[Jeryline has still been gone a while, but when she turns on her camera the top of her cat's ears are in the picture where it's sitting in her lap and she's looking annoyed.]

I don't even wanna know what I missed. [A beat] No, I'm lyin'. I do wanna know. But it's taken me a while to come back, but as it turns out I'm sorta wanted in New Mexico. [And she had more than cops coming after her.]

Lookin' back on the network, it doesn't look like I was gone too long. Long enough for the Barge to go through a karaoke universe? Get a rock opera spell cast on it? Whatever the actual source of the floods are, I don't fuckin' know.

[Private to Doyle, Jesse, and Dean]

Y'all still on board or is my gift delivery gonna be a hell of a lot more complicated?

My favorite is Lawrence of Arabia.

[Let's not discuss how he actually kind of looks and talks a little like Peter O'Toole.]

You're welcome, I think it looks nice on you.

There is still Faith, she's another Slayer. She runs the bar, she's a friend. [ That last bit sounds a bit unsure, he's been avoiding a lot of his friends now that news is out that he's an alcoholic. He doesn't really want to face Faith, knowing how she feels about drunks.] She's no Buffy but she can be o' help.

And shit man, I'd be proud o' that one if I was you. Bein' the first woman to hold such power means whoever chooses thought pretty damn high o' you. And the stars, you did. Pretty, if not for their meanin'.

[She laughs a little.] Oh my god, I can see it. I can.

[Throat clear!] Uncle Willie made me watch All Quiet on the Western Front with him. Would you be okay with tryin' that one if I got my hands on it?

I don't know if it's a long term fate or just somethin' that comes up when those stars line up, though. I don't know if I'd still be cleanin' ovens or travellin' the world. It's somethin' I woulda taken on, I think, but I wish a lot less killin' had been tied up in it.

[She reflexively squeezes that hand shut, before she leans forward and puts her chin on her hands.]

I guess I shouldn't get onto you for thinkin' heavy when I do it too, sometimes. [A slight quirk of her mouth, and a can't of her head. She's had a whole lot on her mind, even more than this.]

...Wait, how are there two Slayers if there's supposed to be one? Is she one that died before another one?

Of course. [He's seen it before, but he's certainly not going to protest seeing it again.]

From what I understand Buffy died but was revived a minute or two later, but the revival didn't count since she was dead. This made another Slayer awaken. Angel explained it once but I'd had a few shots that night so some of the details are a touch sketchy. These books [ He motioned to the Watchers Guides.] Are all written by the Watchers of former slayers, boring as shit but it's something never mentioned that Ive found yet. Two slayers at once.

It's understandable. [ he sat the map down on the table and leaned back a bit crossing his arms.] destiny never really leaves you with a lot o' choices but I think when the time comes you'll know what to do.

[ He looked back over to her then thoughtful a moment.] Maybe we should just agree to tell each other them dark thoughts we hide rather then the rest o' the people on this boat. I'd surely not judge you for any thoughts.

Demons where I'm from promise you things if you can do somethin' for them. A big part of doin' this is being able to say no, because they'll offer you something you really want back. Now, usually they're lying; once they have your soul, it doesn't matter if they deliver or not. You won't care and your body get corrupted by some low-level jackass.

[She looks a little distant for the moment.]

When I took the deal here, I was pretty sure it wasn't the same kinda deal. We don't have any kinda guarantee what kind of man the Admiral actually is.

I always figure I can back out at the last minute. You guys can graduate yourselves if your close enough, and my plan B... [She looks disappointed again, this time in herself. It's half cowardly, but also the best idea she has for making sure the demons don't get the key because she's just one woman.] ...my plan B is to get someone else to take the key back to their universe, so there's no chance of the demons ever gatherin' up the keys.

Then I will get my hands on it, and I'll watch it again without the excitable commentary happenin' in the background.

Let me know when you do.

Dean's mentioned demons like that before. My world doesn't have one's like that, ours tend to be more just monsters that pray on humans but are their own creatures a lot have their own realms and such too, I mean what it sounds like your demons are is more a telepathic linked type, once the soul's bought you become their slave kind of deal. Which granted vampires in my world lose their souls and a lot of demons don't have a soul to start with. [ he looked thoughtful a moment.] I wonder if the Soul has a connection to it all.

