brb

[sariagray]

I wrote this ages ago, and I KNOW I posted it here, but now I can't find it. So I'm posting it again. Just because it made me laugh. A lot. This was all prompted by analineblue and me discussing the benefits of "brb." It's...almost fic?

BRB

Jack: See?
Suzie: (automated message) brb
Ianto: Well, it’s hardly accurate now.
Ianto: I’ll be sure to clear it out when I delete her out of the system.
Jack: Thanks. Don’t forget to set up Gwen’s access, too.
 
 
Owen: Jack?
Jack: (automated message) brb, time travel.
Owen: Do you think he’s serious?
Tosh: No, I hacked in. He last updated this weeks ago.
Gwen: So then where is he?
Ianto: Well, if he is time traveling…
Tosh: He could’ve gone back and updated his away message! Ianto, you’re brilliant!
***
Jack: Ianto, don’t trust Saxon.
Ianto: (automated message) brb, Himalayas
Jack: kiuyfrxsdjhgfkjh
 
 
Tosh: Ianto, have you seen Jack? I need him to approve the forms for this month's requisitions.
Ianto: Well, he just sent me a text.
Tosh: And?
Ianto: It said 'brb, apocalypse.'
Tosh: ....
Tosh: Ah.
Tosh: Okay then.
Ianto: Right.
Tosh: Who taught him brb?
Ianto: Gwen, probably.
Ianto: Would you like me to forge his signature again?
Tosh: Yes. Please.
 
 
Gwen: IANTO!
Ianto: Yes, Gwen? Can I help you?
Gwen: Can you put your special tea in my princess mug!
Gwen: Please! 
Jack: o.O
Jack: I want your special tea in my princess mug, too.
Gwen: Jack! 
Ianto: I put my coffee in your regular mug.
Jack: ....
Jack: Oh. 
Ianto: Yep.
Jack: That wasn't...?
Ianto: Nope.
Gwen: Tea? Please? 
Ianto: Coming up, Gwen.
Jack: Damn. 
Ianto: brb, tea.
Gwen: Is this like the "brb, weevil hunting" message I got the other night?
Gwen: Because there was nothing "brb" about that at all.
Jack: There was nothing "weevil hunting" about it, either.
Gwen: *headdesk*
 
 
Rhys: I’m thinking lasagna tonight.
Gwen: brb, Torchwood.
Rhys: Or…not.
 
 
Jack: Look, I said I was sorry.
Ianto: Yes. I noticed.
Jack: Forgive me?
Ianto: Nope.
Jack: Why not?
Ianto: Because “brb, dying” is NOT. FUNNY.

You're right, you have posted this before, but damn it, it is just as funny the second time!

Love the last line from Ianto, btw! Priceless.

<3 I am SO GLAD I'm not insane. I did an overhaul of my tags a couple of weeks ago and now I'm lost, and I just gave up looking for it. So I'm happy it's still funny, and not annoying. :D

[sariagray.livejournal.com]

Hurray! I'm happy you enjoyed. I never posted it to a comm, because it's just a teensy little thing, so I'm glad to be able to share it again! :D
