Drabble: Shakespearience

Title: Shakespearience

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, Owen

Rating: G

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: An alien device is giving Owen a major headache, even though he’s not the one who’s affected.

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

A/N: For the prompt ‘The Ice Cream Man Cometh’, one of the prompts I didn’t get around to using for tw100’s challenge 288 last year. I’ve dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use. Apologies for the mangled medieval English!

“Hark! Dost thou hear? The Ice Cream Man cometh!” Ianto proclaimed grandly.

“Forsooth!” Jack replied. “Methinks thy ears dost not deceive thee, verily, the Ice Cream van approaches!”

“Wouldst thou mayhap partake of the good man’s wares?”

“Aye, certes! Let us forthwith go thither…”

“Stay right where you are!” Owen’s tone brooked no argument. “If you want ice cream, I’ll get it. You’re not goin’ out there sounding like medieval ponces!”

“Zounds! Thou art aright. Let us abide, Ianto.”

“Tosh, please tell me the effects of that bloody device will wear off soon! Otherwise I’ll be forced to kill them!”

The End

My brain is now stuck on Jack saying "Forsooth!" because that's the funniest thing ever!

[bk_forever]

ROFL! He could have said "egads"

Poor boys, and yet they understand each other, because they always do.

Thank you!

Hehehe! Oh, that's hilarious.

[bk_forever]

Thank you!

I've looked at that prompt a hundred times without getting any ideas, then suddenly it popped in to my head. I love when that happens!

LOL

*grins* Thank you kindly!

This was one of those prompts that I've looked at loads of times without getting any inspiration, then suddenly out of nowhere I had an idea. Totally silly, but good fun.

Poor Owen, lol.

[bk_forever]

Owen will survive, he's just tired of the boys being all dramatic, lol!

Thank you!

Zounds! I am laughing out loud now, great drabble

[bk_forever]

*grins* And it's all because the word 'cometh' was in the prompt, it made me go all medieval English, lol!

Thank you!

Verily, this made me snicker :)

[bk_forever]

Forsooth! *grins*

Your Owen icon is perfect!

LOL This is brilliant!! The boys speaking in Ye Olde English while poor Owen suffers to figure it out.

Owen is torn between sedating them so they sleep and leave him in peace, and shooting them both in the hope that when they revive they'll have re-set to how they were before they got affected. (I've arbitrarily decided that Ianto is already immortal in this one, just because that way he won't be in danger if Owen snaps, which is a distinct possibility, lol!)

Thank you!

Honestly, I'm with Owen-I swear I'd shoot them too but why the heck I got this image of the Doctor popping up when the two of them are talking like this and taking them on an adventure, I don't know.

I know what happened the last time I got a weird vibe off one of your great stories...

Enjoy your beading ;)

It would drive me nuts, but the poor boys can't help it! LOL about the Doctor showing up. Knowing him, he'd need their help immediately, somewhere that only speaking Medieval English would prove very difficult.

Thank you!

Dost Mother know Jack is wearing her drapes? (Had to say it!) LOL

[bk_forever]

ROFL! I bet he would too, given half a chance!

Thank you!

[timelordshines.livejournal.com]

Hehe poor Owen! :-)

[bk_forever]

He's not fond of Shakespeare, obviously!

Thank you!
