Awww--seven non-swans! Poor things probably didn't know what hit 'em when they hit the water. Guess the gang will have to haul them back to the Hub to dry them off. *Giggles at the mental image of Ianto using a hair-dryer on a big swan-like thing.*

[badly_knitted]

I suspect they don't look much like swans either - but the hairdryer? Probably. I'm sure Jack will loan his for a good cause, and Tosh and Gwen probably have haidryers in their lockers. Owen and Jack can work on towel-drying the other four until the first three are dry. I'm thinking they might not be a sentient race either, but I haven't decided. I still might write the fates of some of the things/people gifted to Torchwood by the Rift. I'm open to suggestions on what Melicans are like!

Thank you.

poor Melicans, coming to water, cold water, I guess!
loved the name!

[badly_knitted]

Poor soggy Melicans. The didn't like it, but they had a good try at swimming!

Thank you.

Poor Melicans. I bet about now they're wishing they lived anywhere but the Swan Nebula.

I can't come up with anything for the Melicans at the moment, but I have a few ideas for the six guys a-laying.

[badly_knitted]

Do tell! All ideas are welcome!

Yeah, poor waterlogged Melicans, they've never seen so much water in their lives! Usually at home there are only small pools and springs, the occasional shower of rain... Swimming is a completely alien concept to them.

*snickers* Sounds like the team has caught on. I still just want to give Ianto hugs.

Is this number 200??

[badly_knitted]

IT IS! I can't believe I forgot to mention that in the notes *headdesk* Somehow it managed to slip my mind o_O

I think perhaps Ianto has explained to the rest of the team, since they were so slow, so by this point they have a vague idea of what to expect, they just have to work out how to interpret each 'gift'.

Fear not, Jack is providing copious hugs for his frazzled Ianto. *pets Ianto* Poor boy would be hiding under the bed if not for Jack!

I read this right after reading over on AO3, so it was right in front of my mind. :) That's so awesome you made your goal!!!

I, somehow, have a mental image of Jack being very amused by all of this. That grin he gets every so often. Except for how upset it's making Ianto. I know he hates that.

[badly_knitted]

I'm sure Jack IS finding it amusing, it's fun seeing what the Rift will drop on them next, except for the unfortunate effect it's having on a very stressed Ianto!

[owensheart]

Oh brilliant LOL poor birds, great drabble.

[badly_knitted]

They certainly didn't sign up for swimming lessons! They've never seen so much water, poor things. on their world the most they find is a shallow spring or small stream. Thankfully Torchwood got to them quickly and noner of them drowned.

Thank you.
