Firecracker:

Byte Me:
Hey Faith
Byte Me:

The Cursed One:
friday? interesting name...
Byte Me:
What's even more interesting is that my last name is Black
The Cursed One:
ooookay
The Cursed One:
your mother had a sense of humor i take it?
Byte Me:
Actually, my Dad
Firecracker:
day, i still think someone in your family should've been called hole
Firecracker:
Hole Black
Byte Me:
I have half siblings named Holly (Hole), Jack and Katerina (Kat)
Firecracker:
and then on school forms, it would be Black, Hole
Firecracker:
awesome! there is a hole!
The Cursed One:
kat black has a nice ring to it
The Cursed One:
i'm sam, by the way
The Cursed One:
nice to meet you
Byte Me:
nice to meet you too
Firecracker:
sams always been attracted to the weird girls
The Cursed One:
ok now i'm interested to know what you guys got up to last night
Firecracker:
who me?
Byte Me:
Really?
The Cursed One:
yes you, you and my brother
Byte Me:
Sorry to disappoint but I'm taken...
Byte Me:
hehe
Firecracker:
nothing happened
The Cursed One:
interesting, seeing as i haven't seen him all morning
Firecracker:
neither have i...
The Cursed One:
must have slept in the car
Firecracker:
ahem
Byte Me:
lol
Firecracker:
yeah, thats probably why he might have a sore back
Firecracker:
coz of the car
The Cursed One:
i doubt it, he's used to sleeping in the car by now
The Cursed One:
we do live in it after all
The Cursed One:
so friday...
The Cursed One:
how do you two know each other?
Byte Me:
mmmyes?
Byte Me:
we're in the same... business?
The Cursed One:
oh yeah?
Firecracker:
shes a slayer too
Byte Me:
oh he knows?
Byte Me:
Cool
The Cursed One:
oh okay
Firecracker:
yeah, we ran into each other
Byte Me:
rightio then
The Cursed One:
sounds familiar
The Cursed One:
so are you based anywhere, friday?
Byte Me:
Cleveland at the moment
Byte Me:
attending the slayer school
Byte Me:
after I grad I'm gonna go travelling with my bf Eron
Byte Me:
He's a paladin - or going to be anyway
The Cursed One:
...paladin?
The Cursed One:
slayer school?
Byte Me:
Hmm about a year ago a slayer school was started
Byte Me:
because there are a few hundred more than just one slayer in the
world at a time now
The Cursed One:
okay...
Byte Me:
so that's where I go
Firecracker:
kinda makes the originals (me) feel less original
The Cursed One:
i'm new to the whole 'slayer' thing
Byte Me:
and nearby is a paladin school that just moved into the neighbourhood
The Cursed One:
though not so much in killing vampires
Firecracker:
yeah, you need to feel your way through it
Firecracker:
dean did
The Cursed One:
tmi
Byte Me:
It's run by "The Order of Light", and apparently they've been around
for hundred of years
The Cursed One:
what's paladin?
The Cursed One:
i take it not just a name
Byte Me:
they're holy warriors
The Cursed One:
never heard of them
Byte Me:
they have powers given them by God, blah blah blah
Firecracker:
which is surprising, sam, you were always a reader
Byte Me:
well, they try to stay under the radar - they don't do what they do
for personal glory
The Cursed One:
faith, i'm willing to bet that about 90% of anything my brother told
you about me is probably a lie
Firecracker:
what makes you think dean and i spoke about you? or spoke at all?
The Cursed One:
because you're having a hard time changing topics...?
Byte Me:
I have a feeling I'm missing something....
Firecracker:
haha
Firecracker:
dean and i were kinda friends i guess, way back when
The Cursed One:
she and my brother took off after we took care of a vampire nest last
night
The Cursed One:
and let's just say, he has a way with the ladies
Firecracker:
i dont know what you're implying, sam
The Cursed One:
i'm implying that either the two of you will never talk again, or
you'll be seeing a lot more of each other
The Cursed One:
there's really no middle ground with dean
The Cursed One:
dean is my brother by the way, friday
Byte Me:
ooooooh waaaaa
Firecracker:
haha yeah, no theres not
Firecracker:
man, he used to, or rather, still does, infuriate me
Byte Me:
That much I'd gathered
The Cursed One:
of course he does
Firecracker:
we used to fight like you wouldnt believe, day
Firecracker:
when we were kids, we were always fighting about something
Byte Me:
I see
The Cursed One:
it's a talent of his, to annoy people
Byte Me:
hahaha
Firecracker:
yeah, thinking about him now, i just want to punch his smug little
face in
Byte Me:
Well, if you ever want me to turn him intoa girl in revenge for
you.. more than happy to oblige mwahaha
The Cursed One:
what?
