Okay, this is a long shot, but I know we've got all kinds of magic and tech here that I don't know all the capabilities of, so here goes:

Does anybody have, or know of, something that can like...turn memories into photographs? We never really had cameras around when I was little and I guess I'm just. Being maudlin about a few things.

[aka she misses the twins when they were stupid babies]

[Private to Arthas.]

I know things are different. But I wanted to say thank you, for looking out for me.

[Private to Cassel]

Still think I should give him the squid hat?

[Private to Alex

Were you really into the Space Race too?

[Private separately to Babs and Charles]

[With a warm smile]

Thanks for helping me out.

[Private to Tosh]

Would you teach me how to program?

[Private to Touko]

You were a really cute kid.

[Spam for Erik]

[She gives him a little time to himself, after the flood, but there are some things she needs to say. She's not dressed for effect this time, just in jeans and a soft, light sweater despite the summery barge atmosphere.]

[Spam for Jesse]

[She's used to coming in and out of Lua's room whenever she feels like it. She knows it's early, but there's a comfort to being here, for her, simply existing in a space she shares with someone she trusts. She didn't expect to to see Jesse making breakfast, but she puts it together pretty quickly. She leans against the little table, arms crossed, not smiling even though she wants to, a little.]

Well. So. You and Lua, huhn?

[Private to Lua, later]

Hey, are you free? Nothing to worry about, just checking in.

[Because if not she can check in...later later.]

That guy is nuts. Don't give him anything.

Unless you can, you know, work some Anya magic and make him like you.

[She steeples her fingers ~~like a supervillain~~.]

He'd be a tough crab to crack, I think. Perhaps the hat shall be my opening volley.

He probably won't try to stab you for a hat, right?

Probably. I could always get it delivered by lassiebot or something.

Or send somebody you don't like to deliver it.

The people I don't like that will do me favors are also in the magic queue. I'm not compromising my progress with them for him.

...you think I could dare Arthas into doing it?

[Probably not, but...]

I think Arthas is the kind of guy who would use your skull for a bowl if you fucked with him.

Buuut you probably could.

We talked when we were little. I haven't determined how much leverage I can get out of it yet.

[You are behind the curtain, Cassel. It's you.]

Probably less than out of most people. He's been here forever.

You could probably use what you got on me if you wanted, though. It was pretty telling. Although I don't do the skull bowl thing.

We'll never get to do a proper evil toast. My heart bleeds.

Hope endures. I will never give up on my dream of our multinational crime syndicate.

Hey, by the way. I liked A Human Being Died That Night. I mean, all of them. But that one especially. So thanks.

I'm holding out for interplanetary, at least.

[Is she kidding? Probably not.]

You're welcome. It's...sort of unique. But I'll see what else I can find in that vein.

That's what I like about you. You're ambitious.

If you do, let me know. Everybody else's suggestions kind of sucked, instead of Ivy's.

I come by it honestly.

[So, so dry. But pleased, in any case.]

By the way - totally incidentally - I know you were around during the Tosh debacle. How do you feel about her these days?

Totally incidentally, huh.

[He does pause to seriously think about it, though.]

I - really have no idea. I haven't thought about it. I haven't ever really thought about her. She was just - one other Barge catastrophe.

She hurt Chris, but the last person I held a grudge against for hurting Chris, it didn't turn out well for either of us. So I guess neutral? Why?

Incidentally, I said, gosh.

[But she's grinning just a bit.]

She wants to learn to knit too. It's no trouble to teach you separately if it's a problem, but if not...

Oh, that.

I mean, it's fine, I'm not gonna stab her with a knitting needle.

I'm not worried about her, you dolt, I'm worried about you. I was in superzero when that stuff went down, I know it was bad for some people.

Edited 2013-08-16 02:43 (UTC)

Oh.

I was holed up in James and Vesper's rooms so I wouldn't throw myself overboard after my brother. So I don't take it all that personally. I'll be fine.

[He'll be totally fine. Really.]

[She gives him a dubious look.]

Look, it's better than me sitting in my room on my own, okay? I'm trying to be 50% less of an asshole than usual. Gimme a break.

[She softens.]

Okay. Just - I can always split the lessons if you need to pass on hanging out with her, okay? We'd still have them, I wouldn't be leaving you alone to mope either way.

Nah, it's fine. It's easier to fake progress with people who can't read you like a book, so I'm fine with it. I don't really know anything about her, so. You know. Why not.

[She accepts this with a nod.]

She's...sweet, at the moment. Mostly because she hates herself, but. I don't think she wants to bother anyone.

So you've been trying to figure her out.
