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

[uberboned]

[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.

[Imagine it in a vaguely creepy sing-song.]

You're lying, Bela.

[sonotahunter.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[hulk]

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.]

[video]

[hulk]

[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.]

[hulk]

What did you do to me?

[Video]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

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

[written]

[hulk]

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

[written]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Okay. Bruce, butt out.

[video]

[hulk]

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.]

[video]

[hulk]

[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.

[video]

[hulk]

[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?

[video]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

[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.

[video]

[hulk]

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.]

[video]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[sonotahunter.livejournal.com]

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?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

[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.

[sonotahunter.livejournal.com]

If the palette fits.

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

[private// video]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I'm a slow learner.

[sonotahunter.livejournal.com]

To your detriment.
