Open!
Lucian was staring up at the moon. Sitting very still on a bench in the old town, and staring up at the full moon. The fake full moon.

He frowned when he realised someone had come near and stopped. Turned his head and looked straight at that someone. "Yes?"

Faith had found her way to the old town, though she was trying to avoid the hotel. It crawled with the sense of something not right - not quite vampire as she was used to it, but she'd lay bets there were vampires there. Though this... might be worth the gauntlet of creepy-crawlies.

She was moving along one of the streets, keeping her footsteps light out of habit, when she spotted someone on a bench. Whether human or not, she wasn't sure, not here. Even if at home she'd have said he was either stupid or not a normal human, if he was human at all.

"Just looking." Faith shrugged in response to his question.

	The wind brought him a whiff of her scent, and he tilted his head at her as he stood. "You're something else," he noted. Yes, coming out of the supernatural closet, but he'd never stayed in in this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Faith raised an eyebrow a bit, the corner of her mouth curling up in a grin. "Slayer. You?" Not human, not if he could tell she wasn't entirely human herself. Not a vampire, either, that she was already certain of, but what... well, whatever he was, it wasn't making her senses crawl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lycan," he answered, and, "What's a Slayer?" Death Dealers he knew, but she was no vampire. Slayers, he'd never heard of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Vampire Slayer. I kill vampires and demons." Faith shrugged. "Cool extras, bad retirement plan. What's a Lycan?" Other than short for lycanthrope, which would be a werewolf; she did pay attention to Wesley's attempts to teach her about different sorts of demons. If he was a demon - she'd never heard a werewolf calling itself a lycan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The legends call us werewolves," Lucian answered. She killed vampires? He was right to think her smell set her apart. "Do I qualify as a demon?" he asked, curiously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You haven't tried to kill me yet or run away afraid I'll kill you, so no." Faith grinned, shoving her hands into her pockets. "Most demons back home know what the Slayer is, and they're scared of me or want me dead." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think it's fair to say we're not of the same world," he remarked, and regained his seat on the bench. "Care to join me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Faith looked thoughtful a moment, before shrugging, and sitting down. Sideways, with one foot up on the bench so she could face him. "I actually haven't run into anyone from home here." After a pause, she added, "Name's Faith." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lucian," he answered with a nod, and a faint, and really quite sad, smile. "And neither have I." He didn't offer his hand; it was no Lycan habit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't really notice the lack of handshake - she never shook hands at home, unless she was already sure someone was a vampire, and then it was just to get them close enough to stake. The smile made her tilt her head slightly to one side, her brows drawing together a bit. "Someone you wish was here?" she asked quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bornaslave 2009-09-01 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	He frowned at her, but there was a hint of a teasing spirit in his eyes, in the lingering curve of his lips. "Are Slayers mind readers, too?" For all he knew, they very well might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gauntletfaith 2009-09-01 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	Faith grinned, and shook her head. "Might avoid some of the shit I've been in if I could read minds." She shrugged. "Just projecting, maybe. You looked kinda sad about not running into anyone from home, that's all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bornaslave 2009-09-01 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I am," he confirmed. In this place, nothing mattered. It certainly didn't feel as if anything did. He was a Lycan without a cause, after having lived for one for so long. "I do not understand why I'm here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I've heard someone mention it's 'cause people who are dragged here need some down time, but..." Faith shook her head. "This time it dragged me here, I didn't need down time, I needed to get my hands on a certain bitch who kidnapped my Watcher." There was an underlying rage in her words, a possessive emphasis on the last two.

"So, yeah. Don't get why this place decided I needed to be here, instead of working on getting Wesley back."

	"That is a bitch," he agreed, and he didn't mean the kidnapper so much as the situation. Even worse than his, when he thought about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gauntletfaith 2009-09-01 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	Faith nodded, silent a moment as she shoved the rage back down. It wouldn't do her any good, since this place would send her home in its own sweet time. Asking after a moment, curious, "Who would you be looking for, here? That you miss from home?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bornaslave 2009-09-01 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Someone I've missed at home, too, for a long time," he answered. She looked young. Was she? He could not tell. "I don't think she'll come." It was probably best not to tell Faith that 'she' was a vampire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sucks." Faith gave him a commiserating smile. "This place is good at that, though. Gives you just about everything you want, except the people you want here to enjoy it with you." She was only just nineteen, though being the Slayer had thrown enough at her that she looked older. It was all in the eyes, experience haunting them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't say that it's given me anything I want," he replied, bemused. Probably because he did not really want anything anymore, apart from dying, if Sonya was not to join him here. "Still, while there is life, there is hope, they say. What's it given you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gauntletfaith 2009-09-01 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Place to stay, a gym to wreck." Faith shrugged. "Room to run, and a chance to drink." She wasn't enthusiastic about any of it, though it was all useful when she needed to take out frustrations with this place, and what had been going on back home when she ended up here.

	"It might be waiting for you to calm down, to send you back," he pointed out with a shrug. He'd heard stories about what this place could be like. "To think coolly, to be able to get your... Watcher - back." Had that been the word she'd used? Whatever it meant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Faith laughed, the sound devoid of amusement. "It'll be waiting a long while for that. Wesley - he's my Watcher - is the one who does planning. I just kill things."

Not entirely true, not when she was the one who made the choices about where they went, and why. Made the decisions on what plans they used. Even if the decisions left her with consequences she didn't like at all.

	"Who took him?" A 'bitch' did not tell him much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Lilah Morgan. Vampire lawyer, works for an evil law firm called Wolfram & Hart." Faith chuckled darkly. "She wasn't a vampire until we arranged to let the law firm take out Angelus. Who was a really sadistic son of a bitch. Leader of the Aurelius clan, who are probably the only actually organized group of vampires out there."

Of course, the way they took care of Angelus was probably why Lilah wanted to get back at them, and why she kidnapped Wesley.
