[CW: references to religious violence; disrespectful discussion of both Abrahamic and Nahuatl religions fairly likely in comments.]

[The Tess who appears on the screen is a rather tired-looking Tess.]

I, uh.

[She glances down; clears her throat awkwardly.]

If anyone actually, uh. Actually took the blood sacrifice thing seriously? I need you to just not. Please. Offer's rescinded, no blessings for blood. Even if it worked--and it's not going to work; I was just being--I was being stupid. Even if it worked I don't...I don't want that. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said all that stuff. I'm sorry for the things I called everyone.

[Her face contorts in guilt, but she forces it neutral again.]

And...if anyone's seen my snake? I know you don't owe me anything, but if you could let me know if he's okay, I'd just...I'd really appreciate that.



[Private to Flynn]

Flynn, I...I'm really sorry. That wasn't okay; none of that was okay. I shouldn't have put you in that position. I'd get it if you didn't want to talk to me again.

Stupid.

[Says Lilly, scowling at the screen as she is wont to do.Seriously, you're a different person every time she talks to you; what's up with that? Also, she's a little sour that Tess can speak English now. She'd kind of liked the novelty of teaching her the names of random household objects.]

Don' like you.

[It's half a lie; she looks more favorably on Tess than she does on a lot of people here.]

This place is funny that way, especially when you die and get your brain mangled for a few days.

[He's not going to put the video on, figuring she feels bad enough. Though he does hope Brian sees this...]

I still have something for you, though.

If snake is a new nickname for Hotstud, then you're out of luck.

[ He saw that flirting. It was going on infront of his salad his post before. ]

[He hadn't replied. He had felt too helpless to make that attempt. But he had been listening. She was tempting his close friend, after all, and Beckett of all people was never someone he would want to see resort to this. He'd known Tess wouldn't really want it. She seemed like a normal person, after all, if not ordinary.

And this town had given him more than his fill of bloodshed in the name of someone who never wanted to hurt anyone.]

I'm glad you're back to yourself. I...I hope nobody took it seriously, but, thank you, for denying those who would even that much of an excuse.

You want to explain exactly why you were asking for sacrifices in the first place?

[Because if that was a death loss, it was a hell of a death loss.]

[cahooted]

[Flynn looks rather tired himself, the injuries still fading, but he seems to be getting better. The shock has waned off and he looks less scattered than he did down in the cells.]

I mean, if you still talk to me after what I did that would be really hypocritical of me.

[He gives the camera a small smile.]

Sorry I did such a lousy job distracting you. It's good to have you back.

@godsend, video

[termineur]

[ Gabriel waves at the camera like a dork. At least he looks happy. ]

Welcome back. We've got your snake, Tess. He's fine. Been using us like heating pads ever since we bumped into each other.

[ He pulls back the camera to show a feathered serpent curled around him. He looks down to address the snake. ]

Hey, Tess is on screen. You wanna see her?

So now whaddya want in exchange for blessin's? Make up your mind, sister! I'd say lives depend on it, but it's prob'ly a li'l too late for that.
