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

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.

[ ...how is that boring at all, Faith? ]

They sound like a bunch of assholes. The old British guys, that is. [ Well. They do. ]

So you've got... demons and magic all over the place where you come from?

[ her life is pain okay. that's the shiny happy version. ]

I know a couple that don't suck too bad, but in general? Yeah, they're pricks. [ the watchers council sucked in its beta version, natch. ]

If you're in the know. Most of the world figures everything's normal 'till something thinks they look tasty, though.

[ THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S BORING... ]

Yeah, seems like that's always the way of it.

[ There's a slight snort. Yeah, he... knows how that goes, too. ] What year is it for you?

[ doesn't everybody have backstory like that just waiting tho. ]

Easier that way, I guess. People got a habit of freaking out when they know what's really going down outside their door.

[ for a destiny ordained hero, faith is kind of a misanthrope. ] Just hit 2003. You?

[ Yeah but they don't know that... ]

Guess that's true. Something like that, they might actually do something about it.

[ Reaper is just kind of super bitter about how easily the government gets away with shit. ] 2046.

[ same with her-- there's a whole demon angle nobody knows yet. timelines, man. ]

Or they'd just die faster.

[ fuck tha police, faith always says. ]

[ There's a sigh. ]

Yeah, or that.

Sorry, not really a sunshine and rainbows kinda chick.

[ kanyeshrug. ]

Can't say I blame you.

[ He's just still sort of recovering from a mission where almost everyone died. ]

Life's a bitch and then you kick off.

[ ...now why does that sound so familiar. ]

Quickly, if you're lucky.

[ There's a rub at the back of his neck. What he ought to do is go see that counselor, but he really, really doesn't want to. ]

Only luck I run into usually goes the other way.

[ there's a cheerful grimness to her tone, because Issues. ]

Yeah, same.

[ He just sounds grim. Fitting. :v ]

Seems to stay that way on this ship.

Aw, how sweet of them. Just like home for people like you and me.

[ not 'people like us'. again: issues. ]

Well, least I get my own room now.

Same.

[ There's a bit of a nod, one hand moving to scratch at the dogtags around his neck. ]

I'd say the pool's a nice change too, but... [ dead bodies, and all. ]

[ she lifts one shoulder in a graceless shrug. ]

Nobody ever swam in water people kicked off in, ocean's'd be all the hell off limits.

[ His lips twitch. ] They're cold anyway.

Grew up in Southie, you don't have to tell me. We don't do beaches where I'm from.

I've been on base out in California, right in the middle of the Mojave. The ocean still only feels good for about a second.

[ w e l p. guess where somebody went to prison. ]

...Spent some time out near there myself. Guest of the state and all.

[ whoops ]

Mind if I ask?

Had some anger issues. [ she shrugs. ] Made some bad calls.

[ murdered people, sometimes for hire nbd right? ]

Mm. Know about those, too.

[ Both the anger issues and the bad calls. ]
