★ 57 [Video]

[The camera pans around on an open work space that's under construction. There are ladders, sawdust, freshly cut lumber and a good deal of paint lying around. Occasionally a carpenter or painter can be seen. The camera travels across the store to what appears to be a check out counter before Lucy turns the camera to face her. She's wearing overalls today and she's got smudges of paint in varying shades of pink and red on her face, hands, arms and in her hair.]

Everything with the store is going well. I think anyway. I'm hoping we'll be open in a couple of weeks but it looks like a lot still has to be done to me. I guess everyone survived one of those weekends again. It's fall though and things are getting cooler. Football will be here soon.

Would anyone be interested in a team?

[Luke, Jill, Jace, Dulcie & Castiel]

According to Luke, Rido is being a nosy bastard again. Jill, be careful out at night. I don't trust him not to use you.

Jace,I know it's a big deal but if you could watch her, I'd appreciate it.

Cas, can you stay on angel speed dial for a while?

Luke, thanks for the heads up. Let me know if you hear anything else. Please?

Dulcie, just...do your angel thing I guess and be careful.

[Curt, Stephen, Campbell, Menolly]

Be extra careful when you're out. Please?

[Neil]

I think we ought to avoid each other for a while. Be careful if you're out at night and stay out of the underground.

I'm more worried about everyone else. I don't think--I'm already dead. It's like a cat messing with a mouse once it's dead. What's fun is the game. I don't want my friends to become part of that game.

[Really she has no idea what Rido could do to her and she should be afraid for herself as well as her friends.]

You've found yourself some pretty awesomely equipt friends, Luce. I have a feeling we're going to figure this out.

Awesome attracts awesome. Or something like that. [Dulcie never fails to make her smile.]

I'm more worried about the normal friends like Jill. [And she pauses because there's one other person she's been spending enough time with for anyone stalking the network to notice. She's also totally using Rido as a scapegoat to avoid him.] You know, like Jill.

[You don't get to hide things from the clairvoyant girl. Sorry.]

Jill and...?

[Yeah she doesn't know that part so she's just going to deny, deny, deny]

You know, Curt, Stephen, Neil and Campbell.

[Clearly Campbell was the important part of this equation. Or at least she'd have you think this.]

[Dulcie's going to let it slide for a while. She better than anyone understands not wanting to answer questions.]

Okay. I make sure I keep an eye on them, too.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

You're the best, Dulcie. Thank you.

[She means for letting it go as well. Things are complicated! Or rather Lucy has made them complicated.]

[Dulcie ends the recording. If you look out your window tonight at all you may see a familiar pair of white wings in the sky, taking a good lay of the land.]
