01 [LOCKED TO TORCHWOOD MEMBERS] I wish I could apologize, be dignified

[itsadeadmansparty]

Did you three really think I wouldn't figure it out?

I JUST ASKED YOU A DIRECT QUESTION!

[torchwoodteaboy]

You have not. Come on, Owen. Ask the damned question. You can't even say the word, can you?

[itsadeadmansparty]

You haven't said it either.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I'm not the one intent on making myself and everyone around me miserable, either.

[itsadeadmansparty]

I swear to God, Ianto Jones, don't you dare make me into the villain here.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Then don't make villains of us.

For the love of god, Owen. Don't you think there's a reason that we might not've told you about it right off the bat? Do you think we enjoy it, hm? D'you think we get some sort of kick out of trying to lie to you about this, about avoiding all your questions? Would you rather it'd been the first thing to come out of our mouths when we saw you on here?

"Hello, Owen. It's really very nice to see you on here, considering the fact that you're dead where we are." Is that what you really wanted to hear? Is it?

[itsadeadmansparty]

You said it.

[torchwoodteaboy]

And you got what you wanted to know. Are you happy now? That you've forced it out of me? Do you need me to say it again?

You died. You're not here in the future, because you're dead. And it's horrible, and we all miss you terribly, even me, even though you're an absolute nightmare to me most of the time, I miss having you around, and I didn't want to say that to you because there's nothing to do about it, and it bloody well sucks, but there you are. Since you wanted to hear it so badly.

[itsadeadmansparty]

Why?

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Ianto pauses to try and get himself calmed down before he responds to this] Why what?

[itsadeadmansparty]

It was a long time ago for you. Nostalgia has a way of making even the shittiest people look good. Look at how I do things and tell me honestly that you could miss it.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I do. God help me, I honestly do. You... You might not even be far enough along in the scheme of things to even notice me, but. We did get along, you and I. Or we will. We do.

[itsadeadmansparty]

Maybe so. But those are spoilers. This whole community is a spoiler.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Just be glad you didn't get some sort of video of what's to come posted through a virus or something. It's done that before. At least you figured it out before something like that happened. As horrible as it is that you've figured it out.

[itsadeadmansparty]

Yeah. Wouldn't want someone to spoil it for me, I suppose.

[torchwoodteaboy]

If you're trying to make some sort of dig there, need I remind you that you're the one who confronted us about it, not the other way around.