Byte Me:
I have the power of "sex change"
Byte Me:
It's very fun
Byte Me:
and effective in throwing vamps off balance in fights *nods*
The Cursed One:
sounds interesting
Firecracker:
also effective in getting boys pregnant?
The Cursed One:
wow
Byte Me:
MWAHAHAHAHA
Byte Me:
yes, yes it is
Firecracker:
haha
Byte Me:
I have proof too, for that matter
The Cursed One:
dean pregnant is really something i can't imagine
Byte Me:
her name is Elektra
Firecracker:
that would be both disturbing and hilarious
Byte Me:
hehe
The Cursed One:
so how long have you guys been doing what you're doing?
Firecracker:
since i was 16
Byte Me:
same
The Cursed One:
wow
The Cursed One:
we don't hear of many girls starting that early
Firecracker:
thats when you get called, typically
The Cursed One:
oh right, the slayer thing
Firecracker:
yeah
Firecracker:
which is why i pretty much vanished when i was 16
The Cursed One:
i don't remember that, sorry
Byte Me:
well, we've have some slayers at the school that are like, 13
Firecracker:
no thats alright, we werent all that close
Firecracker:
yeah but willows spell enabled any girl who couldve been called, any
girl who had it inside of them, to have access to that strength
Firecracker:
so you'll probably be getting young ones
Byte Me:
yeah
The Cursed One:
witch?
Firecracker:
its all a matter of timing, if kendra had died any earlier, or any
later, then i probably wouldnt've been called
Firecracker:
yeah, witch, well wiccan
Firecracker:
so a good witch
The Cursed One:
oh okay
The Cursed One:
i've only ever really dealt with bad ones
Firecracker:
she was bad at one point
Firecracker:
god, i wish i'd been there to see that
Byte Me:
lol
Byte Me:
evil Willow... this thought amuses me
Firecracker:
it was pretty awesome, apparently
Firecracker:
well... like not awesome in the conventional way
Byte Me:
heh
The Cursed One:
glad i wasn't there
Firecracker:
i was in jail
The Cursed One:
jail, not great
Firecracker:
actually, i mean... ate the same thing everyday, it was kinda like
when i grew up, only less beatings
The Cursed One:
we had variety at green county... dean liked the chicken
The Cursed One:
i wasn't that hungry
Firecracker:
dean adapts well, i think
The Cursed One:
tell me about it
The Cursed One:
he was like the yard gossip the second day we were there
Byte Me:
lol
The Cursed One:
thankfully we didn't stay long, we only got in to help a friend out
with a spirit problem
Firecracker:
i was in for a few years
The Cursed One:
he managed to bust us out
Firecracker:
yeah i just jumped through that glass window when you get visitors
Firecracker:
OOC: by the way, most awesome jail break ever, like ever
Firecracker:
IC:
Byte Me:
interesting
Firecracker:
yeah, but i had a friend to save
The Cursed One:
makes sense then
Byte Me:
true
The Cursed One:
we had to get out or dean would be up for the death sentence
The Cursed One:
i don't know if he told you anything...
Firecracker:
no...
Byte Me:
yikes
The Cursed One:
okay well
The Cursed One:
we had a minor shapeshifter problem a while ago
The Cursed One:
one changed into dean and killed a few people, so the cops were after
him for a few murders
The Cursed One:
then they sorta caught onto our fake credit card trail somehow
Firecracker:
i kinda wish a shapeshifter had done that to me, rather than, you
know, me actually killing someone
Byte Me:
lol
The Cursed One:
then we ran into another damn shapeshifter pulling bank heists in
milwaukee, and this guy who sorta knew what was going on felt the
need to lock us all in the milwaukee bank to find out who was doing it
The Cursed One:
so of course the cops showed because he was an amateur, and that guy
got killed so we had to take over the fake heist (otherwise the cops
would have caught us for sure)
The Cursed One:
suddenly the fbi turns up and this guy knows we were there
The Cursed One:
hendricksen his name is
The Cursed One:
so he's kinda been after us ever since
Firecracker:
yeah, i've been more or less hiding out since... i broke out
The Cursed One:
and when we ended up in green river county jail to help deacon out,
he was ther elike within the day so we were lucky we got out at all
Firecracker:
not so much now that angel has been taking care of the legal work for
me
The Cursed One:
oh and we sorta escaped a jail in baltimore too, but there was a
death omen there we had to deal with so the cop let us off when she
found out
The Cursed One:
that's the gist
Firecracker:
sounds like you guys have been leading interesting lives
The Cursed One:
not quite the word i'd use, but that sorta covers it
Firecracker:
yeah, i more or less stayed in jail for about... 5 years? something
like that
The Cursed One:
you didn't think of busting out or anything?
