'The Talk'
Who: Paige and Darlene
Where: Paige and Darlene's Apartment
When: 5/20, About 3 a.m.
Well, if we were to say Paige wanted to beat Dave about the head and shoulders with a CAR right now? That might be a severe understatement. Freakin' idiot. Paige had intended on bringing Darlene into the knowledge of their world slowly, calmly... NOT by letting her see a car wrap itself around her friend. So now, the statuesque brunette sat on the sofa, wearing Harley Davidson PJ bottoms and a cling white tank top. Waiting for Darlene to get home so they could finally have 'the talk'. Oh, joy.
Darlene wasn't afraid of Paige. Paige had never done ANYTHING to her that would have made her think that she would hurt Darlene. She'd had PLENTY of opportunity, if she wanted to do just that. However, she was still a little wigged at the idea of Paige being...whatever the hell that she was. Of course, Dave had to be Dave and just kind of throw the information at her. Darlene might kind of be head over heals for Dave, but she DID understand that he was an idiot. She slipped her key into the door and walked inside. "Um...hey, Paige," she said as she walked in.
"Well. If you're still on the wagon after what dumbass did in front of you, you're even stronger than *I* thought. C'mere and sit down, babe." Paige motioned to the other side of the sofa, and sighed. "So... I guess right now? Ask any questions you have. And I'll answer with brutal honesty."
"With all that's apparently out there, kind of thought it was smarter to stay sober." Damn if she hadn't wanted to, though. She sat down next to Paige. "Ok, first off, what are you? For that matter, what the hell is Dave? I've known him for years and NEVER saw shit like that before."
"Ok. Right. Well, I'm what's called a justice demon. I started out as human as you are. Then I got attacked by Meredith Delany, and while I was hurt, I got attacked by a vampire and turned into one." She paused, giving Darlene a minute to process this. "When I was a vampire, I was an even bigger bitch than I was as a human. I hurt a lot of people. And I finally paid for it. I got dusted, right after I'd been given a conscience for the first time in years."
"Ok, Justice Demon, right," Darlene said, listening to her. Her reputation as a bitch had been as legendary as Darlene's had been for being a drunk. She had been amazed that Paige had been so nice when she first actually met her. Now she had a hint as to why. "Apparently Jim saw you with teeth once?"
"Yeah. Well, after I got dusted, some kind of freaky wizard guy resurrected me, to be this." She motioned over herself. "Basically? Its now my job to protect people I once hurt. As for my teeth, well... That would be my true form now. If I show you, promise not to freak?"
"Can I absolutely promise not to freak?Not quite, but I promise I'll try my ass off not to.". Hey, at least Dar was being honest about it, right?
"Ok, just PLEASE remember this is still me." She sighed, shaking her head a few times before looking back at Darlene, eyes red and black, mouth distended, sharp, shark-like teeth filling her mouth.
Darlene did jump about a foot when the teeth and such appeared, but she didn't scream, which was a pretty good sign. "Wow...that's a lot of teeth." Yeah, obvious much?
Paige quickly changed back, not only for Darlene but because the vain part of her didn't like looking ugly. "So, yeah. Now. You wanted to know about Dave next?"
Darlene took a deep breath, both to calm herself and to fight the urge to bolt to the nearest bar and start ordering tequila slammers. "Yeah, Dave. What the hell's up with him?"
"No fucking idea. Apparently the moron is indestructible. Or at least damn-near. Worst part? He thought you KNEW. I was going to work you into this slowly, more or less help you figure it all out yourself." Paige practically facepalmed there. "Fuckin' Dave, man... Its a good thing he's such a good singer..."
"Yeah, I got to see him get hit by a car. Not fun," Darlene admitted. "He was kind of oblivious when it hit him, too. Guess he doesn't exactly feel it, either."
My guess? His mama smoked a LOT of crack when she was pregnant." Hey, Paige could still be bitchy!
Darlene laughed. "He even said something about his mother drinking a lot when she was pregnant," Darlene said. "Of course, then that would mean that *I* should be indestructible, too."
"Maybe your SPIRIT is indestructible." Paige replied with a smile. "You're a tough chick, babe. And if you want, I'll slowly teach you about ALL this stuff."
"Yeah, I think I need to learn about this stuff," Darlene said, a slight smile on her face. "Need to know all the fucking creeps to watch out for and who I can trust."
"Don't worry... you got a guardian demon now. Nothing's gonna hurt you. Plus? Now we know we can have ALL kinds of fun throwing shit at Dave with no chance of hurting him." And yes, that IS the first thing Paige thought of when she realized he was nigh-invulnerable.
Darlene laughed. "Oh yeah, we should totally start doing that. I can like, totally wail on him with a two by four and it won't hurt him at all, will it?"
"Fuck that, man... put a NAIL in it first!" Facepalm... Paige was SERIOUS here.
"Wouldn't want to break a good nail on his head," Darlene said with a cackle. But she was definitely coming up with a few ways to work out her frustration with him right now. This was probably a bad thing, but damn if it wouldn't be funny to watch.
