I have apparently formed some opinions on the showers at Torchwood.
They exist, for a start. Which I don't think we technically have evidence for.
In my head there's a locker room, all ancient wood of the sort very reminiscent of school, gone dark and vaguely fossilised and several coats of varnish past new. There are tiles, dark green and darker red, those standard size squares you get, but also a border with a raised pattern on. There's tiles missing from the border, mostly near the door but also near the bullet hole. They'd have to custom order new ones, and they've always got higher priorities.
The showers themselves are set up for at least a dozen people at once, and have that elaborate victorian era plumbing where they know you're going to see all the pipes so they might as well make them interesting to look at. The shower heads don't all match any more. Some people like the original ones best, some the newer sort.
The showers are theoretically all unisex. Because it never occured to the original designers that there would be women in there.
Unfortunately for porn purposes, there's room for all kinds of everything on that many floors, so they just have alternating floors designated girls and guys.
The lockers don't have names on. People pick a spare one and use it.
Random lockers may contain everything from shower gel gone all chemistry experiment to crumbly crystals that glow slightly and would be Very Worrying if and when anyone happened to find them again to slightly sad sets of spare clothes, some of which have name tags in the back. Most don't.
Technically it should all get archived when the employee who owns it does. But there's always something more urgent to do. Besides which, stored in Torchwood is archived, in a sense. So that's alright.
Cleaning the showers is one of Ianto's jobs. As is cleaning the toilets. This make him so glad he went to university. Because obviously his education is being used to the fullest here.
There are cameras everywhere.
You don't even need a special code to watch them. Because security is more important.
Owen is occasionally reminded that it is not in fact his job.
