Torchwood: Going shopping...

[fajrdrako]

cionaudha and I were talking today about how Ianto would show excellent judgement in making purchases - she stopped herself from buying something because she knew Ianto would save up to buy the really well-made, expensive version.

Which got me thinking about the shopping styles of the Torchwood team.

For any given purchase:

• Ianto would save for the best, custom-made, and get it just the way he wanted it.


• Gwen would just go ahead and buy it, on impulse, if she thought she liked it.


• Tosh would think about it, leave it for a future decision, and then forget she'd been thinking about it.


• Jack would charm someone into giving it to him, and probably, in the end, give it away to someone else. He's not possessive; he loves sharing.


• Owen would secretly want it, but wouldn't admit it: he would make fun of it and pretend he didn't want it. Then he would secretly buy it online later.¹


• Myfanwy would eat it, with or without barbecue sauce.


• Rhys would buy it for Gwen.


• The Doctor would have one just like it in the TARDIS already.
