"This terminal's fucked. Just a moment -" Nia says. Her long fingers weave wires together and suddenly power surges along blackened strands and she's talking to the station - talking to Ferro and Spike is holding him tight, tight.
"Fairy magic," Xander says, voice tight with pain. "I don't like this dream." His chest is burning - his lungs feel full of water and his heart is beating so, so slow.
"Dream something else," Nia says, and Xander turns - fish in a fluorescent sea - and dives into some other where.
Damn =D
"Nia, how long -?" Spike grated, sinking his fangs into a bag of blood. Ferro shivered and looked away. The vamp-face was even worse, thin as Spike was.
"It's.... Ship says - almost four months."
Damn, for a whole 'nother reason. Sheesh!
*We are so, so fucked.* Ferro stared at the screen - at the haze of blue-green oblongs and dots that surrounded a central, dark mass. The skip-point and all around were ships - maybe hundreds. And all Outsiders.
"Ferro - get going if you're gonna go. Things are gonna get rough," Spike said, and Ferro had to agree.
Sometimes, it sucks being right all the time, but I bear up under the strain remarkably well.
And yeah, the courtroom stuff in that ep of "Bones" was a tad too . . . too. But then, I'm so used to L&O/SVU.
Angela is a little . . . insistent. But you know who's getting on my nerves, now? Temperance. She sucks the light out of a fucking room, and I know that's all due to her very traumatic childhood, blah, blah, blah, but--it gets tiring.
And dude! Did you see it this week?
House and Wilson? Totally doing it. And if they're not, they should be!

Oh! And the skip-dream/flashback! Lovely!
