23rd Slay [Accidental Voice] Caught in a Bad Romance

[whattingawhat]

---not fair. I mean seriously does everyone know about my relationship history? Is there some form that I forgot that I filled out. And those were two very specific, separete situations...vampires. Whatever. They had souls. Have souls. It's not like I--And there were people--okay person between--actually if you count Owen--who was post slayer--there were like at least 3 people who weren't vampires and I swear I did not date The Immortal. That was a rumor and also my decoy that was dating him. Give me a little credit. It's not like Spike went by William the Bloody when I was--or even--okay so Angel did go by Angelus for a little while but that was because he was--

[Deep breath]

Evil and you can't really say we were dating during the evil portion of The Life and Times at Sunnydale High. We were definitely broken up. You know that happens when your boyfriend kills your friends and your friends' fish.

[Some incoherent mumbling here by someone that is not Buffy]

What? No I do not have a supernatural fetish. I mean sure Satsu is a slayer and Riley was...he was normal for at least...a couple of months. Parker! Parker was entirely normal...and jerktastic but normal and Owen. I mentioned the normalacy of Owen right? And Pike back in LA. Also normal.

Not to mention Hello! Dating Eliot now and he's an entirely and totally normal boy.

[A very long pause]

Can't we talk about apocalypses or the times I saved the world or even my slay fashion faux passe.

[He might be standing behind her with this partly pissed-off and partly confused look on his face. His arms crossed over his chest as he watches her skeptically. And he's just gonna let her keep talking until she notices he's there.]

Is nothing sacred and private? [This is said to the person asking all the question. She shakes her head and starts to turn, catching sigh of Eliot out of the corner of her eye. A smile spreads across her face at first then it moves to an oh crap expression]

Apparently my relationship history is totally interesting?

[Action]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Seems like it.

[He answers, kind of jealous but totally passing it off as pissed off. At least she thought he was normal. That's the first time he's heard that. Of course he hasn't always been completely honest with what he does, not that she's ever asked. He likes that.

He nods at the question asker.]

Want me to punch him?

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[The guy in question takes off when Eliot mentions punching. She contemplates this for a very long moment. Eliot could hit him without causing actual mortal damage. After a second she shakes her head and sighs]

Tempting but no.

[She takes in his expression and winces a bit] Sorry you had to hear that?

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Everybody's got a past, I guess.

[He shrugs as if trying to shrug the entire thing off. It doesn't really do the job but whatever.

He lifts a bowl with seran wrap over it.]

I brought you darn chocolate mousse with fresh mint.

[Dawn yells from her bedroom. She would come tell her in person but she's painting her toenails purple.]

Buffy! You're broadcasting your rambling voice to the entire everybody! I so think Angelus counts though cause he was clearly sating you while he was evil, just in a creepy stalker-ish way.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[And the device gets switched off and stuffed away]

Yes that was so very obvious in the way that he--okay so he didn't try to kill me but--I am anti-dating evil people!

Learn from my mistakes.

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

Psshhh... I'm so your sister. Deal with it.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Which does not mean you should date vampires or army boys or anyone remotely like Parker.

Stick with the Owens of the world.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

Well everybody knows now, I think. Your dating history, I mean.

You really dated vampires? That seems like it would be kind of... romantic.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[She hesitates and then shrugs] If you like making out in cemeteries. There's a lot of pain and...pain and did I mention the blinding pain?

Re: [Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

You mean if/when they bite you? Yeah I can see how that would be painful.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

No. That part isn't--it's the other parts. The possessiveness even when you say no and the breaking up so that you can have a normal life and the you deserve more sort of things.

Buffy? Do you, want to be Readers Digesting your life? On the Network? Publicly?

Re: [Video]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Want to or have to. Pretty sure it's the second. Mortification is obviously what's happening here.

[Video]

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Mortification and word vomit! Don't ask me anything!

Re: [Video]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Oooooo-kay. Lips sealed. Might get Eliot to help me with that sealing lips thing.


...sorry.

[commarogue]

Still. Kind of a track record.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[Glare]

Do we really want to talk about records here?

[commarogue]

[Chuckle.]

Just saying...

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah yeah. Everyone is always talky.

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

Uh...it's. It's faux pas. Passe is...totally different. [It's easier to just be a know-it-all than to acknowledge...all of that mess.]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Hello. Slayer here committing aforementioned passe's. Pretty sure it's passe. Besides, you're not English or a billion years old.

[Clearly only Giles or someone well over the century mark can correct her English]

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

I-- what?

[Give him a moment.]

Oh. I get it. You're discriminating. This is cause I'm a nerd, ain't it? Just cause I like video games, I can't know some words? That's cold, Buffy.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[Have a blank look]

What are you even--seriously?

I did have a group of nerds who decided they were my arch nemisises one year.
