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.]

[Why does everyone rag on the quarterstaff?? God!!]

Quarterstaff's fun, all right? [There's laughter in her voice. Faith's not offended.]

I can make fire. Shoot it out of me hands, wrap meself up in flames.

['I'm a phoenix' wouldn't mean anything to Rey, so Faith keeps that to herself.]

Whatever. So long as you don't strain yourself bashing in some bastard's brains in.

[Lovely, Rey. So lovely.]

That right? [Huh.] Don't suppose you'd know how to at least absorb the flames you create, would you? Wouldn't want to see another firestorm sweep the city again.

Strain? Hah, this is like a good workout!

[It's true.]

Yeh! I can put 'em out, but not absorb. Extinguish. Not out to burn down the city, y'know? [She's a helper, not a destroyer.] Wait -- what d'ya mean, another? What happened?

[She scoffs, though she can't say she entirely disagrees.]

Fireflies came in with some of the arrivals at the time. Only they were the cause of actual fires. Putting them out isn't an issue, personally, but most aren't that fortunate.

[Seems that Rey is far from the only hothead in town these days.]
