[adstringendum - video - backdated to last week]

[quietandgeeky]

[Tosh looks worn out and a little bit wary, not unlike many other residents] Five years of hallucinations - of imagining a life for myself instead of being locked in an asylum for the criminally insane. They told me that Jack was a figment of my imagination - that everybody was.

I don't know why I would imagine- [she stops herself just in time]

You looked pretty cool as a mermaid, too.

[A little pause.]

Want to talk, love?

[quietandgeeky]

[she gives Jack a weary smile] I think you would say that about anybody stuck in a seashell bra for a week, Jack.

I'd appreciate it.

[jackedthename]

...Well, yes, but I don't look half as good in a seashell bra as you do.

Let's talk, then.

[quietandgeeky]

You're probably underestimating your ocean-themed transvestism potential.

I'm in my room, if you're around.

Does anything here actually ever make sense, though?

... [ Pause ] I still think you would've made a good mermaid.

[quietandgeeky]

I'm afraid I don't have the sort of figure that makes for a good mermaid, Ianto. [making a face]

I think I would've preferred an event like that to hallucinations and asylums.

[quietandgeeky]

It was definitely better, all excessive amounts of exposure aside.

[effyourcupcake]

A mermaid?

[quietandgeeky]

Shortly after I arrived, the whole city was underwater - some of us got changed to better suit our environment, and that meant that I had a, ah, fish tail.

[effyourcupcake]

That sounds like more fun than these dreams.

[quietandgeeky]

Not that that's hard.

[killedtwiceover]

Mermaid.....really?

[quietandgeeky]

The entire city was underwater, Owen.

[killedtwiceover]

Right...well, too bad I missed that, then.
