Summary: What do you do with an impossible Possimpible?

A/N: Prompt at end.
Ianto seemed troubled.
“If it’s not all wallaby, then what’s the 8% that isn’t?”
Jack shrugged.
“Who knows? A bit of this, a bit of that, not enough of anything in particular to cause real problems. They cease to exist if they attract too much of any one thing.”
“You mean they die?”
“No, they just blink out of existence, like they never were.”
Frowning, Ianto stared at the Possimpible Wallaby. It stared back.
And smiled.
Freaky.
“What do we do with it now?”
“Could send it back to the zoo.”
“Not with that smile.”
Jack looked.
“Oh. Point taken.”
A/N2: Title used is ‘Say Cheese’
TBC in ‘What’s In A Name?’

I think that could be quite freaky for a person, too. Especially if little signs of the other "bits" made themselves known, like a word printed somewhere on their body or a leaf sprouting out of their...something. But that would probably have to be a much higher percentage, right? And I am putting waaaay too much thought into this!

Date: 2014-07-02 04:45 pm (UTC)Yeah, it probably would need to be a higher percentage for noticeable differences in most people, but that's what the wallaby has in its small way. maybe a bit of human for the smile, a bit of dog to make it happy being around people, bits of a few other things that I haven't decided yet. Suggestions are always welcome.
I'm considering writing Owen's first encounter, lol! Hungover Owen, smiling wallaby... Perfect combination!
Thank you!

Date: 2014-07-02 07:12 pm (UTC)...because this is Torchwood. How is it not funky and strange and alien?
Yes, Ianto, you have your concerns in the proper order! You should always be worried about what that 8% is! I mean, what if it's 8% Jack or something?

Date: 2014-07-02 08:57 pm (UTC)It could be 2% alien but it wouldn't be 2% of ONE alien species. Maybe 0.5% of one thing, 0.8% something else, and so on. There are a LOT of bits of other things in this wallaby, but it's still mostly wallaby. With bits of several things that have opposable thumbs. *grins*
Thank you!
