[worried Buffy is worried]

Has anyone seen Faith wandering around? Tall brunette, likes leather and ... hitting things?

[after all this time, she still doesn't know Faith as well as she should. That's a little sad]

I don't think I've met anyone like that. Would she be somewhere about the barracks, do you think?

[isaywe_party]

Last I checked, she was. She's my roommate.

[beyondimagining]

I could help look for her, if you like. I haven't anything to do, really. And it shouldn't take long to look through this area.

[isaywe_party]

Sure! That'd be great.

I'm Buffy.

[beyondimagining]

How do you do? My name is Will.

[isaywe_party]

Nice to meet you, Will. What end of the barracks are you on?

[beyondimagining]

The south, near the wall.

[isaywe_party]

I'll be there in a bit.

[beyondimagining]

[And when she gets there Will will be stepping out of his door and zipping up his battered sheepskin coat, tugging a little to get it past the fur trim on the collar.]

[isaywe_party]

[she'll come up when she sees him with a smile]

Will?

[beyondimagining]

Yes?

[Will turns to greet her with a smile on his face. And then he freezes, staring at the older girl. She looked to be about Gwen's age. But...

There was something about her. Something that felt wrong in some way. But he couldn't say what it was.]

[isaywe_party]

[frowns, glancing back over her shoulder as though she's trying to figure out if there's something behind her]

What is it?

[beyondimagining]

[Will hesitates uncertainly, trying to figure out how to put it in words, until he gives up and just says it bluntly.]

You feel wrong. Not like the woods feel wrong or like some of the other people here feel wrong. In a different way.

[isaywe_party]

[brow furrows]

I feel wrong?

[her head tips]

Can you describe it?

[beyondimagining]

[Will shakes his head with frustration.]

No, it feels like the reason is some piece of knowledge that is just out of my reach. I don't have the understanding i need to describe it. I just know that is so.

But... I don't feel that I should fear you. There is something sad about it.

[isaywe_party]

Huh. Sad is not the word I usually get.
