002: [Action/Video] Poolside Paradise

[i_willpout]

{It didn't take Lucy long to find the shops and within half an hour she had a bikini and flip flops. It was vamos to the pool after that and right now she's lying on her back on a floating raft in the middle of the pool. She's got a mint julep in one hand and a trashy romance novel in the other. Really, the day is fairly perfect but it's a bit

[Faith scowls at the peppy blond. God, not another peppy blond.]

Train. Make weapons. Stay close to the cabins.

And eat a shitload of junk food.

God you sound like my--

[She stops and tilts her head, really checking the video out]

Holy Bear Bryant...Faith?

[more_ofadoer]

[More scowling. She doesn't like it when people she's never met know her.]

Depends. Who the fuck is asking?

[i_willpout]

[There's a confused face from Lucy and then it smooths out]

Lucy. I guess you haven't met me yet. I'm a slayer. Sometimes I come visit in Cleveland at the Y. Everyone totally loves me there.

[Of course that's debatable but the visiting part isn't]

Angel's my watcher.

[more_ofadoer]

[Silence.]

Angel's...?

[Laughter. Lots and lots of laughter.]

[i_willpout]

[Confusion to meet her silence]

Okay, so I am his first slayer. Only not his first slayer and Buffy's not here right? Because if she is I'm running now. She tends to throw things when I start talking about her and Angel.

[Faith does not get grumpy. Because Faith doesn't want to correct her on who the first slayer sponsored by a vampire was. She really doesn't get grumpy.]

No, thank god. I can only handle so many perky blondes.

...Are you fucking with me? Trying to act like you're tight with Buffy and Angel? Are you even really a slayer? God I hope you're not really a slayer...

[i_willpout]

[There's a gasp and some mouth open, highly offended looking expression going on]

You did not just...seriously? Wow. I like future you better. You grow and shit. Emotionally and mentally I mean.

And no, I'm not that tight with Buffy. Angel is different. I live with him at the Hyperion only not like LIVE with him. He has his room. I have mine. There is no LIVING together happening, Kapesche?

[more_ofadoer]

[A couple beats of silence and a cocked eyebrow.]

Yep. You're a slayer.

Don't try to act like I'm going to train you. Especially if you reference future me again.

[i_willpout]

[That's a smile stretching across Lucy's face. She tilted her chin up a bit with it]

Told you so!

Awww does it creep you out when I mention Future!Faith?

[more_ofadoer]

Seriously, don't fucking go there. I don't need to know about any growing of any kind.

[She revisits her previous statement about not training.]

And we should probably talk, privately.

[i_willpout]

Are you kidding? I'm like tarot but real and minus the creepy, creepy cards.

[There's a pause and Lucy nods. She recognizes Faith's Staff Sergeant voice]

Okay. Anywhere in particular? And can there be mint juleps and a pool? Or is this strictly nonpool talk?

[more_ofadoer]

Never was a fan, thinking your version would be worse.

Pool's okay. You at the north one?

[i_willpout]

My version is inexplicably awesome.

[She consults her map for a few seconds]

Can I get this thing with a British accent? And yes, I think that's the one.

[more_ofadoer]

All right. Don't fuckin wander off or anything.
