Good afternoon, unwilling citizens of the Tranquility. Ianto Jones here. As it turns out, the ship has seen fit to gift me with all the necessary materials for making professional signage. As a General Support officer, I figured I might as well branch further into public service and put these materials to use.

[He pans his communicator around to show a neat-looking sign he's set up in the Oxygen Gardens. Myfanwy is in the background, perched on the branch of a large tree and tilting her head inquisitively.]

Anyone who feels the need for any official signage is welcome to ask. Anyone who feels the need for less official signage is also welcome to ask, but as it's for personal and not public use, I'll be taking advantage of the bartering system and asking for something in return. I would have made this offer sooner, but I seem to have been out of commission for a month. Sorry about that.

As if embarrassing myself in front of Obi-Wan Kenobi weren't enough, I've now made the world's most humiliating first impression on James Bond, and Anakin Skywalker just showed up with R2D2. Please save me from myself and come have more drinks with me. I'm trying to rope Jenna in too, so feel free to bring a friend.

I haven't seen you about yet. How are you?

[Locked to Jenna; encrypted 100%]
I know we need to talk business, but I don't feel like it at the moment. Come have drinks with me and let me tell you about my most recent humiliation.

How's the eye socket? Have you gotten a cool eyepatch and started hiding things in there? Or are you going for something more bionic?

[Cambitas encryption; locked to Cambitas members]
We have a new recruit. Thought I should let you lot know.

Oh god you didn't. Please tell me you didn't.

-Does he have a breathing impediment or is it too soon for those references? How close does he look to going dark side?

Oh, it's red! Red's a pretty color, but I like blue. Blue is prettier! You should make it blue.

Um. There's a monster there too. Is it a nice monster?

I didn't! He's practically a baby. A mini-Vader. And somehow I refrained from saying so. Or saying anything at all.

Blue is an insufficient color for warning off idiots. Too soothing.

And that is Myfanwy, my pteranodon. She's nice enough. Tends to ignore people if she doesn't know them.

Well.

That's not something you see everyday.

[her head cants to the side, then she's back to paying attention.]

What sort of materials did you get? I'm trying to make a chess set for some friends.

But if it's pretty maybe more people will look at it!

What's a terra-- terrano--...

Pteranodon. She's a type of dinosaur... Well, technically a pterosaur, but close enough. A prehistoric creature from Earth.

Red is the color most commonly associated with warning or danger. It's also one of the most eye-catching colors in the spectrum. But I'll keep it in mind.

Any particular type? I can manage a board without a problem, but not the pieces.

To be honest, the board is the hard part. Pieces are easy enough to cobble together with odds and ends. As long as I can theme the ranks together, I'm set.

[The things she does for a not!lawyer and an angel.]

I've been putting together a pile of possibles, but without the board it's mostly ... junk.

Di-no-sore. [ There was nothing like that in the Fabricated World. Mary is fascinated. ] What does she eat?

It's also the color of roses and apples and lips and-- and fire. [ Not a fan of that fire stuff, nope. ] What about pink? [ Pink is much nicer. ]

Meat and sometimes chocolate.

Pink is the color of love and affection. Not quite what I'm going for, I'm afraid.

Got it. Were you hoping for the traditional black and white, or something more colorful?

Hee! She likes candy? I like candy too!

Oh. [ Hmm. ] Maybe we can put pink somewhere else. There should be more pink here. And yellow.

I want a "KEEP OUT BAD GUYS" sign. Right on my room door!

Episode I or Episode II?

Wait -- [ Peter remembers Myfanwy stealing his chocolate, and his expression's slightly surprised. ]

That creature's yours?

You make awfully polite signs, Ianto.

[ yeah, she is somewhat amused by that. ]

And I'm okay - just been lying low - well, as much as one can on this ship. [ a shrug ] How are you?

Edited (dont mind me, i can spell) 2013-01-11 03:36 (UTC)

[ Hi Ianto, see the robotic eye that looks like the bastard child of a terminator and just a robot eye. At least the eye part is the blue instead of red. Yay not creeping you out. ]

Bionic. I still wanted two eyes. Who's the newbie?

I have no idea. I signed off before I could blurt out something really stupid and full of spoilers he'd doubtless not appreciate. No need to push him over the edge prematurely.

Just chocolate. Preferably dark. No need to get her addicted to anything else, hence why people shouldn't feed her unless I've asked them to.

There are some pink flowers here in the gardens. And yellow.

[ADORABLE]

I think I can manage that. Have you asked your mum?

Myfanwy, my pteranodon, yes.

Jenna Sommers. She'll be helping me with the guide, making it more cohesive and less... sarcastic. Apparently people aren't inclined to take it seriously enough when I mock them.

Did you design that thing with any special powers? X-ray vision...?

We British tend to be very polite with our signage. Condescendingly so.

I'm... better, now I'm not in a stasis coma when I'm not meant to be. Jack didn't take it so well.

Not bad. How much material did ya get, then.
