[Between the accords being pulled from under their feet, the riots with the mess they left behind, and Jack in general Angel hasn't had much time to sleep, but when she does it's like nothing she's ever experienced. Sometimes they're incredibly vivid, like she was actually there in that moment. Others are blurrier but leave her feeling like her heart has been ripped out each time she wakes from them. She needs someone to confide in, but has no one to turn to. Cue the blessing that is anonymous messaging boards. Even if she doesn't find the exact answers she seeks, she may at least find some solidarity, and be able to get this off her chest.]


ANONYMOUS ASKS:

Been having very strange dreams lately. Usually nightmares. Only started recently. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do about it? Thank you.

What why? Booze solves everything

[r3f4c70r3d]

I'm fairly certain alcohol has the opposite effect on situations. Also I don't have any.

[kirkwalled]

First of all that's a lie and I won't have it. Secondly, I can get some to you, I suppose. I've never done booze delivery but I will be happy to, if only to make sure you don't continue with these false and terrible opinions

[r3f4c70r3d]

You absolutely cannot deliver any to me, and my facts are backed up by statistics, which I have a lot of.

[kirkwalled]

Cannot or should not because don't be a baby.

Well, my facts are backed up with years of hard personal research. Don't you quote numbers at me until I hand you your own beer.

[r3f4c70r3d]

Cannot. Seriously, you can't.

[kirkwalled]

I've found there's very little I can't do. I bet you're on, what, Qresh? Haha, snob city.

What if I mail you beer?

[r3f4c70r3d]

I don't have the...authority to give you my location.

[kirkwalled]

[ well, now, what. Hawke was sort of going off the assumption here that Angel just didn't want anyone to show up -- not that it was an actual can't. ]

... Authority. Really? Are you in jail or something?

[r3f4c70r3d]

Or something.

[kirkwalled]

Or something.

I have to say, you're making me dreadfully curious what your Thing is. You're really going to keep up the vague and ominous thing instead of giving some sort of excuse? At least try to lie to me first, will you?

[r3f4c70r3d]

Okay.

I'm a criminal on the lam with my fellow escapees, and can't give away my location because this is a public forum and that would be counter productive.

[kirkwalled]

See, I like that much more and I suppose that's a fair enough point. What'd you do? Did you kill a man? Really make me believe it, tell me how it all went down.

[r3f4c70r3d]

[ [This is so far removed from Angels initial question but Angel finds herself humoring this person anyways.] ]

I've been an accomplice in countless dirty dealings, I play the bait and they...do the rest. Sometimes it ends in death, sometimes the mark is less lucky.

[kirkwalled]

[ Live a little, Angel! Enjoy the chaos that is Hawke's brand of... everything ]

See, now I'm almost sad this is most certainly a lie because wouldn't that be interesting? I always thought those forced to be the bait had it worse off, imagine all that guilt? Maker's ass, that would suck.

But if this is the lie, you've made me even more curious about what your real deal is. What's your name, Anonymous? Or is even that too much to ask?

[r3f4c70r3d]

[ [Don't be sad Hawke, because it's only a half lie!] ]

Yes. The guilt does "suck".

[ [Angel thinks for a moment, she can't give her real name, for obvious reasons, so what would be a good pseudonym? For some reason, the word "siren" comes to mind, and with it the beginnings of a headache, uhg. She'll need to crank up the painkillers when she's done with this.] ]

You can call me Siren.

[kirkwalled]

[ Oh, that's great news! Kind of. Oh boy. ]

What a pretty nickname. I'm Hawke! Not a nickname. My real name, actually. Though if I did have a nickname, it'd be something like... Dragon... Puncher, I think. Yes, Dragon Puncher.

[r3f4c70r3d]

[ Hawke...Hawke...that name seems familiar, Angel is sure she's read it somewhere recently. Is this person Company? She'll have to go through her files to confirm, but she has a feeling it's a name that's crossed her screen more than once.

Either way, they sure seem, er, eccentric. ]

It's nice to meet you, Hawke.

[kirkwalled]

[ Just don't ask Jack about her, Angel.

And eccentric is a good word for it. ]

It is nice to meet me! A pleasure, even. And when I figure out what's up with you, I'm sure it'll be nice to meet you too.

[r3f4c70r3d]

You remind me of someone.
And you're probably not going to get that far, but good luck. Though I'd strongly advise against even trying.

[kirkwalled]

Someone good, I hope.

And I'm persistent and with a heck of a death wish, it'll be fine!

[r3f4c70r3d]

"Good" is not the word I'd use.

[kirkwalled]

... Well, then why would you say I reminded you of them? D:

[r3f4c70r3d]

Because you do.

[kirkwalled]

And now I'm offended. I'd rather only be associated with good people, for the record.
