I'm going out for drinks and maybe some dancing tonight if anyone wants to join. I'll be at The Blue Light at seven tonight.

Also, don't guess anyone's seen Faith around, have you?


[ FILTERED TO DEAN WINCHESTER ]
Hey, we've gotta talk. Police stuff so use a filter here or meet me and we'll have a beer and chat tonight.

[ FILTERED TO CHARLIE MCGEE ]
Hey Charlie. Finished carving out the tree trunk. Anytime you wanna come by the Center to take some measurements, I'm good with that. I'll be there 'till about six-thirty tonight.

[ FILTERED TO PIGLET ]
Piglet, got a tree carved out for you. Charlie's gonna make some bedding and pillows for the furniture, maybe some curtains. Might wanna talk to her about what colors you want.

Shit. Alright, lets just do it over beer tonight. I'll take notes.

[And Dean shows up after work at the Blue Light. He sits down next to Derek and orders a beer instead of his customary whiskey. It's a concession to the fact that this is a work meeting.]

So how screwed are we?

[Derek of course already has a beer, his second one of the night. He greets Dean with a smile and a handshake, but sobers once Dean has his own beer and asks how screwed they are.]

Well, we know who kidnapped Cain Hargreaves now. It's just a matter of what you wanna do about it. Seems Hargreaves recognized this guys voice over the network this past week. He isn't worried about pressing charges. But he, along with the rest of us, don't want it to happen again.

Sometimes it's good to just let these guys know that we know. Thwarts the possibility that it might happen again. But I don't know. You might wanna chat this guy up. Get a feeling for what state of mind he's in.

[coyote_walking]

Have fun.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

I intend to, Princess. Been awhile since I went out just for a good time. I'm ready for it.

[coyote_walking]

Good for you!

[Buffy is going to slide up to the bar next to Derek and order a water with lemon.]

Not lately. She doing the missing thing? Faith, I mean.

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Yeah, I haven't seen her in awhile. Starting to get worried even though I know she can take care of herself.

[He eyes her drink order briefly before looking to her questioningly.]

Playing hard tonight, huh? Or hardly playing?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Sometimes I forget to have a good time here. All the curses and me worrying about everybody I know. Need to start remembering to take a break and have some me time doing things I like to do, you know?

[coyote_walking]

Exactly.

I'm glad you're getting out and doing things you like.

[whattingawhat]

Just planning on hitting the Underground later. Safer if I'm on water.

[video: [filtered to derek and piglet if piglet wants to join in]

[charring]

Awesome. I'll be by sometime after five. Piglet should come with me to the store to pick out fabric and stuffing. If he's interested, I mean.

[Action]

[dudeimbatman]

Talking to him would be a good start. Might put some officers on to watch him.

[He takes a sip of his beer. It's a good thing really, particularly that Cain doesn't want to press charges. There isn't a lot they can do in this place in the way of punishment.]

[Action]

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[It is kind of s double-edged sword with the police force here in the City. It was nice to have around but at the same time, there wasn't a whole lot they could do aside from play good to the evil. They just didn't have a whole lot of power here.

Derek picks up his device and sends Dean a file.] [ FILE DOWNLOAD ]

Alright. So this is the post with the voice that Hargreaves recognized. I've never met this guy before. Have you?

[video: [filtered to derek and piglet if piglet wants to join in]

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

After five sounds good. I have scale measurements of furniture done and some of the pieces ready to go so I think there are enough measurements for everything. You might have to check out the windows depending on the kind of curtains you're planning.

[He nods his understanding. He remembers those nights back home when he was on call. It was a difficult balance unless you were truly on vacation, knowing how much to drink just in case. No one wanted to put life on hold just because they were on call twenty-four / seven.

Holding up his beer to toast her even though she has water.]

Well here's to your safety. What kind of monsters you usually find down there?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Thanks, Mercy. You should do some of that too, not necessarily this but do things you like and give yourself some you time.

[video: [filtered to derek and piglet if piglet wants to join in]

[charring]

Okay! [She might sound excited by this, Derek.] This is too cool. I'll make sure to talk to Piglet, get his ideas and work with him on this.

[coyote_walking]

Been doing lots of it. Cleaning, baking, working on cars - or rather car and beginning stages of motorcycle.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Alright and let me know if you need anything to get done what you need done. Like I said, I don't know much about sewing or crafts so I'm not sure how helpful I can be. But the offer stands.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Still gonna do that for me? I was wondering with you quitting the garage. Thought I'd give you some time before I asked though, with everything that's been going on. Didn't wanna be too pushy.

Action

[whattingawhat]

[She clinks her glass against his in a toast.]

Lots of gooey ones? I've never run into any like the ones down there. There's some vamps like the ones back home but more often ones I don't know.

[Action]

[dudeimbatman]

Nah, never talked to him but I will be talking to him, see what he knows about Hargreaves anyway.

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

I've never been down there at nighttime. And in the daytime I guess they stay pretty well hidden, the gooey monsters.

[He thinks for a moment, logically figuring out that there's no sun in the Underground and therefore...] Guess the vampires can walk around whenever, but they don't always look like vampires.

[Action]

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[So maybe this guy knew enough to stay away from law enforcement types, which didn't bode well for any conversation between him and Dean. He could even go so far as deny that he'd done anything wrong. Derek could see that happening.]

Well, when you talk to him you'll let me know how it goes? He didn't do anything to Hargreaves but kidnap him, hold him for a few days, and let him go. There was no obvious reason for it which isn't logical. Most abductors have a logical, to them at least, thought process or reason for doing what they're doing. This has no reason to it. He just held his abductee and let him go.

[dudeimbatman]

[Add in the fact that Dean's about as subtle as a bulldozer, and he's not likely to get anything out of the guy. He can keep some uniforms on the guy for a while though.]

Will do. Yeah, I can't figure the guy out. Maybe he had something planned for him and we interrupted but it seems to me, he had plenty of time to do whatever he wanted to do before we got there.
