Any of you brilliant and varied folk out there know how to cure sudden blindness? I'm not picky, I'll take magical or medical or...whatever else is beyond that. It's for a friend of mine.

Sounds like a Watcher deal. Not my thing.

...They okay?

voice; /LOL it's ok bb!

[deformiwhats]

That's okay. Someone will have something, they've gotta.

Well, she acts it. Damn good show, too -- but she hums to herself sometimes. I can't say she's doing great.

[thesecondslayer]

Hey, come on, place like this? Somebody'll figure it out.

Yeah. [Small pause of Faith having no idea how to do this... comforting thing, so instead just not. Also trying to decide if she wants to talk at all about the horror show of Angelus and the Mayor.

...Yeah, no.]

Curse or something?

voice;

[deformiwhats]

So many smart people, and magic out the wazoo, I'll find someone.

[If anyone gets that, Lorne does. He's good with the moving on quickly, anyway.]

I think so. The blindness is lasting longer though, I'm just trying to find some advice, a few ideas maybe. At least get her to accept help.

[Plus, it's easier to lie to people who seem genuinely pretty cool when you don't open your mouth. There's a reason Faith's avoiding Wes-- other than the usual, at least-- she's pretty sure this one's not going to end well on a scale she hasn't seen in a while. Easier to run and leave her phone off than face up to it.]

My last time through, I heard a while back the deities got their panties in a bunch over something, screwed around with memories. Might wanna check that road out too. This chick do anything to piss them off?

[deformiwhats]

[Lorne wouldn't know anything about that. Just moved into the mansion and running back away again already? Doing exactly what Angel said not to and talking to the Big Bad? No, no issues there.]

Thanks, sweetie. I'll look into that!

voice;

[thesecondslayer]

[Faith makes the best choices ever.]

Hope you get it figured out.

[Are those the dulcet tones of a subconscious 'thank God this chick is hurt, so I don't have to deal with an empath scanning my seriously conflicted aura'? Yes, they most certainly are. Hey, she's apparently not mature enough to deal with her bad choices, so any distraction works to her advantage.]

Good luck, or whatever.

voice;

[deformiwhats]

[Looks like all the AI kids on the periphery are misbehaving. What's that about the cat being away?]

Thanks, Faith. Me too.

[They probably are, but even so, she's not throwing off enough vibes to work through the Network. It'll take a face-to-face for him to pick up on anything, and that's if he actually realizes what's up.]

Once I get this taken care of, we gotta have some kind of get together at the mansion, promise. There might even be food.

voice;

[thesecondslayer]

[Angel is going to come back to something eerily like a mess. Wouldn't be a return to the City without it?]

Hey. [Her voice softens a little, because whatever, she doesn't know Lorne well, doesn't have the history with him she has with Angel. (Or Wes, but that's a whole new issue.) But he's been good to her, and the return to form doesn't mean that counts for nothing.] Like I said, place like this? Someone'll have the juice to fix her.

[Let's hear it for the Network.]

I could eat. And you got my number.

voice;

[deformiwhats]

[Gives the fearless leader something to do, right? What would he do without his little delinquents? The soft voice makes Lorne sit up and listen, of course. It's somehow more reassuring coming from Faith.]

I've been getting a lot of responses. If nothing else, it's amazing how many people are willing to try to help.

[Hip-hip hooray?]

That I do, dollface!

voice; FFFF iPhone arpee :| /typos forever

[thesecondslayer]

[She'd threaten to kick his ass if he mentions it, but come on: no one would believe Lorne. Faith's a lot of things-- fail, more than a little passively suicidal, collecting all the issues ever, kind of a ho-- but soft's never topped the list. Her badass rep is safe for the moment.]

Everybody likes getting up in everybody else's face around here, too.

[This is where an actually genuine smile would go, if Lorne could see her.]

I like burgers. [And click goes the connection, someday someone should teach this poor child the importance of social niceties.]
