffee after all.

I don't know if they were actually aliens or just monsters from some other world, or what. I tend to classify anything that would be an alien back home as the same here. Nasty things, really. Jack gave me a bit of a lecture over locking one up in my bathroom -- it made a mess of the tiling.

Thanks, Max. Early next week? I think Tony might be taking me camping this weekend.

There's kids living with us now! No one under eighteen is allowed anywhere near anything that should stay covered in decent company.

I could soliloquize about your beauty if you'd like?

I thought I heard something... I'd spent most of the day out and about, and the few I saw were nothing a quick firecrafting couldn't fix.

Early next week is fine by me! But you'd better have a good time with that whole camping thing.
