( 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.

[ it's not really any off of hers, either; it's not like she'd known him well enough to feel particularly sad about his death. she's anxious because he was part of a list that is getting rapidly shorter as time goes on, and her name happens to be on that list, too. this may not have anything to do with that list, but that doesn't make it any less unsettling. ]

It's fine.

So, people been kicking it right and left since I showed up. Somebody roll out the red carpet just for me, or is shit getting crazier?

[ faith's methods of information gathering sound super classy okay. ]

...all I got is huh?

AUDIO;

[widowing]

'Tomato'. [ pronounced 'toh-mah-to'. who said she has no sense of humor? ]

We ever exchange names? [ it's likely natasha already knows hers, but, y'know, pleasantries. ]

Guessing that one wasn't English. [ unlikeliest friendship tbh. ]

If we did, I forgot. Faith.

[widowing]

You'd be correct, it was Russian.

[ kind of magical though! ]

Natasha.

That's be why I didn't get it, then.

[ kind of a nod, here, how does faith do manners. ] Cool. Good to-- meet you for real or whatever, I guess.

[ beat. ]

Sorry, not you-- just not really big on the whole meet and greet deal.

AUDIO;

[widowing]

[ there's a shrug on natasha's end (or would be if this were in video). ]

Don't worry about it. I've never been good at it either.

[ at least not when she's being herself. ]

AUDIO;

So, how long you been here?

[ THANK GOD they can breeze past courtesies. ]

AUDIO;

[widowing]

Since the first jump.

AUDIO;

[stacked]

No shit, really? Guess they like you or something.

AUDIO;

[widowing]

[ in the driest tone ever: ]

Lucky me.

[ but hey it liked her enough to spit her out of the labyrinth of hallways just before she got turned into mush by the jump so there's that! ]

AUDIO;

[stacked]

Could be worse. Could hate you.

[ CHEERY. ]

AUDIO;

[widowing]

[ fortunately natasha's sense of humor leans a little towards the sardonic side, especially these days. ]

You know what they say. "It's a fine line".

AUDIO;

[stacked]

Something like that.

[ look they are bonding this will end well. ] Way things've been going, I could do with just being ignored.

AUDIO; | you're damn right i'm using a shawarma icon

[widowing]

[ it'll be the best are you kidding ]

I'd take being sent back, too.

AUDIO; | afreakingmen

[stacked]

[ OH RIGHT. ]

Not so bad up here, so far.

AUDIO;

[widowing]

[ she might have agreed before people started publicly dying. ]

Things could be worse, but I'd still prefer being back where I need to be.

[ JUST A PRACTICALLY AUDIBLE SHRUG and a 'meh' sound, faith isn't a huge fan of her life, news at eleven. ]
