[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?

[ And a the half demon does like shiny gift bags. One never knows whats in them. He looked at her with a bit of a smile as he shrugged a bit.] Come on in, don't worry 'bout steppin' on nothin' it's fine. I'm reorganizin' a bit. And thanks love, you didn't have to get me anything but I gotta admit I'm happy to know you though o' me.

[ He moved over to the chair motioning for her to come on over and have a seat as he started closing the demon books to try and make more room.]

Somethin' like that, I'm not workin' anymore so I've kinda decicated my time to learnin' more about the things I aim to take down and such.

So you're actually gonna start fightin' 'em, huh? [She sounds approving, but she does wonder if she should. After all, what if he had to deal with someone close to him? Someone that he loved?

She pushes that thought out of her head. She's still not dealt with everything from that night in wormwood, not really.]

That's my LA, by the way. Almost ''97. So I wanted to see if you noticed any major differences.

Technically I already was, I just sucked at it. I worked with a vampire back in LA savin' the helpess from demons and the like. I'm not sure I can go back home so I'm puttin' thought into Dean's world which sounds a lot like me own so, I wanna be of real use.

[ Looking over the map he smiled a bit at the map as he opened it up He looked over the map and nodded.] Looks to be exactly how I remember it. That was just two years ago for me, It was late november 99 before I came here.

[ Aka, when he died. Zeroing out a small space on the map he pointed to it looking to her. A very ghetto neighborhood.] That's where I used to live love.

[ that map was totally going on the wall somewhere. Who needs girly posters when you have bad art and pictures of Ireland? Now he could have a map of LA on his wall too.]

[She leans to look.] I bet the walks home were a riot. [She's not as familiar with LA, but she knows where that is.]

Think you're close to getting that ticket out of here? [She tries to not sound a touch disappointed at the idea; keeping connections has gotten harder and harder. Always moving, never looking back, severing ties with most people but her cat.

But she really knows better.] At least you'll still be kickin' but shit, boy. You'll have to box up a lotta stuff. Gonna go to LA there, you think?

When I first moved there, yeah. Everyone loved fuckin' 'round with the pale guy with the accent I do confess, but after a few months it got easier. [ he got mixed into the right ~~wrong~~ circles and started building his network and reputation.]

Actually [ He frowned a bit at that as he looked over the map a bit more then to her.] I think I was, but I'm messin' it all up again. It's my specialty, destoryin' things when they get good. You'll not be rid o' me just yet. 'Sides once I graduate I gotta play the system too, I got a few things I need taken care of before I can leave this hell hole for good.

Yeah, I think I own more now then I ever have in my whole life. I don't know if I'll box it all or do like Wanda and pawn half of it off. This [ The map.] and that. [ He pointed to the large picture of the irish countryside over his couch Aya gave him.] are definitely goin' with me.

I don't know where I'll go. I don't think LA'd be wise in case my old friends exist in Deans world. I don't want to mess up anyone's lives, you can understand that right?

[A grin creeps onto her face.] I'd find one of the magic guys on the ship and ask them to make you a big bag that you could just carry all your shit in.

Or use right now.

[She looks a little to the side when he mentions his friends.] Yeah. I get that. All my friends died 'cause fate was choosin' a victor. I think that part is bullshit. Coulda found a better way to work things out.

But yeah, makes me pretty nervous about hangin' with people, anymore.

Actually plannin' to ask Steph if she can get the Admiral to make this more of an actual room, you know so the bed's not right against the wall and what not. The whole tiny studio sounded great when I moved in, I wasn't really thinkin' long term. [ He wasn't expecting to live long term then. He had been depressed and recently divorced. So all he had wanted was something to keep him off the streets.]

I'll give it some thought.

If the lady Slayer was still around I'd tell you to talk to her, she knows all 'bout that. In our world one womans born every generation to fight demons and vampires. Pretty much a given if you know the slayer your probally gonna get killed. She's my former boss' exgirlfriend. Don't mention her at all to Dean though, words o' wisdom. Granted I think the whole destiny thing is bullshit meself.

You shouldn't be darlin', people need people. Its how the world works. Can't be aimin' to be lonely your whole life are you? [ He finally noticed something that he might have noticed sooner had he been paying more attention.] Love the hair by the way.

Thank you. [She tossles a hand through it. It's been trouble to take care of, but as if keeping up with dyeing it wasn't? Changing her appearance radically kept the cops off her trail, anyway.]

I'm the first Demon Knight that's a woman. All the other ones before me have been men. I'd ask her about it if she was around, but- [she shrugs] I don't get outa the fate thing so easily.

I showed you my hand, right?

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'.

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?

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.

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?
