[Annoyed doesn't even begin to describe how he feels about this whole situation.]

Listen closely because I'm only going to say this once. I'm not going there to play your games. I'm going there to do what I do back home; help the hopeless and save lost souls.

[Looks up at something his mun says. He looks caught off guard at first and then frowns, sighing.]

Don't. You know how much it's going to mean to me to see her there, but you also know nothing is ever that simple for us. Trouble always finds us whenever we're in the same place as each other.

Guess that means you kept up with the whole brooding thing, huh? [A small smirk on this girl's lips at that.]

[bringsbadnews]

I've been told it's kind of my thing. [Partially grins.] My mun said you're there too?

[hungryanhorny]

Hey, someone's gotta keep an eye on B; no telling what she's gonna get up to when we're not around.

[bringsbadnews]

I'll leave that to you. [Naturally he'll be keeping tabs on her, he'll just try and do it more discretely.] Are you a Warden there?

[slayage]

Doesn't trouble always find us as a rule, anyway? Together- Same place or not?

[She knows what you mean. Indulge her sob.]

[bringsbadnews]

It does. We could be in the middle of nowhere and a portal full of trouble would suddenly open up.

[Indulges. He doesn't want to get into the issue and he's grateful he's been in this place before and knows she's alive. Otherwise everything he says would be coming out as a mess.]

[slayage]

See? We're pros at the trouble thing. I know this because that actually sounded realistic.

[... Yes she's nervous about this. But it doesn't stop her wanting him there anyway.]

You'll fit right in. The Barge is a lot like hellmouth peak-season, but with more sci-fi and usually less monster-movie. ...Usually.

[bigbad]

Just don't get too happy. She doesn't need to deal with your Jekyll/Hyde bollocks.

[bringsbadnews]

[Narrows his eyes.] I don't need you to tell me that.

[bigbad]

I know. But I'm oh-so-helpfully reminding you anyway. No need to thank me.

[cordials]

You done talking to the wall there, big guy?

[bringsbadnews]

Almost. Maybe you can try for me, you've always been better at the whole "interpersonal communication" thing.

[cordials]

Sorry, my interpersonal skills don't really work on dogs, aliens, and, oh yeah - mun-people. It's like they don't get me, or something.

[allthatmatters]

Pretty sure trouble always finds you anyway. [It's said lightly, but there's concern in her eyes.]

Omg a Kate. They exist...

[bringsbadnews]

There's no escaping it for me, even in the middle of space. [Catches the concern in her eyes.] I'll be okay.

At least one! :3

[allthatmatters]

Zombie aliens. I'd put money on it. [This is her sceptical face.] And - does that mean okay, or "I'm going to repress the fuck out of my feelings until I snap"? [Not that she has. Experience. In that area.]

[retrieverchef]

Okay, now I'm extra glad my mun hasn't gotten to sending me to the Barge. Dealing with you 24/7 is not something I'm interested in.

[bringsbadnews]

Lindsey? [Eyes him for a moment and takes in his scent.] No, you're not. Who are you?

[retrieverchef]

I'm his brother. And would you leave Linds the hell alone? What I've heard this past year is just ridiculous.

[unweeping_willow]

[See Willow glance; see Willow duck. See willow hesitate as she watches puppy around the corner.

All.

The.

Guilt.]

[bringsbadnews]

Willow? [Not sure who it is at first since he only catches a glimpse of her.]

[unweeping_willow]

...Hi.

Puppy.

[fivebyfives]

[Excuse the uncharacteristic look of childlike excitement as the sight of him.]

[There's a crooked sort of grin playing on her lips because she wasn't sure that he was around this place.] Angel!

[He sounds...off. Perhaps a little distant and wrapped in his thoughts, but that's nothing new. As long as he isn't acting like Giles she can put up with his usual amount of weirdness.]

[bringsbadnews]

Faith, hey. [Angel tucks his brooding thoughts away for the time being. It's good to see Faith again, especially when there's no glass pane separating the two of them.]

You're in a good mood. [Notes the excitement in her eyes, a stark contrast to some of the other reactions he's seen in this place.]

[fivebyfives]

[There hasn't been any glass for a long while. At least not for her.]

Yeah, well...[She trails off, feeling a bit idiotic for her outburst. But it's good to see her vampire BFF.]

It's good to see you here.
