you can tell from the smoke at the stake that the current state is critical

[commarogue]

[Blip! Oh hey, accidental video while Faith tries to check the network and stay out of sight.]

--crew yourself, asshole. Kind of a mob out here, not a lot of room to move. Think your box of mac 'n' cheese'll survive...

[A scowl for the nice people out there before shoving the damn thing back into her jacket pocket

[There's a vampire stalking Faith. He's got lots of experience stalking slayers so he's doing it from a distance, watching her and trying to determine when she's from, how she's doing and exactly what the hell is going on. She's all tied up in knots. He can tell that much. He slips a little closer, still hanging back but coming in closer none the less]

[commarogue]

[Not the only one with experience, Big Guy. Did you notice she's let you follow her into a tight space? Did you notice her slip up into the fire escape and stash her booze for safekeeping before leaping down behind you?]

Oh, baby, all you had to do was ask. Nobody tell you that I kiss on the first date, huh?

[It's not full speed, but Angel's prey is launching at him.]

[still_brooding]

[Oh he notices and he's trusting that she'll realize it's him before she stakes him. In any case he turns just in time to dodge to the side.]

I don't listen much to rumors.

[commarogue]

[She's been running on almost pure instinct for a month, cut her some slack for not pulling right away. When she lands, Faith barely reacts. No hugs, no squealing; just a quick glance over.]

Here for Home Day?

[Can she be more guarded? Prrrobably not. This is just...dredging up all kinds of worse things. Another person to disappoint, yay.]

[ushuldlisten2me]

Turn left, three yards and then swerve to the right. [She's directing Faith out of the way of a huge crowd that'll end up knocking her down and smashing her bottle of alcohol. Whether Faith listens or not is up to her]

[commarogue]

[You kidding? Faith trucks right on through the way she'd planned to. And when that bottle smashes, she curses louder than anything ever.]

Nice trick.

[When she's finished, she turns back to the girl, moving between whether she wants to thank her and leave or take her to the side and find out just what kind of freak she is. Chewing at her lip for a brief moment, Faith snatches at Cassie's shoulder, intent on moving out of the walkways.]

[ushuldlisten2me]

You should have listened to me. [Snatching shoulder...she's sort of used to that. And at least with this girl she's not going to nab her and take her back to Division or try to kill her. At least it's not likely from what Cassie can see.]

[commarogue]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[Shuffled along into a vestibule of some cafe type thing.]

The hell was that, anyway? You a witch?

Mac n' cheese?

Hey, dude wants to eat like shit, that's his business.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

[commarogue]

Nah. S'what usually leads to stabbing and blood. [Pointing at you, trying to figure out what is up, here.] Temp or newbie?

action ][

[miseternity]

I think if you can't tell the answer to that yourself, I'm not too inclined to share. [ Smirky smirk. ] Unless that also leads to stabbing and blood.

action ][

[commarogue]

Sounds like you're fishing for a little stabbing. So I'm guessing temp.[Watch that guard fall. Backwards, what? Welcome to Faith Logic. Loosey goosey and chin cocked out.] Otherwise, you'd know better.

Hey, girl.

[commarogue]

Aww, no way. [Refrain from acting too happy. Okay, definitely smiling.]

You here with the big guy?

[bringsthemuscle]

Well, yes and no. I'm pretty sure whatever dragged me here dragged him too, but we didn't show up holding hands or anything like that.

[commarogue]

Color me surprised. [She enjoys teasing you.] What's going on back home? Any more apocalypse's? Apocalypsis? Apocal-- the world ending again?
