Title: Seeing Things? - Sequel to ‘What’s In A Name?’

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Owen, OC, mentions Ianto

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 316 – Reverse Fandom – How I Met Your Mother at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: A hung-over Owen comes across something weird in the autopsy bay.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: Prompt at end. This one and the next one are sort of two sides of the same scene – Owen’s POV, then events from Ianto and Jack’s POV. I’ll try to get both posted today.

Slumping at his desk in the autopsy bay, Owen put his head in his hands, groaning. He shouldn’t have had that last pint; his head was killing him. He wished he’d stayed home in bed, but he’d left a test running the night before and needed to check the results.

A noise nearby made him look up, hoping Ianto was bringing a much-needed coffee. It wasn’t Ianto.

Usually when he was drunk or seriously hung-over, Owen expected to see pink elephants like everyone did, maybe the odd purple giraffe. That was fine. This though…

A wallaby was smiling at him.

A/N2: Title used is ‘Purple Giraffe’

TBC in ‘Not Seeing Things’

This was hilarious! Exactly what I'd have expected from Owen, although the purple giraffe is a new one on me.

Well, it's Owen, he's already less than normal and 'Purple Giraffe' was the only prompt that would work for this one, so purple giraffe it is, lol!

Thank you!

Haha! Poor Owen!

[bk_forever]

He should be accustomed to weirdness, but I suppose there are degrees of weird and when you're already hungover, it can be a bit much, lol!

Thank you!

omg poor Owen...this won't be good for him ... LMAO!!!

[bk_forever]

He deserves it! He drinks too much, he should consider sobering up, then he'd know what's real and what isn't!

Thank you!

hopefully that will put him off drinking too much in the future LOL

great drabble.

[bk_forever]

I'm sure everyone would approve of that, lol!

Thank you!

Haha, looks like helpful little Daisy wants to cheer him up! :D

[bk_forever]

She's trying, he hates to see people so down. She's naturally cheerful herself, lol!

Thank you!

hahahahah poor Owen!

Smiling wallabies can be a shock to the system when you're not expecting it!

Thank you!

Yeah, if I saw a smiling wallaby I'd blame it on the alcohol. *giggles*

[bk_forever]

It's a natural assumption. If you're Owen. At the very least, he's got to be dubious about whether it's really there or not, lol!

Thank you!
