Dear Santa,

You don't exist and I hate your holiday. But since you seem to show up here every year and grant wishes, here's mine: kill everyone on this boat. ["Except Vince and Adam" is scrawled in after the fact.]

No love,
Elle


Happy, Admiral? I wrote your stupid Christmas letter!


[private to Howie, after much hesitation]

I'm not alright.

I'll bargain a bottle of tequila for my life.

Private

Fine.

Re: Private

[queensboulevard.livejournal.com]

"Fine?"

You have a shitty week?

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

Re: Private

[queensboulevard.livejournal.com]

Well, then I will say that. You had a shitty week. You wanna have a drink?

Private

My healing power isn't that strong, Elle. I don't think that I'll be able to survive if the Admiral kills me.

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

That must've slipped my mind.

Private

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

You know you wouldn't want to be without me.

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Just think what we could get up to if we had this big boat all to ourselves.

Private

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say no to that.

Okay. That's... I can come talk to you if you want. I'd make a cup of tea, or something, but I know you wouldn't want it.

private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Okay. To the talking, not the tea.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I figured as much.

I'll be down in five minutes, if that's okay. Don't go anywhere.

private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Where would I go?

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Don't know, just saying.

[Howie knocked on Elle's door about give minutes later.]

Private

[grayatonement]

Thanks.

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

For asking the Admiral to kill you?

Private

[grayatonement]

Sarcasm, for forgetting me.

Is "Vince" the one that's chasing you?

Private

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Vince was Peter's inmate.

Private

[grayatonement]

I know who he is. He's.. an acquaintance.

You didn't answer my question.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

This? This is my sad face.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I can make it up to you.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

Uh uh. You want me dead. I'm mortally offended.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure you go out with a bang.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's not gonna cut it I'm afraid.
