020- (Voice) Gabe is still the most unhelpful angel on the Barge

[uberboned]

Okay! So everyone's getting a bit twitchy over this whole 'we're trapped on a boat with a bunch of starving vampires' thing. I get it. We all look like meals on wheels to you bloodsuckers right now, but just remember that people are friends not food. Repeat it to yourself. Cross-stitch it onto a pillow. I bet some of you guys could use the distraction right now. Go ahead. Cross-stitch away. It's a great hobby.

And, for the record, drinking angel blood is like drinking Drain-o. So don't try it... Unless you want to be hungry and convulsing on the floor with killer indigestion. Hah! See what I did there? 'Cause it... Never mind.

[Private to Max, added later.]

I'm coming over. I need to talk to you. And you don't get to say no.

You having fun teasin' the things with teeth? It'll bite you same as the rest of us, no pun.

[thoughtful pause]

Any of them even Warden enough to restrain themselves?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd like to see one hold me down long enough to try.

Well, if they ain't, we got Wardens who can restrain 'em if they have to.

And your moxie's impressive, no mistaking, but it don't really help the rest of us.

Comforting, but not my question - are they good bloodsuckers or bad bloodsuckers?

A little of Column A, a little of Column B, and all of 'em with leashes so tight, they'd be choking if they actually had functioning windpipes. You got nothin' to worry about so long as you don't go offerin' your neck to anyone.

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

Seems there's some folks doin' just that. Mighty self-sacrificing of them.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

And kinda stupid to boot. They'll think that was smart when they've got vamps breathing down their necks for more of the same. It's like potato chips. You can't have just one.

All that and, from the sound of it, low on possible rewards?

Good thing I ain't the generous type.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it keeps their morality on the up and up, but morality don't do anyone a damn bit of good when you're dead.

I need to be faster or all my tagmates will be dead D:

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

Well well. And you a Warden, too.
