Date: 2023-11-08 12:11 am (UTC)Fill: Vitally Important [Torchwood: Ianto, Jack, OCs: PG]
Date: 2023-11-08 03:04 pm (UTC)Out of the five people they’d interviewed so far for the position of assistant archivist, he was hands down the best, and Ianto was almost ready to offer him the job, but first, a casual chat over refreshments might be in order. In his experience, people were always on their best behaviour during interviews; it never hurt to see what they were like once they felt more at ease.
“Right, let’s take a break, have a drink, and then we’ll get down to details. Coffee?”
“Ugh, no thanks, disgusting stuff; I never touch it, can’t even stand the smell. If I had my way, it’d be banned in all workplaces, like smoking is. No one should have to put up with that vile stink all the time.”
Somehow Ianto managed not to let his shock show on his face. “Tea, then?”
“Ah, that’s more like it! Don’t mind if I do. Nothing beats a good cuppa.”
It didn’t take Ianto long to serve up a perfect cup of tea, liberally dosed with Retcon. He was a bit disappointed, because Harry was so perfect for Torchwood in every other way, but the coffee thing was non-negotiable. Coffee was what kept Torchwood running; anyone who didn’t like it simply had no place there.
When the tea was finished, Ianto ushered Harry out of the office he and Jack had rented for the interview process. “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.” He didn’t even bother arranging a taxi to take Harry home, because honestly, the man didn’t deserve such consideration. If he happened to fall asleep on public transport, that would be his tough luck. It would have been a different matter if young Mr Prentiss had driven to the interview, but Ianto had taken pains to inform every candidate that there was no parking available, and that they’d be reimbursed for all travel costs.
“Better to find out now instead of after you hired him,” Jack pointed out.
Ianto sighed, shoulders drooping. “I know, but still, everything else about him was ideal, and he had some good suggestions.”
“Which you’ll no doubt implement as soon as possible.” Jack knew his lover well.
“Of course I will, there’s no point wasting ideas, even if the person who came up with them is totally unsuitable. How can anyone not like coffee? It’s the perfect beverage, all year round!”

Date: 2023-11-08 03:04 pm (UTC)“Mm.” Ianto’s voice sounded slightly muffled against Jack’s shoulder. “Maybe we should add a question to the form we give candidates to fill in.”
“You mean, ‘On a scale of zero to ten, how much do you like coffee’?”
“I was thinking more along the lines of ‘How do you take your coffee’? That way, we can say it’s so we can provide their beverage of choice at the interview.”
“Ah, clever!”
“Thanks, I thought so.”
“Okay, we’ll do that the next time we have to interview for a position. Are you ready for the next candidate?”
“I’m not sure, it’s quite possible I’m suffering from shock.”
“I can understand that. We can tell the rest that there’s been an emergency and ask them to come back another day.”
“No, that would just prolong the torture. How many more are there?”
“Just two: the girl from the university library, and the guy who worked at that museum…”
Ianto stepped back, frowning at Jack. “That would be the British Museum, Jack.”
Jack snapped his fingers, grinning. “That’s the one.”
“Right, because it’s only one of the most famous museums in the world.”
“Hey, I never claimed to know everything! That’s your job.”
“Of course it is. Well, best show willing; let’s have the next one.”
“Girl or guy?”
“Girl, I think.”
“That’ll be Sarah Flint.”
Ianto returned behind the desk as Jack ushered the next interviewee in.
“Ah, Ms Flint.” Ianto reached across the desk to shake her hand. “May I offer you a cup of coffee before we begin?”
“Ooh, yes please!” Sarah blushed slightly. “Sorry, I practically live on coffee, probably drink way too much. My mam says I’m addicted, but if I am… Well, there’s worse things to be addicted too, right?”
“Couldn’t have said it better myself.” Ianto smiled as he poured three cups of his finest, passing one to Sarah, and one to Jack before resuming his seat and sipping from his own cup. “Now, why don’t you start by telling us a bit about yourself and why you’re interested in the job of archive assistant?”
He had a good feeling about this one.
