[ the locket swings jarringly into action -- like a camera stuck to a pendulum, shuddering back and forth and only occasionally picking up a stern-eyed blonde. ] Ugh. Whose idea was it to glue a webcam onto a necklace--

[ there! steadied. there is first a grimace and then a forced smile and then a flutter of girlish eyelashes. ] First order of business? Those of you still bumming around the Station -- could you tell me how those repairs are coming along? I'm feeling a serious oncoming modernity craving. Like, a gallon of lattes and underwear that doesn't require learning whole new categories of knots.

Second: does anyone know how to make a quick buck outside shilling it for either court? [ she is not a fan of either of the caers. ] Preferably while also maintaining some facade of dignity.

And third and last but absolutely never least: does the name Sunnydale mean anything to anyone? Y'know, anyone other than the someones I've already talked with. [ hey! it's worth asking. doubly so now that it looks like she's here for the long(ish) haul. double ugh. ]

[ knots........ but the quick buck question is really relevant too. connor's subsisted entirely on junk food and living in cramped museum quarters back in LA, and money has never been an issue when he can just take things from Angel. he can hoof it out in the drabwurld by going back to his quortoth roots and hunt animals and shit but man he doesn't want to do that. he misses junk food. ]

You could work as a bodyguard? [ squinting ] That's what I'm doing, anyway.

Connor. [ oh you wonderful familiar voice you. even if familiar only by two conversations. she'll take what she can get. ] In any hypothetical bodyguard sitch? I call dibs on being Whitney Houston. I'm no Kevin Costner.

Hey. [ she gets an approved Connor smile, which is more like a quirk of his lips. then he just looks confused. ]

...You mean the Robin Hood guy?

I do. I do mean the Robin Hood guy. [ bless your sweet baby face it's great to talk to someone who gets even half a reference. ] And the Dances with Wolves guy.

And, it turns out, the Bodyguard guy.

Only seen one out of the three. [ but the title is self-explanatory... the bodyguard one that is. connor's not sure what dances with wolves would be about. ]

So I'm guessing he's the bodyguard in -- the Bodyguard, but you don't want to be the bodyguard because he... sucked as a bodyguard.

[ squints ]

He's not pretty enough.

[ she's playing, connor. get used to it. ]

[ amused. well she's not wrong ] Yeah. I can see how that would be a problem.

[ give him time he's getting there. ]
