(OOC: Please note this UPDATE to the extent of Faith's double's attacks on the city!)


[After the first day of lighting temples on fire, Faith's double steals Faith's phone for just long enough to record this video and have a bit of fun with anyone who comments. Okay, a lot of fun. It's just so good to destroy her goody-two-shoes counterpart's reputation.

She starts as Faith would -- cheerful and bright.]

Hiya, everyone! Faith again, just wantin' to say hello to all of you I haven't met yet either 'cos you're new or, well, we just haven't met!

[She waves, like always, like she can't help but be happy despte the odds.]

In case anyone doesn't know, back home, I'm a Phoenix! [You can almost hear the different in how she says the word, the capital P -- the real Faith wouldn't give it such importance when talking of herself.] Not an actual bird or anything -- that's silly! wish I could fly, though -- just really, really powerful.

[And now there's a subtle but palpable change to her face and eyes, like a shadow coming over her. If you've ever mer Faith, you know this isn't her, because she'd never speak of herself like this.

Right?]

Powerful and rare, like a phoenix from mythology. I am one of very few. My people call me a living legend. Some think I should be served and honored like a god.

I think so too.

So if you see those puny little temples falling to bits in all that fire, that's just me takin' care of business, cleaning things up -- nothin' to worry about! Say goodbye to your gods, Hadriel, and let me take the helm.

My name is Faith, and if you have faith in me, you'll all be fine.

[For a split second, her grin goes sinister -- and then she giggles and blows a kiss, and the feed cuts out.]

You don't get to call me that.

( Yes, Kate. Tell the evil double exactly what pisses you off. Well done. )

[And now she gives a sinister laugh.]

Kitkat, you're wound up too tight. Let loose now an' then, let go. Have a drink or a good fuck. Gotta get over losin' Sam someday.

( It's years, decades, even, of keeping her face straight, of keeping the worst of her emotions bottled up that stops Kate showing anything more than a tightening of her jaws and - if possible - her eyes sharpening even further. )

... Be plenty of time to unwind after you're dust.

( Is that a threat? It just might be. )

[The double takes it as a threat. She knows what hurts Kate, knows which buttons to press.]

Lot of talk from the girl who's too scared of blood to save even her brother.

[A pause, long enough for her to give a cruel smirk.]

Come find us. Try an' find us.

[She knows full well the phones have GPS now, so of course she's going to destroy this one once she's had her fun.]

( It's a cheap shot, hitting Marc and her haemophobia in one go, but the worst thing?

There's a part of Kate, a sinister little whisper, that says that it's exactly what she would have done, exactly the buttons she would have pushed, in order to break someone like herself, years ago. )

You're a walking target, firebird.

( Two can play the nickname game. And she is, with all that fire billowing behind her, a massive pyre broadcasting her locations. )

Come and find me if you can. You'll burn like a moth flying into a flame.

[And when the gods block her progress, she and the fake Kate will be even harder to find, their attacks on abandoned buildings random and unpredictable. Really, the gods have done her a favor by fighting back.]