The Cursed One:
sorry we're kinda running the conversation, friday
Byte Me:
haha that's okay
Byte Me:
you're old friends, I get that
Firecracker:
i did, but i felt i belonged there, i did something wrong, so i stayed
The Cursed One:
sorta but not really...
Firecracker:
like i said, i only broke out to save the one person... well vampire,
but with a soul... that never gave up on me
The Cursed One:
vampire with a soul?
Firecracker:
yeah
Firecracker:
sounds weird, i know, i had a hard time adjusting to it
The Cursed One:
i've met a couple of those i think
The Cursed One:
they wouldn't attack humans
Firecracker:
he was cursed with by a gypsy tribe
The Cursed One:
we had to kinda save them from this crazed vamp hunter
Firecracker:
yeah, hes kinda like my sponsor
The Cursed One:
cool
Firecracker:
its crazy to have run into you again
The Cursed One:
very
The Cursed One:
after all this time
The Cursed One:
and with you being a slayer, you'd think it would have happened sooner
Firecracker:
well i died
The Cursed One:
but i guess i mean, we keep running into random hunters all the time
so
Firecracker:
and ive been all over the place
The Cursed One:
ah
Byte Me:
and I grew up in Australia!
Firecracker:
haha
Byte Me:
(just throwing my two cents in)
The Cursed One:
i can see the formation of an 'i died' club happening in the near
future
The Cursed One:
australia would have been cool
Firecracker:
yeah "I died, but I'm still pretty"
The Cursed One:
i've never been overseas unfortunately, and don't htink i will
The Cursed One:
haha i don't know about the pretty part
The Cursed One:
i got stabbed...
Firecracker:
i've been training all over the world in each countries specific
fighting style
The Cursed One:
sounds great
Firecracker:
same, actually, well ive been stabbed and i died by having my throat
slit
The Cursed One:
mine was a cut spinal cord
Firecracker:
bet dean went a bit crazy after that?
The Cursed One:
i don't remembe rmuch
The Cursed One:
ah... yeah
The Cursed One:
ever heard of selling your soul at the crossroads?
Firecracker:
ah
The Cursed One:
like the robert johnson legend
The Cursed One:
yeah
The Cursed One:
we're counting down a year right now
Firecracker:
things are crazy
The Cursed One:
yeah
The Cursed One:
don't tell dean i told you
Firecracker:
i wont
The Cursed One:
not many people know
The Cursed One:
he's just starting to freak out over it
Firecracker:
if we revert back to childhood, we'll be too busy arguing to talk
about anything serious
Byte Me:
lol
The Cursed One:
probably
Firecracker:
trust me, day, he would drive you mental
The Cursed One:
maybe they should meet some day
The Cursed One:
we're always on the road, so we very well might
Firecracker:
yeah, i sometimes miss having a stable home, la is the closest thing
i have to that, and im hardly ever there
The Cursed One:
i kinda miss stanford...
The Cursed One:
but those days are long gone
The Cursed One:
gotta move on i guess
Firecracker:
yeah, you have to, otherwise you stagnate
Byte Me:
and I have so totally nothing to say
Byte Me:
lol
Firecracker:
haha
Firecracker:
hows the school?
The Cursed One:
yeah this is getting depressing
Byte Me:
The school is good
Byte Me:
We have sparring class
Byte Me:
and sparring class is awesome
The Cursed One:
what kind of stuff do you do there exactly?
Byte Me:
normal school work tied in with all sort of loving demon fighting
classes
The Cursed One:
you guys fight demons too?
