001: video

[avephoenix]

Hi, everyone!

[For a video being shot in the middle of a zombie invasion, the redhead onscreen sure looks cheerful. Is it because she's in Delight's bar, or because she's having fun fighting the undead horde?

Both. And then some.]

I'm Faith, I just got here a few days ago. Lucky me, right? Well, no, I really am, 'cause a friend of mine from home's been here for months now.

[She shifts her phone so Kate appears on the screen, casually fighting a few zombies.

When Faith turns the camera back on herself, she is mid giggle.]

Anyway! We've picked up another roomie and moved into a house, and I think that calls for a party.

So! Delight's been good enough to lend the bar for it! [Hence why she and Kate are currently defending it from the undead.

Well, okay, no. They just wound up here, but Faith's pretty sure Delight appreciates people protecting her contribution to the city's entertainment.]

Now's not a good time, I know, but once these little bastards are gone, we should all get together and celebrate! 'Cause we survived, and 'cause I really do still want a housewarming.

So how 'bout... a week from today? If the zombies are still 'round then, I'll reschedule. [Because that's... how living here works...?] Oh, and if you can sing, d'you want to? Delight says some of you are good at that!

[She glances offscreen -- at Kate, probably -- then back at the camera, shrugging.] Time to get back to work. Let me know, yeh? I'll answer you soon as I can. Bye!

[She blows a kiss and gives a little wave before the feed cuts out.]

[Don't worry, Nick. Even if the zombies get in (and one or two might have... oops), Kate and Faith will keep them away from you and the bar. You and the liquor are important!]

Oh, you don't have to bartend it if you don't want! [She says this glancing over her shoulder, and as soon as she's done, she kicks a zombie right in the chest, then delivers a strong blow to its head. The spray of guts is... well. Gross. But it's dead!] Delight's so excited I think she might bartend herself just for the fun of it!

[bekommen]

[Jesus Chris, why is this her life. That is a huge mess she's probably gonna have to clean up all by herself, isn't it. Nick scowls deeply.]

Well, good for me, I guess, I get a night off.

[She doesn't sound happy about it at all, though. But maybe she won't take the night off after all - not entirely.]

What kinda singing did you want for this thing?

[avephoenix]

[Nick is neither the first nor the last person to ask herself that after meeting Faith. Sorry!]

That's the spirit!

[Don't worry, Faith sounds happy enough for both of them.]

Oh, any kind, really, so long as it's fun.

[The sad thing is she really could be more vague.]

[bekommen]

It would be nice if we had actual music in this place. I mean, I used to sing, but it was in a band. Never done the solo thing before, unless you count karaoke.

[avephoenix]

Ooh we can probably do karaoke. I bet we can do it! Somehow.

[Faith will find a way!

But just in case she doesn't--] Maybe you can sing with someone else if that'll make y'feel more comfortable.

[bekommen]

Maybe ...

[She thinks about Kennedy, about the coffeeshop shows they used to do together once the band blew up, just the two of them singing, Kennedy's guitar, and Nick with a tambourine. It hurts more than she expects, and she pushes the memory back down with a hard swallow.]

I dunno. I never took lessons or anything, I'm not that great. Maybe you should just get someone else.

[avephoenix]

[Oh no. :c Sorry, Nick. She didn't mean to bring up sad memories.]

All right, but the offer's still there if you change your mind.

[bekommen]

Yeah, maybe.

[Probably not, though.]

You should talk to Bianca. I think she used to sing for real or something, she sings to us over the phones sometimes.

[avephoenix]

[Okay! No problem, Faith won't force you.]

Will do, thanks!
