[ The feed is shaky at best when it starts up, the video going in and out for a few seconds before it goes black entirely. ]

Is this thing even working am I-- [ a few seconds of complete silence ] -- really like to know if this is even on. Do they actually think this is user-friendly? Is anything around here?

[ Another few seconds, the sound of footsteps and Angel finally gets the video to turn on just as he tries to shove his way through a door, scowling down at the camera. He is one unhappy vampire, and he doesn't have a whole hell of a lot to say.... okay, maybe that's a lie. ]

You know, if the Senior Partners are trying to send a message with this, I might need a translator this time around because i'm just a little lost. In more ways than one. Next time you want to tell me something? Try using your words, not your spaceship.

[ Disconn-- Nope, wrong button. After a few more seconds of grumbling, Angel finally disconnects, disappearing from sight. ]

I'm afraid that lawyers have nothing to do with you being here, sweetie.

permavid & text.

[she's cradling a stuffed bunny rabbit in one arm, typing with her free hand.]

it is not too hard to use
once someone explains it

[slipperysoul]

You'd be surprised by how far their jurisdiction reaches.

permavid!

[slipperysoul]

[ ...well, huh. ]

But why does it need to have a screen?

[culver]

like a phone i think
from the future

[slipperysoul]

You know, eventually people are going to forget how to talk face to face.

[onsilksheets]

Yeah, I would be surprised. Considering the fact that we're in space.

[culver]

i do not think so

[slipperysoul]

So you like the phones?

[slipperysoul]

You don't know the Senior Partners.

Come on, big guy. Not gonna hit it, see if that helps?

[ she mocks because she loves. ]

[culver]

[a little shrug]

they are useful

[slipperysoul]

[ he's so rolling his eyes before he can think about it. ]

If I thought it'd actually help - [ cue surprise in 3.. 2.. ] Faith?

[slipperysoul]

Do you like space?

visual

[stacked]

Expecting somebody else? Think I might be hurt.

...you seen anybody else, yet? [ because she'd like to be selfish and just not mention them, but she's trying this whole maturity gig and angel knows her well enough to give her some one on one attention before running the fuck off to snatch up cordy and wes. ]

[culver]

it is not bad

[onsilksheets]

You're right, I don't. Maybe you can enlighten me a little more?

visual

[slipperysoul]

I wasn't expecting anyone. [ but that means there's other people here, which is... interesting. not exactly good news, but interesting. and he'll get to everyone else eventually, because they're not here and faith is.

and faith is, well, faith. ] How long's it been?

[slipperysoul]

But it's not good?

[culver]

[another noncommittal shrug. her wings flick, agitated.]

depends on the day

[slipperysoul]

Or maybe we can save the enlightenment for another time when i'm trying to not get lost.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Quite. The senior partners of what, precisely?

You must've motored, getting out of the pods. Gotta be more patient, Angel. Slow down some. [ her grin allows that coming from her, that advice is patently ridiculous. seeing angel again is a little like getting a spark off a really good joint from one of the older kids back in the neighborhood, back before she was a slayer. space is already pretty decent, sherlock and edgeworth's moment of bitch aside-- now she's got angel, and she's cool staying here for the next foreseeable ever until she gets bored. ] Life's gonna pass you by, you keep moving so fast.

...Dude, is that a question. Last time I saw you, you were pushing for the goodbye hug after our little brain tour. Been here-- nearly three months now. [ she holds up her wrist, flashing the 007 tattoo. ] But Wes has got a year on me. Not big on details in case of some scifi crap about changing the future, but that's Wes for you.

[ also he'd rather not tell faith he dies and send her spinning off into bad choice land, but she doesn't know that. ]

[voice]

[slipperysoul]

A law firm.

[slipperysoul]

[ at least that's something. ]

Kinda true wherever you go.
