[ dean doesn't look happy when the feed turns on. unlike before, that hint of smugness isn't present either, as it's all down to business seriousness today. he looks tired, a little ruffled you could say-- like someone who hasn't really seen any rest.

and it holds true enough, too. there's no time for resting when you're searching, worrying. ]

There isn't a day on this ship when somebody ain't missing, is there? [ despite the conversational words, his voice lacks anything inviting. he has his favorite gun in his hands, is reloading it with a new magazine, and tossing it into a small bag filled with a few things.

looks like he's going somewhere, and it won't be just a quick trip either. ]

If anyone sees Jo Harvelle, keep her safe and lem'me know. Starting to look like she's been missin' for a few days now… [ he cocks the gun experimentally before flipping the safety back on and tucking it away. ] …which means it's time for a little search and rescue.

SEC, I guess this means I'm taken' a few days off from patrollin' and whatever.

[ a hint in his tone suggests that if that's a problem, keep it to yourself. ]

I'll be back before the jump with her.

[ or he'll try to be. if he isn't… well, that'll be the end of yet another winchester. ]

[Taylor knows full well when Dean won't be persuaded from something, so she won't try. At least he's given some warning this time.]

Come to SEC first.

This better not be some mandatory paperwork type of thing.

She isn't nearby.

[because the moment he saw this message, he went off to check. so that can only mean she's in the unexplored areas of the ship]

I figured. Guess this means it's time to dive into the deep end of the pool.

[ because nothing can ever be easy, can it? ]

Motherfucker.

[ he can get behind the sentiment. ]

Colorful. And spot on. Now there'd be a better name than Tranquility.

[cons]

Bad idea.

[ which isn't don't do it, but. she feels like she should say it. just. to say it.

sigh, Dean. sigh. ]

Someone found me when I got caught out there, but he had help. You planning on bringing anyone with you?

[faithlessly]

Bad idea, only idea. Don't exactly have other options.

[ sitting around and waiting isn't an option, after all. ]

I know there's someone else looking, so it'll be a joint effort. Kinda. [ even if they might not necessarily search the whole place together.

anyway. ]

How was it out there?

[tirade]

So you're running off. [ a small pause. ] By yourself.

[ it's more of a question that a statement, though it certainly sounds more like the latter, complete with a heap of judgement. don't be an idiot, bro. ]

[ he specializes in being an idiot though. but, but-- he shakes a hand. ]

Sure ain't even if I wanted to. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think not going alone's just gonna slow me down, but I'm not wastin' time fightin' people on that, not today.

Hang on... Jo's missing?

[ That sweet girl at the bar? He was wondering where she got off to. Of course, it occurs to him only after he's spoken that maybe, just maybe... he shouldn't have admitted knowing her in the first place. ]

[ dean doesn't look too happy about it, not when he'd told jo to stay away from the vampire. ]

What the hell do you know 'bout Jo?

Make sure you've got your space phone on you. [ a beat. ] You don't mind if Comms pays special attention to where you go, right? Safer that way, really.

[ they would do it anyway, but it's polite to ask. ]

[ hold on a minute. ]

You turning this into some kinda Big Brother experience? Safer maybe, but last thing I need is someone barging in just 'cause things might look like they're gettin' hairy.

I'm sure you've got plenty of offers, but if you're looking for an extra set of eyes.

Let me know.

never late!!! ] [ private | video

As much as I hate it, I think I'll take you up on that. [ she's good out there, he knows, has seen her in action. and not only that, but she's jo's friend, too, and knows how important that is. ]

I feel like I'm always draggin' you off into danger-- so remind me to make it up to you when we come back.

[ Quin's looking gruff - gruffer than ever, really, between the fresh stubble and the new scars - but the look he levels at the feed is far from hostile. If anything it's a little sympathetic - after all, he'd seen this with Skywalker barely a month ago. ]

You know which way you're heading out there?

[ video ]

[faithlessly]

[ soooomebody def looks a little rough around the edges. dean would ask, but alas, it sure ain't his business. ]

Whichever way Jo went. Or might have gone. [ so no, but he won't stop until he's either found her or searched every last inch of this ship. ]

[willpunchfaces]

You need help looking for her?

[faithlessly]

Depends. You know how to kick whatever uglies are on this ship in the ass, kid?

I hope you're not going to attempt to kill yourself again?

Cute. But I never tried to kill myself to begin with.

Jo's missin'? [ not that he likes her or anything ]

... Not rightly sure she'd appreciate the "rescue" bit of that.

[ yeah you better not!!

also. cue brow raise and wariness... still, he'll be civil. ]

That'll be the only upside of this situation then, seein' as she ain't here to hear that.

[Voice]

[realslimstrider]

Seems that way. People vanish, sometimes come back. Or go off on their own and surface with some crazy story. I'll keep an eye out. [There's a pause. As if he has to decide exactly what to say.]

And if you see any guy calling himself Dirk Strider, mind telling him his brothers are searching for him. [But he might not remember. Which sucks.]

[Voice]

[faithlessly]

You'd think they'd quit abductin' people for their joy-ride if all they're gonna do is make most of us wander the halls 'round here. [ he's tired of it, of people going missing.

cue a pause. ] Dirk Strider? When'd he go missing?

voice.

[throwsdown]

Be careful!

Kick ass if you gotta.

[Don't sweat it, Dean, Takeshi understands. He's worried you'll get hurt, but —

Sometimes, you gotta find the people you love.]

voice.

[faithlessly]

Will do, little man.

Don't do anything I wouldn't when I'm out there, y'hear?

[ or rather, just don't do anything dumb, pls. ]