I can agree there, none seem to know but from what I understand there have been people to leave and come back and everything seemed kosher, so I'd not worry too much I think he's a creature of his word. granted I also think he's a higher power then some monster.

Love. [ he spoke a bit more firmly.] The demons wont get your key, you wont let them. I can tell your no push over. Keep a little faith, alright? You'll be able to do this.

It could. [She admits.] See, that's part of why I first thought it would be a good idea. I'd be savin' souls, right? But I don't know what the highest of the high ranking demons are like or what the six other keys can do. So I gotta be careful.

But yeah, I'm not plannin' on screwin' up. Now that I'm doin' it, I can't let myself screw up.

[She gets to her feet and shifts the hem of her jacket.] I gotta go at least make sure one person gets their gift while it's still good, but I'll see you 'round?

Hey darlin'. Welcome back. [Have a sincere grin, Jeryline. He's... kind of legitimately excited to have you back. Even if you are looking annoyed.]

You ever get stuck in NM again, just remember to take the 485 North if you can - don't go South, they've got extra security the further you go. In my world, anyway. [Don't... ...ask...]

I'm around, but you shouldn't have.

I can at least tell you that throwin' salt in the devil's eyes works. But I didn't have a chance to try much else with it. Cleo straight up hates demons, though. She's a badass little warnin' system.

[She still doesn't have her own car, but she's getting better at car-jacking.] I'll remember that.

When was the last time you was in LA?

One, the last flood was awesome, don't hate.

Two... seriously? You brought me something?

Attagirl. [Dean grins, amused and proud by proxy, although he's not exactly pleased to hear she had to tangle with one on her own. Oh well. Practice makes perfect and all that.]

I uh. Actually not that... long ago... I've been here a year, but back home it'll have been about. Four months?

Hey now, you gotta admit? When people be cast under some sort of magical whatsit that shit's pretty weird.

An-y-way. So I didn't get to be in Albuquerque for more than a few hours. But I did get you some tacos from LA. And I got them right before I came here so they're still warm so I need to know where your room's at.

Demon Knights been workin' it for 2000 years now. I can't be the first woman for the job and then dick it up.

Okay, it's just a little present anyway. Something you mighta picked up in LA anyway. When you gonna be in your room?

Seriously? [What tacos fuck the flood] 7-6. I'll put you on the list right now.

[And she doesn't even say good-bye. She rushes right up there because maybe These tacos will make it to him warm. The last ones she ended up eating herself because she got caught in a car chase and it seemed like a bad time to come back to the Barge.

She knocks on the door with her bag hand, two glass bottles of soda in the other, the type with real sugar and metal caps you can buy in some Mexican restaurants.]

[Luckily, he does get her on the list in time, because weird and unpleasant things sometimes happen to people who charge at the door of 7-6 without an invite. Still, he wasn't expecting it to be that fast, and he looks pleasantly surprised when he unlocks the door.] Hey. Come on in.

[Jesse's cabin has changed slightly since he got back: the front is still something between a garage and a workroom, plus the big-screen TV and speakers at the back, but the bed is gone and there's a staircase tucked into the back instead. The walls look half-painted, newspaper still protecting the trim and floors near the edges.]

You won't. [This as though it's a foregone conclusion, no doubt in him.]

Is it an oil change? 'Cause paid greasemonkeys always dick it up.

I'll be around later this afternoon. It hold that long?

[She comes in, looking around with a touch of confusion.] Somehow I didn't expect you to have a workshop. What're you buildin'?

[And then comes the dance of looking for a place to set the food down. Which is a very complicated one, as it requires looking at places and gauging whether or not they're forbidden.]

Nah, it won't spoil or nothin'. I live right by Doyle if you wanna drop by whenever and pick it up.

[He shrugs a little sheepishly. He's never really sure what people expect of him, these days, but it always seems to be whatever he isn't.] Just some stuff. If you need anything I can give it a try...

[There is a clear space on the workbench, though, and a side table towards the back. Otherwise, the furnishings are fairly sparse.]

Edited 2013-03-17 09:47 (UTC)

I'll let you know. There's actually somethin' I could use a decoy of if you ever got the time and the resources.

[She likes the idea now that she's thought of it. A few fake keys would make things very difficult.]
