-44- Gimme Back My Bullets

[luckyvalentine]

[after the clinic, being holed up in her room for just about a week is all she can take. Finally feeling like she can walk around without falling apart-- physically or otherwise --she wastes no time in setting out.

...but not before she takes care of a little something, first. Sitting down, she takes a breath, and begins. No preface, no introduction

[ will definitely be waiting for her. right outside the castle entrance...hands in his pockets...smilin' a smile up at her. wow what a coincidence...it's almost like he times this perfectly. hello thar. ]

[luckyvalentine]

[creepy as ever, Joshua.

She hesitates to glance at him warily, before continuing on her way. Her limp is barely noticeable, now]

What do you want?

[fastest]

Is the pleasure of your company not a good enough answer?

[luckyvalentine]

No, it's not.

[cloakand_danger]

[his tone is entirely neutral, just as if he doesn't really care what her choice is.] You're welcome to help with the outpost I'm building, out in the Dead Zone, if you feel yourself at risk. And that goes for the others, as well.

[luckyvalentine]

Oh yeah?

You'll let the unpopular kids help build your club house?

[payback]

It might be better to get out of the radius where powers work right now, don't you think?

[luckyvalentine]

What do you guys care?

[onlyanapple]

[Over the journal, pretending he doesn't care as is the standard for them]

Still here, Valentine. It'll be interesting to see how civil people will be in their questioning.

[That is to say he'll be monitoring this carefully. Anyone who hurts her will get shanked ^_^]

Crowley

[luckyvalentine]

I didn't have much of a choice.

[she sighs]

I just want this over with. [one way or another]

Faye

[onlyanapple]

At least you've shown more balls than the rest of them. Which is ironic, considering you're the only woman.

...Can't say I blame you.

Crowley

[luckyvalentine]

[she would have loved to run, but that's hard to do when you can barely even walk]

Can you think of a better way?

[she...kinda actually means that question?]

OOPS FILTERED

[nurse_boy]

[if it were anyone else calling him a coward--excepting perhaps Amy, and the Doctor (his Doctor, not the crickety one)--he'd be extremely offended. But this is Faye, and for reasons he can't explain he feels rather protective and defensive of her. Yeah, he wouldn't have known her from Eve before all this either, but ... still]

Faye ...

[he sounds slightly surprised]

I ... I was just about to try and contact you.

Filtertastic

[luckyvalentine]

[hearing his voice is even weirder than she'd expected. The first thought that springs to her mind, turning her stomach in the process, is 'Brother.']

[there is no affection in her voice, however. It's nothing but cold. Probably a little too much like her demonic voice for anyone's comfort]

I bet.

Where are you?

Foreverrrrr~

[nurse_boy]

[likewise, Rory's is experiencing the sensation of a churning stomach--he no longer has a stomach to churn, after all--when he immediately thinks 'Sister' of her. He'd been the closest to Faye, if the kinship (or whatever) that passed between the Apostles could even possibly be defined as 'close'.

He didn't know what he was expecting when she answered him (it's weird indeed) but it definitely wasn't ... that. Yep, too close to what he remembers for his comfort. Therefore he replies back rather cautiously]

I'm ... around.

What--what about you?

[luckyvalentine]

I'm stuck at the Castle, taking all the flak while you guys hide.

[definitely snapping at him... but at least there is a distinctly un-demonic strand of stress and apprehension running through her voice somewhere. Noticeable really only to someone who is used to her being devoid of humanity]

[encryptedlock]

Classy.

[luckyvalentine]

I try.

[she sighs, though. She doesn't know this guy, but if he's replying like that... then there's a reason. So, she struggles and reigns in her bitchiness a little]

I'm just making a decision, since no one else seems to be able to. I'm sick of living in limbo.

[encryptedlock]

All this talk about a trial is only that. Anyone who thinks we aren't living in anarchy is deluding themselves.

[He's tempted to say more, but. It's up to her at this point.]

[luckyvalentine]

Just wanted to make sure that no one was getting their hopes up.

[a pause]

Who is this, anyway?
