Entry 8: Video

[Private to George, Peter, and Ariadne]

[For those of you playing at home, the picture of the red-haired man has reappeared on Angua's side-table. She, herself, looks pretty much completely mortified.]

Oh, gods. Please forget that happened, all right?

[Private to Buffy]

I hate this ship. Let's get drunk.

Forget what happened? Nothing happened. Nothing at all. It was all just a flood and everyone knows those aren't to count.

No.

[Non-flood!Angua is not as totally oblivious as flood!Angua, and looks very uncomfortable.]

Right. Exactly.

Exactly. Right.

Floods, eh?

Mad things.

Were you... was there anyone you...?

I...think it's perhaps best to just put the whole thing out of mind.

Yes, can we?

Because... [Private as she is, she's not sure why she's saying this, except that part of her feels like she really needs to. She frowns, squaring her shoulders.] ...There is someone back home, and I know he would forgive me, because he's like that, but I'm not sure I'd be able to forgive myself. If something had. Or were to. Well.

I do understand. And it's very good of you.

Possibly not.

[And now, a desperate subject change!] Well, anyway, did your inmate make it through all right? Quite a, er, character, that one.

Yes. Although I take it it isn't his favorite of holidays.

A...character?

He's certainly got a colorful past.

Mostly red, from what I hear.

Oh. Well. Yes.

We had a long chat about the principles of justice, he and I.

And how did he feel about them?

Quite personally, apparently.

That does seem to be how he takes most things.

That was sort of the impression I had. Which I can't help but find strange, given his... previous line of work.

Do you mean the: being a detective, or the: horribly murdering people?

I was thinking mostly the latter.

People can do terrible things for the "right" reasons.

And yet they're still terrible things.

Oh, yes: certainly. That's what makes it all the more sad.

Y...es. [No, but she doesn't want to get into it with him.] Well, it's good that you can be on his side.

I do hope that it does him good. It's difficult to tell at times.

Have you been working with him long?

Only since November. But I just feel that he's so close at times, and then: he sabotages himself.

To be fair, that might be a sign that he is close. But why do you think he is?

Mostly because he seems to want to be, which I feel is the most important part. It's the one thing which can't be taught.

[Fair enough, Crabtree.] Yes, that's true enough... Do you think he's worked out how to not horribly murder people yet?

I would definitely say he's worked out how. And I sincerely hope he's worked out why.

Well, I certainly hope so, too.

... Okay.

Pub, nowish.

Yes, please, thank you.

[Buffy may or may not be slurring a little now. She isn't very drunk yet, just, uh, on her way.]

You know, I'm not normally huge with the alcohol but these girly drinks are seriously awesome.

[And Angua's had a few more, because a few years of serious coppering tends to raise the tolerance for some things at the same rate as it lowers it for others.]

I normally just stick with beer... we all do, except the trolls and them. [She considers the drink in front of her narrowly.] But it's okay... as long as it doesn't have an umbrella in. Or... little pieces of fruit. That's where you get into trouble.

Trolls? [She almost chokes on that last sip, but keeps it together.] Trolls drink girly drinks.

Now I've heard everything.

And.. Umbrellas and fruit are totally valid girly drink additions.

What? No. No. Trolls drink lava. Sometimes there's little stone umbrellas in, I think.

Umbrellas are... dangerous. Umbrellas mean... hangover. Or doing stupid things. Like floods. [She groans and covers her eyes with one hand.]
