[For once, Fabiola doesn't look anything remotely resembling cheerful when she turns on her mirror. When she speaks, it becomes very clear why.]

Bumblebee seems to have been returned. I will of course, wait until I am certain he will not be returning, however...

[However, considering that's the third of her friends in the last few weeks, she's not exactly counting on it.]

Regardless, I will be doing the rounds for my patrol if anyone needs me, and to all members of the Watch, I will gladly go where my assistance is needed when I am not on patrol.

[And god help anyone, Guest or otherwise, who gets up to anything while she's out and about today.]

[Lucky for Barricade, she's still very much unaware of the type of bot he is.]

It is... not the wisest move it could have made, no. But- I hope perhaps some good will come of this. Somehow...

Everything happens for a reason. [Hopefully that reason is the death of humanity across all universes.] I won't ask if you're alright, but if need company, well... I'm hard to miss.

Thank you- it is kind of you to offer.

...I hope you have not been having trouble with people. You are a rather obvious target.

[Acts of kindness would be incredibly painful if he actually meant them.]

Any time. And you don't have to worry about that. Being obvious doesn't always mean those people even want to approach me.

[Poor, poor Barricade, having to play nice with all these squishy humans.]

That is understandable, I suppose. You are not as easily brought down as some of the other guests... Still, I hope it remains as such- it would not do to have anything happen to you.

We come from a tough stock, so like I said, don't worry about it. Keep your attention on your own job, and I'll mind mine.

I shall- though speaking of which, this whole situation is going to make my job far more difficult than it needs to be.

[Hm, how to seem helpful without actually helping...]

Hasn't the Watch got backup people for situations like this?

Normally we would, however recently our numbers have taken quite the hit. We cannot cover as much as we once could.

BREW doesn't seem to be bringing in what it used to, does it? Shibusen should have enough staff to fill in where it counts.

No, it does not- and that it a bit worrisome. One would think it would stop sending people away if it is not bringing in as many as it used to, but...

[She shrugs helplessly.]

I do not understand it.

Not even the people that use it seem to understand it. [His voice takes on a bit of a hard edge at that, so maybe it's best to try and shift gears.]

It's brought people back before. If it knows what's good for it, we'll be seeing Bumblebee again soon.

That seems to be quite true, honestly.

[And if she sounds a little frustrated there, it's understandable, at the moment.]

Well, I suppose that is one way of looking at it. Bumblebee is one of the City- and Shibusen's- strongest supporters. It would be foolish to send him away permanently.

[He'd say brilliant rather than foolish, but that's just him.]

We'll just have to wait and see, unfortunately. In the meantime, we'll do what we can to keep on going.

[Ruuuuuuuude.]

You are correct, of course. One can only hope he is returned, and nothing more.

[That still doesn't mean she has to like it though.]

[He's going to enjoy every moment of it the second he hangs up. Speaking of, he's burned through his tiny window of concerned pity.]

We'll settle for that. I'll let you get back to your patrols, but like I said, I'm around.

[Which doesn't technically mean he's available to help...]

[Fabiola is, at least, getting better at recognizing the end of a conversation when it happens.]

Yes, of course. Goodbye.