Firecracker:
i should probably come back and teach another class, hey?
Firecracker:
yeah
Firecracker:
"one girl (well not really now) born in all the world, she alone will
stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness"
Firecracker:
thats basically how the legend goes...
Firecracker:
although now its "a whole heap of girls born in all the world..."
Byte Me:
hehehe
The Cursed One:
sorta like a prodigy then
Firecracker:
i'll talk to willow and giles, and see if they want me back
Byte Me:
bah who cares if they want youy back?
Byte Me:
I want you back
Firecracker:
haha
Byte Me:
You're the awesomeest teacher
Byte Me:
although Melaina's pretty cool too - slayer and domsectic science
teacher
Byte Me:
she can slice and dice like no one else
Firecracker:
haha
Firecracker:
im working on honing all my skills at the moment
Firecracker:
so maybe in a few months
The Cursed One:
i'm finding it hard to imagine a school that teaches stuff like
killing demons
The Cursed One:
every hunter i know lives a backroads life, you know
Firecracker:
we're girls for a reason
Firecracker:
so we can fit in and take them by surprise
Byte Me:
hehe
Firecracker:
although
Firecracker:
they know that slayers are all girls
Firecracker:
but typically, vampires tend to try and overpower girls
The Cursed One:
true
Byte Me:
I can throw them off by turning me into a boy
Firecracker:
so im thinking thats why it was made like that
Byte Me:
it's all good
Byte Me:
hehe
The Cursed One:
most of the vampire victims i've seen were all female
The Cursed One:
pretty sexist really
The Cursed One:
not that we haven't had our brushes with them
Firecracker:
yeah, you tend to run into them a lot
Firecracker:
theyre always popping up
The Cursed One:
our dad told us they were almost extinct
The Cursed One:
we're thinking he didn't visit this part of the country much
Firecracker:
theyre everywhere, trust me, most arent as brazen as the ones here
Byte Me:
heh
The Cursed One:
yeah so i figure
The Cursed One:
we met one a while ago? turning teenage girls and calling them
his 'daughters'
The Cursed One:
must have made a dozen rogues then just set them loose
The Cursed One:
he tricked them by telling them he had a new drug on the market
The Cursed One:
that just happened to be vampire blood
The Cursed One:
it was kinda tragic
Firecracker:
sometimes i think people who fall for that deserve to be turned
Firecracker:
then im reminded that no one deserves it, blah blah
Firecracker:
stupid watcher
Byte Me:
haha
The Cursed One:
watcher?
Firecracker:
yeah every slayer has a watcher
Firecracker:
the watcher trains them
Firecracker:
and... watches, basically
Firecracker:
mine fights though
Byte Me:
I think it's a little perverted myself
Firecracker:
not very well, mind you, sometimes i think he's a bit retarded
Byte Me:
lol
Firecracker:
you guys will probably be getting a better batch of waters
Firecracker:
watchers even
Firecracker:
the old watchers council was very stuffy and british
Byte Me:
haha
Firecracker:
and they never fought
Firecracker:
giles broke that tradition
The Cursed One:
giles?
The Cursed One:
i feel like a parrot
Firecracker:
yeah, he runs the slayer school
Firecracker:
he was... the slayer before me, well, before the one before me, he
was her watcher
The Cursed One:
oh okay
The Cursed One:
man i have so much to fill dean in on
Firecracker:
somehow i think he'll struggle with the fact that the girl from high
school he once knew is now part of this weird twisted legacy
The Cursed One:
yeah i think so too
Byte Me:
haha
The Cursed One:
but then again he might be getting used to things like that...
Firecracker:
yeah thats true
Firecracker:
after awhile, things like this kinda roll off your back
Firecracker:
like me, so unfazed by the fact you hunt demons and stuff
The Cursed One:
yeah
Firecracker:
also, was unfazed to learn about aliens
The Cursed One:
wait, what?
Firecracker:
yeah
Firecracker:
aliens are real too
The Cursed One:
you're kidding
Firecracker:
but when you think about it, it makes sense
Firecracker:
i mean, if you believe in demons and the like, you gotta think that
maybe everything is real
Byte Me:
*raises hand* alien hybrid
Firecracker:
*raises hand* was married to an alien
Firecracker:
haha
Byte Me:
haha
Firecracker:
and my daughter (well one of them) is a half alien
