crossing_lostrp | [Faith] Weirder than Sunnyhell? Hell yeah (tag George, Daniel, Locke, open)

(Grim Reaper?) Faith thought, (There’s one I haven’t heard before. Takes all kinds, I guess.)

“A. Grim. Reaper?” Daniel was trying hard, but Faith could hear – and see – the man’s disbelief. And if she could see it when she had only just met him, she supposed he was a lot like a siren going off to George. (And John too,) Faith decided as she cast a glance at the other man, noting his stoic face and calm acceptance of George’s words.

Faith shook her head, but grinned lazily at Daniel, “All that vampire stuff just went right over your head didn’t it?” She turned the amused grin to George, “Always thought you were supposed to have a black cape and a wicked sickle. Be a skeleton too, but I guess that’s right up there with vampires turning into bats, huh? Except Dracula. I hear he did the whole bat and smoke thing.”

“Vampires?” Daniel asked, with that same level tone which said that he wasn’t precisely certain how serious to take Faith’s – or George’s words – or how not seriously to take them.

With a sigh, Faith rolled her shoulders. If George was really a Grim Reaper (and wouldn’t Giles and Wes be all over that like the clap on a cheap ho), then her supernatural weirdness couldn’t be anything to hide. (‘Sides, the Doc told me to tell them my story.) She looked mostly at Daniel, but included John and George in her gaze, “Pay attention, ‘cause I’m only gonna say this once. Vampires are real. Demons are real. All those things that go bump in the night that you think were just kid stories and scary movie shit, all of it’s real. And if all that’s real, who’s to say that our girl Georgie isn’t all about what she says she is?

“But for the record, Georgie, considering that those two Watchers had threatened to put a friend of mine outta commission if I didn’t play their reindeer games, I don’t really give a damn if they do stay trapped in their rotting bodies for the rest of eternity. But Johnson and the pilot, they don’t deserve that.”
