beccaelizabethToday's plot bunny is an xover between Torchwood and Pathfinder
because there is absolutely nothing to stop me saying the Rift sends people from Cardiff to Golarion
so obviously Ianto could end up there.
... Golarion doesn't work like the basic laws of physics or magic in TW, but that means that bringing any character back to life is just a question of money.
A stupendous amount of money, given they'd need True Resurrection, due to leaving their bodies on another planet and in one case in a nuclear meltdown.
But that just means Ianto, who gets there first, would have to work as an Adventurer, that being the only way to get Stupendous levels of wealth.
And it would take a while to achieve.
So Ianto, older, brings back Owen, after Toshiko and Lisa, and gets to introduce him to Golarion and all the things he's been getting up to there.
Which clearly includes being a Venture Captain of the Pathfinders, because when you find yourself on another planet you want to figure out how to get back, and Pathfinders are the ones who find all the weird.
The only problem with this bunny is Jack is literally the only person in creation who could never be retrieved this way.
It would take a Miracle to get him there...
If I could steer my attention life would be ever so very different.
There's nothing to stop this bunny, and I do like setting Ianto up with Lisa the knight in shining armor, Torchwood acquisitions team.
... there's nothing to stop them calling their venture company Torchwood. Torchwood Absalom?
But it needs a plot. A proper, use both canons to illuminate each other, show us who these characters are, and deal with actual Bad Things, plot.
I could pick an adventure path but they arent going to be optimised for this.
I shall go distract me in a slightly different way...
