Challenge: 340 - Spiders
Notes: A new addition to the Torchwood team and Jack's veto powers are tested

'Who's afraid of the big spider mouse? '

'Hey, they're creepy, okay! Harmless, but creepy.'

'I think they're cute,' said Tosh.  

'Me too,' agreed Gwen.

'And clever,' added Ianto. 'This one managed to escape the cage twice,' as it curled up in his hand. 'His name's Colin.'

'No. No one's keeping any of them! You want a pet, find  some other vermin. Lord knows this place has enough. Normal Earth vermin.'

'Come on, Jack. Would you say no to that face?' pleaded Gwen.

He wasn't sure if she was referring to Ianto or Colin, but suspected he'd lost this battle.

Aw, Jack, let Ianto keep his little pet! It's creepy, but cute.

I wish I had a Colin. Not sure why Jack still thinks they're creepy. Just for that Colin may become  a permanent fixture, lol.

" He wasn't sure if she was referring to Ianto or Colin "

I snorted coffee at this - thank you :)

He he, and my work here is done!

I suspect Gwen meant Colin but he'll find it harder to say no to Ianto.

It's the legs. Excess legs and scuttling are always gonna be creepy. Give me an ordinary mouse, or a rat, and I'm fine. Ditto snakes, lizards, beetles. 6 legs is my limit, 8 is just too many and I have no idea why!

Oh dear. Poor Jack!

My boyfriend wanted to get a tarantula once. I told him he'd need to find a new girlfriend as well. He got a chinchilla instead :-)
