037 (Video) See Gabriel. See Gabriel greet the newbies.

[Gabriel's sitting at his desk with his hands behind his head, looking smug, which is... No real change from how he usually looks.]

Generic greeting to all the fresh meat that just arrived on the Good Ship Lollipop. Declaration of my position as a Warden here. Admittance that I don't actually give a rat's ass about most of you, despite that position. Affirmation that yes, the death and violence crap is pretty common. Vague statement about how we're headed to port in a couple of days and it'll probably end badly. [He rolls his eyes, obviously getting bored of this.] Blah, blah, blah... Repetition of the title of the song.

[He reaches over to turn off the feed and then stops.]

By the way, name's Gabriel. Don't call me, I'll call you.

And you're a comfortably smug bastard who never extends a thought past the end of his own nose.

Uh, excuse me? The both of you? If you could just. ...You know. Not do this? Please?

[Don't make him put you both in timeout, people. :|]

[Gabriel snaps his fingers, still focused on Bela. You can consider yourself muted, Bruce. Literally.]

[And Bruce opens his mouth to ask what the heck that's about when. Oh. ...Oh no.

Yeah, he's freaking out a little now what with the flailing and everything.]

What did you do to me?

Relax, Ariel. You'll get your voice back... After the adults are done talking.

You could have just asked me to butt out of your little fight here.

Okay. Bruce, butt out.

Even though it's ridic- ...Oh.

Ahem. Thank you.

[This is the part where Gabriel would apologize to being an insensitive jerk to one of the few people he actually considers a friend, but Gabriel... Doesn't do apologies. So you get an awkward shrug.]

[Awkward cough. Okay, need a subject change, preferably one that's laced with dramatic irony - GOT IT 8D]

...Well. Maybe this weekend won't be so bad at least. Sounds nice enough from the files and whatnot.

[Gabriel pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Tell me about it. I need a port or I'm gonna lose my mind.

[And look how concerned Bruce is for you right now. Right after you poke his brain and mess with his larynx, and he's concerrrrrned. BRUCE IS A GOOD FRAND LIKE THAT.] You know, if it's. Getting that bad for you? Maybe you should, er. Check out the CES or something. I don't know, blow off some steam?

[And here's Gabriel's walls going WAY WAY UP, because fuck he did not mean to be that obvious. And people being that nice to him is a foreign concept.]

I'm fine. I just need something not on this friggin' boat for awhile.

O-oh. Right. Sorry about that. Well, I was just. Saying it because I was thinking about maybe doing an CES thing myself, that is. Only been in there a couple of times during the whole time I've been here. So.

I was just. Going to go. And was, um. Projecting! That's the word.

[Gabriel's just gonna turn off the comm now. HE CANNOT DEAL WITH YOUR CONCERN RIGHT NOW, BRUCE.]

I'd say it takes one to know one, but you're really proving that cold hard bitch attitude of yours wrong.

Oh, am I. Yes, I admit it, Gabriel, you've seen right through to my tender, weeping core. [She sits back in her chair.]

[Private]

If you do in fact give more than half a damn about anyone, use that supposedly angelic brain of yours and consider why he might dislike that name before you repeat it again.

Now what did you do to him?

[Gabriel considers that for a moment, tapping a little beat on the desk, because he's not really sure what.... Annnd there it is. There's a half second flicker across his features like he's swallowed something unpleasant, but it's gone, replaced with casual nonchalance.]

So color me a bastard. You already do, anyway.

[He shrugs.]

I took his voice away. [Pause. And then he rolls his eyes.] I'll give it back. Geez.

If the palette fits.

[Her expression sours.] Have you learned nothing about the dangers of treating human beings as your puppets?

I'm a slow learner.

To your detriment.
