[TEXT / Private to the Admiral]

Admiral, if it's at all possible, I'd like to request Willow's soul be returned to her, preferably sometime within the next 24 hours. And if you can't do it, let me know ASAP, as I've already been researching other methods. Thanks.

[(EDITED) AND LATER, AFTER THE PATRONIZING ADMIRAL HAS RESPECTFULLY (LOLOLOL) DECLINED:]

[Have a video with Claudia sulkily munching on a cookie. She is quite frowny-face. There is some pouting. She's back in her cabin now, and not in the library.] I'm starting to get the whole "Admiral Sucks" vibe that goes on around here now. Cookie's okay, though, not gonna lie.

[Private to Merlin (takeyouapart)]

Admiral declined giving Willow's soul back. I've been doing some research. [Pause.] Okay, a lot. But I'm completely clueless when it comes to magic. So, I'm not sure it's helped much, if any. Uhm. Help please?

[Private to Dean (surfaceshine)]

Dude, you got me all excited for cream cheese and bagels and then bailed. What gives? [Yet there's obvious concern in her tone, and in her expression.] ...You okay? 'Cause, uh, if you're available, I might need some assistance man-handling Willow down to level zero while I try to get this whole ensoulment thing started. If you can think of anyone else that might also be able and willing to help, it would be sooo much appreciated.

[Private to Dracula (nolongerhollow)]

I'm contacting Merlin to help me get started on bringing Willow's soul back. And I've contacted Dean to try and help get her down to level zero so no badness happens in the meantime. Can I get your help with that, too? And, uh, I might ask you to stay with me down there, too, once this all gets started... I could really use the help and the support. Also: you're awesome. And I promise once things get settled down, we are so having that MST3K party. Count on it. [Have a sincere, if still a little stressed, smile.]

[No joking or smirking or flirting this time - no video for the attentionwhore hunter. He is, however, prompt. He sounds... not quite groggy, but not quite alert either. It gets better as he goes, though.]

Sorry darlin' - I spaced it. I'll make it up to you.

Headed out to find Willow now. Holler at Dracula? We can handle it if you wanna keep working.

[That is a little concerning. But she's not going to ask, because unfortunately now is not the time (rest assured how ever, if this weren't serious important business going on, she might try and wheedle it out of you, she's that kinda girl).

Her voice is quiet, there is still audible worry in it, but she simply responds with:] Holla I did. Thanks.

[It's not that he doesn't notice the concern, it's that he doesn't have any way to alleviate it right now. He'd rather focus on serious business anyway.]

I'll hit you back when I know more.

[A bit later, after this. Dean sounds tired, but not like he's in pain or anything.]

We've got her. She's in Zero. Everyone's okay.
