I need to go to Zero. Right now.

[There's the sound of hurried footsteps in the background; she's on her way to the stairs.]

I didn't do nothing and I don't plan to, but I have gotten confirmation that the demons and dark creatures here are after me. I ain't crazy or imagining things, and I ain't looking for signs and messages when there aren't any-- I got told straight out by Doctor Facilier that I pissed 'em off and I'm a goner. I don't know if any place is safe for me now, but I heard Zero's better than most.

[She takes a moment to catch her breath; she's still half-running.]

Please let me down. I wouldn't ask if it weren't an emergency; more important than life or death. It's not my body that's at stake, it's my immortal soul.

[She turns off the public feed and records a series of private messages, partially intended to be goodbye notes if things go badly. She knows people come back from the dead-- but she doesn't know if they come back from having their souls corrupted by creatures from hell.]

I'm gonna have to miss therapy for a while, I think. Unless you can come down to do it.

I know lots of people don't like you, and maybe some of 'em have good reasons; I don't know. But you were good to me and I think a lot about the things you said.

[filtered to Dillon]

You were the first person here who was as nice to me as you were, and that will always be real special to me. For as long as I live, I will never forget that you saw all I was but still liked me anyway. You were right about all the ugly stuff in me, but I been trying to be a little better, and that's because of you.

[filtered to Dillon and Simon]

I need your help-- please. Please. I don't know what to do. Is there a way to get rid of them? Can we cleanse the ship?

[filtered to Iris]

Can you come and visit me sometimes? I think I might be down there for a very long time, and I'm gonna miss you. More than anyone, maybe. If something happens to me, I want you to know that some of the people here have been nicer to me than anyone's ever been, and you were a real big part of that. And I didn't end up hating the Barge, even with all the terrible things.

In case I don't see you again for a while, or in case they get to me, I hope you don't forget what I said about you being good and being worth a lot-- 'cause I meant every word. You are the best inmate here and one of the best people too, and I won't forget all you did for me.

[filtered to Merlin]

I'm sorry. I tried. I didn't go after 'em again, but they found me anyway. I wanted to do right by you, I really did, but I don't know what's gonna happen now.

So say it out loud, I do'nt care.

Oh choose, the library or the pub, both are open and in public and never empty. You will be safe. Bring your bloody bible too.

You can just say it here over this.

I tire of this. I am not doing this via text or video. Meet me somewhere or go educate yourself.

If you do'nt want to go after me then why can't you do it over video? Its the same thing.

I want to see your bloody book, see what bible you are learning from and how much has been taken out. I cant even begin to explain the expansive history and properly educate you on my kind if I dont know where to start. Anything I say without comparison you will not believe anyway.

I use the Bibles in the chapel.

Bring one to the deck then. I can not enter the chapel.

[ Not that he has tried, but after the whole holywater bullshit, nah he's good. ]

You can't? Someone told me you could.

I have not tried, nor am I curious to try. I know what holy objects do to me. Most bibles don't count by the by, least not the newer copies. Either way I am starting to tire of this.

[Paaaaaaause.]

I'll put it by the door and then I'll leave.

Cowardice is unbecoming, break the rules and just bloody come sit out on the deck with me and hold a truce. We can hate each other again once this is cleared up. It annoying.
