---

Oracle has posed:
The Nest. The Birds base, if you will. Babs is in here settled at the holo table. She's got coffee and is peering at the table, with a glance up to the far wall. The door's open as Babs isn't hard to spot. She asked the Birds to come meet up at the Nest. She didn't say where, that's for the Birds to find her, really. She's got her casual outfit on, tank top, jeans, et al. Babs has left the door open as a hint to where she is, too.

Oh and the radio's on, Babs has her favored station on, too. And she's settled at the holo table in a chair.

Quake has posed:
It doesn't take for Skye to find her. She's not been to bed yet. It's been a couple of weeks since Clint moved out. She has moved the cats to her rooms at the Trisk, and has yet to decide what to do with the Greenwich property. Today, however, she shows up. She even has a large coffee

"Well, I'm here! What's up?" She tries to be happy, and pretty much fails.

Oracle has posed:
Babs gets up and grins. "Hey Skye" she says and steps forward, arms out for a hug. "How's things going?" she asks, carefuly avoiding the elephant in the room. She has little nice to say on Clint. If Skye wants Babs to swear like a shipyard full of longshoremen stubbing their toes...then Babs will oblige. Instead...

Babs smiles. "Oh I was looking ovr the table. I have a few possible people I'd like to keep an eye on. I wanted to hear your thoughts and compare notes. I brought us chocolate coated donuts and got the coffee maker going. THough if I spill coffee over our Nest, Nat will murder me and then who will lead us?

Quake has posed:
"I know. Clint left me. I don't believe it's a mission. When I came back, we agreed that we won't do that again anymore." She shrugs. "I have do get over it. Just takes a while. In other words, getting lots of work done? I'll be fine." She hopes.

"So do you have on the docket? Let's see."

Oracle has posed:
Babs grins, "Oh I got a few I'm watching. Let's se. Buffy, she can fight. I ran into her fighting a few times and she's good at that. There's a few others, but I've not pulled their files up. I was keeping an eye on a GCPD officer in trouble" Babs says, moving the view on the screen to be that atop an apartment block and angled down to the street, then pans it ovr down the street.

"Who would you recommend we look at? Not look into, but consider talking with?" Babs asks, "Also yes, you got this Skye. You got this and you'll do your best and get through this"

Quake has posed:
She takes a cruller, and remarks, "Maybe I was thinking about my own. I mean, it's been over a year searching for my parents. Maybe I missed something from him." She picks at the cruller, don't really eating it. "Buffy? Should I give her a background check, or?" Adding, "I have been a lousy Bird. No wonder he left me."

Oracle has posed:
Babs looks over the table then to Skye and smiles. o, about Buffy" Babs shrugs. "Yeah give her a background check. Enjoy that" she nods looking pleased and watches Skye and shakes her head at the table, fiddling with it again, looking to the wall then to Skye as Babs smiles. "No, you're not a lousy bird. You're one of the core of the Birds, Skye. It's you, me and a few others that are our core"

Quake has posed:
"You're not helping me," Skye gives Babs a frown, but even she can't stay mad. "I know. I know. But I have been busy. And dammit, I suck at being depressed. I would rather find something to do. At least if you have to be sucky, at least you're getting something else done. I don't understand women who sit in pjs, in front of some romantic comedy, and eat chocolate chip cookie dough - how does someone do that?"

"I keep back to you about Buffy. Any others?"

Oracle has posed:
Babs grins looking thoughtful. "Yeah can you dig into Buffy's background? I ran into her at the Blue Lady and figure she can fight but I want to know more about her. Who she is, what makes her tick. She met us all at the Clocktower. I'm just wanting to know a lot more on her before we see if she's worth loooking into more" Babs nods with a smile. "You don't even need to put your coffee and food down to do that, either. I was going to invite you guys over to the tower. You can crash at my place if you need it. We can team up and look after your cats too if you like? Or are they jumping up on laps wherever you put them?"

Quake has posed:
"Bah, put some food down, and some water, and they'll be fine. Unless you want to babysit them." She nods to the rest. "Probably an evening."

Oracle has posed:
Babs laughs. "You're the one with pets. Not me. I'm not even sure whatever's in the clocktower is pet material, you think I'd bring a bunch of what, dust bunnies, mice and ss on into my apartment?" Babs asks with a laugh. "Nah seriously though, if your cats are good, sweet.So what do you know about Buffy?" Babs asks, settling back into her seat, turning the chair to face Skye.

Quake has posed:
"Trust me, they think everyone loves them." Skye laughs. "As for the girls, just what you said. I mean it, I've been a rotten Bird. Like I said, take about an evening to piece together on her."

Oracle has posed:
Babs nods, "Alright, an evening. Sure thing" she nods and sips her coffee and smiles. "See, Bufffy's an oddd one really, but with the Huntress and everyone else being out of town....it's just us, you, mee and the Shadow keeping the Birds going" Babs nods and looks determined.

Babs gets up and looks thoughtful, glancing to the big screen, then to Skye. "You knoww something? You're not a sucky Bird. You're one of our best. You came when asked. That proves you're still willing and care about us"

Quake has posed:
Skye takes the compliment quietly , "Thanks. It really means a lot."
