--like this?

[ Hello, City. Instead of more people discovering sand in things, this accidental broadcast seems to be showing two familiar ladies doing... something outside. Natasha is pressed up against Ariadne's back, one hand on the shorter woman's hip as she slides her back slightly, adjusting the way she's standing. ]

This gives us a better angle.

[ Natasha's other hand is on Ariadne's arm, and now she's shifting that, too. ]

Eyes forward.

[ There's a quiet noise of assent from Ariadne, and then Natasha shifts, tucking some hair behind Ariadne's ear. Lips close in, moving as the redhead says something. It's probably a wonderful sight for some of the City's residents...

...and then something shiny and sharp flies out of Ariadne's hand, embedding itself in one of the targets and making some sand trickle off the top upon impact. ]

I did it!

[ And that, City, is how to use throwing knives. ]

((ooc: regular black is Ariadne, bold is Natasha, and we make no apologies.))

Oh it's like... all rinse and repeaty with the big bads trying to destroy the world where I'm from. Which, most people don't know there world destroyage going on, but that's why we... my sister does what she does. She keeps people safe.

[If she sounds very proud of her sister, it's because she is. But don't tell Buffy that cause Dawn tries to only sparingly let her know that she's awesome. Otherwise it could go right to that Slayer head of hers.

Also, she's always available for girly moments. She really likes Ariadne and doesn't mind gushing over the boys with her.] See, I think that's important. The making you laugh and smile. It's a good thing. So how long have you been with him? Is he a good kisser? Spill!

I guess it could be happening back home, then, and I just wouldn't know about it. That's a little weird to think about it. Your sister sounds pretty cool, though.

[ Ariadne's an only child, but she knows Buffy's around -- thanks to Cobb and his temper tantrums, at least. Right now she's just having a hard time keeping herself from resenting the woman she's never met, though it's not Buffy's fault that Cobb told her to get out of his life.

Ariadne really likes Dawn, too. It's hard not to like Dawn. ] Me too. How long? Well... I'm not sure what counts as "official"? He's definitely a good kisser, though.

Well if you ever need the 4-1-1 on a beastie just let me know. I'm good at the research thing and I already know a lot of stuff about demons and hellgods and all that supernatural-y stuff.

She is cool, but not as cool as me. I'm definitely the cooler one of the two of us. The only reason everyone knows her and not me is cause she's all world important-y and stuff... cause of the Slayer thing. But actually I'm cooler... and I have better hair and fashion sense.

[She may love her sister, but she's still the baby sister and can definitely live up to the nickname 'brat' which Faith calls her sometimes. Dawn has yet to really sit down with Cobb and interrogate get to know him. It's on her list of things to do though, and when it happens it will be epic!]

Okay so are the two of you like exclusive or are you just casual and seeing other people? Cause that could be the determining factor of official.

[boutant]

I should get you into engineering sometime. You could tell me if what we've got will stand up against angry, non-friendly bug-aliens.

[ She laughs. Ariadne has the 'brat' thing down too sometimes, especially with Eames lately. Somehow, against everyone's expectations, she and the forger have become close. That's probably part of why she and Cobb had such a spectacular falling-out. ]

Well, it started out pretty casual? [ Actually, it started out as just a sex thing, but... public feed. ] But now it's more exclusive. I mean, his mother was here over the weekend and was asking me questions.

[the_dawnster]

[Dawn and Ariadne are going to be BFF's eventually. It's fate. Forget being fated to be a Slayer or some mystical key thing. Dawn's destiny is to be best friends with Ariadne. She accepts it graciously.

But now her eyes are going wide at the mention of Ariadne having to endure mama Weasley.]

Oh, I bet that was awkward! With his mom here. I would've been all stammer-y and yet even more ramble-y than normal... which is possible, believe me. Sad but true.

[boutant]

[ She's already fairly high up there on Ariadne's list without even really trying. Dawn's enthusiasm and rambling is a little overbearing at first, but Ariadne's nothing if not adaptable. It really is hard to dislike the other brunette. ]

A little, yeah. She was nice, though -- wanted to make sure he wasn't driving me crazy.
