( 06 ) video ✵ standing waiting for the sandbox to blow sitting targets in the wild west show

[ for once, no one has to deal with faith and jaye's ridiculous mess of a room. instead the feed opens on faith's old room, which is dusty at worst. ]

Okay, so. Here's the thing-- no disrespect to fight club and all, I'm a fan. Sparring's cool for the little stuff, but it doesn't hit that real itch.

[ which would be killing, for all of you who don't speak crazy slayer. ]

So, here's what we got. Nerd wing overrun with those rat things, and looks like they're planning to just chill there for now. I'm thinking... fish with bitchin' teeth, barrel. Math's not all that hard.

Tyke already covered the general deal-- you wanna head out on your own good luck with that and mazel tov I guess, try not to bleed all over. Gets shit slippery, makes it a bitch for the rest of us. [ she shrugs one shoulder, rueful. it's true okay, geez. ] What I'm looking for is a hunting party. Fast and lean-- I got enough gear for me and maybe like three other people. Anybody who can bring their own shit to the table's welcome, but I get final call.

You wanna showboat and play hero, I got no use for you. And if you feel like you gotta prove your dick's the biggest skip the fight and just go ahead and whip it out right now, see what happens. Lonely in space, might get a couple takers for that. [ she grins, all teeth. ] All right, what else. You can't keep up, I don't need you. You can't take orders, I don't need you. You can't work nice with the other kids, I really don't need you. And no offense to the 101 crowd, but I'm not looking to babysit. You can't take care of yourself, don't need you either. Nothing personal.

I don't give a shit about attitude as long as you listen the fuck up, you stay low, and you don't get dead because that'd suck pretty hard for you. Plus then we gotta bring you back and if I bring back bodybags, boss lady's gonna get pissed and cut off my access to the party room and then I'm gonna get pissed. So no stupid moves, no dying, everybody's happy.

And if you wanna know why I'm in charge, other than 'cos I said so? [ she pans the camera over to the entirety of her weapons collection, a few clearly less high quality and more homemade blades joining the throng. ] Because they're my toys, and if you wanna play with them you have to ask nice.

[ she's such a delicate flower. ]

If you're down, we'll talk experience.



( ooc | depending on ic interest in actually going out, we can talk logs and/or handwaving etc. )

You understand it.

[stacked]

I get you didn't want to take mine, and I had to bully you into it. You guys take this shit serious, all the rules.

...she's super loyal, yeah? I mean, if somebody said your brother couldn't have banners or whatever, you'd get pissed. Same deal.

[wolfinthesnow]

I have not told my brother to reject her loyalty.

[He wouldn't, anyway.]

[stacked]

Not the same. She thinks you insulted her girl, now she's gotta be the one to hold it against you.

I'm telling you man, quit being all noble and shit and just explain how it works at home, she'll get it.

[wolfinthesnow]

I insulted-

Alayne?

[Oh my god why does all this go back to Sansa?]

This is hardly nobility that's causing my reactions. This is all common sense!

[He just wanted to protect Sansa!]

[stacked]

You told her any of this? Or you just go "that's how it is" and leave it there? Because Snow, you know I got your back but that'd piss me off, too.

Where me and Jaye are from? Dudes don't get to tell us how it works and we just say cool. Whole new world, chicks rule countries and shit.

[wolfinthesnow]

It's hardly about-

[WAIT.]

Chicks?

[He is imagining a chicken wearing a crown.]

[stacked]

...women, dumbass. People with tits.

[ only for faith is 'dumbass' an affectionate nickname. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

Why are they called chicks?

[stacked]

I don't know, just a word for ch-- for women. Like when I call you 'dude' or whatever.

[wolfinthesnow]

Oh.

[He will file this away]

We have a Queen.

[She's terrible but that has nothing to do with her gender]

[stacked]

Yeah, but did she get there by marrying somebody or did she just get to be queen because she kicked ass?

I've seen old movies, I know the rules. Queens get that way by marrying the dude actually in charge.

[wolfinthesnow]

Kicked ass-

Oh.

She married the King, it's true. Although the King died, and her son-

You remember Ser Lannister. She is his twin.

[stacked]

Oh shit, her? [ faith caught that whole 'fucking his sister' thing. ]

...look, dude. Just freaking say "at home she can't have them" and call it a day, yeah? Six words and then you both quit riding my ass about this thing.

[wolfinthesnow]

[Sigh okay, okay]

I'll mend this.

[stacked]

Was that so hard?

[ but she's grinning, relieved. nobody mentioned having friends could be STRESSFUL, jesus. ]

Thanks, Snow.

[wolfinthesnow]

Aye.
