[ When the audio kicks in, it catches part of a conversation because Faith's busy trying to get her NV to work while being technologically retarded and listening to the SERO operative try his little helpful immigration bull. It starts with a man's professional-sounding voice, though his statement is clipped. ] -- from?Little bit of everywhere, I

... Faith?

[watcherless]

[ She fixes the NV with a confused look and then holds it up to her ear, confusion evident. ]

Wes? Thought you had a whole beastmaster gig to mess with back in L.A.

audio;

[marlborocousin]

And I thought you were vegetating in a coma.

[watcherless]

Gotta say, far as cracking jokes goes, not your best work. Either you got some wicked messed information or somebody whacked you with the candlestick in the study.

[Really, of all the people from their world? Faith?

She was inwardly glad she hadn't had to go through all this when she first arrived though. At the very least.

And it didn't sound like crazy!Faith. So that was good too.

Still, she debated making her presence known or not.

Finally.]

Faith?

[watcherless]

[ Was that ... ? That was definitely Cordelia. A pause. ]

Well, whaddya know. Gang's all here. Angel, Gunn and the kid gotta be up next, right?

audio;

[knowmypurpose]

Angel was here briefly, but he's gone now. Gunn's never been here, neither has Connor. Doyle was here briefly too, but you don't know him, so whatever. It's just me and Wes these day.

audio;

[watcherless]

Wes. Right. What's his deal? He take a nasty spill in the shower or somethin'? Last I checked, he was all clear on me being coma-free.

[peoplesprincess]

[...]

Did it work?

[watcherless]

[ she sounds a little miffed when she finally responds; ]

Not the way I wanted it to, 'f that's what you're asking. Turns out they've got some heavy hitters for orderlies.

[peoplesprincess]

At least you fought; most people don't bother.

[watcherless]

Yeah? Not sure most people would call it a good thing that I did. Didn't really get me too far.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

Are you all right? Respond when you are able, or I shall ensure that steps are taken.

[voice]

[watcherless]

Five by five, chief. Couple bumps and bruises, nothing I can't handle. What's with these guys? Not exactly rolling out the welcome mat.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

[A slight pause, because good Lord, what is that slang?]

...Quite. They're representatives of a corporation called SERO; their task is to investigate the Core. They, unfortunately, see fit to do so by detaining and harassing those who are affected by the Core.

[voice]

[watcherless]

[ It's Faith-slang, Edgey. Buckle in. ]

You know where I come from, we just call that "kidnapping." Makes it pretty easy. And I'm guessing the big and uglies they've got working for 'em are the reason nobody's stuck it to SERO yet.

[audio]

[limitedrun]

SERO's testing the newcomers now too? Great.

Hope you at least got a hit in.

[audio]

[watcherless]

One or two good ones, sure. [ She sounds disappointed by it, though, and is probably beating the hell out of a wall -- mostly because getting nerfed by a Void? Worse than getting her ass kicked by the Beast and Angelus. Hella frustrating. Buffy would've got in more than one or two. ] What's a SERO?

[audio]

[limitedrun]

An asshole.

It's one of the major corporations on this island. They like poking their sticks where they don't belong all the time.

[audio]

[watcherless]

Caught that last part for myself, believe it or not. Somebody oughtta teach 'em to keep their sticks back in their pants.
