[Video; reacting to Buffy's death.]

[hungryanhorny]

[The room about Faith is a shambles; she hit something. said thing didn't take it well.

From the looks of it, she hit it again.]

Don't tell me.

[She hesitates, looking at the ground.]  I don't wanna know; who hurt B.


[If she finds out, if she gets her hands on him, she doesn't think she'll be able to stop herself.]

[Having shut himself off and shut himself down because it's the only way Dean isn't doing exactly what Faith is doing right now, he sounds more like his father than he ever has when he comes snapping over the network. His eyes are hard and shallow, his voice harsh and unyielding. There's no room for the kind of anger he's housing anywhere outside his skull. Nowhere safe, anyway, so he gets it, but.]

Hey! Calm down. That's not helping a damn thing.

[hungryanhorny]

And what is!? [She's angry; angry at him, angry at... everything, right now. Because this? This is showing restraint; with her strength, boosted by her temper, this is barely a scratch on what she really could be doing...

Because what she really wants to be doing - what she's stopping herself from doing - is finding the guy, and doing this to him.

She already knows if she gets her hands on him, she's not stopping...]

[surfaceshine]

[Dean gets it. He does. He's angry, he's seen anger in his brother, his father, twenty two years of unrequited, homicidal, suicidal anger with nothing to aim at, and now this. After all of it, this.

He doesn't even flinch.]

There's nowhere for the guy to go. He's not getting away. She'll be back.

So again: calm down.

[hungryanhorny]

Yeah? Screw it. Tell her I said hi. [Damn why doesn't she keep some alcohol in her room? But if she can't drink - she'd hate herself in the morning for it anyhow - and she can't fight - Buffy would hate right along side her - then she's going to damn well be caustic.]

[surfaceshine]

Tell her yourself, but not until you can act like a damn adult.

[hungryanhorny]

Great advice, Dean. Keep it in mind.

Something wrong?

The whole... Thing.

Not like this is the first time, I guess...

Re: Video:

[hungryanhorny]

This sorta thing happen often?

Re: Video:

[acid_rayne]

Every now and then. Somehow, almost always when I'm not aware or able to help.

Reached the 'fuck it' stage long ago.

[hungryanhorny]

Yeah? Good on you. [But she doesn't wanna talk about it.]

[demigoddess]

Faith? I'm not sure how much more your stuff can take.

[ Cassie's missing details, sure, but she knows someone has caused quite a commotion on the ship, and knows this is what Faith is reacting to. And she definitely understands why the room is a disaster. ]

How about an outlet that you can't break? [ This might be a stupid offer, but Cassie really doesn't want Faith chasing after a murder right now. At the very least, she'd hopefully be able to blow off a lot of steam. ]

[hungryanhorny]

You offering? [It's caustic; sarcastic. But she needs it, too, and that shines through - something she can take all this out on without it shattering under her. Because she doesn't feel like she can hold on.]

[demigoddess]

After our brawl at the pool, how could I resist? [ So yes. That's a yes. ]

[hungryanhorny]

...You're serious? [She frowned. eyeing the phone.] Not exactly the best girl to mess with right now, Cass...

[demigoddess]

I'll take my chances.

So if you want to meet me, I'll be in the gym.

[hungryanhorny]

[She hangs up; but... she'd be there.

Probably.]
