( 03 ) video ✵ i got six friends and they all know your name

[stacked]

So, look, I get everybody's all jazzed about that list or whatever, and people wanna do the mourning thing. All good, have at it.

What I'm wondering though, is what we got working to find out who helped the dead dude get that way. Still pretty new around here so I don't know what you got rigged up already, but where I'm from something like this happens we mount up before there's a dead guy number two.

[ so that was... kind of a job application. if you tilt your head and squint. and to seal the deal. ]

Wouldn't mind helping out.

If the list I saw on this thing is right, this thing has taken out more people than just the guy who happened to fall into the pool. Are you at least going to not do the Slayer thing and go with some backup?

[ you know, since buffy is a one woman show and all. ]

Not to be the voice on the 'people suck' team, but this? This isn't a demon, unless Wes has one that likes you stick you in a pool he can talk too long about. I'm thinking this is pretty much murder, which means I'm doing this because it's the most interesting shit around.

[ callous, but: sherlocks. faith hates them. ]

So no battle time, just recon.

[ dude, people suck. cordelia's used to the demons being behind everything. demons in the higher planes, demons in the lower planes; demons who don't have scales or horns. ] The one thing that's worse than demons are people.

[ there's a pause. cordelia's only been here for a month, but it's a month of doing the things she's so used to doing. faith and her aren't teammates necessarily, but that doesn't mean they don't fight for the same side. and it doesn't mean that this is any less awkward, either. ] You want any help on that recon?

Nah, I'm cool. Pretty sure security's got this one and I'm just gonna be the tag-along, but the rate people're dropping of at might as well join up now.

[ she presses her lips together, one eyebrow raised. ] 'Less this is some bonding thing nobody ever explained to me and you wanna follow my ass around the spaceship for a while.

[ it's a joke! humor!

...baby steps. ]

I think I'm done following people's asses. [ even though the whole bonding thing was something she hadn't necessarily planned, but it does get kind of lonely on this ship. ] And this place has security? Could've fooled me, since a lot of people are dropping like flies on this ship.

[ she's thinking of :)'s list with all those numbers crossed out. whether dead or simply poofing into thin air, that's kind of suspicious. ]

You sure? We could braid each other's hair after. [ it would help if faith;s joking voice sounded different than her bitchy voice. ] They got a force running, but I heard they just lost the guy in charge. Figured they need people, and I need something to do.

Best person for the job is a Slayer. I think leaving the hair business for the non-Slayers would be best. I like it in my scalp. [ no offense, faith, but cordelia doesn't pin you as a girly-girl. and she'd feel safer if faith was on this force, anyway. ]

Hey, I never scalped anybody. [ oh my god faith don't even try to bond you are the literal worst at it. ] But yeah, until we get some more jacked up monsters to take out security's looking like my best outlet for-- you know, whatever.

[ good to know that's not on your colourful resume, faith. at least faith's found her purpose among this ship. cordelia's not quite sure where she belongs when it comes to helping the helpless in a rather hopeless situation. ]

Does being on security at least come with a better outfit than the space-ordered jumpsuit?

Wouldn't know-- I got some stuff from home, gonna keep wearing that 'till it all falls apart.

And hopefully by then we'd have a closet from home. I'm kind of bummed at the lack of clothing options. What kind of ship doesn't have at least one clothing rack?

You been on many ships?

... No. But I've tried getting an acting role that had a ship as a set. [ that's got to count ... somehow. not really. ]

Right, Angel said you were doing the Hollywood thing for a while. Closer than me, I guess.
