[romanticidal]

♬ Ave Maria - Warshaw Philharmonic Orchestra

WHO || Buffy, Spike, Finnick, Myri, Dawn, Archer, Elena, Kat, Gar, Mark, Burt, Des, Rafael, Violet, Francesca, Luthir, and more~ [closed]
WHAT || Jade's burial.
WHERE || A cemetery, Chicago, IL
WHEN || July 8, 2013 [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

[ As the processional exits the church following after the casket, the Knights and co. might be surprised that a rather large crowd has gathered out here, apparently holding some kind of intense candlelight vigil in jade's honor, now that twilight is beginning to fall. Those who take a gander over at Burt might almost see the halo of innocence over his head as he avoids eye contact doo doo doo.

Either way, the cameras don't follow for this part, and so everyone just gets to participate in the slow walk past crying eyes of strangers who didn't even know Jade or Rafael or any of them, towards the nearby cemetery, where they position around the still open at the top casket as its placed next to the grave that will house her.

The priest begins to intone in elvish once more: final funeral rites, the long farewell bid to their kind, and the promise of reunion in the lands of light. ]

[ he frowns, glancing over his shoulder at the distant group ] ... Laura might know.

My first wife. She still lives there.

[65]

Do you mind asking her? I could understand why if you'd rather not.

[starfucker]

No, it's fine. We still talk sometimes. It wasn't a... bad terms divorce.

She never really settled into big city life. [ a beat ] And there might have been some... big city affairs. That she also had a hard time dealing with.

But she's got a good head for music, I send her tapes sometimes for a second opinion.

[65]

[because it makes him sound more like popstarchan but also because he is genuinely curious:] Did you send me to her?

[starfucker]

[ he actually smiles a little. ] Actually, I just sent her a picture. And said 'on a scale of one to panty tossing, rate this face.'

[ he pats finnick's cheeks ] No offense, babe, but I figured we could make up for it if you couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Just got lucky on that end.

[65]

None taken. That's one of the things I haven't been honest about, actually. When we came to your office, I was only going in undercover. I didn't think I was any more talented than the average person, but I had the look, so ... [shrug] You're right. You just got lucky.

[starfucker]

So what, you guys are looking into Chad's connection to this cult why, anyway? Why all the runaround?

[65]

They have something we want.

[starfucker]

Which is?

[65]

Part of the confidentiality agreement.

[starfucker]

What's the catch on this thing?

[65]

Catch? I'm asking for confidentiality because you don't always know when to keep your mouth shut. No offense. [diplomacy 15. being charming all the time gets tiring.]

[starfucker]

I am a fucking bastion of secrecy when I need to be. These lips can be tighter than a virgin's twat. [ yes, this is the man you are all investing your trust in ] So show me the dotted goddamn line already.

[65]

I don't carry contracts on me at all times, sorry. [r u srs] But I can have one drawn up. Don't worry, I'll be in touch with you. I think the others discredit how valuable you can be.

[starfucker]

If you're looking to screw Chad over, there's no one else better to have on your side. I've made a career outta it.

[65]

I knew we could count on you. [have a nice clap on the back. like, literally.]

[starfucker]

Well, maybe that's because you're the only one with half a brain on your little mystery machine crew.

[65]

And you thought I was only pretty.

[starfucker]

You're just full of surprises. And maybe some VDs, but who's judging.

[65]

[awww what a short-lived touching moment. w/e he's used to it.] Last I checked, that's a negative.

Anyway, I should probably get back to the group, before they end up killing each other. [don't even try to pretend that's not a possibility with the failboat ok.]

[starfucker]

Bring that contract by my office. And let Giovanni know he's meeting with his lawyer in the next day or two. I'm working on getting him up to speed.

[65]

Got it. I'll try to drop in tomorrow.

[and now it's time to go back to where he will be sorely underappreciated tbh :'| ]
