Cabot & Associates: Monday

[bigbadgunn.livejournal.com]

The job took an odd turn for Gunn today. Not because some demon creature had ransacked the building and tried to attack him as he came into the office... No. Gunn would actually be able to handle that.

No, today Gunn got a modded note from Alex asking him to research annulment criteria for the state of Virginia. After spending two minutes staring at all the damn books that he thought he'd have to go through to find this information, he turned to his friend "Google" to figure out the basics.

Gosh, it was almost like he was working.

Hands on her hips, Faith stopped in front of a familiar person.

"My god, Gunn, do you work now?"

She had been forgetting to hunt the guy down for a while now. Well, she wasn't going to keep doing that. Actually, Faith had spotted him entering some time earlier by chance, and after wandering the streets she had managed to make up her mind.

She might or might not smell of cigarettes.

Gunn looked up at the woman in front of him with an expression that could be best described as "Buh?"

Not that he didn't mind attractive women coming in to talk to him, he just had no idea who this girl was yet.

"It's more like a program to keep me out of trouble," He said cautiously. "And don't take this the wrong way... but have we met?"

There was a second of silent staring, and then Faith raised a hand. "No. No. No. Stop talking. Right there. Just a second." She used her free hand to facepalm, hard. What the fuck?!?!?! Can someone of this bloody island that I know have the consideration of knowing me, please?

That out of her chest -mentally-, Faith turned back at Gunn. "The name's Faith."

...

"I hate timelines."

"Join the club," Gunn said with a mild look of distaste/sympathy. "Just please tell me you don't know some girl with blue hair and eyes with no social skills."

Illryia had already broken his brain one too many times.

The WTF was written all over her face now. "What...Illriya?" That was a name she hadn't heard in a quite some time. And Faith was honestly surprised she remembered it, considering how she hadn't really gotten to meet the girl properly, besides the little communication she had managed to keep with Angel's group.

"Don't tell me she's here too. And trusting her, she doesn't have the finest idea of who I am. Well, we didn't really met so." Really now, being ahead of everyone's timelines -not that Faith actually knew that yet- was starting to get old. And unpractical.

"Was here," Gunn said with a shake of his head. "Blabbed about a whole future where I cause a whole bunch of problems to boot. I'm guessing you're from my future too?"

[Sorry! LJ ate my comment.]

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

"Huh, apparently I'm form everyone's future, or something." Was he talking about Los Angeles being on fire? And also being the new subsidiary of Hell, mind you. Yeah, he was probably talking about that. How did the policy go? He could talk when they asked?

"You do some stuff yeah, but I've been already warned about not telling stuff to the people I know from my time and all that nonsense." She couldn't help but eye Gunn for a moment. "What's going on on your time at the moment?"

[bigbadgunn.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's a bit appreciated on my end," Gunn said gratefully. "And where I come from I just left my gang back home to go to school here."

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

"Not spoiling the fun for you then. And...holy f-" Was Gunn the kind of person she should keep her tongue controlled around? "All I can say is that it's going to be a while until we meet...like, over there." Did I mention I was a psychopathic bitch? No? Aw, sorry.

Well, this hasn't come out quite like she was thinking it should. "Eh, do you at least go on patrols?"

[bigbadgunn.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Been hitting the graveyard and other spots on the island now and then," Gunn replied now wondering just exactly the circumstances of how he meets this girl. "So I take it that you're down with the hunting of all things bloodsucking evil? Cuz considering you were about to drop the f-bomb I doubt you're from a law firm in my future."

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

"Huh...right. Oh, dammit, right! You don't know. Yet. " He had said 'f-bomb' after all, damn.

"Look, I'm a Slayer. So yeah, I'm hunting of all things bloodsucking evil business, and beyond."

[bigbadgunn.livejournal.com]

"All right, you do know that I grew up in LA, right?" Gunn said now chuckling at Faith. "Why the fuck are you censoring yourself?"

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

...Well, alright.

"Now, see, you can't just pull that sort of shit with me." Ah, that felt good. "I'm a frigging teacher, for cryin' out loud; been censoring myself like crazy likely. But is good to know I can talk more like myself with someone, for a change."

[bigbadgunn.livejournal.com]

"You teach that kicking ass class for newbies, right?" Gunn asked. "Haven't heard of this slayer kick but the name makes it self-explanatory. And if you feel the need to cut loose, feel free to drop by here anytime. I won't judge."

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

"That's the one. And a Slayer is...built for killing. There's magic involved and what-not, a lot of complicated stuff. And there is only one, so another has to die for a new one to get called. But the other Slayer messes with everything, so she's alive too...a fine mess, I'd say."

She was so coming again.

"Female killing machine to take down the things that go bump in the night?" Gunn said with a little chuckle. "Okay, I'm down with that. Feels good to know there's another one out there who's not too friendly with the vampires."
