23 - video; B is gone, but the &*^%$ is back.

[A little after Dean's video, Faith appears on screen. She's behind the bar, same as last time, though there's no alcohol in sight. She has a smile on her face, as she twirls a pewter mug on the tip of her finger.] So B left the building, huh? Bet Dean's pretty happy with the little souvenir I ordered up from the Admiral, too. Should have some nice picks of blondie in there. Something for the whole fan club to fawn over.

But hey - guess that's one less nag I've got to worry about for Christmas Not exactly like she would have enjoyed her gifts anyway, right? Nothing's enough for the Slayer

Which is - wait - my title now, huh? I mean, what with miss perfect gone, and I'm the only Slayer left.  Anyone up for a spar? Sunnydale's strongest, right here.

[She tosses the mug up, and catches it. The pewter cracks in her hand, splinters digging.]

Shit.

[Have a very, very unamused hunter, Faith.]

You can shut your piehole any time, there, Sparky.

CTS. Now.

[Yeah he's calling BS on this one he even left it public.]

[audio]

[deadliestviper]

Way to phone it in.

[tatty_bye]

A good deal of love lost there, or no?

[hungryanhorny]

You wanna make me? 'Cause somehow, I don't see you crawling up here to try.

[hungryanhorny]

Why not?

[She'll be there.]

[audio]

[hungryanhorny]

You got a problem with me?

[hungryanhorny]

Didn't you hear? Me and B go years back.

[surfaceshine]

Oh honey, I'd have to crawl to come at you on your level.

I'd be happy to take on this particular debt from Buffy. Someone has to shut your chickenshit yap for you since I never heard this bullshit from you while she was around.

Problem, Winchester? Take it to the gym.

Faith.

[ There's just. A sigh. You can probably hear her facepalming. ]

We need to talk.

[Completely ignored, sorry Bruce.]

[tatty_bye]

So then the call for sparring partners is a means to exhaust some of the grief from your muscles, n'est pas?

[audio]

[deadliestviper]

Sweetie, you're the one who has a problem.

Don't.

[hungryanhorny]

Seems to be going around all of a sudden. [Following on the eves of Genevieve, this isn't going that well for Faith. It might be easier to tell in audio the strain in her voice.]

[hungryanhorny]

Never said we were friends, Reave. [They were.

Complicated. Her face might betray that, as it sets.]

So sue me.

[hungryanhorny]

Guess you weren't listening that hard, then. But hey, if you think you know blondie's shoes better than me...

[theonlyresponse]

She's lost someone. It's.. complicated.

[audio]

[hungryanhorny]

Thought I had a solution. No more blondie breathing down my neck.

[deadliestviper]

Everyone's lost someone, Bruce.

[tatty_bye]

[He kind of likes that nickname.]

So the sudden departure of an enemy leaves you with such copious reserves of pent-up aggression?

SPam

[ Doyle was over leaning against another part of the bar still trying to figure out how the Kindle Fire he was given for Christmas works when he heard Faith speaking her post.

It was a slow look up as if he couldn't even process what she had just said.]

What the hell? [ That was all he could say as he looked at her.]

I never said she's without blame. But this... isn't helping.
