video, the third } time's a charm

[allbloodyhail]

[ spike turns to his ~companion~ as he regretfully pulls his shirt on. it’s a beautiful tropic day in the gardens and he was intending to enjoy it, but maybe he and pete should say their hello-again’s to the community at large. ]

You know what I could really go for right about now? Jammy dodgers. Been dreaming about them all month…

That's the first thing you're gonna say? [ peter glances over, undoing the leash on izzie's collar. ] - Actually, I'm not even a little surprised that it's food you want to tell the network about.

[ sigh. ] Nothing I dreamed about had anything to do with food. Could've used a few less nightmares, but now I just want to know what's up with my dog.

[ spike shoots peter a look before immediately stooping down to greet said dog, patting her head and pretending her dad didn’t just say a really rude thing!! ] Isabelle, darling, don’t listen to him, huh? [ though upon closer inspection… she looked a little more rotund than usual, maybe. grumpier, slower. he glanced back up. ]

What has your brother been feeding her? [ he asks sharply, hands over the lab’s ears so she couldn’t hear them talk about how fat she was. that was before he picked one ear up and spoke into it for dramatic effect. ] He gave you all the jammy dodgers, didn’t he?

[ izzie groaned, and spike stood up. it was a puzzle though, to be sure. ]

I'm not even sure Nathan knows what those are, Spike. Besides, he wouldn't share them even if he did. [ he shoots the camera a look, then stares a little longer before looking back at spike, leaving izzie to her unpleasant sounds for a moment. ]

You're sure that's all you dreamed about? Anything else? [ network, tell him he wasn't the only one please. ] Or are cookies really all you've got to say for yourself?

Are you sure that's appropriate for the network, Peter... [ yeah, he's just looking to get slapped at this point. ] Alright, alright. So I had nightmares too. Sometimes the biscuits sprang to life, with little angry-faces like and chased me around the ship.

[ he's definitely getting hit the second the feed goes off. ]

Go into a coma for a month, come back to an overweight dog.

[ SUCH A HARD LIFE. ]

[tumbleweeds]

Howly's rounder than he should be, too. Maybe they can exercise together; he hasn't had anyone but me to go running with for a while.

[allbloodyhail]

Watch your mouth. She'll hear you.

[tumbleweeds]

You called Howly fat.

[ironsider]

What the hell is a jammy dodger?

[askedtobe]

A cookie. I think. [ nudging Spike. tell him he's right. ]

Not that it actually sounds like one.

voice until she feels like it!

[ironsider]

Seriously?

I thought maybe it was a fast food chain. You know, the kind with artery stopping cheeseburgers.

[allbloodyhail]

A tea biscuit with jam in the middle bit. [ obviously. ]

voice.

[ironsider]

I like what me and the other guy came up with better.

[ This post is so confusing that Tauriel's not even sure where to start. Jammy dodgers, cookies...

She knows what neither of those things are. Food, she assumes, given the context, but she decides to do with that what she's done with everything she doesn't understand, which is push it aside. ]

That animal is the first I have seen in this strange world. [ Yeah, the whole idea of a spaceship is still in the not-understood category for her. ] It does not look well.

[ that's... alright, not the strangest reaction a newcomer could make about them being ridiculous. or about where they are in general. but Peter almost cracks up before his mind circles back on the comment. ]

She's a dog- [ he glances down at her for a second, izzie panting rather contently. ] What do you mean by 'not well'?

[ he needs a little more detail. ]

[woodlander]

Unfit. [ She's smiling a little now. That's a dog that needs some walking, Peter. ]

No animal should be enclosed like this. That one is lacking for exercise, I think.

video

[allbloodyhail]

Oy, you take that back! She's just let herself get away a little, that's all. [ so protective, many anger. ]

[woodlander]

[ Eyebrow lifting... ]

Perhaps she would fare better with exercise. There is space to roam in the gardens here.

You two are adorable.

And jammy dodgers are biscuits.

[askedtobe]

[ ... give him a second to process that comment. and then be smarmy about it. ]

What can I say, just a burden we have to bear.

video;

[onsilksheets]

And what a difficult burden it is. [ smarmy is fine. she can deal with that. ]

Spike is a friend of mine. He mentioned you to me before.

[allbloodyhail]

I know, right? We're both getting a little chubby and that's just fine.

...Oh, you meant me and Pete. [ terrible jokes, always. hello, bela. ]

[onsilksheets]

Cute. [She smiles.]

Isabelle is a nice name.

[overthought]

And here I thought that the nightmares were just a personal touch to the deep stasis.

( voice. )

[askedtobe]

Most of the time they aren't. As far as I know at least- not like these.

( voice. )

[overthought]

I doubt these are separate occurrences.

( voice. )

[allbloodyhail]

[ he's tempted to just let peter handle this - he really doesn't want to talk about the dreams. but he recognizes the voice. ]

Hey, Blue.

( voice. )

[overthought]

Hello Blondie, how are you?

[she actually perks up listening to spike's voice.]

Please tell me you missed the great stasis.
