PARABOLICAL COMMUNICATIONS

[ late evening 29th/early morning 30th ]

( RING RING )

[ sent in the early a.m. of the 30th. "Normal" cell numbers would be for the phones characters usually have but didn't have during the plot ]

[ duplicate text to DEAN, SAM, JOHN, ABC, FAITH & RUBY's normal cell numbers; ]

Hello? Anybody out there? Normal maybe?

[ sent thirty minutes later, after there's no response from Dean's number ]

[ text to FATHER DEAN's cell number; ]

Dude, it's me, Ben. I need you for something.

Are you, you? Are you okay? If you even have your phone.

Where are you?

You don't want to be a watcher for real...do you?

[ midmorning, 30th ]

You okay?

I know, stupidest question ever.

Delivered to the Hyperion on the evening of the 30th is a box, addressed to Buffy. Inside the box is a note, printed copies of some of the funnier stuff Spike said and a 'Superman S' cape from a cheap Halloween costume. The 'S' now has Sharpie markered fangs at the top of it.

Mocking's only fun if you have stuff to go along with it.

- Ben

Thanks for taking care of them when I couldn't.

Looks like I owe you several lives over by now.
