[Today there's a sparrowhawk suspiciously looking around, then taking a good long pause, almost unsure

-Then he's taking to the sky like it's nobody's business, and yeah, that's a short, rather human laugh out of him.]

I couple? I keep mistaking you for one of my students. Sorry to say, but you've got a baby's face.

[yeah, and just you wait until I get the new PB in place]

[Tony's smile turns a little strained again] Yeah, I've been told that before.

Re: [spoilers for the new Tony story start here]

[sharpasafawkes]

I'm guessing there's not a fun story behind that.

Re: [spoilers for the new Tony story start here]

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

Used to make me real popular, when I was on the street. [Tony's shrug is casual, but his shoulders end up hunched a little higher than usual, an unwittingly defensive posture] So no, not fun.

Re: [spoilers for the new Tony story start here]

[sharpasafawkes]

...Oh. Right, moving on! How's the weather been lately, because I say absolutely dreadful.

Re: [spoilers for the new Tony story start here]

I wouldn't know, I was at home. . . . or something. I don't even know. Last time I saw weather, it was October in Vancouver, there was rain.

[very smooth segue there, genius - but hey, Tony's not gonna complain]

[sharpasafawkes]

That's not too terrible, actually.

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

You know how many days a year it rains in Vancouver, on average?

[sharpasafawkes]

As much as it does in London?

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? I don't know the exact numbers, but it's close to twice the days, and three times the rainfall milimetres.

It's a damned good thing a vampire detective TV show doesn't call for a lot of bright, sunny days for outdoor scenes.

[sharpasafawkes]

Why? I mean it's not like...

...

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

Because they're hard to find in Vancouver, that's why. Do I want to know what you're thinking?

[sharpasafawkes]

Take a wild guess.

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

[covers his eyes with one hand] Look, it's a TV show. No one involved is really a vampire.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Guess who believes you, guess]

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

Whatever, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me. [shrugs] It's still true.

[Now, now, has Tony ever lied to you? Obfuscated and avoided answering, sure, but lied?]

[sharpasafawkes]

Fine, if I'm wrong, what's the right answer? You don't mind showing me your wrists, do you?

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

The right answer is, it's a TV show. We have writers who sniff glue, and the victim of the week sometimes actually dies because weird shit is attracted to me and it always goes for the fucking extras first, but the cast and crew are all perfectly normal humans, aside from yours truly.

[sharpasafawkes]

You still haven't let me get a look at your wrists.

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

[rolls his eyes and holds out his arms; there's the thick white scars over his veins, the old track marks] Yeah, and?

[sharpasafawkes]

If you'd want to off yourself you'd have gone up the arm, those are just to bleed.

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

I did a lot of bleeding on the street. [Tony pulls the neck of his shirt down hard, exposing the crosshatching of knife scars over his left pectoral] Shit happens.

[sharpasafawkes]

Tony...

[spookmagnet.livejournal.com]

[straightens his shirt out with a quickly-huffed sigh] Look. Yes, there's vampires. Yes, there's werewolves. Yes, there's demons and succubi and djinn and zombies and mummies and wraiths and ghosts and elementals and pretty much everything else you've ever heard of. But I'm the only person on the show who isn't as normal as someone crazy enough to work in television gets. No lie.

[nary a word about Henry, though :|a]

[sharpasafawkes]

That's all I wanted to know, really.
