Faye in the Fall - Video and Action Options

[myfayevalentine]

[video]

 *It had taken Faye a few days to get round to making this video, thanks to a particularly hurtful fall out, and to the upsetting things said about her on that anon post. Still, Faye now had a job to do, so here she was, posture straight, looking very business-like. What is especially new for Faye is her outfit, one she had put together to reflect her new job. The hat is her favourite part of the outfit, an indication that she is someone worthwhile*

My name is Faye Valentine, and I'd like to introduce myself as a new Deputy Guardian of Nova City.

*There was a genuine smile then - small, but real - because she really is excited about starting this new job, hopefully a promising improvement on her life here*

It is important to me that the residents and visitors of Nova City are safe - please feel free to contact me if ever you feel that your safety is being jeopardised, and I will do my best to help.

[action - Nova City patrolling]

Faye has spent the past two years living in Nova so she is pretty used to the streets, but now that she is deputy guardian, she wants to get to know it better. She moves her shifts to get to see the city at all times of day - sometimes walking in the early morning, sometimes late at night, and sometimes strolling around during the daytime hours. If she sees anyone in trouble, she'll approach to help and, more to the point, if she seems someone causing trouble, then she'll be there to immediately check the situation. No doubt she will meet all sorts as she does her rounds.

[action - down time drinking]

After a long shift of patrolling, Faye is ready for a drink and a relax. To do so, she will take herself to a bar for a drink and a smoke, time to think and unwind. If she has been in Nova all day, she'll likely stay there for a drink in the evening, again trying different establishments, more to get a feel for what is happening around the city. If she has been working an early or late shift, Faye will head out some lunch alongside a beer, and might venture to Genessia or even Fayren for that. She will stay very clear of Everglade. Chances are, if you're out drinking or having lunch in a bar somewhere, Faye will very possibly be there too. Always alone, usually keeping thoughts to herself. After a drink or two, she won't exactly look like the happiest woman you ever did see.

Perfect.

*Faye takes two mugs and fills them with coffee. She carries them over to the table, then fetches some sugar just in case Andrea wants any. Finally, Faye sits down in front of one of the plates and nods in thanks*

This looks great. My appetite has all of a sudden completely come back to me. So thanks.

*Then Faye picked up her cutlery and got herself tucked into the food immediately*

[ Andrea thanks Faye for the sugar, already having some milk beside her for her coffee which she pours very carefully on her mug. She pays attention to Faye nonetheless, eager to see how the other woman would react to her cooking. Which is pretty good, if she says so herself. The egg yolk is runny but not too much, salted just slightly with a crispy edge. The bacon is peppered to balance out the saltiness, and the toast is warm and buttery. ]

You're welcome~

[ She puts the milk down and gives her coffee a bit of a mix along with a couple of teaspoons of sugar, mixing it again before looking at Faye with anticipation. ]

How is it? Not too shabby, huh?

[ Andrea's not cocky per se, but her cooking is something she's sure of after decades of making this same breakfast most mornings since middle school. She takes a bite out of the bacon first, smiling at Faye ]

Been eating these since I was really young. Always gives me a lot of energy.

*Once Faye tucks into her food, it's only after a few bites that she says anything - she's been too busy clearly enjoying it to pause to speak, humming happily*

Andrea. This is delicious. You're staying forever, right?

*Her way of saying that she is very grateful for this food. She looks up at her and nods with a smile as she continues eating*

Mhm. I can see why.

*Then she puts her cutlery down so that she can take a sip of her coffee - she's going to be finished her breakfast in no time, otherwise*

[ Andrea got a chuckle out of Faye's question ]

That depends on our boss Gale whether he wants me to or not.

[ She shrugs with a wink, eating alongside Faye while sneaking a piece of bacon down under the table for her 11-week old sheltie to eat ]

He was kind enough to let me stay here on my first day. We're both fighter pilots back home so we kinda have that camaraderie, yanno? Even if we're both from different worlds altogether. He's a cool dude.

[ She takes a bite of the toast ]

So how did you two meet?

[myfayevalentine]

Keep up food like this and he's hardly gonna kick you out. I do nothing but steal bottles from the bar and I'm still around so...

*Faye smirks and digs back into her breakfast which is disappearing very fast. She only stops for a second to watch the new dog*

Huh. I'm a pilot too. Not a fighter pilot but...it can end up like that. But, yeah, he is.

*She just casually notes to herself that not only is this woman hot and a good cook, they also had more in common*

I arrived and wanted to know where I could go for a drink. Lo and behold, Gale answered and offered me one. He's good at that.
