[ ic ] Assassin Barn

[bluefalconed]

[ Right. So it's been around a day or so since two assassins were brutally murdered. Malik feels that this is a good time to talk with the other assassin. ]

Desmond, may I have a word with you?

What's up?

[bluefalconed]

Come with me.

[ doop doop leading away from the Bureau and prying ears ]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[... noticing that. And um. Already a bit wary]

... That's... vague.

[bluefalconed]

Do not worry.

[please say we're not headed anywhere near the cornfields]

What's this about? No one should be able to hear us from here.

[bluefalconed]

[ nope, staying far away from those ]

Right.

We need to talk about something that occurred the other day.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Still vague.

[bluefalconed]

I followed you when you were chasing after something.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Oh-- Oh shit.

[SOMETIME LATER? Back at the cabin]

[GOD I JUST AM SLEEPING LESS THAN NORMAL. :'D making coffee fuck you world i will be dead to you forever]

[sharpasafawkes]

[Tapping on his keys for a long time, until]

Desmond, are you still- Do I even want to know what's got you up at this hour?

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of... watching some TV.

[sharpasafawkes]

Enough that you need coffee? Not that I don't mind your charming company, but not all of us should be trying to break three days without sleep, and Malik is being as understanding about that as a miffed little cat, that means it hopefully falls upon you to be rested in the case of something horrible getting in.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... Right, I'll get right on that.

[no, no he won't]

[sharpasafawkes]

I don't know why both of you've suddenly gone all night owl, but between the three of us, Malik's got the least recent trauma affecting him. I'm not going to play the stress disorder measuring game, but at least one of us, and hopefully both of you, aren't constantly reliving their own multiple day affair of being tortured and killed by someone they trusted. So whoever that is I'd rather like it if they either explained what the hell is going on, or got some rest so I didn't feel like I'm about to get a lecture on the nasty side effects of sleep deprivation, which neither are you are allowed to give, considering the circumstances.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Jesus Shaun, we haven't lectured you this far, why would we do it now?

You know what? Me and Malik had a bet. That all. Back off.

[sharpasafawkes]

Because Malik's two hobbies are lecturing me and making my life miserable, both at the same time if he can manage it. But more importantly that all sounds like a bunch of rubbish. Malik, unlike you has a somewhat normal idea about common sense, so unless he'd gone mad I don't see him making any sort of those bets. You on the other hand, are just about as terrible a liar as him, which is "absolutely horrible at it".

[bluefalconed]

[ working on a map ]

[sharpasafawkes]

[Oh my god all of you just go to bed so you can't watch me hit sleep deprivation.]

[bluefalconed]

[ NOBODY SLEEPS IN ASSASSINCABIN ANYMORE ]

[sharpasafawkes]

[...yeah okay, I guess it's MY job to be ptsd king around here. Copycats]

Malik why don't you get a bit of rest. The sunlight will do a lot more good than a candle.

[bluefalconed]

I am still working on this map of Jerusalem.

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh pardon me, I didn't know your ink only appeared at night, do carry on why don't you.

[bluefalconed]

Yes, it is a special ink. One that you have no knowledge about.
