Milliways!Faith Lehane // BtVS by way of Roswell // 30-odd years in the future // That Bar Place

Thirty years on, and she's still a Slayer.

Thirty years on, and she's still a Queen.

She's a mother, an aunt, a grandmother, a sister, a wife, and of all the things she's gotten used to being over the years, the one thing she thought she would never be again is a patron of Milliways.

But here she is, and despite the icon she's much as she was

"...Well, shit on me," says the six-foot-tall non-blue lookalike sitting at the bar.

.....

Faith was NEVER THAT TALL.

Okay, the envy's passed now.

"I'll pass, thanks. Behold your future," she says, with a little smile. "Not bad for almost sixty years old, huh?" She prowls around herself, still inhuman in her grace of movement. "Damn, I almost forgot how nice it was when nothing sagged....I was never as tall as you, though."

[rare_softness]

"Oh no. You're definitely not my future," she says, shaking her head.

Offering a hand: "Name's Chainsaw. What's yours, liveling?"

[faithful_slayer]

"....ah. Sorry about that, then. I'm Faith."

Handshake is had.

Faith's got quite a grip for a chick in her sixties.

"Nice name. Could almost pass for a real person with that, except for the... blue. Which I'm assuming is cosmetic, or you wouldn't have looked at me like I was your taller, hotter kid sister."

Chainsaw's not bad with the grace of movement, herself.

Ten thousand years and some naturally predatory tendencies will do that, and she's had time enough to adjust to the whole being-female thing.

[faithful_slayer]

"I am a real person. The blue is cosmetic technically, though I've been living with it long enough at this point that I sometimes forget I wasn't born that way."

[rare_softness]

"You're not a dead real person. Forget it. Okay, so why blue? Is there a little green man from Mars involved in this story at any point?"

[faithful_slayer]

"Little blue man, actually, from a planet called Altar."

[rare_softness]

Snort.

"Close enough."

[faithful_slayer]

"Except....not that little."

[rare_softness]

"Ooh?"

She perks up.

"Is there sex? There's always sex."

[faithful_slayer]

"I have a grandchild, and that's all I'll say on the matter."

[rare_softness]

Snickering, Chainsaw applauds.
