[redeems]

( he could play this any way. but there are many reasons why no response would be a response. even ms. having more fun than her first go-round, she still has her attitude. )

I'm surprised, I get a jail out of free card, I would probably be talking to anybody I could.

Well, anybody recognizable.

( have you gone to jail yet? )

[stake]

[ She hasn't gone to jail yet — not back home, and not here, which is what she assumes he's alluding to. ]

yeah well, ur not me

and i wouldn't call trial by literal fire a get outta jail free card

[redeems]

( he is, indeed. and this was three years ago at this point.

trial by fire could be anything. it could be her disappearing from sunnydale high. it could be buffy personally deciding it's faith's blood that could cure her. or whatever it was she did back in sunnydale and god how much he does not care about that right now. )

Yours or mine?

Because, from what I remember, it was yours. You made your way up and down the torture techniques. It was actually inspired. Until you fell apart in the rain.

Any of this ringing a bell?

[stake]

u had me in the first half
that almost sounded just like me until the sappy ending

but hey, points for effort

[redeems]

( interesting. ooh. )

Did you come here from mid-Wes-torture-death-wish, Faith?

[stake]

who, wesley???
i haven't seen the guy since he bailed on sunnydale, i'm guessing around the same time u did

[redeems]

Or, did you come here from leaving behind a very pissed off slayer who followed you to LA

Thanks for that, by the way

[stake]

i was minding my business in LA

not my fault blondie doesn't know how to quit when she's ahead

[redeems]

You accepted a contract hit out on me. That doesn't sound like minding my business to me. Big limo. Trashed rando at Port Authority.

[stake]

sounds like u made some enemies with deep pockets
a girl's gotta eat

[redeems]

And terrorize Angel's ex like it's going out of style. I still don't actually know what happened between you two but GOD did she come in hot. He shut her down so hard. You should've seen that girl's heart break. He protected you like a wounded animal. To save you.

Do you believe you need saving, Faith?

Do you believe you're worth saving?

[stake]

[ Faith's defensive instincts have her speed-typing a response about Buffy stabbing her and leaving her to rot, but we don't call it terrorizing when it's the golden girl, do we? — and then her mind catches up with her hands.

Angel's ex.

He shut her down.

He must think she's an idiot. ]

nice try but no way am i falling for that act again

[redeems]

( well, he tried. he tested the waters. this is going to go great because this double negative will save him when the time comes. )

Alright, you got me, I was trying to give you the hardsell, hold a mirror up. From my calculations, you're from your first night in town where you left a trail of bodies and stole an apartment.

That was a volatile time.

I really don't know what you did to Buffy. I don't regret ( ugh ) standing up for you. I protected you, Faith. Ultimately, it was you who turned yourself in.

[stake]

i didn't steal an apartment, i was just crashing there

you backing me over buffy doesn't sound like you any more than turning myself in sounds like me
nice try again but ur 0 for 2

[redeems]

With keys you stole.

Tell me what you did to Buffy

[stake]

nothing she didn't do to me first
why are u asking me and not her?

[redeems]

I'm not talking to her.

Faith, I'll never believe you're too far gone. You haven't even gone on your torture spree.

[stake]

it's not too late
you wanna be my first stop?

[redeems]

( well, this is getting good. he can work with this. this started perfectly. everything's coming up angelus. )

Who hurt you?

[stake]

[ uhhh wtf does he mean by that 😡😡 ]

i'm five by five, actually
looks to me like ur the one with a problem
just cuz B found herself a new vamp doesn't mean i'm gonna be your rebound slayer

[redeems]

( what? who? well. )

Soldier Boy was as green and human as they come. Tossed him around like a china doll.

[stake]

oh shit
u didn't know?

[ oop 🙊 ]

peep the icon, irony

[redeems]

( well, spike is here. but he also knows there's a vampire population. as far as he knows (angel knows), spike did help out while she was dead. it was the last he'd heard of him, though. could it be that easy?

time to be standoffish )

What don't I know, Faith?

[stake]

turns out when it comes to tall, dark, and handsome, she could take or leave the first 2

[redeems]

What's that supposed to mean?

( just spell it out! is this a riddle?? )
