[ faith has a cigarette lighter in her hands, and she watches it for a moment. click: open, fire. click: closed, no fire.

click click click. ]

So, this is space. Final frontier, boring crap on NOVA, blah blah blah. I got the jump-- thing, whatever. Here's my issue. I got what they call 'anger management problems', and this kidnapping shit? It's jumping right up and down on my last freaking nerve right now.

[ click. click. click. she sets down the lighter, smiling at the communicator with a grin that looks more like a baring of her teeth than anything resembling pleasure. baby steps! ]

So let's make a deal. Somebody uses the simple words to explain what the hell I just walked into, and I don't have to bust any skulls. Sounds fair to me.

[ and she's out. MAKING FRIENDS AND INFLUENCING PEOPLE WITH FAITH LEHANE. ]

[allucinator]

See, darlin', the one problem with that is-- you know-- we's on these little communicators. Not in person. I mean, it's a good threat, but you can't exactly follow up on it, can ya?

[stacked]

That depends on which skulls I'm busting in. [ REASSURING. ]

[cryptid]

[ faith why. give him a second to rub at his right temple with one hand and down the finger of—whatever it is he'd found in the kitchens near his room—with the other. ]

I doubt it's kidnapping in the usual sense.

Yeah, neither of us are kids. And Captain Hotass said something about-- ripping space? Or time. Or freaking both, like I understood any of the science talk.

Seems to me like this place likes people with anger management issues. From one sufferer to another. [After all, it grabbed two Lockwoods.]

Hey, if I'm stuck here at least I'm not the only one pissed off about it. [ ...truths. ]

[video]

[jurisimpudent]

I should hope you'd not be breaking any bones regardless.

[video]

Sup, Poindexter. How's it hanging? Still a little to the left?

[ faith. ]

[ see irene, faith. see what you could be if you controlled that anger. see what you could be if that controlled anger let you be a dominatrix. see the far less brash version of you.

in her underwear. some things, always, never change. (though really she is just lounging on her bed at the moment because oh boy does she have a lot to think about.) ]

Do you plan on busting them with your fists?

[ wait'll you see her makeup bag, irene. just wait. ]

Sure, if I have to. Whatever's at hand works, too.

[Aren't you charming.]

Careful with that, love. Don't want to hurt yourself.

Faith. And with a lighter, really?

[ THE MOST CHARMINGEST. ]

[longevities]

[ Helen is a new arrival as well, though she simply gives the girl a small, passing smile. ]

I'll admit, this isn't the best situation to be in. [ A calculated glance. ] Though given how it's a bit unclear on who is even responsible for this, the threats might be a bit premature.

[ A beat. She doesn't know a lot about this place yet, sadly, but she can try and help regardless. ] How much do you already know?

[stacked]

I was hoping it'd shake somebody out, but whatever. [ but that blase calm helen's projecting takes faith down half a notch in response. ] Something about jumping drives and space and time and tears.

So pretty much jack and shit, right now.

[video]

[yardbird]

[Oh, you got anger management issues, too? So does this guy! There should be a group or something.]

Right. If you start... bustin' skulls here, make sure you get the people who actually deserve it, will ya?

[video]

[ BEST GROUP EVER, WITH NO POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER OR SPLIT LIPS. ]

I promise I'll get my permission slip signed before I take anybody down.

[video]

[cargojet]

Not sure anything around here even sets on fire. Or that you'd want to.

[ she'll just be holding up a pack of cigarettes now. ]

I got nine of these that say different.

[seethemoon]

This is a ship. We're in the middle of space. We can't go back home yet.

Sometimes, bad things happen.

[WAS THAT SIMPLE ENOUGH.]

[stacked]

[ GIVE HER A SECOND TO NARROW HER EYES AND DECIDE WHETHER TO BE OFFENDED.

...she did ask for the little words, fair enough. ]

I was figuring on something a little less short bus, but hey-- I asked for the simple shit first. Got anything a little more advanced than that for me?

video;

[stimulations]

I'm not sure any of us are capable of adequately explaining the entirety of the situation, simple words or not.

[stacked]

Fine by me-- I'm a big picture kind of girl. Details are for the brain trusts.

[voice]

[doggedly]

One thing that's continually suggested is "make the best of it", but somehow I think that won't quite sit well with you, will it.

[voice]

[stacked]

Yeah, not really a 'make the best of it' kind of chick.

[doomhoops]

[ Pinged by anger management problems. Let's sit and talk about it some. And maybe take out half the ship. ]

Skulls around here don't bust easy. Good luck.

video;

[stacked]

No worries, I hit hard.

[ she's also not really going to kick the shit out of anybody who didn't bring her here-- all right, or anybody who asks her too, not here fault people like to fight-- but being threatening doesn't work too great when you dial back the threat part. ]

[angerissues]

[ Mason's seen your conversation with Tyler, Faith, so he's not exactly thrilled with you right now. Though the confidence you've got for holding your own in a fight is kinda hot... ]

You always make friends by offering to kick their ass?

[stacked]

[ hey, he started it. ]

Not really great at the first part, but I'm awesome at the second.

Trippy?

[So that's a word, but she's still floundering for answers herself.]

[stacked]

[ faith huffs out a laugh and shrugs. ]

Not what I was looking for, but not like I'm gonna call bullshit. This place is plenty trippy.

[counselling]

I'm not certain if it's known what we've walked in to. [ At least no one had fully explained it ]

[stacked]

Yeah, I'm getting that picture.
