( She met her in the bathroom. She's chatty. Wynonna does chatty, but not that chatty. Also, it feels like more is going on and she likes being in the know. It's fine. )

Everyone knows Waverly Earp. Former wife to the shield of Purgatory, now high up in Black Badge. We work for the same people. It all intersects. ( And to prove to her, she insists everything she's heard is positive. ) All good things.

Oh.

[There's a pause, because well.]

Nicole and I weren't actually married. I called it off before we actually got down the aisle.

[Which is not important. Does runaway bride sound better than divorcee? She's not sure, because neither scenario really makes her look good.]

Everything else is probably true though. You are ...

[Sorry she's blanking on your name.]
predilections: (you really like me)

Taylor. Linguist, polyglot, all around busybody. My boyfriend and I sort of fell into the Underground. He already had supernatural ties, little did I know, and I stumbled onto a conspiracy and found a persecuted race of fish people. They're safe now.

( And she can't tell her where they are, but they are somewhere safe. )

I do a lot of the translating, the research. And I've been in the field when the romance languages are needed. Italy was gorgeous. I've been to France, but not for the Underground. I avoid it now because I have a famous ex-boyfriend. Les Saison De Pêches?

( Totally slutty little romance novel. Steamy beach read a years back. She's the girl in that. )

Oh! I love translating. Are you mostly doing modern languages or are you delving into the dead language stuff?

[Languages seem like a much safer topic thank their respective personal lives.]

[personal profile] predilections 2025-06-20 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Dead all the way. I'm partial to ancient Sumerian, but I think there's just something about Enochian, you know what I mean?

( But how can there not be? It's ancient. )

[personal profile] stupetballs 2025-06-20 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man, I haven't gotten around to Enochian yet.

[You would think she would, given that she is a half-angel after all, but there's a scarce number of texts to practice on.]

I'm still working on tracking down primary sources.
predilections: (enjoyment)

[personal profile] predilections 2025-06-20 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I had a hot affair with an angel.

( Like you do. So she got it straight from the source! )

[Her eyebrows go up at that, and somehow, despite the circumstances of her birth:]

I didn't know angels did that.

Have sex? Fall in love? Oh yeah. Angels are people, too. Just, really, really old soldiers. Angels come in all shapes and sizes. And vessels.

( Why yes, she is well-versed. )

Oh. Huh.

[So her dad wasn't a one off. That's ... good to know at least.]

I've only really met one. It was a really small sample size.
predilections: (i like that very much)

[personal profile] predilections 2025-06-20 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
He was apparently celibate?

( Back into the personal, but Taylor loves to dish. She does, again, try and see where her boyfriend is, still listening. )
stupetballs: (032)

[personal profile] stupetballs 2025-06-20 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, he was definitely not celibate.

[Let's not talk about her father's brief affair with her sister.]

But he also had amnesia and thought he was human for a while, so it's hard to tell what's his actual personality or a side effect?
predilections: (enjoyment)

[personal profile] predilections 2025-06-20 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a soap opera.

( How fascinating. )
stupetballs: (31)

[personal profile] stupetballs 2025-06-20 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
It kinda was. We got him his memory back, but unfortunately he was killed shortly after, so we didn't really get a whole lot of time to talk to him.

[Which is unfortunate, given that he was Waverly's father and she very much wanted more time.]

I'm sorry. Angel blade?

( Taylor, you can't just ask how an angel is killed. )
stupetballs: (33)

[personal profile] stupetballs 2025-06-20 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Uh ...

[Waverly blinks, unsure how to answer that, but fortunately she's saved by the Dolls.

"Hey. We have a problem."]


A non-Thanksgiving problem?

["Afraid so."]

[personal profile] predilections 2025-06-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like it's going to be all of our problems. But, let me just...

( And she collects her plate and drink and heads her boyfriend off at the pass. They can move over here now. )
