[ faith has exactly one concern in all this bullshit: empathy is not so much her gig. ]

So, seems like everybody's all about sharing and caring. And that's cool, whatever gets you off. Play Missed Connections on the Love Boat from hell all night long— have a blast, I don't give a shit.

But just in case anybody else gets any bright ideas about 'maybe we should talk about it'— [ gdi topher— ] maybe nothing, get me? You think you picked my brain, sucks to be you but don't blame me, I didn't sign up for this crap and I don't wanna know about it. I got zero desire to talk about whatever anybody thinks they saw, end of story.

[ because not-terribly-blissful ignorance is better than pity!!! or something. she's emotionally healthy. ]

And just so everybody clear, I'm talking the kind of leave me out of it I'll throw some muscle behind backing up. Keep it zipped and to yourself or I'll break it off, it's nothing I wanna look at.

[ and with the snick of a lighter and a mumbled curse then a long inhale, she's out. ]

[This time the sigh is more audible than strictly necessary] I admire your strength human, but speaking to you is a tiresome experience.

Aw, babe, you don't have to sweet-talk me. I was already kind of digging the vibe.

[ case in point. ]

It's Faith.

[ancientalien]

Faith? [It's clear that he has trouble swallowing that as true.] An interesting choice.

I am Javik.

[stacked]

Nice name.

[ she will never use it. ]

And uh... choice? Not like I got to pick it. Kinda came with the package as-is, thanks to dear old mom. She always thought 700 Club and a wine cooler helped the morning sickness go down, what can I say?

[ancientalien]

She sounds like a foolish woman.

[stacked]

Kinda, yeah. Only one I had, though.

[ancientalien]

[Humans were strange.]

Very well. I will leave you to your thoughts.

[stacked]

Take it easy, Big Blue.

[ yeah she's still working the genie angle

because of maturity ]
