[Sittin' in her bed back in her cabin, drinking some juice through a pink double-heart-shaped crazy-straw. Her hair is a little messy (though she does have a pink streak in it) and she looks pale, but otherwise there's no leftover visible trace of her illness from the last few days. (Don't ask her how she got flu-type sickness in space. From port, maybe? She hasn't thought too hard on the how yet.) There is, however, an audible trace - her voice sounds lower than usual, and still sort of congested.]

Uhm. Sorry I've been AWOL from the Network for a while, you guys. I was kind of down for the count. To be honest, it was kinda good timing? But also bad timing. Eh, never mind. It was neutral timing. But weird. Guess I called it on the space-sickness though, huh? [A grin here, though she knows that wasn't the type of sickness she was referring to when she first arrived on the Barge.]

How much did I miss, anyway? Fill me in, pretty please? My eyes are still too tired to go back-tracking.

[Private to Merlin]
Thank you.

[Private to Dracula]
I seem to recall you leaving me a message, but for the life of me I can't even remember what was going on. You doing okay?

[Private to Dean]
Thanks for hauling my ass to the medical ward during the worst of it, despite my protesting. I did manage to get back before Willow got soul-ified, so all's good here. Or mostly good, anyway.

[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.]

[Yes, it's taken Claudia a while after port ended to get this up, but. Hopefully no one's been too worried about her. When she turns the communicator on, she's sitting on her floor with her guitar in her lap, though she moves it and sets it aside, leans back against her bed and sighs a little. There is no streak of color in her hair this time, and the black paint on her nails is chipped... She doesn't seem too concerned about it.]

Yeah, I pulled a stupid. Sorry about that. [Some may find that insincere, may even think it's sarcastic (she does have a tendency towards sarcasm), but in truth she feels quite like a five-year-old having run off on her own into a dangerous situation, without even really thinking about it. She is sorry.] I'm fine, though. And I'll... try to be more helpful at port next time. [She seems a little iffy on that. To be honest right now she's feeling like maybe she doesn't even belong here.]

[She reaches her hand up to pull a file down from on top of her bed.] Looks like I got a little assignment to do in the meantime. Guess who's been handed an inmate? Is there any surprise at all in who it is?

[She flips the file open, lips tilting just slightly as she reads over it, then looks back up at the screen.] Willow Rosenberg. I've been working on a little present for you since I got back from port. We need to meet up so I can give it to you. [And by "present" she means a bracelet with an ability to shock the wearer, starting at 20k volts and tune-able up to a (insert much higher but non-lethal volt charge here, mun will figure out later, too lazy to research at this moment). Claudia has a matching bracelet that will turn the other one on at a press of a button. She's already wearing this bracelet, but among her other bracelets and rings, it would be hard to tell that it was made for such a purpose.]

[Filtered to Wardens PLUS Dracula]

[She runs a hand through her hair. She looks... tired. Maybe even sort of depressed, if you're any good at reading emotions on people's faces.] So apparently the type of vampire Willow is doesn't have an actual soul. And from what I've heard and read... She's probably going to need her soul back, if I want any chance at all in redeeming her. Basically, what I'm asking here... Is there anyone that could help me with doing that? Is it as simple as asking the Admiral for her soul back, or do I need... some sort of spell? Magic?

[Private to Buffy]

At some point I really think I need to talk with you, about... Well, yeah, you know. But there's really no rush at all. Just... whenever you think you'd be.. more comfortable, I guess? With talking about that.

Have you ever tried so hard not to think about something until it's all you can think about?

[Sigh.] Yeah, it's official: I have got the homesick. Artie, Pete, Myka, Josh, Leena... Steve. And Artie would kill me for saying it, but I kind of miss H.G. as well. Uh, not that you guys haven't been great so far! I gotta say: I really appreciate all of you that volunteered to help me with the whole defense thing.

Oh, hey, that reminds me. Is a warden allowed to kill an inmate? I mean, on purpose. Not in self-defense. And this is just a hypothetical-type question here! [Lies. She witnessed Buffy staking Willow the other night. And honestly she hasn't been able to sleep since, which is why she's doing this entry voice instead of video - along with the bandage on the side of her neck, she's also got that crappy sleepless/zombie look going on.] 'Cause personally I don't think that's such a brilliant idea.

...And it would be all kinds of helpful if some of you would tell me what you know about vampires.

[OOC: Claudia does indeed know how to use filters. For the question regarding warden ethics, she actually wants to hear all opinions - including inmates'. And she didn't think the request for vampire knowledge really needed a filter. /SHRUG.]
