9th Dusting

[The camera begins opening on her naval area. She has on a loose top despite it's finally getting warm enough for her to reasonably do so - as such, her middrift is exposed. And with it is exposed something she got this time last month. It's a very deliberate showing (and a message about being willing to talk she hope she doesn't have to say outright), and she then jerks it back up to her face. As usually, she has about four earrings in and the nose stud, but her wings are exposed due to a lack of coat. The silver clip on her left wing and the tattoo she has on that same shoulder are thus both plainly visible.

And her expression... well she's trying to make it less hard than it maybe tends to be. Still, given her subject matter, it's still severe]

Four rutting kidnappings on this book in the last three days. Anyone spot that? Had to. [exhale]

Need some carrier pigeons. [Maybe she should request that if/when she gets a new mission. Yes, definitely should.]

...Everyone new, I'm Melaka Fray. Slayer- call me if you needed someone to punch things.

[Okay, so she's restless. Sue her. Azusa isn't here and she swore she heard a vamp on there too a while back. she's eager to fight something right now] ...Got any other recs, I'll hear those too. [That's more for friends or. Whoever.] For stuff doing, I mean.

[ might take her a little longer. she's coming from the beach-side of the barracks -- and so eventually warps in through the transporter. a little overnight bag on her shoulder.

she signals the other slayer from a ways off. ]

[makeitquick]

[Wave, hi. She's just in her clothes and didn't bring more than a few cautionary weapons. Yo. She'll just waltz on over to break the distance]

[herotypical]

You saw it too -- right? [ closing in. ]

[makeitquick]

Saw what. [And she stops here to fold her arms]

[herotypical]

The way way freaky ritual-a-thon over the journals, before. And the animals -- at night? Have you been coming across them?

[makeitquick]

Some, yeah. [she likes to stick in town, so she's probably seen decisively less]

Saw that slaughter.

[herotypical]

Survey says...?

[makeitquick]

Lurk. Got 'em to tell me lurk. Dunno what the are.

[herotypical]

I don't know why I'm having such a tough time tracking it down.

[makeitquick]

Took me months to find Harth.

[herotypical]

[ sigh.

she hates that it's true. ]

I'm just -- I don't want us to be caught with our stakes down and a body on the street.

[makeitquick]

[She nods her own agreement, but this actually begs the question-] We dusting it?

[herotypical]

We dusting it. I mean -- yes, we are gonna dust it. Or at least figure out some sort of more permanent solution if the weekly staking gets out of hand. This dude or dudette hasn't tried to reach out and identify itself so I'm assuming it's not one of my two undustables.

[makeitquick]

Seems you said dusting caused problems. [But she approves, so she doesn't press the point too much. Just folds her arms, looking all grim like]

[herotypical]

This one's just really pissing me off. It doesn't change the fact that we're gonna have to find a more permanent solution than staking.

[makeitquick]

Any ideas for that? [She has some but... Buffy's the boss]

[herotypical]

I have a hare-brained scheme. It involves missions and points and a physical Shift. Y'know, on the vamp's body.

[makeitquick]

...Meaning? Soul?

[herotypical]

A soul might be a little too big of an order. I'm thinking...chip?

[makeitquick]

-What's a chip?

[herotypical]

A little thing the government once tried putting in the head of some vampires. Behaviour modification stuff -- zapped'em with a serious case of the migraines whenever one tried to hurt someone.

[makeitquick]

...Jesu, there's tech for that in the 21st? I could- [Use that. Harth.

She feels small again. Don't dwell on it]

[herotypical]

...The government has it. I'm sure the Malnosso could duplicate it.

[makeitquick]

Heard you the first time 'bout the govvers. [but a sigh. No, don't dwell on it] ...How much you fig we gotta work for it?

[herotypical]

Probably a lot. I mean -- a physical Shift? To someone else? Against their will?

We might be able to get some help. Pool points. If it's allowed.
