[RL WITH SULU]

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Ianto looks at the people milling around in Mickey Mouse ears, at the rides around him and at the people dressed up as characters, princesses and adventurers and just about everything in between as he roams the streets of what seems to be a pretty extravagant version of Disneyland. Ianto's heard about the parks, but he's never been to one himself, and yet still, he figures that this one must be some sort of uber!park. Like that one time that all the worlds combined together into one giant mash-up, that this was the same thing only with Disney parks.

Ianto stops in front of a rather large sort of man-made pond, watching a ferryboat go by on it, and tries to figure out what he's going to do now that he's walked around and investigated the place.]

((ooc note: This thread has been made explicitly for the threading purposes of Sulu and Ianto. An identical thread for other people threading with Ianto can be found here. We just thought that, what with our average of ~200 comments per interaction, it might be better if we start Ianto and Sulu's interactions in a separate post of their own right from the start XD))

[parked]

Well, that's coming later. I was more considering the fact that we probably won't get in trouble if we end up making out in a ride or something. [A wink.] That's PG.

[torchwoodteaboy]

You're making it sound like we're teenagers... [Although. He wouldn't mind it, should it happen...] Why don't we find one to go on first, yeah? Then we can decide whether or not we're making out in it or not. [A cheeky smile]

[parked]

Yeah, yeah... [Sulu grinned and nodded up ahead, where the artificial mountain of the Matterhorn was standing.] It's just up there. It doesn't look like the line is really long, either. [Despite the fact that he's 22, Sulu can't help but be a little excited. 21st century rollercoasters were fun. Like deathtraps, really.]

[torchwoodteaboy]

It's...a mountain. [Ianto sounds slightly dubious, but it's all for show, this time around] Why is it that none of the rollercoasters in this place actually look like rollercoasters? Am I just too old-fashioned, having grown up in a place where we're lucky if we get carnivals every once and a while?

[parked]

Because it's a theme park. [Sulu gives Ianto a very skeptical look, like he's never heard of someone questioning how a theme park was supposed to look. Mostly because he never has.] Everything is set up to be like something else. You're not going to be negative about it, are you? [He's only teasing, though, from the tone of his voice and the smile on his face.]

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Ianto shoots him a begrudging look that's really only mucking about as well]

Alright, so. What does a mountain have to do with Disney, then? What sort of theme does this fall into, then, if you're so knowledgeable about these sorts of things? [Ianto is, after all, 27 years old, and has been working for Torchwood for the last 5. He isn't making the same connections that Sulu would, as someone who was both a little younger and American and therefore used to this sort of extravagance]

[parked]

I don't know. [Sulu shrugs, holding up his hands as they get in line.] It's probably a Mickey Mouse thing. Disney's still around in the 23rd century, but it's... not quite the same. Everything's been updated.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Updated, huh? So...what. Hollogram rides, or something? Hovercoasters? [Ianto's joking, slightly, but. Who knows, maybe they've got that sort of thing in the future. He's only seen a futuristic carousel, after all]

[parked]

Sort of hovercoasters. [He shrugs.] It's kind of hard to explain. Disneyland's kind of anachronistic, they keep most of the stuff for as long as I know. They just keep updating the technology and they changed this ride to mimic one of Mars's volcanoes, instead of a mountain in the alps or wherever.

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Ianto chuckles] Ah, the wonders of technology. I hope you don't mind that I'm glad we're going on the older version that's still on a track attached to the ground, yeah?

[parked]

Of course I don't mind! [Sulu grins.] These are more dangerous and therefore, more fun.

[torchwoodteaboy]

"More dangerous and therefore more fun". What ever am I to do with you and your logic? [Ianto rolls his eyes, even though, to a certain extent, he agrees.]

[parked]

Not much to do with it. At least, nothing that you'd get away with at Disneyland. [Coy? Completely.]

[torchwoodteaboy]

You're as bad as Jack, you are. [Despite his words, Ianto grips Sulu's hand tighter, because really. He loves it. Another vacation, the other man being a possible menace, the promise of non-Disneyland-appropriate activities to come in the hotel room that he was sure they would be allotted, knowing this place. All-in-all, pretty fantastic way to spend the next while, as far as Ianto's concerned]

[parked]

[Sulu just grins a little smugly at that, because he knows that Ianto definitely doesn't mind him being anything like Jack.] Just part of your type, I guess.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Mmmm, I guess. [He turns, smiling slightly smugly at Sulu in turn] Does that mean that I fit into your 'type' too, then?

[parked]

Witty, handsome, nice accent - [he grins.] I guess that's my type now, if you're going to be fitting into it.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I'm not sure that that's how it works, changing your type so that I fit into it... [Ianto blushes despite how nonchalant he's being; he always blushes when Sulu pays him compliments like this]

[parked]

It works like that in the 23rd century, then. [Sulu nudges Ianto's arm because he's joking, really. He just never really had a type. It was mostly just whoever interested him, and was interested in return.]
