You all right? Where'd you land?

[Video: Everyone]

[Where Spike usually is, there is instead a surly looking boy with very sharp cheekbones and hair that's been bleached and spiked. His clothes are all black, but there are more chains than Spike usually wears, and the t-shirt is advertising some death metal band. He's touching his neck, right where his pulse is.]

Well. This is an interesting port.

[He drops his hand and puts down his backpack to rifle through it.]

I hope the Admiral isn't expecting me to actually attend school here. Because there is no bloody way. I've dealt with enough teenagers in the past few years to hold me over for an eternity. And I'm not amused by being one of them.

[He pulls out a wallet and starts going through it, pulling the cash out first by habit. Even though it's his wallet and he doesn't steal anymore.]

Right, so apparently I'm William Pratt while I'm here, though people still call me Spike, thank god, and--

[He stops, holding a folded-up photograph he just found in the wallet. It's not viewable rom the journal, but Spike's face is. It's a mixture of horrified, sad, and general surprise. The picture is of the kid he's become and... his mother. Looking just like she did in life, though in more modern clothes.

After a moment he remembers the journal and shuts it off. He has to look at this more closely. It's an impossibility, of course. They didn't take snapshots when he was alive, and when he was a kid, he didn't look like that, but it's still his mother. He stares at it for another moment, then folds it up and slips it into his pocket.]

...all right, you should do that. If there's a child there, you're probably responsible for her, for now, at least. Go find out her name, then make sure she's taken care of, all right?

Rose can take care of him. She's a teenager, she can manage it.

Teenagers can barely take care of themselves, Elphaba. This isn't a suggestion, it's a bloody order. You're responsible for that child, and Rose too. Anything happens to either of them, it's on your head.

For this port? They're yours. And they're kids, so it shouldn't matter whether they're yours or not.

I don't like kids.

Fine. I'll deal with them.

Not just deal. You take care of them and keep them happy, all right?

According to all the evidence we were able to find, Rose usually takes the child to work with her. It would be suspicious if she didn't.

So because the woman you're replacing is a bad mother, you ought to be too? Is that what you're saying?

To avoid arousing suspicion.

That's just an excuse, love. And not one I'm buying.

Well, it's a bit tough to imagine you being worse. When we get back to the barge, we'll be talking more about this.
