Summary: Jack and Ianto discuss the idea of throwing a baby shower
Author's Note: Written for fandom_me  who wanted a story where Jack was celebrating something, I hope planning the celebration instead is okay...

 

“A baby shower, Ianto, that’s what we need to do!  We need to throw her a baby shower!”

“A baby shower, Sir?”

“Sure!  Why not?  She’d love it.  Everyone loves a baby shower!”

“But... a baby shower?”

“Come on, it’ll be fun.  It’ll give us a chance to spruce up the place...”

“Spruce up, Sir?”

“We’ll scrub this place till it shines!  Maybe hang some decorations...”

“Decorations, Sir?”

“Of course decorations!  Baby showers need decorations!  It’s tradition!!”

“I wasn’t aware that there were traditions regarding pterodactyls, Sir”

“Very funny.  You can be such a spoilsport, Ianto.”

“Just being practical, Sir.”

If it's any consolation, one of my team's jobs is to deal with persistent nutters who ring the council - and believe me, some of them are *really* nasty. What we have found is that the ones who are the most unbelievable are usually pretty housebound - it seems to somehow go together.

Maybe they're bored and have nothing else to do?

That's pretty much what we concluded...also it often seemed to be at the same time of the day - when there was nothing on tv, or the home help had gone, or they were due another dose of meds....

One of the old boys who used to ring me was so ferocious that I'd have called the police if it wasn't that I knew he walked with two sticks and an oxygen cylinder. Another inhabited a caravan in the middle of a field. Another rings us at 3am and leaves screamed abuse and threats on the voicemail. Obviously she can't sleep.

We have a few regulars like that where I work (a social services sort of agency/community center) they call like clockwork. I guess it was only a matter of time to run into them online too

You got it. And they *do* latch on to one individual and drive them batty, then go on to someone else. It's a behaviour pattern I've seen before.

I'm almost think of turning back on anonmyous posting but keeping IP logging so I can snag it when they do another attack post

Depends whether you think you can do anything about it I suppose.
