voicetesting like it's hot

Okay, so the name is so unjustified. Tactless just sounds so ungraceful and I don't do yoga just because I happen to look great in the pants.

Honesty is something more people should embrace. Who has time to be moping around about all the things they could have and should have said? Oh, well I guess if you're an undead creature of the night you have eternity to pine. But still? Boring.

And if I'm going to be honest--which I always am, by the way--those shoes you've got, Mundane, are so last season. Maybe hit up something a little more worth my time than Ross? I'm not going to be living in a dump if I have to be here. Been there, done that enough for multiple lifetimes.

Actually, I think we can do with some new curtains. Or pretty much new everything. You're lucky you have me!

[So the version of her he knows is a lot older - right? But gosh she still has pretty hair and a pretty smile.

Man however, her voice hits an octave reserved for calling dogs.

Lindsey however - looking like a relaxed cowboy in jeans, shirt, and boots snorts.]

Last season shoes? c'mon.

I know, right?

[ Thank god someone understands! ]

Thank God, someone understands. I can't be seen like this. I have standards. And adoring fans somewhere, I'm sure.

[Lindsey shakes his head.] thousands of um'. I'm sure.

There's a Cordelia Chase Image to protect, here. What if I'm not living up to their expectations just because some random person with a computer has a lackluster impression of me? Can you even imagine how devastating that will be?

I can't. Actually.

Well I could, but I haven't in awhile. [real power is having people not know you but still being able to hurt them.]

I guess it must be easy being nobody. The pressure I'm under to meet even my own standards is brutal.

[ah ha. ha.] Yet I've never heard of you.

[Lies. He does know you. For the worst reasons.]

Well...

[ That's not fair at all. ]

...obviously you haven't been looking in the right places. I mean, I go to the same coffee shop every morning. They should know me by now.

...I shop at the fancy coffee shops in Los Angeles. The ones in downtown Hollywood.

...

[ Does that mean he is someone important? ]

Does that mean you are someone important?

Lindsey McDonald.

[Why yes. He does carry his cards around. Still. And they're still in good condition too. Don't let the cowboy look fool you.]

Attorney at law. Junior partner.

[ She takes the card and she would look impressed, honestly, but... ]

...You must not be a very good one if you can't afford a real suit.

[ It's said just as honestly as she says everything else. ]

...could be worse.

[it's a bit wary, really, the Slayer showing more caution than she normally would. But her last run-in with Cordelia hadn't exactly been a pleasant one...and she's fairly certain she won't be a welcome face, even here where they were both surrounded by the unknown]

[ Oh, it's you. Not really the person she was expecting or wanting to see. ]

Oh. It's you. [ A beat. ] Aren't you supposed to be in like some irreversible coma for joining up with the bad guys?

Wow. New curtains.

Talk about priorities.

You may be able to live in a dump, but if I'm really going to shine I really need to be in a nurturing environment. Which means the linoleum has to go.

She is lucky, luv, and don't let her forget it.

Right? I mean, she could have gotten stuck with you or something.

And what's that supposed to mean? [ it's hard to stay offended though and he just shrugs ] A whole bloody decade she's had to rail against me and she hasn't yet. You're not the only one shocked.

Oh, well-- [ Oops? ] --I didn't mean that you'd be bad to have around...except you kind are, I'm just an infinitely better choice. You know?

It's fine, Cordelia. I was agreeing with you. [ he waves a hand, he doesn't want to be around him either etc etc ] You make it to LA yet?

[ he wondered if it would ever be un-awkward to be ahead of everyone else, timeline wise. ]

Right! Good. [ It's good when they're all on the same page. ]

Well, yeah. You think I'd hang around Hellmouth Valley because I wanted to? Please.

Hey, was just going to congratulate you on getting out of there. Just in time, too.

Even if you do have to look at Broody McHairson all day.

Yeah, well...he's alright. As far as undead creatures of the night go. He's a great chef, did you know that?

Everyone keeps telling me that, but he's never cooked me a damn thing. I'll believe it when I see it. [ someone's bitter ]

Maybe once you get off the all liquid diet he'll indulge. Oh, and once you stop trying to kill him and everything he loves.

[ he actually laughs ] Yeah, old Peaches and myself have a history. We've got things good and patched up now, though.

As well as can be.

I dunno Princess, it could be worse.

Well, yeah. For them, maybe--

[ Wait a sec. ]

--hey! You're not dead!

O' course for them, no one wants to catch your wrath.

[ He grinned a bit, best reaction.]

I'm kind of somewhere in between t' be truthful. How are you doin' o' late?

Somewhere in between? [ Give her a second...and then she frowns. ] Wait--you're not a vampire now, are you? Can half-demons even become vampires? Does it mean you only drink demon blood now? That's going to be a lot more difficult to accommodate, I hope you realize.

Me? Well, besides the soul-splitting headaches and creep factor to the max visions you passed onto me, I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.

Not that I know o' yet. More I've been kind o' trapped between worlds. [ This was a moment worthy of a face palming.] I'm not a vampire Delia, I still be the same as I was.

Sorry 'bout that by the by, I didn't exactly mean to pass them to you.

Oh, that's good. I was just getting used to the whole porcupine thing.

You didn't? [ She actually looks a little disappointed. ] Oh, well...good! I mean, it's a pretty lousy parting gift. I'm totally okay with giving it back to you. I kept the receipt and everything!

I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not there.

[ He could hear it.] No no Princess, I mean I didn't wanna die with regret. I wouldn't purposely want t' give you somethin' that would hurt ya like the visions... though I'll admit I be glad you got'em. I knew you could take care o' Angel.

...Hate t' tell ya, but I still got'em too.

Porcupines are cute...in that whole "touch me and say goodbye to your new french manicure" kind of way?

[ She's trying! ]

Oh yeah, he'd be up the creek, yadda yadda without me. [ A beat. ] We miss you, though.

Wait, what? That's not fair at all! There can't be two people with visions!

...Point taken, but I'd never mess up your french manicure. Pretty sure you'd be messin' me up at that point.

Makes me real glad to know you've got a handle on him.

You're tellin' me. Though for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

[ Oh yeah. Because this totally is'nt weird or anything.]

Wow.

[ Because, it's really hard to even..]

Just wow.

What?

[ She's missing something, isn't she? ]

Am I missing something?

[ Oh. Boy. Is she missing something. ]

No.

[ Well..]

I just...you're a little different.

[ And she suddenly looks relieved. ]

Well I'm glad someone finally noticed!

[ There's something you should notice. ]

[ The lack of a baby?]

Bit hard not to, actually.

[ It's a nice guess but one she wasn't anticipating. ]

Right? I mean, guys can be dolts, but not everyone is completely oblivious.
