twenty-ninth rift

[chronosexual]

Well, everything seems back to normal now. Everyone got their childhood stuff sorted? Gwen, thank you for being an absolute angel with me and Ianto over that... event. At least now you've gotten a little taste of the things that go on here, right? And Ianto, sweetheart, you make the most adorable little teenager. Too bad we weren't contemporaries at that age.

[Private to Aisling]

I've finished setting up my greenhouse in the Hub, and I was hoping that I could have your blessing in filling it with plants from the forest to grow and study. Also, I'm not sure if you've met Gwen, but I'm sure she'd love to have you.

EDIT: Does anyone know Aisling? I haven't seen her in a little while. I even went to the forest and didn't see her. Has anyone heard from her?

I still can't believe that happened. At least I caught the two of you before you got into trouble.

[chronosexual]

Welcome to the neighbourhood, Gwen. Buckle up, because it's a bumpy ride.

[chronosexual]

But not the fun kind.


...Not usually.

[bloodywelsh]

What other sorts of not-fun things happen here, exactly? Are there patterns? Anything specific we can prepare for?

[chronosexual]

No patterns at all. Usually a few weeks between each event, but it's all totally random.

The only thing that leaves any clues is the kidnappings. But even then, it's hard to tell whether it's a kidnapping or a release.

[bloodywelsh]

Who is responsible for the kidnappings? How often do they occur?

[chronosexual]

There was a period where we didn't have any but... They've started happening again. I got to be the last one. You're lucky you missed it.

[bloodywelsh]

Oh, Jack... What happened? Who the hell did it?!

[chronosexual]

It's... hard to explain. And it's over now. That's the most important part, so don't worry about it, all right?

I've got some notes, though, if you want to look at them. It wasn't pretty, but again, it's over. So let's not talk about it, hm? That's not what's important.

[bloodywelsh]

But..

Yes, I'd like to see your notes.

But, Jack. You just told me that you were kidnapped and that other people are probably going to be as well! And you don't want me to worry?

hey guess who fails. Time's up, it's me.

[chronosexual]

About me? No. About the others, of course. Mine's done and over with, Gwen, and I've said all I'm going to about it. If you want my notes, I'll leave them on my desk for you, but that's as far as it goes from me.

I can't stop you from talking to Ianto or anyone else, but in any of these future situations, I hope I can have your help if I need it.
