What the bloody hell's a girl to do when she's stuck with a splitting fucking headache and, apparently, a family she never fucking asked for?!

You could take a break from it all?

It's a horrible suggestion and I'm an idiot I know.

Not bloody likely...my fucking headache being a case in point. Being out here...I've turned up something I suppose y'could call extended family, and said extended family broke my jaw a few days ago.

Recent events make me wonder if it really is all that horrible. If I came to you, at any rate...and if I'm careful returning.

I'd kill to see you...but given my previous record of work, I suppose that's not saying much, yeah?

[so_shootmedown]

Turned up a family Val, that's not exactly the normal way around things you realize.

Are you okay? You know you can't say something like that to me and not expect me to worry. Our past or not.

Don't you dare. I won't let you do that. Not ever. I miss you, I'm not denying that but I won't let you put yourself up like that.

[not_noble]

You've read my file...foster brother and sister, not to mention his soddin' brat child. She's the one who hit me.

I'm fine...Slayer healing and all that, but I've been having tension headaches is all. Ever since she fucking cold-cocked me, the bitch.

You never had a choice before, and you'll get no choice now. I don't know what the bugger I'm doing, but I'm doing it.

I'm suffocating. There's too many expecting too much, and I can't stay here, anyway. Might as well have somewhere to go.

Find a big stick and start swingin'.

Cheers...I'm having one of those days where the notion's far too appealing.

[badbobbybarnes]

They'd learn to stay 'way real quick.

[not_noble]

Goddamn right they would...sadly, they'd heal all too quickly as well.

The girls I live with aren't exactly normal. Then again, neither am I.

[deep_red_bells]

...So, not having a good day?

[not_noble]

You'd know...your golden child's the one that set these bloody buggerin' migraines off.

Girls keep running around, screaming, and of course Abe's bloody bellowing about something...at least while you were here, these fucking nutters were quiet!

[deep_red_bells]

I heard. I'm sorry. That one's my fault.

That's weird...Cain said it was quieter there now that me and my big mouth were elsewhere.

[not_noble]

Damn right it is.

He's off his rocker...I feel like I'm suffocating.

I don't think you'll be the only one leaving the house for a bit, either.

[youputdownmount]

Anything I can do to help Val? I mean I'm sure you've tried the whole aspirin thing, but I know some pressure points?

[not_noble]

Abe suggested that...he says my concussion's all but gone, so it's just tension headaches at this point, but he's one useful arm yet, so he couldn't pin me down himself to make me his guinea pig.

Perhaps I'll try some Advil...and if it's still much, I'll come see you, yeah?

[youputdownmount]

Yeah well I wouldn't have let you up and around if you hadn't been fine from the knock around. But see me if it gets worse okay? Don't make me come drag your ass in, cause I will.

[not_noble]

You'll learn quickly...overall, Slayers are very low-maintenance.

Oh, how very sweet...you say that as if you actually could.

[msattentionspan]

We could go to a club?

Please tell me I don't have to drive to Vegas every time I want to do something fun.

[deep_red_bells]

There's a little place just outside of Searchlight? Unfortunately Nahuel runs it and it's not safe. So, yeah, pretty much.

[not_noble]

Just about, love...there's a soddin' reason they call Searchlight a ghost town, fry an egg on the sidewalk and you could feed the whole town.

I'm not much for clubbing, I don't drink and I don't dance. Suppose I could chaperon, but the music likely wouldn't help my bleedin' head.

[msattentionspan]

Well if going to a club is out, how about clubbing something upside the head?
